on air conditioner when operating.
Do not drop or throw the remote control.
Do not place the remote control in a
location that is exposed to direct
sunlight or next to a heating unit or
other heat souces.

Gas leaks near the unit could cause fire.
Ensure that the drainage piping is connected properly. R32
Otherwise water will leak out.
In cases that require mechanical ventilation, ventilation openings shall be kept clear of obstruction.
Ventilate any enclosed areas when installing or testing the refrigeration system.
Escaped refrigerant gas, on contact with fire or heat, can produce dangerously toxic gas.
Confirm after installation that no refrigerant gas is leaking. If the gas comes in contact with a burning
stove, gas water heater, electric room heater or other heat source, it can cause the generation of toxic gas.
There should not be any obstacles surrounding the unit.
Prepare and installation hole slightly bigger than the cabinet size.
Left and right side of the unit should be at least 15 cm

regular cleaning. Consult Shun Hing Electric Service Centre Ltd.,
6HELPFUL INFORMATION & ENERGY SAVING HINTS
HELPFUL INFORMATION
ENERGY SAVING HINTS
Auto Restart Control
Timer Setting
Operation will automatically resume under the previous operation mode.
If the unit was set to TIMER mode or SLEEP mode, operation will not resume automatically.
When power failure occurs, the timer setting is cancelled. Once power returns, reset timer.
Setting the temperature 1 C higher save 10% electricity costs.
Your air conditioner’ s cooling capacity should match your room size.
For health reason do not overcool your room.
Avoid direct sunlight and heat
Keeping openings closed keeps cool air in and hor air out.
Clean the ait filter every 2 weeks. Regular cleaning of the air filter preserves efficiency.
7CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Always turn off the air conditioner and the main power supply before cleaning
the unit.
Switch off the power supply if the unit is not going to be used for a long period
of time.
Clean the cabinet, front grille with mild soap or detergent and lukewarm water.
NOTE: Do not dry the front panel or the air filter in direct sunlight.
(Exposure to direct sunlight may discolour deform the panel.)
If the air filter becomes clogged with dust, the cooling capacity will drop, and 6% of the electricity used to
operate the air conditioner will be wasted.
If the unit is extremely dirty, heat transfer is less effecient and the unit may not cool effectively. Contact
Shun Hing Electric Service Center Ltd. for an annual check. (Annual check is not covered by the warranty.)
Do not clean with benzene, thinner, scouring powder or cloth soaked in caustic chemicals.
The filter can be easily cleaned using a vacuum cleaner. Vacuum the front of the filter and then wash the
rear with water. If it is badly spoiled, wash with a mild household detergent.
The front intake grille can be easily removed for cleaning purposes (refer to Remove the front intake
grille procedures). Gently wash it with water and a sponge.
