When using this air conditioner in the European countries, the following informa­tion must be followed:

DISPOSAL: Do not dispose this product as unsorted municipal waste. Collection of

such waste separately for special treatment is necessary.

It is prohibited to dispose of this appliance in domestic household waste.
For disposal, there are several possibilities:
A) The municipality has established collection systems, where electronic waste can be
disposed of at least free of charge to the user.
B) When buying a new product, the retailer will take back the old product at least free
of charge.
C) The manufacture will take back the old appliance for disposal at least free of charge
to the user.
D) As old products contain valuable resources, they can be sold to scrap metal dealers.

Wild disposal of waste in forests and landscapes endangers your health when
hazardous substances leak into the ground-water and find their way into the food chain.

NOTE

The rating data indicated on the energy label is based
on the testing condition of installing the un-extended
air exhaust duct without adaptor A & B (The duct and
the adaptor A & B are listed in the accessories chart
of the Instruction Manual).

the air conditioning/dehumidification process will

immediately stop. However, the fan motor will

continue to operate(this is normal).

Carefully move the unit to a drain location,

remove the bottom drain plug and let the

water drain away(Fig.25). Restart the machine
until the "P1" symbol disappears. If the error

(about 40 C/104 F) with a neutral detergent. Rinse the filter
and dry it in a shady place.

- Mounting
Insert the upper air filter from upward after cleaning, attach
the lower air filter on the air inlet grille, then install the grille
by using the screw.

2. Unit enclosure

- Use a lint-free cloth soaked with neutral detergent to clean
the unit enclosure. Finished by a dry clean cloth.

3. Unit idle for a long time

- Remove the rubber plug at the back of the unit and attach
a hose to drain outlet. Place the open end of the hose

directly over the drain area in your basement floor

(See Fig.23 & 24).

- Remove the plug from the bottom drain outlet, all the water
in the bottom tray would drain out (See Fig.25).

- Keep the appliance running on FAN mode for half a day in
a warm room to dry the appliance inside and prevent mold
forming.

- Stop the appliance and unplug it, wrapped the cord and
bundle it with the tape(Fig.29). Remove the batteries from
the remote controller.

- Clean the air filter and reinstall it.

- Unscrew the exhaust hose to the right or left and pull out
for uninstallation(Fig.30), keep it safety, and cover the
window(wall) hole with the adaptor cap.

SUGGEST REMEDIES

Drain the water in the bottom tray.

Reset the temperature.

Make sure all the windows and

doors are closed.

Remove the heat sources if possible.

Connect the duct and make

sure it can function properly.

Decrease the set temperature.

Clean the air filter.

Place the unit on a flat, level

ground if possible.

It is normal.

Switch on again after the unit
has cool down.

NOTE

The rating data indicated on the energy label is based
on the testing condition of installing the un-extended
air exhaust duct without adaptor A & B (The duct and

block the signals from the remote controller to the indoor unit.
Prevent any liquid from falling into the remote controller. Do not expose
the remote controller to direct sunlight or heat.
If the infrared signal receiver on the indoor unit is exposed to direct
sunlight, the air conditioner may not function properly. Use curtains to
prevent the sunlight from falling on the receiver.
If other electrical appliances react to the remote controller. either move
these appliances or consult your local dealer.

Replacing batteries

The remote controller is powed by two dry
batteries(R03/LR03X2) housed in the rear
part and protected by a cover.
(1) Remove the cover by pressing and sliding off.
(2) Remove the old batteries and insert the new
batteries,placing the(+) and (-) ends correctly.
(3) Reattach the cover by sliding it back into
position.

.
