PART NAMES
CAUTIONS
1. If air conditioner is used outside of the above conditions,
certain safety protection features may come into operation
cause the unit to function abnormally.
2. Room relative humidity less than 80%. If the air conditioner
operates in excess of this figure, the surface of the air conditioner
may attract condensation. Please sets the vertical air flow
louver to its maximum angle (Vertically to the floor), and
set HIGH fan mode.
3. Optimum performance will be achieved within these
operating temperature.

AUTO / COOL
MANUAL OPERATION
1Open and lift the front panel up to an angle at which it
remains fixed with a clicking sound.
2Press the button until the AUTO indicator is lit, the unit
will work in forced AUTO mode.
3Close the panel firmly to its original position.
Manual operation can be used temporarily in case you cannot find the remote controller or its batteries are
exhausted.
HOW THE AIR CONDITIONER WORKS
■AUTOMATIC OPERATION
•When you set the air conditioner in AUTO mode, it will
automatically select cooling, heating (cooling/heating
models only), or fan only operation depending on
what temperature you have selected and the room
temperature.
•The air conditioner will control room temperature
automatically around the temperature point set by you.
•If the AUTO mode is uncomfortable, you can select desired
conditions manually.
■SLEEP OPERATION
•When you push SLEEP button during cooling, heating
(cooling only type without), or AUTO operation, the
air conditioner will automatically increase (cooling) or
decrease (heating) 1°C per hour. The set temperature
will be steady 2 hours later.
•The fan speed will be automatically controlled.
■DRYING OPERATION
•The dry mode will automatically select the drying operation
based on the difference between the set temperature and
the actual room temperature.
•The temperature is regulated while dehumidifying by repeating
turning on and off of the cooling operation or fan only. The
fan is low.

OPTIMAL OPERATION
To achieve optimal performance, please note the following:
•Adjust the air flow direction correctly so that it is not directed on people.
•Adjust the temperature to achieve the highest comfort level. Do not adjust the unit to excessive temperature
levels.
•Close doors and windows on COOL or HEAT modes, or performance may be reduced.
•Use TIMER ON button on the remote controller to select a time you want to start your air conditioner.
•Do not put any object near air inlet or air outlet, as the efficiency of the air conditioner may be reduced and the air
conditioner may stop running.
•Clean the air filter periodically, otherwise cooling or heating performance may be reduced.
•Do not operate unit with horizontal louver in closed position.
PREPARATION BEFORE INSTALLATION
•Before doing any work, check the interior power supply cord and the main breaker capacity are sufficient and the
installation area is sufficient and complies with the requirements.
•Check that the power supply available agrees with name plate voltage.
•Electrical work, wiring and cables must be in compliance with national and local wiring codes and standard.
•Do not use the extension cables. In the case extended cables are needed, use the terminal block.
SELECTION OF THE LOCATION
•Select a place which provides the space around the units as shown in the diagram below.
INDOOR UNIT OUTDOOR UNIT
•Do not install in a place that cannot bear the weight of the unit.

of 2.3 metres or more from the floor.
•
A, B and C directions should be free from obstructions.
NOTES
•This illustration is for explanation purposes only.
•Copper lines must be insulated independently.

■Fixing
•Place the installation guide pattern on the designated
installation place and mark the hole position.
•Drill a hole and mount installation plate.
•After determining the pipe hole position. Drill the hole
at a slight downward slant towards the outdoor side.
Outdoor
Indoor
Note:
When installing the
refrigerant pipes from
others side. A hole
must be place to
allow fall towards the
outdoor unit.
• Make 6 mm 4-6 holes, in the wall at the four corners of
mounting plate (bracket) then insert appropriate mounting
devices.
• Install the mounting plate using 4-6 pieces of mounting
screw securely at four corners and tighten the screw
completely. Do not over tighten the screws and deform
the back plate.

•Be careful when handling the sharp edge of the mount-
ing plate.
■Wiring
• This indoor unit is ready for connection to the outdoor unit.
•Never modify the unit by removing any of the safety
guards or by passing any of the safety interlock
switches.
•Connect the interconnecting cable correctly and con-
nect the connecting cable to terminal as identified with
their respective marking.
•Do not damage the conductor core or inner insulation
of power supply cables and do not deform or crush the
cables.
■Piping
The auxiliary piping can be connected in the directions
shown the above diagram. To connect in the D, Eand
Fdirection, pipes will need to be extended.
•Bend pipes carefully to avoid flattening or obstructing
them if the pipes are bent incorrectly, the indoor unit
may be unstable on the wall.
•Carefully arrange pipes so that pipes do not stick out
of the rear plate of the indoor unit.

■Drain hose
•Drain hose is flexible and can be routed to suit various
piping arrangements. The drain line must include elbow
trap (U bend). Connect a plastic condensate pipe with
an internal diameter of 12 mm.
•The drain hose can be connected to the left or the right
side.
Verification of condensate water drainage:
Fill the drain pan with water and observe evacuation.
Note: Do not put the drain hose end into water.

■Indoor Unit Fixing
•Thread the indoor unit piping and cable through the hole.
•Hang the top of the unit onto the upper ridge of them in mounting plate.
•Make sure that the unit is correctly hung in place by sliding it to the left, then to the right.
•Press the bottom left and bottom right hand corners of the unit against the mounting plate until the fixing prongs
click into place in the retainers provided to that effect.

■Fixing and Piping
•Piping must be performed by qualified personnel ac-
cording to good refrigeration systems practices.
•Piping materials and insulation materials must be of
refrigerant quality.
•Select the pipe diameters according to the size of unit
and cut the pipe to design length by using pipe cut-
ter.
•Install the flare nuts and flare the end of the pipes.
•Check that no foreign bodies are inside the piping.
•Align the central of the connecting pipes and tighten
the flare nut.
•Fix piping with pipe clamps and check that any pipe
vibrations cannot be transmitted to the building struc-
ture.
•Connect the pipe correctly.
•Do not apply the excessive torque.
•Use an appropriate bending tool to form curves and
avoid over-tightening the refrigerant tubes.
•To prevent heat loss, the two lines must be insulated
separately.
■Maximum Piping Length
The suction line must have a 2% gradient up to the
compressor on horizontal sections.
Where piping lengths are unusually long and include a
large number of oil traps, it may be necessary to adjust
to compressor charge.
■Refrigerant piping connections
(FLARE connections)
To avoid alteration of unit capacities, check that piping
lengths and changes in elevation are kept to a strict
minimum.
Before connectiong the refrigerant lines, follow the
procedures below (if pre-charged connection lines are
not supplied):
•Select copper pipe diameters according to the size of
unit to be installed.
•Install the refrigeration lines, checking that no foreign
bodies get inside the piping.
•Install the flare connectors and flare the ends of the
pipes.
•Evacuate the piping. This operation, which should last
at least 15 minutes if there are large piping lengths and
changes in elevation, should be followed by a leak test.
Refrigerant charge to be added per extra meter
of piping length when more than 7.5 meters.
