1. GENERAL INFORMATION
PRECAUTIONS
Installing and servicing of air conditioning equipment can be hazardous due to system
pressure and electrical components. Only trained and qualified service personnel should
install or service this equipment.
Untrained personnel can perform basic maintenance function such as cleaning coil and
filters. Trained service personnel should perform all other operations.
When working on air conditioning equipment, observe precautions in the literature, tags
and labels attached to the unit.
WARNINGS
• The operating voltage of electrical power supply should be within the voltage mentioned on unit
nameplate data.
• The capacity of electrical kWh counter should be larger than the operating currents required for
air conditioner(s) and any other electrical domestic appliances in use simultaneously from the
same supply.
• The installation of electrical distribution box after the electrical KWH counter is necessary to
properly distribute the electrical loads. The electrical distribution box should be equipped with
circuit breakers according to the electrical loads. For each installed air conditioner, a separate
circuit breaker with its own overload should be installed on the electrical distribution box.
• The installation of two-pole automatic circuit breaker is necessary to operate the air conditioner.
The circuit breaker must be installed to be far away from any flammable materials (curtains…etc.).
The circuit breaker size must be suitable for air conditioner.
• Disconnect the electrical mains supply prior to any maintenance operations or prior to handling
any internal unit parts.

waste energy.
COOL mode HEAT mode
In Winter
• Keep room temperature to comfort levels.
• Don’t remain in direct contact
with warm air for a long period.
This is harmful to health.
• Don’t wait until it is too cold.
Turn the air conditioner for heating before that.
• Don’t exaggerate on the temperature intensity, too hot.
Extreme temperatures are harmful to your health and
waste energy.
Keep doors, windows and any other openings closed to
prevent the conditioned air from escaping and to prevent
un conditioned air from entering the space to be air
conditioned.
When in cooling, avoid direct sun in the room to be air-
conditioned, if possible shut curtains or shades.
Keep doors, furniture or any other obstructions away from
blocking return air and / or supply air of the indoor unit to
assure maximum efficiency and adequate air circulation.
Use SLEEP function during sleep for energy
saving, comfortable and healthy sleep during cool
mode or heat mode.
