PRECAUTIONS DURING OPERATION

The product shall be operated under the manufacturer specification and

not for any other intended use.

Do not attempt to operate the unit with wet hands, this could cause fatal

accident.

When operating the unit with burning equipments, regularly ventilate the

room to avoid oxygen insufficiency.

Do not direct the cool air coming out from the air-conditioner panel to face

household heating apparatus as this may affect the working of apparatus

such as the electric kettle, oven etc.

Please ensure that outdoor mounting frame is always stable, firm and

without defect. If not, the outdoor unit may collapse and cause danger.

Do not splash or direct water to the body of the unit when cleaning it as this

may cause short circuit.

Do not use any aerosol or hair sprays near the indoor unit. This chemical

can adhere on heat exchanger fin and blocked the evaporation water flow

to drain pan. The water will drop on tangential fan and cause water splashing

out from indoor unit.

Please switch off the unit and turn off the circuit breaker during cleaning, the

high-speed fan inside the unit may cause danger.

Turn off the circuit breaker if the unit is not to be operated for a long period.

Do not climb on the outdoor unit or put objects on it.

Do not put water container (like vase) on the indoor unit to avoid water

dripping into the unit. Dripping water will damage the insulator inside the unit

and causes short-circuit.

Do not place plants directly under the air flow as it is bad for the plants.

When operating the unit with the door and windows opened, (the room humidity is always above

80%) and with the air deflector facing down or moving automatically for a long period of time,

water will condense on the air deflector and drips down occasionally. This will wet your furniture.

Therefore, do not operate under such condition for a long time.

If the amount of heat in the room is above the cooling or heating capability of the unit (for

example: more people entering the room, using heating equipments and etc.), the preset room

temperature cannot be achieved.

THE IDEAL WAYS OF OPERATION

Suitable Room Temperature

Install curtain or blinds

Warning

Freezing temperature

is bad for health and a

waste of electric power.

It is possible to

reduce heat

entering the

room through

windows.

Ventilation

Effective Usage Of Timer

At night, please use the “OFF or ON timer

operation mode”, together with your wake up

time in the morning. This will enable you to

enjoy a comfortable room temperature. Please

use the timer effectively.

Caution

Do not close the room for a long period of

time. Occasionally open the door and windows

to allow the

entrance of

fresh air.

Do Not Forget To Clean The Air Filter

Please Adjust Suitable Temperature

For Baby And Children

Dusty air filter will reduce the air volume and

the cooling efficiency. To prevent from wasting

electric energy, please clean the filter every 2

weeks.

Please pay attention to the room temperature

and air flow direction when operating the unit

for baby, children and old folks who have

difficulty in movement.

FOR USER’S INFORMATION

The Air Conditioner And The Heat Source In The Room

Caution

If the amount of heat in the room is above the cooling

capability of the air conditioner (for example: more

people entering the room, using heating equipments

and etc.), the preset room temperature cannot be

achieved.

Not Operating For A Long Time

When the indoor unit is not to be used for a long

period of time, please switch off the power from the

mains. If the power from mains remains “ON”, the

indoor unit still consumes about 8W in the operation

control circuit even if it is in “OFF” mode.

OFF

When Lightning Occurs

Warning

To protect the whole unit during lightning, please

stop operating the unit and remove the plug from the

socket.

UV-LED

UV-LED will be “ON” when the START/STOP button is pressed except for FAN only operation. During

selected operation, this UV-LED will be “ON” and “OFF”. Light UV glare is visible when the UV-LED

is “ON” and this is normal (not malfunction).

Interference From Electrical Products

ATTACHING THE AIR CLEANSING AND DEODORIZING FILTERS

CAUTION

Cleaning and maintenance must be carried out only by qualified service personal. Before cleaning,

stop operation and switch off the power supply.

Open the front panel.

G Pull up the front panel by holding it at both sides

with both hands.

Remove the filter.

G Push upward to release the claws and pull out the

filter.

Attaching the air cleansing and deodorizing filters

to the filter.

G Attach the air cleansing and deodorizing filters to

the frame by gently compress its both sides and

release after insertion into filter frame.

Claws

(4 places)

CAUTION

Do not bend the air cleansing

and deodorizing filter as it may

cause damage to the structure.

Attach the filters.

G Attach the filters by ensuring that the surface written

“FRONT” is facing front.

G After attaching the filters, push the front panel at

three arrow portion as shown in figure and close it.

NOTE

G In case of removing the air cleansing and deodorizing filters, please follow the above procedures.

G The cooling capacity is slightly weakened and the cooling speed becomes slower when the air cleansing

and deodorizing filters are used. So, set the fan speed to "HIGH" when using it in this condition.

G Air cleansing and deodorizing filters are washable and reusable up to 20 times by using vacuum cleaner

or water rinse under running tap water. Type number for this air cleansing filter is <SPX-CFH5>. Please

use this number for ordering when you want to renew it.

G Do not operate the air conditioner without filter. Dust may enter the air conditioner and fault may occur.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION

Cleaning and maintenance must be carried out only by qualified service personal. Before cleaning,

stop operation and switch off the power supply.

1. AIR FILTER

Clean the air filter, as it removes dust inside the room. In case the air filter is full of dust, the air flow

will decrease and the cooling capacity will be reduced. Further, noise may occur. Be sure to clean the

filter following the procedure below.

PROCEDURE

Open the front panel and remove the filter

G Gently lift and remove the air cleansing and

deodorizing filter from the air filter frame.

Vacuum dust from the air filter and air cleansing

and deodorizing filter using vacuum cleaner. If

there is too much dust, rinse under running tap

water and gently brush it with soft bristle brush.

Allow filters to dry in shade.

G Re-insert the air cleansing and deodorizing

filter to the filter frame. Set the filter with

“FRONT” mark facing front, and slot them into

the original state.

G After attaching the filters, push the front panel

at three arrow portions as shown in figure

and close it.

NOTE:

G Air cleansing and deodorizing filter should be cleaned every month or sooner if noticeable loading

occurs. When used overtime, it may loose its deodorizing function. For maximum performance, it is

recommended to replace it every 3-6 months depending on application requirements.

CAUTION

G Do not wash with hot water at more than 40°C. The filter may shrink.

G When washing it, shake off moisture completely and dry it in the shade; do not expose it directly to

the sun. The filter may shrink.

G Do not use detergent on the air cleansing and deodorizing filter as some detergent may deteriorate

the filter electrostatic performance.

2. Washable Front Panel

G Remove the front panel and wash with clean

water.

Wash it with a soft sponge.

After using neutral detergent, wash thoroughly

with clean water.

G When front panel is not removed, wipe it with

a soft dry cloth. Wipe the remote controller

thoroughly with a soft dry cloth.

G Wipe the water thoroughly.

If water remains at indicators or signal

receiver of indoor unit, it causes trouble.

Method of removing the front panel.

Notes

G In quiet operation or stopping the operation, the following phenomena

may occassionally occur, but they are not abnormal for the operation.

(1) Slight flowing noise of refrigerant in the refrigerating cycle.

(2) Slight rubbing noise from the fan casing which is cooled and then

gradually warmed as operation stops.

G The odor will possibly be emitted from the room air conditioner because

the various odor, emitted by smoke, foodstuffs, cosmetics and so on,

sticks to it. So the air filter and the evaporator regularly must be cleaned

to reduce the odor.

Please contact your sales agent immediately if the air conditioner still fails to operate normally after the above

inspections. Inform your agent of the model of your unit, production number, date of installation. Please also

inform him regarding the fault.

Power supply shall be connected at the rated voltage, otherwise the unit will be broken or could not reach the
