4
Do not put anything on the outdoor unit nor step on it. The object or the person may fall
down or drop, causing injury.
5
This unit is designed for residential use. Do not use for other applications such as in a
kennel or greenhouse to raise animals or grow plants.
6
Do not place a vessel with water on the unit. If water penetrates into the unit, electrical
insulations may deteriorate and cause electric shock.
7
Do not block the air inlets nor outlets of the unit. It may cause insufficient performance
or troubles.
8
Be sure to stop the operation and turn the circuit breaker off before performing any
maintenance or cleaning. A fan is rotating inside the unit and you may get injured.
9
Do not splash or pour water directly on the unit. Water can cause electrical shock or
equipment damage.
10
This appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without
11
supervision.
Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
CAUTIONS FOR LOCATION / INSTALLATION
• Make sure to connect the air conditioner to power supply of the rated voltage and
frequency.
Use of a power supply with improper voltage and frequency can result in equipment
damage and possible fire.
• Do not install the unit in a place where inflammable gas may leak. It may cause fire.
Install the unit in a place with minimal dust, fumes and moisture in the air.

• The built-in protective device may prevent the unit from operating when used out of this range.
• Condensation may form on the air outlet if the unit operates continuously in the COOL or DRY mode when
humidity is over 80 percent.
WHEN POWER FAILURE OCCURS
This air conditioner has a memory function to store settings when a power failure occurs.
After power recovery, the unit will automatically re-start in the same settings which were active before
the power failure, except for timer settings.
If the timers were set before a power failure, they will need to be re-set after power recovery.
PREHEATING FUNCTION
In the HEAT operation, the indoor fan may not start for two to five minutes after the unit is turned on
to prevent cold air from blowing out of the unit.
DE-ICING FUNCTION
• When ice forms on the heat exchanger in the outdoor unit during the HEAT operation, an
automatic de-icer provides heat for about 5 to 10 minutes to remove the ice. During de-icing, the
inside and outside fans stop operating.
• After de-icing is completed, the unit automatically resumes operation in the HEAT mode.
HEATING EFFICIENCY
• The unit employs a heat pump that draws heat from the outside air and releases it into the room.
The outside air temperature therefore greatly affects the heating efficiency.
• If the heating efficiency is reduced due to low outside temperatures, use an additional heater.
• It takes time to warm up and heat the entire room because of the forced air circulation system.
TIPS ON SAVING ENERGY
Below are some simple ways to save energy when you use your air conditioner.
SET THE CORRECT TEMPERATURE
• Setting the thermostat 1°C higher than the desired temperature in the COOL mode and 2°C lower
in the HEAT mode will save approximately 10 percent in power consumption.
• Setting the temperature lower than necessary during cooling operation will result in increased
power consumption.
BLOCK DIRECT SUNLIGHT AND PREVENT DRAFTS
• Blocking direct sunlight during cooling operation will reduce power consumption.
• Close the windows and doors during cooling and heating operations.
SET PROPER AIR FLOW DIRECTION TO OBTAIN THE BEST AIR
CIRCULATION
KEEP FILTER CLEAN TO ENSURE THE MOST EFFICIENT OPERATION
MAKE MOST OF THE TIMER OFF FUNCTION
DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD WHEN THE UNIT IS NOT USED FOR AN
EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME
• The indoor unit still consumes a small amount of power when it is not operating.

The unit will not operate if it is turned on immediately
after it is turned off. The unit will not operate
immediately after the mode is changed. This is to
protect the internal mechanisms. Wait 3 minutes
before operating the unit.
erant flowing inside the unit.
WATER VAPOUR
• In the COOL and DRY operation, water vapour
can sometimes be seen at the air outlet due to
the difference between the room air tempera-
ture and the air discharged by the unit.
• In the HEAT operation, water vapour may flow
out of the outdoor unit during de-icing.
UNIT DOES NOT SEND OUT WARM AIR
The unit is preheating or de-icing.
ODORS
Carpet and furniture odors that entered into the
unit and the air conditioner's inner component
odors at the early stage of installation may be sent
out from the unit.
THE OUTDOOR UNIT DOES NOT
STOP
After stopping the operation, the outdoor unit will
rotate its fan for about a minute to cool down the
unit.
CRACKING NOISE
The unit may produce a cracking noise. This sound
is generated by the friction of the front panel and
other components expanding or connecting due to a
temperature change.
ODOR EMITTED FROM THE
PLASMACLUSTER AIR OUTLET
This is the smell of ozone generated from the
Plasmacluster ion generator. The ozone concen-
tration is very small, posing no adverse effect on
your health. The ozone discharged into the air
rapidly decomposes, and its density in the room
will not increase.
A LOW BUZZING NOISE EMITTED
This is a sound emitted when the unit is generating
Plasmacluster ions.
If the unit appears to be malfunctioning, check the following points before calling for
service.
IF THE UNIT FAILS TO OPERATE
Check to see if the circuit breaker has tripped or the fuse has blown.
IF THE UNIT FAILS TO COOL (OR HEAT) THE ROOM EFFECTIVELY
Check the outdoor unit to make
sure nothing is blocking the air in-
let or outlet.
Check the thermostat is proper
setting.
Check the filters. If dirty, clean
them.
Make sure windows and doors
are closed tightly.
A large number of people in the
room can prevent the unit from
achieving the desired tempera-
ture.
Check whether any heat-gen-
erating appliances are operat-
ing in the room.
IF THE UNIT FAILS TO RECEIVE THE REMOTE CONTROL SIGNAL
Check whether the remote con-
trol batteries have become old
and weak.
Try to send the signal again with
the remote control pointed prop-
erly towards the unit’s signal re-
ceiver window.
Check whether the remote con-
trol batteries are installed with
the polarities properly aligned.
Please call for service when OPERATION Lamp and TIMER Lamp on the indicator panel blink.
