For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Use this equipment onlg for its intended purpose as described in this Owner's

Manual.

This sgstem must be properlg installed

in accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is used.

@All wiring should be rated appropriate for

the current value listed on the rating plate. Use onlg copper wiring.

shock. Can cause injurg or death: Disconnect all remote electric power supplies before

servicing.

WARN!NG!Riskof electric

shock. Can cause injurg or death: Repair or replace immediatelg all electrical wiring that has become fraged or otherwise damaged. Do not use wiring that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end.

All electrical work must be completed bg a

WARNING!Riskof fire.Can

cause injurg or death: Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other

flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinitg

of this or ang other appliance.

For any service which requires entry into the refrigerant sealed system, Federal regulations require the work be performed by a technician having

a Class II or Universal certification.

All air conditioners contain refrigerants, which under federal law must be removed

prior to product disposal. If gou are getting rid of an old product with refrigerants, check

with the compang handling disposal.

R/410Aair conditioning sgstems require contractors and technicians to use tools, equipment and safetg standards approved

for use with this refrigerant. DO NOT use

equipment certified for R22 refrigerant onlg.

AUTO--In this mode, the unit automatica% controls the room temperature within the

range of 77°F and 68°F. The fan will run continuously while the unit is in AUTOmode.

When the room temperature exceeds 77°F,the unit will go into COOLMode. When the room

temperature drops to 73°F,the fan will continue to run but COOLMode will turn off.

When the temperature drops below 68°F,the unit will go into HEATMode. When the

temperature reaches 73°F,the fan will continue to run but HEATMode turns off.

NOTE:This temperature range setting cannot be adjusted and will not be displaged.

¢_ COOL--Use to cool the room to the desired

temperature set between 61°F and 86°F.

NOTE:The unit will not provide optimum

cooling if the outside temperature is below 60°F. Under certain conditions, the unit mag

activate the antifreeze protection cgcle for approximatelg 5 minutes to remove ice from

Installation Instructions

Read these instructions completely and carefully; then follow step by step.

SELECT THE BEST LOCATION

r_ INDOOR UNIT

• Do not allow ang heat or steam near the unit.

• Select a location where there are no obstacles in front of the unit.

• Make sure that condensate drainage can be convenientlg routed awag.

• Do not install near a doorwag.

• Ensure that the space around the left and right of the unit is more than 6". The unit should be

installed as high on the wall as possible, allowing a minimum of 6" from ceiling.

• Use a stud finder to locate studs for mounting and to prevent unnecessarg damage to the wall.

• Install on studs and in a location from which the condensation water can be drained out

convenientlg and that permits easg connection with the outdoor unit.

• Do not cover the inlet and outlet so that the outflow air can reach all parts of the room.

• Install in a location that is strong enough to withstand the full weight and vibration of the unit.

• Be sure that the installation conforms to the installation dimension diagram.

• Leave enough space to allow access for routine maintenance. The height of the installed location should be 79" or more awag from the floor.

• Install in a location that is 3 ft. or more awag from other electrical appliances, such as televisions and

audio devices.

• Select a location that gives gou easg access to remove and clean the filter.

_-_ TEST OPERATION AND CHECK AFTER INSTALLATION

Test operation

1. Before test operation

• Do not switch on power before installation is finished completely.

• Electrical wiring must be connected correctly and securely.

• Shut-off valves of the connection tubes should be opened.

• All impurities such us scraps and particulates must be cleared from the unit.

2. Test operation method

• Switch on power and press the ON/OFF pod on the remote control to turn on the air conditioner.

• Press the MODE pad and check the operation conditions of each of the modes. i0,000 and 14,000 BTU models onlg:

• If the remote control is lost, the emergency run operation can be performed with a ballpoint pen or similar object.

a. When the unit is off, set the handling switch to the AUTO mode.

The unit will then automatically run in the mode selected by the microcomputer system according to the surrounding temperature. If you want to turn the unit off, press the

handling switch again.

b. When the unit is on, set the handling switch to the STOP mode to q

turn off the unit.

Installation Checklist

Has the unit been securely installed? If not, the unit may full, shake or make noises. Has the refrigerant leak test been performed? Leakage may cause insufficient cooling capacity. Does the unit drain well? Poor drainage con cause condensation and dripping. Is the voltage correct according to the nameplate? Incorrect voltage may cause electrical malfunction. Diagnostic

information is available for this unit. Contact your service technician. Is the unit properly grounded? A nonsecure ground connection can cause damage. Are the air inlet and outlet completely free of cover? Covering the air inlet or outlet may cause insufficient cooling
