The ventilation lever is designed to help you get fresh air from outdoors.  
It can also help prevent strong outdoor odors from entering the room  
through the air conditioner. The lever is located on the lower right side  
of the air flow blades.  
Sliding the ventilation lever to the right lets outdoor  
air enter the room, and sliding the lever to the left  
re-circulates existing air within the room.  
Depending on your model, the ventilation lever

cleaning and maintaining your  
air conditioner  
Keeping your air conditioner clean improves its performance, wards off unnecessary repairs, and lengthens  
its life.  
CLEANING THE EXTERIOR  
1. Wipe the surface of the appliance with a slightly wet or  
dry cloth when needed.  
Do not use Benzene, Thinner or CloroxTM.  
They may damage the surface of the unit and can create  
CAUTION  
a risk of fire.  
CLEANING THE AIR FILTER  
1. Open the front grille and pull out the air filter inserted at the back of the front grille.  
2. Vacuum the air filter completely.  
3. Push the air filter back into place.  
For best conditions, repeat every two weeks.  
If the air filter dries in a confined (or humid) area, odors may generate. If this occurs,  
re-clean and dry in a well-ventilated area.  
MAINTAINING THE AIR CONDITIONER  
If the air conditioner will not be used for an extended period of time, dry it thoroughly and disconnect from the wall.  
There may be internal damage if moisture is left in its components.  
1. Before storing the appliance, operate the air conditioner in Fan mode for three to four hours to  
dry the air conditioner completely.  
2. Upon removing from storage, dry the inner components of the air conditioner again by  
running in Fan mode for three to four hours. This helps remove odors which may have  
generated from dampness.

Press or to increase or decrease the temperature.  
Check if the air filter is blocked by dirt. Clean the air filter every two weeks.  
Check if the air conditioner has just been turned on. If so wait 3 minutes.  
Check if the appliance is running in a smoky area or if there is a smell  
entering from outside. Operate the air conditioner in Fan mode or open  
the windows to air out the room.  
Odors permeate the  
room during operation.

The air conditioner  
makes a bubbling sound.  
A bubbling sound may be heard when the refrigerant is circulating through  
the compressor. This is normal operation.  
The air conditioner  
vibrates excessively  
or makes a lot of noise  
during operation.  
Check if there is a gap between the air conditioner and the wall. Insulate  
the crack securely.  
Water is dripping from  
the air flow blades.  
Check if the air conditioner has been cooling for an extended period of  
time with the air flow blades pointed downwards. Condensation may  
generate due to the difference in temperature. Push the vertical air flow
