2. SAFETY INSTRUCTION

2.1 Notes on Operation

• Allow 4 minutes for the compressor

to restart cooling� If you turn the air conditioner off and immediately restart it, allow 4 minutes for the compressor to restart cooling� There is an electronic device in the unit that keeps the compressor turned off for 4 minutes for safety�

• In the event of a power failure during

use, allow 4 minutes before restarting the unit� After power is reinstated, restart the air conditioner� If the power was off for less than four minutes, be sure to wait at least four minutes before restarting the unit� if you restart the air conditioner within four minutes, a protective device in the unit may cause the compressor to shut off� This protective device will prevent cooling for about 5 minutes� Any previous setting will be cancelled and the unit will return to its initial setting�

• When you turn the unit off in cooling

mode, the compressor will shut off immediately and the upper/under fan motor will stop running after 5 seconds; if operate the unit to fan mode from cooling mode, the compressor will shut off immediately and the under fan motor will stop running after 5 seconds; and if operate the unit to heating mode from cooling mode, the compressor will shut off immediately and the under fan motor will stop running after 30 seconds�

• Low temperature operation: Is your

unit freezing up? Freezing may occur

when the unit is set close to 18°C in low ambient temperature conditions, especially at night� In these conditions, a further temperature drop may cause the unit to freeze� Setting the unit to a higher temperature will prevent it from freezing�

• Dehumidication mode increases room temperature� The unit generates heat during dehumidication mode and the room temperature will rise� Warm air will be blown out from the exhaust air outlet, but this is normal and does not indicate a problem with the unit�

• This air conditioner blows the warm air generated by the unit outside the room via the exhaust hose while in cool mode� In the mean time, the same amount of air will enter the room from outside through any openings of the room�

• Any person who is involved with working on or breaking into a refrigerant circuit should hold a current valid certicate from an industry-accredited assessment authority, which authorises their competence to handle refrigerants safely in accordance with an industry recognised assessment specication�

• Servicing shall only be performed as recommended by the equipment manufacturer� Maintenance and repair requiring the assistance of other skilled personnel shall be carried out under the supervision of the person competent in the use of ammable refrigerants�

• The working temperature range of the air conditioner is 5-43

C (41-109oF)�
