similarly qualified person in order to avoid a
hazard.
The airflow direction can be adjusted appro-
priately. At operating, adjust the vertical airflow
direction by adjusting the louvers of upward/do-
wnward direction. And then, hold two ends of
left and right louver to adjust the horizontal air-
flow.
Louver of left/right directionLouver of upward/
downward direction.
Don't insert your hands or stick into the air
intake or outlet vents.
Otherwise it will cause accident.
Don't blow the wind to animals and plants
directly. It can cause a bad influence to them.
Don't apply the cold wind to the body for a
long time.
It can cause the health problems.
Don't use the air conditioner for other purposes,
such as drying clothes, preserving foods, etc.
Splashing water on the air conditioner can
cause an electric shock and malfunction. Don't place a space heater near the air
conditioner.
Or CO toxicosis may occur for imcomplete
burning.

Anti-cool wind function:
In "Heat" mode, under the following three kinds of state, if indoor heat exchanger doesn't
arrive at certain temp., indoor fan will not act, in order to prevent cool wind blowing(within
2 mins):
1. Heating starts. 2.After Auto Defrost finished. 3.Heating under the low temperature.
Gentle Breeze
In the following situation, the indoor unit may blow gentle breeze, and
the guide louver rotate to a certain position:
1. In “Heat” mode, the unit turned on, the compressor doesn’t arrive the starting condition
2. In “Heat” mode, the temperature arrive at the setting value and the compressor stop

Working principle and special functions for heating
Principle:
Defrosting:
Air conditioner absorbs heat in the room and transmit to outdoor and discharged, so that
indoor ambient temperature decreased, its cooling capacity will increase or decrease by
outdoor ambient temperature.
If the unit is running in COOL mode and in low temperature, there will be frost formed on
the heat exchanger, when indoor heat exchanger temperature decreased below 0 , the
indoor unit microcomputer will stop compressor running and protect the unit.
℃
Air conditioner absorbs heat from outdoor and transmits to indoor, in this way to increase
room temperature. This is the heat pump heating principle, its heating capacity will be
reduced due to outdoor temperature decrease.
If outdoor temperature becomes very low, please operate with other heating equipments.
When outdoor temperature is low but high humidity, after a long while running, frost will
form on outdoor unit, that will effect the heating effect, at this time, the auto defrosting
function will act, the heat running will stop for 3-12mins.
During the auto defrosting, the fan motors of indoor unit and outdoor unit will stop.
During the defrosting, the indoor indicator flashes, the outdoor unit may emit vapor.
This is due to the defrosting, it isn't malfunction.
After defrosting finished,the heating will recover automatically.

use a vacuum cleaner, or wash them with warm water
the water with the neutral detergent should below 45
degree) ,and dry it in the shade.
NOTE: Never use water above 45 to clean, or it can
cause deformation or discoloration. Never parch it by
fire, or can cause a fire or deformation.
Insert the air filter
Reinsert the filters along the direction of arrowhead, and
then to cover the cover and clasp it.

When cleaning the front panel, please dip the cloth into the water temperature of 45 below, then to dry
the cloth and wipe the dirty part.
Note: Please do not to immerse the front panel in water, due to there are microcomputer components and
circuit diagrams on the front panel.

Troubleshooting
CAUTION
Don't attempt to repair the air conditioner by yourself, it can cause an electric shock or
fire. Please check the following items before asking for repair, it can save your time and
money.
Phenomenon Troubleshooting
Not operate immediately when the air
conditioner is restarted.
There's unusual smell blowing from the outlet
after operation is started.
Sound of water flow can be heard during
the operation.
In COOL mode, sometimes the mist emitted
from the air outlet vent.
Creaking noise can be heard when start or
stop the unit.
Once the air conditioner is stopped, it will
not operate in approximately 3 minutes to
protect itself.
The unit has no peculiar smell by itself. If has,
that is due to the smell accumulated in the
ambient.
Solution method: Cleaning the filter.
If problem still has, so need to clean air
conditioner. (Please contact with the authorized
maintenance center.)
The air conditioner is started, when it is
running the compressor started or stopped
running, or the unit is stopped, sometimes
there is swoosh or gurgle, the sound is due
to refrigerant flowing they are not malfuncti-
ons.
When the indoor temperature and humidity
are very high, this phenomenon would
happen. This is caused by the room air is
swiftly cooled down. After running for a while,
indoor temperature and humidity will fall
down, the mist will die away.
This is caused by the deformation of plastic
due to the changes of temperature.

Troubleshooting
Phenomenon Troubleshooting
The unit can not run. Has the power been shut down?
Is power plug loosed?
Is the circuit protection device tripped off or not?
Is voltage higher or lower?
(Tested by professionals)
Is the TIMER correctly used?
Cooling(Heating) efficiency is not good. Is Temp. setting suitable?
Were inlet and outlet vents obstructed?
Is filter dirty?
Are the windows and doors clothed?
Did Fan speed set at low speed?
Is there any heat sources in the room?
Wireless remote control is not available. The unit is interfered by abnormal or frequent
functions switchover occasionally the controller
cannot operate. At this time, you need to pull out
of the plug, and reinsert it.
Is it in its receiving range? Or obstructed?
To check the voltage in wireless remote control inside
is charged, otherwise to replace the batteries.
Whether the wireless remote control is damaged.
If water leakage in the room. The air humidity is on the high side.
Condensing water over flowed.
The connection position of indoor unit drainage
pipe is loosed.
If water leakage in outdoor unit. When the unit is running in COOL mode, the pipe
and connection of pipe would be condensed due
to the water cooled down.
When the unit is running in Auto Defrosting mode
the ice thawed and flowed out.
When the unit is running in HEAT mode, the water
adhered on heat exchanger dripped off.
Noise from indoor unit emitted. The sound of fan or compressor relay is switching
on or off.
When the defrosting is started or stop running,
it will sound. That is due to the refrigerant flowed
to the reverse direction.

Troubleshooting
Phenomenon Troubleshooting
Indoor unit cannot deliver air.
Moisture on air outlet vent ●If unit is running under the high humidity for
a long time, the moisture will be condensed
on the air outlet grill and drip off.
Immediately stop all operations and plug out, contact
the dealer in following situations.
There is harsh sound during operation.
The terrible odors emitted during operation.
Water is leaking in the room.
Air switch or protection switch often breaks.
Carelessy splash water or something into unit.
There is an abnormal heat in power supply cord
and power plug.
Stop running and pull out of the plug.
In HEAT mode, when the temperature of indoor
heat exchanger is very low, that will stop deliver
air in order to prevent cool air. (Within 2min)
In HEAT mode, when the outdoor temperature
is low or high humidity, there are much frost be
formed on the outdoor heat exchanger, that the
unit will automatically defrost, indoor unit stop
blowing air for 3-12min.
During the defrosting, there is water flowing out
or vapor be produced.
In dehumidifying mode, sometimes indoor fan will
stop, in order to avoid condensing water be vapo-
