immediately and turn the circuit breaker off.
6This air conditioner should be installed by a licensed air conditioning contractor in
accordance with AS/NZS 3000:2000 and your electricity suppliers rules.
7There are local council rules regarding maximum allowable noise levels emitted by air
conditioners, your licensed air conditioning contractor will advise you on the correct
location of your outdoor unit.
8Useonlythemanufacture-specifiedpowercordforreplacement.Replacementshouldbe

1If a gas appliance is used in the same room as the air conditioner, ventilate the room
periodically to prevent oxygen depletion.
2For safety, do not touch the unit with wet hands, it may cause an electric shock.
3For safety, turn the circuit breaker off when not using the unit for an extended period of
time.
4For safety, do not place anything on top of the outdoor unit or step on it.
5This unit is designed for residential use. Do not use for other applications such as in a
kennel or greenhouse to raise animals or grow plants.
6Do not block the air inlets or outlets of the unit.
7For safety, be sure to turn the unit off the circuit breaker before performing any
maintenance or cleaning.
8
Do not pour water directly on the unit. Water can cause electrical shock or equipment
failure.
9
This appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without

ADDITIONAL NOTES ON OPERATION
OPERATING TEMPERATURE RANGE •The built-in protective
device may prevent the
unit from operating when
used out of this range.
•Condensation may form
on the air outlet if the
unit operates continu-
ously in the COOL or
DRY mode when humid-
ity is over 80 percent.
D.B. = Dry-bulb W.B. = Wet-bulb
PREHEATING FUNCTION
In the HEAT operation, the indoor fan may not start for two to five minutes after the unit is turned on to prevent
cold air from blowing out of the unit.
DE-ICING FUNCTION
•When ice forms on the heat exchanger in the outdoor unit during the HEAT operation, an automatic de-icer
provides heat for about 5 to 10 minutes to remove the ice. During de-icing, the inside and outside fans stop
operating.
•After de-icing is completed, the unit automatically resumes operation in the HEAT mode.
HEATING EFFICIENCY
•The unit employs a heat pump that draws heat from the outside air and releases it into the room. The outside
air temperature therefore greatly affects the heating efficiency.
•If the heating efficiency is reduced due to low outside temperatures, use an additional heater.
•It takes time to warm up and heat the entire room because of the forced air circulation system.
TIPS ON SAVING ENERGY
Below are some simple ways to save energy when you use your air conditioner.
SET THE CORRECT TEMPERATURE
•Setting the thermostat 1°C higher than the desired temperature in the COOL mode and 2°C lower in the
HEAT mode will save approximately 10 percent in power consumption.
•Setting the temperature lower than necessary during cooling operation will result in increased power
consumption.
BLOCK DIRECT SUNLIGHT AND PREVENT DRAFTS
•Blocking direct sunlight during cooling operation will reduce power consumption.
•Close the windows and doors during opeation.
SET PROPER AIR FLOW DIRECTION TO OBTAIN THE BEST AIR
CIRCULATION
KEEP FILTER CLEAN TO ENSURE THE MOST EFFICIENT OPERATION
MAKE MOST OF THE TIMER OFF FUNCTION
DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD WHEN THE UNIT IS NOT USED FOR AN
EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME
•The indoor unit still consumes a small amount of power when it is not operating.
WHEN POWER FAILURE OCCURS
This air conditioner has a memory function to store settings when a power failure occurs.
After power recovery, the unit will automatically re-start in the same settings which were active before the power
failure, except for timer settings.
If the timers were set before a power failure, they will need to be re-set after power recovery.

and a mild detergent. Dry filters in the shade
before reinstalling.
4REINSTALL THE FILTERS
1Reinstall the filters in the original positions.
2Close the front panel.
3Push the center part of the panel firmly to
lock it in place.
MAINTENANCE AFTER AIR
CONDITIONER SEASON
1Operate the unit in the COOL
mode, temperature setting 32°C,
for about half a day to allow the
mechanism to thoroughly dry.
2Stop the operation and unplug the
unit. Turn off the circuit breaker, if
you have one exclusively for the air
conditioner.
3Clean the filters, then reinstall
them.
MAINTENANCE BEFORE
AIR CONDITIONER SEASON
1Make sure that the air filters are
not dirty.
2Make sure that nothing obstructs
the air inlet or outlet.
3Check the outdoor mounting rack
periodically for wear and to make
sure it is firmly in place.

IF THE UNIT FAILS TO RECEIVE THE REMOTE CONTROL SIGNAL
Check whether the remote
control batteries have be-
come old and weak.
Try to send the signal again
with the remote control
pointed properly towards the
unit’s signal receiver window.
Check whether the remote
control batteries are in-
stalled with the polarities
properly aligned.

BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE
The following conditions do not denote equipment malfunctions
UNIT DOES NOT OPERATE
The unit will not operate if it is turned on
immediately after it is turned off. The unit will not
operate immediately after the mode is changed.
This is to protect the internal mechanisms. Wait 3
minutes before operating the unit.
UNIT DOES NOT SEND OUT WARM AIR
The unit is preheating or de-icing.
CRACKING NOISE
Theunitmayproduceacrackingnoise.Thissound
is generated by the friction of the front panel and
other components expanding or connecting due to
a temperature change.
If the unit appears to be malfunctioning, check the following points before calling for
service.
IF THE UNIT FAILS TO OPERATE
Check to see if the circuit breaker has tripped or the fuse has blown.
IF THE UNIT FAILS TO COOL (OR HEAT) THE ROOM EFFECTIVELY
Check the filters. If dirty,
clean them. Check the outdoor unit to
make sure nothing is blocking
the air inlet or outlet.
Check the thermostat is
proper setting.
Make sure windows and
doors are closed tightly. A large number of people in
the room can prevent the unit
from achieving the desired
temperature.
Check whether any heat-
generating appliances are
operating in the room.
ODORS
Carpet and furniture odors that entered into the
unit and the air conditioner's inner component
odors at the early stage of installation may be
sent out from the unit.
SWISHING NOISE
The soft, swishing noise is the sound of
the refrigerant flowing inside the unit.
WATER VAPOUR
•In the COOL and DRY operation, wa-
ter vapour can sometimes be seen at
the air outlet due to the difference
between the room air temperature and
the air discharged by the unit.
•In the HEAT operation, water vapour
may flow out of the outdoor unit dur-
ing de-icing.
Please call for service when OPERATION Lamp and TIMER Lamp on the indicator panel blink.
