!
Do not insert a  nger, a rod or other objects into the air outlet or inlet. As the fan is rotating at a high speed, it will cause injury. Before cleaning, be sure to stop the operation and turn the breaker OFF.
During thunder storm, disconnect and turn off the circuit breaker.
Do not use any conductor as fuse wire, this could cause fatal accident.
Spray cans and other combustibles should not be located within a meter of the air outlets of both indoor and outdoor units.
As a spray can’s internal pressure can be increased by hot air, a rupture may result.
WARNING
PRECAUTIONS DURING INSTALLATION
Do not reconstruct the unit.
Water leakage, fault, short circuit or  re may occur if you reconstruct the unit by yourself.
Please ask your sales agent or quali ed technician for the installation of your unit. Water
leakage, short circuit or  re may occur if you install the unit by yourself.
Please use earth line.
Do not place the earth line near water or gas pipes, lightning-conductor, or the earth
line of telephone. Improper installation of earth line may cause electric shock or  re.
A circuit breaker should be installed depending on the mounting site of the unit. Without
a circuit breaker, the danger of electric shock exists.
Do not install near location where there is  ammable gas. The outdoor unit may catch
 re if  ammable gas leaks around it.
Please ensure smooth  ow of water when installing the drain hose.
Do not install the indoor unit in a machine shop or kitchen where vapor from oil or its
mist  ows to the indoor unit. The oil will deposit on the heat exchanger, thereby reducing the indoor unit performance and may deform and in the worst case, breake the plastic parts of the indoor unit.

PRECAUTIONS DURING OPERATION
Do not attempt to operate the unit with wet hands, this could cause fatal
accident.
When operating the unit with burning equipments, regularly ventilate the
room to avoid oxygen insuf ciency.
Do not direct the cool air coming out from the air-conditioner panel to face
household heating apparatus as this may affect the working of apparatus such as the electric kettle, oven etc.
Do not use any aerosol or hair sprays near the indoor unit. This chemical
can adhere on heat exchanger  n and blocked the evaporation water  ow to drain pan. The water will drop on tangential fan and cause water splashing
out from indoor unit.
Please ensure that outdoor mounting frame is always stable,  rm and
without defect. If not, the outdoor unit may collapse and cause danger.
Do not splash or direct water to the body of the unit when cleaning it as
this may cause short circuit.
When operating the unit with the door and windows opened, (the room humidity is always above
80%) and with the air de ector facing down or moving automatically for a long period of time, water will condense on the air de ector and drips down occasionally. This will wet your furniture. Therefore, do not operate under such condition for a long time.
If the amount of heat in the room is above the cooling or heating capability of the unit (for
example: more people entering the room, using heating equipments and etc.), the preset room temperature cannot be achieved.
This appliance is not intended for use by young children or in rm persons unless they have been adequately supervised by a responsible person to ensure that they can use the appliance safely.
Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Do not climb on the outdoor unit or put objects on it.
Please switch off the unit and turn off the circuit breaker during cleaning,
the high-speed fan inside the unit may cause danger.
Turn off the circuit breaker if the unit is not to be operated for a long period.
C A U T
I O N
!
The product shall be operated under the manufacturer speci cation and
not for any other intended use.
Do not put water container (like vase) on the indoor unit to avoid water
dripping into the unit. Dripping water will damage the insulator inside the unit and causes short-circuit.
Do not place plants directly under the air  ow as it is bad for the plants.

AUTOMATIC OPERATION
The device will automatically determine the mode of operation, HEAT or COOL depending on the current room temperature. The selected mode of operation will change when the room temperature varies.
VARIOUS FUNCTIONS
Auto Restart Control
If there is a power failure, operation will be automatically restarted when the power is resumed with previous operation mode
and air ow direction.
(As the operation is not stopped by remote controller.)
If you intend not to continue the operation when the power is resumed, switch off the power supply.
When you switch on the circuit breaker, the operation will be automatically restarted with previous operation mode and air ow
direction.
Note: 1. If you do not require Auto Restart Control, please consult your sales agent or OFF by remote control.
2. Auto Restart Control is not available when Timer or Sleep Timer mode is set.
As the settings are stored in memory in the remote controller, you only
have to press the (START/STOP) button next time.
Press the FUNCTION selector so that the display indicates the (AUTO) mode of operation.
When AUTO has been selected, the device will automatically determine the mode of operation, HEAT, COOL or DEHUMIDIFY depending on the current room temperature. However the mode of operation will not change when indoor unit connected to multi type outdoor unit.
If the mode automatically selected by the unit is not satisfactory, manually change the mode setting (heat, dehumidify, cool or fan).
Press the (START/STOP) button. Operation starts with a beep. Press the button again to stop operation.
You can raise or lower the temperature setting as necessary by maximum of 3°C.
Press the temperature button and the temperature setting will change by 1°C each time.
The preset temperature and the actual room temperature may vary somewhat depending on conditions.
The display does not indicate the preset temperature in the AUTO mode. If you change the setting, the indoor unit will produce a beep.

Defrosting
Defrosting will be performed about once an hour when frost forms on the heat exchange of the outdoor unit, for 5~10 minutes each time. During defrosting operation, the operation lamp blinks in cycle of 3 seconds on and 0.5 second off. The maximum time for defrosting is 20 minutes. However, if it is connected to multi type outdoor unit, the maximum time for defrosting is 15 minutes. (If the piping length used is longer than usual, frost will likely to form.)
