Safety Precautions
This product contains fluorinated greenhouse gases.
WEEE Warning
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.

The specification of the fuse are printed on the circuit board,
such as: 3.15A/250V AC, etc.
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 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 leak to
the atmosphere , the impact on global warming would be 2088［］
time higher than 1 kg of CO , 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.

CAUTION ！

If your air
conditioner is not
fitted with a supply
cord and a plug, an
all-pole switch must
be installed in the
fixed wiring and the
distance between
contacts should be
no less than 3.0 mm.
The power supply circuit should have leakage protector and air
switch of which the capacity should be more than1.5 times of
the maximum current.
Appropriate adjustments of the
setting temperature can prevent
the waste of electricity.
If your air conditioner is permanently connected to the fixed
wiring, residual current device (RCD) having rated residuala
operating current not exceeding 30 mA should be installed in

too large.
Safety Precautions
- 5 -
Regarding the installation of the air conditioners, please refer
to the below paragraphs in this manual.

The conditions of unit can t normally run'
*Within the temperature range provided in following table, the air conditioner may
stop running and other anomalies may arise.
*When the temperature is too high, the air conditioner may activate the automatic
protection device, so that the air conditioner could be shut down.
When the temperature is too low, the heat exchanger of the air conditioner may*
freeze, leading to water leakage or other malfunction.
In long-term cooling or dehumidification with a relative humidity of above 80%*
(doors and windows are open), there may be water condenses or dripping near
the air outlet.
*T1 and T3 refer to ISO 5151.
Notes for heating
*The fan of the indoor unit will not start running immediately after the heating is
started to avoid blowing out cool air.
When it is cold and wet outside, the outdoor unit will develop frost over the heat*
exchanger which will compromise the heating capacity. This is when the air
conditioner will start defrost.
During defrost, the air conditioner will stop heating for about 5-12 minutes.*
Vapor may come out from the outdoor unit during defrost. This is not a malfunction,*
but a result of fast defrost.
Heating will resume after defrost is complete.*
Notes for turning off
*When the air conditioner is turned off, the main controller will automatically decide
whether to stop immediately or after running for dozens of seconds with lower
frequency and lower air speed.
