1. PREFACE

This

SERVICE MANUAL provides various service information, including the mechanical and electrical

parts etc. This room air conditioner was manufactured and assembled under a strict quality control system. The refrigerant is charged at the factory. Be sure to read the safety precautions prior to servicing the unit.

1.1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. When servicing the unit, set the ROTARY SWITCH or POWER SWITCH to OFF and unplug the power cord.

2. Observe the original lead dress. If a short circuit is found, replace all parts which have been overheated or damaged by the short circuit.

3. After servicing the unit, make an insulation resistance test to protect the customer from being exposed to shock hazards.

1.2

INSULATION RESISTANCE TEST

1.Unplug the power cord and connect a jumper between 2 pins (black and white).

2. The grounding conductor (green) is to be open.

3. Measure the resistance value with an ohm meter between the jumpered lead and each exposed metallic part on the equipment at all the positions (except OFF) of the ROTARY SWITCH.

4. The value should be over 1MΩ.

1.4 FEATURES

• Designed for COOLING ONLY.

• Powerful and whispering cooling.

• Slide-in and slide-out chassis for the simple installation and service.

• Side air-intake, side cooled-air discharge.

1.5 CONTROL LOCATIONS

1.5.1 COOLING ONLY MODEL

• VENTILATION

The ventilation lever must be in the CLOSE position in order to maintain the best cooling conditions. When a fresh air is necessary in the room, set the ventilation lever OPEN position. The damper is opened and room air is exhausted.

• THERMOSTAT

Thermostat will automatically control the temperature of the room. Select a higher number (the right side of arc) for a cooler temperature in the room. The temperature is selected by positioning the knob to the desired position. The 5 or 6 position (the middle position of arc) is a normal setting for average conditions.

• OPERATION

OFF : Turns the air conditioner to off. MED FAN : Permits the medium fan speed

operation without cooling.

LOW FAN : Permits the low fan speed operation

without cooling.

HIGH COOL : Permits cooling with the high fan speed

operation.

MED COOL : Permits cooling with the medium fan

speed operation.

LOW COOL : Permits cooling with the low fan speed

operation.

• Built-in adjustable THERMOSTAT

• Washable one-touch filter

• Compact size

• Reliable and efficient rotary compressor is equipped.
