not detectable by smell.

• Ensure the unit is properly connected to the power. Excess
heat generation caused by incorrect connection may result in
an electric shock or fire.

• Do not operate or stop the unit by switching on or off at the
power source. This may cause an electric shock or fire due to
excess heat generation.

• Do not operate with wet hands or in damp environment. This
may cause an electric shock.

of the horizontal louver should not be set too small, in case the
condensed water forms and drips from the horizontal louvre.

To achieve optimal performance, please note the following:

• Adjust the air ow direction correctly so that it is not towards
people.

• Adjust the temperature to achieve moderate comfort levels.
Excessively low temperature waste energy.

• Improve performance by keeping windows and doors closed.

• Limit energy usage (run time) by using the TIMER function.

• Do not put any object near air inlet or air outlet, as the

efciency of the air conditioner may be reduced and may
cause the air conditioner to stop running.

• Inspect and clean the lters every 3 months or as required.
Ensure that the lters ar
