Electrical Safety
Electrical Safety
• This appliance must be properly grounded. To minimize the risk of electric shock, you must alway plug into a grounded oulet.
• Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from the power plug.
• Attaching the adapter ground terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the cover screw is metal and not insulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded through the house wiring.
• If you have any doubt whether the air conditioner is properly grounded, have the wall receptacle and circuit checked by a qualified electrician.
We strongly discourage the use of an adapter due to potential safety hazards. For temporary connections, use only a genuine adapter, available from most local hardware stores. Ensure that the large slot in the adapter is aligned with the large slot in the receptacle for a proper polarity connection.
To disconnect the power cord from the adapter, use one hand on each to avoid damaging the ground terminal. Avoid frequently unplugging the power cord as this can lead to eventual ground terminal damage.
• Never use the appliance with a broken adapter.
Temporary Use of an Adapter

Maintenance and Service
Indoor Unit
Before performing any maintenance, turn off the main power to the system, disconnect the circuit breaker and unplug the power cord.
Clean the unit with a soft dry cloth. Do not use bleach or abrasives.
Never use any of these
• Water hotter than 40°C(104°F). It may cause deformation and discoloration.
• Volatile substances. They may damage the surface of the air conditioner.
Air Filters
The air filters behind the front panel / grill should be checked and cleaned once in every 2 weeks or more often if necessary. To remove the filters see the self explanatory diagrams for each model type. Clean the filters with a vacuum cleaner or warm soapy water. If dirt is not easily removed, wash with a solution of detergent in luke warm water. Dry well in shade after washing and reinstall the filters back in place.
Deodorizer Filters
Remove the deodorizer filters behind the air filter and expose them in direct sunlight for 2 hours. And then insert these filters into original position.

Do not overcool the room.
This is not healthy and wastes electricity.
Keep blinds or curtains closed.
Do not let direct sunshine enter the room when the air conditioner is in operation.
Keep the room temperature uniform.
Adjust the vertical and horizontal airflow direction to ensure a uniform temperature in the room.
Make sure that the doors and windows are shut tight.
Avoid opening doors and windows as much as possible to keep the cool air in the room.
Clean the air filter regularly.
Blockages in the air filter reduce the airflow and lower cooling and dehumidifying effects. Clean at least once every two weeks.
Ventilate the room occasionally.
Since windows are kept closed, it is a good idea to open them and ventilate the room now and then.
Use high fan speed for effective and fast cooling.
The unit gives its rated cooling capacity when the fan speed is high.

Troubleshooting Tips! Save time and money!
The air conditioner may be operating abnormally when:
Problem
The air conditioner is unplugged.
The fuse is blown/circuit breaker is tripped.
Power failure.
High voltage.
Airflow is restricted.
The air filter is dirty.
The room may have been hot.
Cold air is escaping.
Check the temperature settings.
There might be a heating source in the room.
Air conditioner does not start
Air conditioner does not cool as it should
• Make sure the air conditioner plug is pushed completely into the outlet.
• Check the house fuse/circuit breaker box and replace the fuse or reset the breaker.
• If power failure occurs, turn the mode control to OFF. When power is restored, wait 3 minutes to restart the air conditioner to prevent tripping of the compressor overload.
• If the voltage is unusually very high or low the Circuit Breaker will trip.
• Make sure there are no curtains, blinds, or furniture blocking the front of the air conditioner.
• Clean the filter at least every 2 weeks. See the Maintenance and Service section.
• When the air conditioner is first turned on, you need to allow time for the room to cool down.
• Check for open furnace floor registers and cold air returns.
• Make sure they are correct.
• Check and remove such source or turn it off while using the air conditioner.
What To DoPossible Causes
1. Anything abnormal such as burning smell, loud noise etc. happens. Stop the unit and turn the breaker off. Never try to repair by yourself or restart the system in such cases.
2. Main power cord is too hot or damaged.
3. Error code is generated by self diagnosis.
4. Water leaks from indoor unit even if the humidity is low.
5. Any switch, breaker (safety, ground) or fuse fails to work properly
User must carry routine checkup & cleaning to avoid poor performance. Any other types of service must be carried out by service person only.
