Thank you for purchasing this air conditioner. This manual will provide you with information on how
to operate, maintain, and troubleshoot your air conditioner. Following the instructions will ensure the
proper function and extended lifespan of your unit.
Please pay attention to the following signs:
WARNING
CAUTION
WARNING
• Ask an authorized dealer to install this air
conditioner. Inappropriate installation may
cause water leakage, electric shock, or re.
• The warranty will be voided if the unit is not
installed by professionals.
• If abnormal situation arises (like burning
smell), turn o the power supply and call
your dealer for instructions to avoid electric
shock, re or injury.
•
DO NOT
control get wet. It may cause electric shock
or re.
•
DO NOT

(AUTO mode, AUTO fan, 76°F (24°C)). This
may cause inconsistencies on the remote
control and unit panel. Use your remote
control to update the status.
Auto-Restart (some models)
In case of power failure, the system will
immediately stop. When power returns, the
Operation light on the indoor unit will ash. To
restart the unit, press the ON/OFF button on
the remote control. If the system has an auto
restart function, the unit will restart using the
same settings.
Energy Saving Tips
•
• While cooling, close the curtains to avoid direct sunlight.
• Doors and windows should be kept closed to keep cool or warm air in the room.
•
• Set a timer and use the built-in SLEEP/ECONOMY mode if applicable.
• If you don’t plan to use the unit for a long time, remove the batteries from the remote control.
• Clean the air lter every two weeks.
• Adjust louvers properly and avoid direct airow.

Louver Angle Memory Function (Optional)
Some models are designed with a louver angle
memory function. When the unit restarts after a
power failure, the angle of the horizontal louvers
will automatically return to the previous position.
The angle of the horizontal louver should not be
set too small as condensation may form and drip
into the machine. To reset the louver, press the
manual button, which will reset the horizontal
louver settings.

repair or maintenance. Improper repair and
maintenance may cause water leakage,
electrical shock, or re, and may void your
warranty.
•
DO NOT

may cause circuit damage or an electrical re.
• Make sure the drain hose is set up according
to the instructions. Failure to do so could
cause leakage and result in personal
property damage, re and electric shock.

BEFORE CLEANING OR
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE OR
CLEAN THE FILTER BY YOURSELF
Removing and cleaning the lter can be
dangerous. Removal and maintenance must be
performed by a certied technician.
NOTE: In households with animals, you will
have to periodically wipe down the grille to
prevent animal hair blocking airow.
1. If the unit you purchased is a rear ventilated
one, take o the lter in the directions
indicated by the arrows in the following
diagram.
• Always turn o your air conditioning system
and disconnect the power supply before
cleaning or maintenance.
•
DO NOT
treated cloths to clean the unit.
•
DO NOT
polishing powder or other solvents to clean
the unit. They can cause the plastic surface
to crack or deform.
•
DO NOT
water. Doing so creates an electrical hazard.
•
DO NOT
to clean the front panel. This can cause the
panel to become deformed or discolored.
•
Clean the unit using a damp, lint-free cloth
and neutral detergent. Dry the unit with a
dry, lint-free cloth.
How To Clean The Air Filter
The lter prevents dust and other particles from
entering the indoor unit. Dust buildup can reduce
the eciency of the air conditioner. For optimum
eciency, clean the air lter every two weeks or
more frequently if you live in a dusty area.
Replace the lter with a new one if it’s heavily
clogged and cannot be cleaned.
use chemicals or chemically
use benzene, paint thinner,
wash the unit under running
use water hotter than 104°F(40°C)

2. If the unit you purchased is a descensional
ventilated model, take o the lter in the
directions indicated by the arrows in the
following diagram.
Fig. 4.2
Page 8
3. Remove the air lter.
4. Clean the air lter by vacuuming the surface
or washing it in warm water with mild
detergent.
Repairing Refrigerant Leaks
WARNING
A. If using a vacuum cleaner, the inlet side
should face the vacuum.
Fig. 4.3
B. If using water, the inlet side should face
down and away from the water stream.
• If the refrigerant leaks, turn o the air
conditioner and any combustible heating
devices, ventilate the room and call your
dealer immediately. Refrigerant is both toxic
and ammable.
DO NOT
use the air
conditioner until the leak is repaired.
• When the air conditioner is installed in a
small room, measures must be taken to
prevent the refrigerant concentration from
exceeding the safety limit in the event of
refrigerant leakage. Concentrated
refrigerant causes a severe health and safety
threat.
Refrigerant Leak Detection System (some
models)
• In the event of a refrigerant leak, the LCD
screen will display “EC” and the LED
indicator light will ash.

5. Rinse the lter with clean water and allow
it to air-dry.
DO NOT
let the lter dry in
direct sunlight.
6. Reinstall the lter.
Preparation For Periods Of Non-Use
Maintenance after Extended Non-Use
1. Remove any obstacles blocking the vents of
both the indoor and outdoor units.
2. Clean the air lter and the front grille of the
indoor unit. Reinstall the clean, dry air lter in
its original position.
3. Turn on the main power switch at least 12
hours prior to operating the unit.
Storing the Unit While Not In Use
1. Run the appliance on FAN mode for 12 hours
in a warm room to dry it and prevent mold.
2. Turn o the appliance and unplug it.
3. Clean the air lter according to the
instructions in the previous section. Reinstall
the clean, dry lter before storing.
4. Remove the batteries from the remote control.

Troubleshooting
CAUTIONS
If one of the following conditions occurs, switch o the power supply immediately and contact
your dealer for further assistance.
• The operation light continues to ash rapidly after the unit has been restarted.
• The remote control buttons do not work.
• The unit continually trips fuses or circuit breakers.
• A foreign object or water enters the air conditioner.
• Other abnormal situations.
Common Problems
The following symptoms are not a malfunction and in most situations will not require repairs.

Troubleshooting
Unit does not
turn on when
pressing ON/
OFF button
The unit changes
from COOL mode
to FAN mode
The indoor unit
emits white mist
Both the indoor
and outdoor units
emit white mist
The indoor unit

The unit has a 3-minute protection feature that prevents the unit from
overloading. The unit cannot be restarted within three minutes of being
turned o.
Cooling and Heating Models: If the Operation light and PRE-DEF (Pre-heating/
Defrost) indicators are lit up, the outdoor temperature is too cold and the unit’s
anti-cold wind is activated in order to defrost the unit.
In Cooling-only Models: If the “Fan Only” indicator is lit up, the outdoor
temperature is too cold and the unit’s anti-freeze protection is activated in
order to defrost the unit.
The unit changes its setting to prevent frost from forming on the unit. Once
the temperature increases, the unit will start operating again.
The set temperature has been reached, at which point the unit turns o the
compressor. The unit will resume operating when the temperature uctuates
again.
In humid regions, a large temperature dierence between the room’s air and
the conditioned air can cause white mist.
When the unit restarts in HEAT mode after defrosting, white mist may be
emitted due to moisture generated from the defrosting process.
A squeaking sound is heard when the system is OFF or in COOL mode. The
noise is also heard when the drain pump (optional) is in operation.
A squeaking sound may occur after running the unit in HEAT mode due to
expansion and contraction of the unit’s plastic parts.
Both the indoor
unit and outdoor
unit make noises
The outdoor unit
makes noises
Page 10
A low hissing sound may occur during operation. This is normal and is caused
by refrigerant gas owing through both the indoor and outdoor units.
A low hissing sound may be heard when the system starts, has just stopped
running or is defrosting. This noise is normal and is caused by the refrigerant
gas stopping or changing direction.
The unit will make dierent sounds based on its current operating mode.
Problem Possible Causes
Dust is emitted from
either the indoor or
outdoor unit
The unit may accumulate dust during extended periods of non-use, which
will be emitted when the unit is turned on. This can be mitigated by covering
the unit during long periods of inactivity.
The unit may absorb odors from the environment (such as furniture, cooking,

cigarettes, etc.) which will be emitted during operations.
The unit’s lters have become moldy and should be cleaned.
