NOTE:
•This product contains fluorinated greenhouse gases. Refrigerant leakage contributes to
climate change. Refrigerant with lower global warming potential (GWP) would contribute less
to global warming than a refrigerant with higher GWP, if leaked to the atmosphere. This
appliance contains a refrigerant fluid with a GWP equal to [2088]. This means that if 1 kg of
this refrigerant fluid would be leaked to the atmosphere, the impact on global warming would
be [2088] times higher than 1 kg of CO2 , over a period of 100 years. Never try to interfere
with the refrigerant circuit yourself or disassemble the product yourself and always ask a
professional. The specification of the fuse are printed on the circuit board, such as:
3.15A/250V AC, etc.
WEEE Warning
•Meaning of crossed out wheeled dustbin: Do not dispose of electrical appliances as unsorted
municipal waste, use separate collection facilities. Contact you local government for
information regarding the collection systems available. If electrical appliances are disposed of
in landfills or dumps, hazardous substances can leak into the groundwater and get into the
food chain, damaging your health and well-being. When replacing old appliances with new
ones, the retailer is legally obligated to take back your old appliance for disposals at least free
of charge.

TROUBLESHOOTING
In case of problems, first turn off the air conditioner and disconnect from the source of electricity.
Symptom Solutions
Air conditioner can
not operate at all
•Has the power been shut down?
•Is the wiring loose?
•Is voltage too high or too low? (measured by professionals)
•Does it reach the set time for start up?
•Does the circuit protection device trip?
Remote controller is
not available
•Is the remote controller out of effective distance to the indoor
unit?
•Are there any obstructions between the controller and the
signal receptor?
•Is the battery exhausted?
Cooling (Heating)
efficiency is not good
•Is the setting temperature suitable?
•Is the air inlet or outlet obstructed?
•Is indoor fan speed set at low speed?
•Is there any heat source in your room?
•Is the air filter dirty?
Indoor unit does not
operate immediately
when the air
conditioner is
restarted
•If the air conditioner is turned on immediately after it is turned
off, the protective delay switch will delay the operation for 3 to
5 minutes.
There is unusual
smell blowing from
the outlet after
operation is started
•The air conditioner itself does not have undesirable odor. If
there is odor, it may be due to accumulation of the odor in the
environment. Please clean the air filter or activate the cleaning
function.
There is sound of
running water during
the running of air
conditioner
• Sometimes the “hissing” sound of running water can be heard.
This is the sound of the flow of the refrigerant, not a
malfunction.
A slight “click” sound
is heard at the of
start-up or shut-down
•Due to temperature changes, panel, and other parts will swell,
causing the sound of friction. This is normal, not a fault.
During the cooling
operation, the indoor
unit outlet sometimes
will blow out mist
•This is because the indoor air is cooled rapidly. After it runs for
some time, the indoor temperature and humidity will be
reduced and the mist will disappear
NOTE: Do not attempt to repair the unit by yourself. For all replacements and repairs that need to
be made, contact Royal Sovereign Customer Service at [phone] or contact a qualified
service technician.
