Operating Condition

Please operate air conditioner in the correct conditions as following.

COOL mode operation

Outdoor temperature should be in range of 18
to 43 , otherwise it is possible for air conditioner
to breakdown.
Room humidity should be lower than 90%.
Otherwise, it is possible for air conditioner to dew
at air conditioner surface and even drop water af­ter running for so much time. But this is normal.

Power requirement

DRY mode operation

Outdoor temperature should be in range of 18 to 43 ,
otherwise it is possible for air conditioner to breakdown.

Rated voltage and voltage range:

The electric components will be damaged when the voltage is too high.

If the voltage is too low, the compressor will vibrate violently to dam­age the refrigerant system and easily cause the compressor and elec­tric components not work.

The ground must be connected.
Special socket must be used. Furthermore, the socket and wiring
must conform to the wiring regulations. And the earthing method
must be reliable.
In fixed circuit, there must be electricity leakage protection switch
of enough power capacity and air switch with enough space.

Location:

The condensation water must be drained away conveniently.

Install air conditioner unit far away from TV set or radio
etc. to avoid disturbing video or voice.

In salt and coastal area or place where is near thermal springs
and polluted by sulphurous gas, or other special areas, please
contact the seller before use.

Avoid a place where is possible for inflammable gas to leak out.

How to install:

Choose a location where there are no any obstacle surrounding

the unit, and the plug is accessible.
Prepare the installation hole slightly bigger than unit size.
Choose the installation space according to the following diagram.

Avoid other heat sources or direct sun light.
Avoid a place where is easy for children to touch.

Don't use the unit in the immediate surrondings of

a laundry,a bath,a shower or a swimming pool.

For window type air conditioner with remote

control, install in a location where is strong elec­tromagnetic disturbance, you should contact the

seller in advance to avoid the malfunction in use.

Drain water:

To get the maximum cooling efficiency, the air conditioner is designed to splash the condensation water on the
condenser coil.

To the cooling only unit,If the splashing sound annoys you, you can provide an outside drain by using the follo

-wing procedure, whichmay however cause a small loss of performance.

1. Slide out the chassis from the cabinet.

2. Remove the rubber plug from the body base plate.

3. Install the drain pan to the corner of the cabinet with 2 screws.

4. Connect the drain hose to the outlet on the drain pan bottom.

contact the seller firstly.
Then it must be done under the direction of the professional
technician. In addition, the charge of this must be paid.

Noise

Install in a location where is firm enough to avoid the enlargement of noise
and vibration.
Don’t put anything in front of the outlet of outdoor unit to avoid increasing
noise.
Be sure that hot air or noise will not inconvenience neighbors.
Please contact the seller as soon as there is strange noise during operation.
Please use the safety support.

Electric wiring

Must connect with ground reliably.

The exclusive circuit must be used. But removable socket can’t be used because poor

contact of it can cause over heat or fire.

Don’t pull the power cord strongly.

In fixed circuit, there must be electricity leakage protection switch and leakage current
is less than 30mA.

Connecting method between air conditioners and power cord and interconnecting method

of each individual element with one another should accord with wiring diagram on the unit.

The air conditioner should be installed in accordance with national wiring regulation.

An all-pole disconnection switch having a contact separation of at least 3mm in all poles
should be connected in fixed wiring

Air switch (thermal-magnetic breaker) should be installed in the circuit.

If the supply cord is damaged,it must be replaced by the manufacturer or your dealer

or a qualified person to avoid a hazard.
All The dectrical work must be done according to the local wiring regulations.

Operation Tips

Operation for comfort and economy

Do not overcool the room
temperature. This is not good

for health and wastes electricity.

Make sure that the doors and win­dows are tightly closed.Avoid open-

ing doors and windows as much as
possible to keep air conditioning in the
room.

Keep blind or curtains closed.
Do not let sunshine enter the
room directly when the air con­dition is in operation.

Clean the air filter regularly.
Blockages in the air filter re­duce dehumidifying effects.
Clean the air filter at least once
every two weeks.

Keep the room temp. uniform.
Adjust the vertical and horizon­tal airflow direction to ensure a
uniform temperature in the room.
Air can’t be discharged to the di­rection of air-in.

V entilate the room occasionally.
Since windows are kept closed, it
is a good idea to open them and
ventilate the room now and then.
When starting the unit, curtains or
windows should be closed to pre­vent the heat/cool leakage.

Caution

Operations for safety and health

1) The plug must be accessible after the appliance is positioned.

2) Do not use this appliance in the laundry.

3) If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacture or its service agent in void of hazard.

Do not pull out the power cord.
Damage to the cord may result
in serious electric shocks.

Select the most appropriate
temperature.
Pay attention to adjust the tempera­ture to suit the conditions.
Rooms occupied by infants,the
elderly, or the sick should be kept at
an appropriate temperature.

Do not use the air conditioner
for other purposes except for
cooling the room.
Do not use the air conditioner
for other purposes such as
drying clothes, preserving
foods, or cultivating
vegetables.

Do not use heating apparatuses in
the vicinity.The air conditioner
plastic parts will melt if exposed to
excessive heat.

Do not block the air intake and
outlet vents
This causes lowered perfor­mance and irregular operation.
Do not insert sticks or other
objects into these vents as it is
dangerous to touch the electric
components and the fan.

Avoid exposing the body directly to
a continuous unidirectional air flow

s

for long periods.
This is not recommended for health
reason.

Always wait at least 3 minutes before switching the
air conditioner on again after you have switched it
off during cooling or heating.

Always wait
at least 3 minutes

unit, in which

there are micro­com p u t er and
cir c ui t p l ate,
they must not be
drenched with
water.

Accident could
happen.

* Check earth wire

Is it broken
or loose?

4. If the filter is very dirty, use a mild household detergent in
the wash water.

Let the filter dry thoroughly before reinstalling it.
If. necessary, please ask the professional personnel to
clean it.

* Check if air inlet and outlet of outdoor unit
are blocked or not.

in bad efficiency.

16

Trouble shooting guide

Please check the following items before asking for repair,it saves your time and
money.

Fault phenomenon Trouble-shooting

* Is there a power failure?

Air conditioner dose not
operate at all.

Cool or heat efficiency is
not good.

* Is the plug out?
* Is power fuse or switch off ?
* Whether the voltage is too high or too low?

* Is air inlet or outlet locking?
* Is there any other heat/cool source in room?
* Are air filters dirty very much?
* Is indoor fan speed set at LOW?

* Maybe the room is too hot/cool when the unit is

started.

Foggy air
flows out.

The air conditioner opera­tion is noisy.

It seems that condensation is leaking from air conditioner.

Air conditioner dose not operate for about 3 minutes when
restart.

* At COOL mode operation, sometimes there is foggy

air flowing out of indoor unit, this is because the room
humid air has been cooling rapidly.

* The unit is normal while the indoor outlet is sending

out some odor, because the inlet air may be mixed
with the smell of furniture and smoke.

* For a noise that sounds like water flowing:

This is the sound of freon flowing inside the air con-

ditioner unit.

* For a noise that sounds like a shower:

This is the sound of the dehumidifying water being
processed inside the air conditioner unit.

* Condensation occurs when the airflow from the air

conditioner cools the warm room air.

* This is to protect the mechanism.
* Wait about three minutes and operation will begin.

17

Immediately stop all operations and plug out, please contact your dealer
in the following situations.

*Operation starts or stops abnormally;
*Power fuse or switch often breaks;
*Carelessly splash water or something into air conditioner;
*Electrical lines are much hot or lines cover breaks;
*Other strange situations.

After service

If your air conditioner has the questions of quality or anything else, please contact

the service center of GREE.
