INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
At this step, make sure the cabinet is
inclined approximately 1cm (3/8") to
the back (Fig.7).
If the cabinet is not properly inclined,
the water collected in the bottom tray
during operation will not drain prop-
erly and may flow into the room
where the air conditioner is installed.
When drainage is necessary
If outside water drainage is necessary in
high humidity district, or if you do not
prefer the splashing sound of the non-
drain function, cut off the blockage of the
drain joint .(Fig.5)
A hose of an appropriate length may be
attached to drain outlet water.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
PRECAUTIONS
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
VENTILATE THE ROOM PERIODICALLY DURING USE, ESPECIALLY IF GAS APPLIANCES ARE
USED.
ALWAYS USE A FUSE WITH THE PROPER AMP RATING
Never use wire, pins or anything other than the proper fuse. The product may be damaged and
fire or other hazards may be resulted. In replacing a blown fuse, or if there is the problem of
constant fuse blowing, contact your dealer or our service center.
WAIT FOR 3 MINUTES BEFORE RESTARTING THE COOLING OPERATION
Whenever you turn the air conditioner OFF, wait for at least three (3) minutes before restarting
the unit.
If you restart the air conditioner within three minutes, a protective device in the unit may cause
the air conditioner to shut off. This protective device will prevent cooling operation for about 5
minutes.
POWER SUPPLY VOLTAGE
If the power supplied to the unit is not within plus / minus 10 % of the specified rating, the unit may
not function and the fuse may blow.
NOTES ON OPERATION
WATER IN THE BOTTOM TRAY
Water will be collected at the bottom tray of the unit. This is normal condition. Water condenses
on the evaporator coil in the front part of the unit and is channeled to the rear where it is picked
up by the condenser fan. The water is blown onto the condensor coil fins, this creates a
"splashing" sound which is normal. When the tray is filled up with water, excessive water will be
drained outside through a grooved channel in the tray.
OPERATING TEMPERATURE RANGE
IF A POWER FAILURE OCCURS DURING OPERATION, MAKE SURE TO TURN OFF THE AIR
CONDITIONER
After resumption of power supply, restart the air conditioner . If the power was off for less
than three minutes, make sure to wait for at least three minutes before restarting the unit.
If the air conditioner is not turned off during a power failure, the resumption of power supply
will cause excessive voltage. The air conditioner will be over-loaded and will not operate for
about 5 minutes.
TO STOP THE UNIT, TURN THE SELECTOR KNOB TO THE "OFF" POSITION.
NOISE LEVEL
As the surrounding environment is comparatively silent at night, noise from the air conditioner
may be louder at night than in the day time. If you feel that noise of the air conditioner is too loud,
switch the "SELECTOR" knob to the "LOW COOL" position.

MODES OF OPERATION
Up/Down air flow

adjustment louvers
(Auto Swing)
Use to activate automatic louver movement during LOW COOL, MED COOL and
HIGH COOL.
AUTO SWING SWITCH
Adjust the louvers to change the direction of air flow for uniform and efficient cooling of the
room. Set the AUTO SWING switch ON ( ), and the Left/Right air flow adjustment louvers
will swing continuously to provide better circulation of cool air. The louvers will be stopped at
the position when the switch is turned off. You can also use the switch to adjust the Left/Right
air flow adjustment louvers to the desired position. Never attempt to move the Left/Right air
flow adjustment louvers manually, or manually force the louver movement to stop during
swing operation.
The AUTO SWING switch will not activate the louvers when the SELECTOR KNOB is set to
FAN.
If air in your room is stale, set the VENTILATION lever to the RIGHT (OPEN) position. This
will remove stale air from the room. The VENTILATION lever should normally be kept in the
LEFT (CLOSED) position during cooling operation for maximum cooling effect.
VENTILATION LEVER
Airflow direction can be adjusted by moving the airflow adjustment louvers upward or down-
ward. To avoid condensation on the louvers, please do not adjust these louvers to extremely
downward position during LOW COOL, MED COOL and HIGH COOL operation modes for a
long time.
