SAFETY PRECAUTION

●

Please read the “Safety Precaution” carefully before operating the unit to ensure correct usage of the unit.

●

Pay special attention to signs of “ Warning” and “ Caution”. The “Warning” section contains matters which, if not observed strictly, may cause death or serious injury. The “Caution” section contains matters which may result in serious consequences if not observed properly. Please observe all instructions strictly to ensure safety.

●

The sig

n indicate the following meanings.

!

Make sure to connect earth line.

Indicates the instructions that must be followed.

●

Please keep this manual after reading.

PRECAUTIONS DURING INSTALLATION

● Do not reconstruct the unit.

Water leakage, fault, short circuit or ﬁ re may occur if you reconstruct the

unit by yourself.

!

WARNING

!

CAUTION

● Please ask your sales agent or qualiﬁ ed technician for the installation of

your unit. Water leakage, short circuit or ﬁ 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.

● 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 the unit near a location where there is ﬂ ammable gas. The

outdoor unit may catch ﬁ re if ﬂ ammable gas leaks around it.

● Please ensure smooth ﬂ ow of water when installing the drain hose.

The sign in the ﬁ gure indicates prohibition.

and turn off the circuit breaker. Contact your agent. Fault, short circuit or ﬁ re may occur if you continue to operate the unit under abnormal situation.

● Please contact your agent for maintenance. Improper self maintenance may cause

electric shock and ﬁ re.

● Please contact your agent if you need to remove and reinstall the unit. Electric

shock or ﬁ re may occur if you remove and reinstall the unit yourself improperly.

● If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the special cord obtainable

at authorized service/parts centers.

PRECAUTIONS DURING OPERATION

!

● Avoid an extended period of direct air ﬂ ow for your health.

● Do not insert a ﬁ 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.

I

● Do not use any conductor as fuse wire, this could cause fatal accident.

● During thunder storm, disconnect and turn off the circuit breaker.

PRECAUTIONS DURING OPERATION

● The product shall be operated under the manufacturer speciﬁ cation and

not for any other intended use.

● Do not attempt to operate the unit with wet hands, this could cause fatal

ENGLISH

accident.

● When operating the unit with burning equipments, regularly ventilate the

room to avoid oxygen insufﬁ 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.

● Please ensure that outdoor mounting frame is always stable, ﬁ 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.

● Do not use any aerosol or hair sprays near the indoor unit. This chemical

can adhere on heat exchanger ﬁ n and blocked the evaporation water ﬂ ow

!

to drain pan. The water will drop on tangential fan and cause water splashing

out from indoor unit.

C A U

● Please switch off the unit and turn off the circuit breaker during cleaning,

the high-speed fan inside the unit may cause danger.

T

I O N

● Turn off the circuit breaker if the unit is not to be operated for a long period.

● Do not climb on the outdoor unit or put objects on it.

● 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 ﬂ ow as it is bad for the plants.

● When operating the unit with the door and windows opened, (the room humidity is always above

80%) and with the air deﬂ ector facing down or moving automatically for a long period of time, water will condense on the air deﬂ 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 inﬁ 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.

MULTI-AIR CONDITIONER

With this multi-air conditioner, several indoor units can be connected to one outdoor unit to be driven. You can operate the required number of indoor units.

Combination of Operations:

When operation mode is selected:

● You cannot operate the indoor units in the

following combinations.

One unit

Heating

During automatic operation:

● When heating operation is automatically selected for the ﬁ rst indoor unit, the next indoor unit will then start to heat.

Also, if cooling or dehumidifying is automatically selected for the ﬁ rst indoor unit, the next indoor unit will also start to cool or dehumidify.

Other unit

Cooling

Dehumidifying

Circulating (fan)

● The indoor unit which is switched on ﬁ rst continues to

operate, but other indoor units which is switched on later does not operate while the lamp lights.

● To re-start an indoor unit which was operated later, stop

the indoor unit which was operated ﬁ rst or later and reset the type of operation, then perform operation again.

Adjusting the Number of Indoor Units:

Decrease the number of indoor units to be operated especially when it is very hot or cold or when you want to reach the present temperature quickly.

Stopped Indoor Units:

When an indoor unit is operated in the cooling, heating or dehumidifying mode in the room, the sound of refrigerant ﬂ ow may be heard from a stopped indoor unit or a stopped indoor unit may become warm. This is because the indoor unit returns refrigerant to the outdoor unit to be ready for operation.

THE IDEAL WAYS OF OPERATION

Suitable Room Temperature Install curtain or blinds

Warning

!

Freezing temperature is bad for health and a waste of electric power.

It is possible to reduce heat entering the room through windows.

Ventilation Effective Usage Of Timer

Caution

!

Do not close the room for a long period of time. Occasionally open the door and windows to allow the entrance of fresh air.

At night, please use the “OFF or ON timer operation mode”, together with your wake up time in the morning. This will enable you to enjoy a comfortable room temperature. Please use the timer effectively.

ENGLISH

Do Not Forget To Clean The Air Filter

Dusty air ﬁ lter will reduce the air volume and the cooling efﬁ ciency. To prevent from wasting electric energy, please clean the ﬁ lter every 2 weeks.

Please Adjust Suitable Temperature

For Baby And Children

Please pay attention to the room temperature and air ﬂ ow direction when operating the unit for baby, children and old folks who have difﬁ culty in movement.

Caution

!

If the amount of heat in the room is above the cooling capability of the air conditioner (for example: more people entering the room, using heating equipments and etc.), the preset room temperature cannot be achieved.

Not Operating For A Long Time

When the indoor unit is not to be used for a long period of time, please switch off the power from the mains. If the power from mains remains “ON”, the indoor unit still consumes about 8W in the operation control circuit even if it is in “OFF” mode.

When Lightning Occurs

Warning

!

To protect the whole unit during lightning, please stop operating the unit and remove the plug from the socket.
