Using your air conditioner
Tips on using your air conditioner
Here are some tips that you would follow when using your air conditioner.
TOPIC RECOMMENDATION
Cooling
• If current outside temperatures are much higher than the selected indoor temperature,
it may take time to bring the inner temperature to the desired coolness.
• Avoid drastically turning down the temperature. Energy is wasted and the room does
not cool faster.
Heating
• Since the air conditioner heats the room by taking heat energy from outdoor air, the
heating capacity may decrease when outdoor temperatures are extremely low. If you
feel the air conditioner insufficiently heats, using an additional heating appliance in
combination with the air conditioner is recommended.
Frost & De-ice
• When the air conditioner runs in Heat mode, due to temperature difference between
the unit and the outside air, frost will form.
• If this happens:
- The air conditioner stops heating.
- The air conditioner will operate automatically in De-ice mode for 10 minutes.
- The steam produced on the outdoor unit in De-ice mode is safe.
• No intervention is required; after about 10 minutes, the air conditioner operates again
normally.
• The unit will not operate when it starts to de-ice.
NOTE
Fan • Fan may not operate for about 3~5 minutes at the beginning to prevent any cold blasts
while the air conditioner is warming up.
High indoor/outdoor
temperatures
• If both indoor and outdoor temperatures are high and the air conditioner is running in
Heat mode, the outdoor unit’s fan and compressor may stop at times. This is normal;
wait until the air conditioner turns on again.
Power failure
• If a power failure occurs during the operation of the air conditioner, the operating
immediately stops and unit will be off. When power returns, the air conditioner will run
automatically.
Protection mechanism
• If the air conditioner has just been turned on after operation stops or being plugged
in, cool/warm air does not come out for 3 minutes to protect the compressor of the
outdoor unit.
