OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Special Functions
Improving the quality of indoor air is one of the purposes of an air conditioner. This air
conditioner is equipped with IONIZER. With the anions generated by IONIZER, the air
circulation of the air conditioner fills the room with refreshing, natural and healthy air.
CLEAN AIR Function
O
8 C HEATING
O
In heating operation, the preset temperature of the air conditioner can be as low as 8 C,
which keeps the room temperature steady at 8 C in winter.
O
FOLLOW ME Function
To activate the FOLLOW ME feature, point the remote control towards the indoor unit
receiver and press the FOLLOW ME button. The remote display shows the actual
temperature at its location. The remote control will send this signal to the air conditioner
at 3 minutes intervals until the FOLLOW ME button is pressed again. If the unit does not
receive any FOLLOW ME signal during any 7 minute interval, the FOLLOW ME mode will
be deactivated automatically.
The remote control serves as a remote thermostat, allowing for precise
temperature control at its location.
SELF CLEAN Function
This function is used after the Shut Down of cooling operation to clean the Evaporator
and keep it fresh for the next operation.
The unit will operate as following sequence : FAN ONLY mode at LOW fan speed,
HEATING mode with LOW fan speed (applicable to cooling & heating models only),
FAN ONLY mode, stop operation, turn off.
NOTE:
This function is only available under COOL (AUTO COOL, FORCED COOL) and DRY.
Before selecting the function, it is recommended to run the air conditioner under Cooling
Operation for about half an hour. Once the SELF CLEAN function is activated, all TIMER
settings will be cancelled.
When the SELF CLEAN button on the remote control is pressed again during the SELF
CLEAN operation, the operation will stop and the unit will turn off automatically.
REFRIGERANT LEAK DETECTION
With this New Technology, ‘EC’ will appear in the display area when the outdoor unit
detects refrigerant leakage.

INTELLIGENT EYE DETECTOR
With the built-in infrared sensor, the unit can detect the presence of humans in the room. If the
unit detects no human activity continuously for 30 minutes, it will automatically enter standby
(monitor) status in order to save power consumption. The unit will automatically start and
resume operation when human activity is sensed again.
LOUVER ANGLE MEMORY Function
Within the scope of safety angle, the unit will memorize the open angle of horizontal
louver. If it exceeds this, it will memorize the boundary of safety angle. In the
following circumstances, it will return to standard angle:
1) The turbo or manual control button has been pressed;
2) The machine has been unplugged and then plugged in again.
We strongly suggest that the open angle of the horizontal louver should not be set too
small in case condensed water forms and drops from the horizontal louver.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Airflow Direction Control
Adjust the airflow direction properly, otherwise it might
cause discomfort or cause uneven room temperature.
Adjust the horizontal louver using the remote control.
Adjust the vertical louver manually (for models without
motorised louver function) or using the remote control.
To set the vertical airflow (UP - DOWN) direction:
Perform this function while the unit is in operation. Use
the remote control to adjust the air flow direction. The
O
horizontal louver can be moved at a range of 6 for each
press, or swing up and down automatically. Please refer
to the ‘REMOTE CONTROL MANUAL’ booklet for details.
To set the horizontal airflow (LEFT - RIGHT) direction:
Move the Deflector Rod manually to adjust the air flow
in the direction you prefer. (FOR MODELS WITHOUT
MOTORISED HORIZONTAL LOUVER FUNCTION)
IMPORTANT: Do not put your fingers into the panel of
blower and suction side. The high-speed fan inside may
cause injury.
For some models, the vertical louver can be adjusted
by using the remote control. Please refer to the
‘REMOTE CONTROL MANUAL’ for details.
Do not operate the air conditioner for long periods with
the airflow direction set downward in cooling or
dehumidifying mode. This may cause condensation on
the surface of the horizontal louver causing moisture to
drop onto the floor or on furnishings.
When the air conditioner is started immediately after it
was stopped, the horizontal louver might not move for
approximately 10 seconds. Please wait.
Open angle of the horizontal louver should not be set
too small, as COOLING or HEATING performance may
be impaired due to too greatly restricted area of airflow.
Do not move the horizontal louver manually, otherwise
the horizontal louver will be out of sync. Please cease
operating, unplug power for a few seconds, then restart
the air conditioner.
Do not operate unit with horizontal louver in closed
position.
CAUTION
Manual operation can be used temporarily in case the remote control is disabled or the unit
requires maintenance.

conditioner is used outside of the above conditions, certain safety protection features
might come into operation and cause the unit to function abnormally.
2. Room relative humidity should be less than 80%. If the air conditioner operates in excess
of this figure, the surface of the air conditioner may attract condensation. Please set the
vertical airflow louver to its maximum angle (vertically to the floor), and set HIGH fan mode.
