Special functions
Refrigerant Leakage Detection
With this new technology, the dipsplay area will appear EC and the indication lamps continue flashing
when the outdoor unit detects refrigerant leakage.
Louver Angle Memory Function (optional)
Within the scope of safety angle, it will memorize the open angle of horizontal louver. If it exceeds, it will
memorize the boundry of safety angle. In the following circumstances, it will return to standard angle:
1) pressing the manual control button, 2) unplug and then plug in the machine. So we strongly suggest that
the open angle of the horizontal louver should not be set too small, in case the condensed water forms
and drops from the horizontal louver.
SELF CLEAN function (optional)
•Function used after the Shut Down of cooling operation to clean the Evaporator and keep it as fresh for
the next operation.
•The unit will operate as following sequence : FAN ONLY mode at Low fan speed, Heating operation with
LOW fan speed(applicable to cooling & heating modles only), FAN ONLY operation, Stop Operation, Turn
off.
Note:
•This function is only available under COOL(AUTO COOL, FORCED COOL) and DRY mode.
•Before select 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 setting will be cancelled.
•During Self Clean operation, when press the SELF CLEAN button on the remote controller again will stop the
operation and turn off the unit automatically.
CLEAN AIR function (on some models)
Improving the quality of indoor air is one of the purposes of an air conditioner. This air conditioner is
equipped with ionizer or Plasma Dust Collector(Depending on specific configuration of the model). With
the anions generated by Ionizer, the air circulation of the air conditioner fills the room with refreshing,
natural and healthy air. The Plasma Dust Collector generates a high voltage ionization zone, through which
the air is converted to plasma. Inside the air most of the dust, smoke, and pollen particles are captured by
the electrostatic filter.
Anti-mildew function (optional)
When turns off the unit on COOL, DRY, AUTO (Cool) mode, the air conditioner will continue operating for
about 7-10 minutes (depending on models) at LOW fan speed. If turns off on HEAT mode, the unit will
continue operating for about 30 seconds at LOW fan speed. This will help to dry up the condensed water
inside the evaporator, and prevent the breeding of mildew. Under Anti-mildew operation, do not restart
the air conditioner until the unit is completely off.
NOTE: This manual does not include Remote Controller Operations, see the Remote Controller Manual packed
with the unit for details.

How the air conditioner works
AUTO operation
•When you set the air conditioner in AUTO mode, it will
automatically select cooling, heating(cooling/heating
models only), or fan only operation depending on set
temperature and the room temperature.
•The air conditioner will control room temperature
automatically to the temperature point you set.
•If you feel uncomfortable in the AUTO mode, you can set
your desired temperature.
SLEEP operation
When you push SLEEP button on remote controller
during cooling, heating(cooling & heating models only),
or AUTO operation , the air conditioner will
automatically increase (cooling) or decrease (heating)
2°F / 1°C per hour for the first 2 hours, then hold

•During the dry operation, if the room temperature is lower than 50°F (10°C), the compressor stops
operation and restarts until the room temperature is above 54°F (12°C).
Optimal operation
To achieve optimal performance, please note the following:
•Adjust the air flow direction correctly so that it is not forwards people.
•Adjust the temperature to achieve the highest comfort level. Do not adjust the unit to excessive
temperature levels.
•Close doors and windows on COOL or HEAT modes, or performance may be reduced.
•Use TIMER ON button on the remote controller to select a time you want to start your air conditioner.
•Do not put any object near air inlet or air outlet, as the efficiency of the air conditioner may be reduced
and the air conditioner may stop running.
•Clean the air filter periodically, otherwise cooling or heating performance may be reduced.
