Safety precautions
Prior to Operation
caution
When the air filter is to be removed, do not touch the
metal parts of the unit.
It may cause an injury.
Do not clean the air conditioner with water.
Water may enter the unit and degrade the insulation.
It may cause an electric shock.
Ventilate the room well when used together with
a stove, etc.
An oxygen shor tage may occur.
Do not put a pet or house plant where it will be
exposed to direc t air flow.
This could injure the pet or plant.
Do not use for special purposes.
Do not use this air conditioner to preserve precision
devices, food, pets, plants, and art objects. It may
cause deterioration of quality, etc.
Stop operation and close the window in storm
or hurricane.
Operation with windows opened may cause wetting of
indoor and soaking of household furniture.
Hold the plug by the head of the power plug when
taking it out.
It may cause electric shock and damage.
Turn off the main power switch when not using
the unit for a long time.
It may cause failure of product or fire.
Do not place obstacles around air-inlets or inside
of air-outlet.
It may cause failure of appliance or accident.
Ensure that the installation bracket of the appliance is
not damaged due to prolonged exposure.
If bracket is damaged, there is concern of damage due
to falling of unit.
Always insert the filters securely. Clean filter once
every two weeks.
Operation without filters may cause failure.
Do not use strong detergent such as wax or
thinner but use a soft cloth.
Appearance may be deteriorated due to change
of product colour or scratching of its surface.
Do not place heavy object on the power cord and
ensure that the cord is not compressed.
There is danger of fire or electric shock.
Preparing for operation
1 Contact an authorised installation specialist for installation.
2 Plug in the power plug properly.
3 Do not use a damaged or non-standard power cord.
4 Do not share the same outlet with other appliances.
5 Do not use an extension cord.
6 Do not start/stop operation by plugging /unplugging
the power cord.
Usage
1 Exposure to direct airflow to occupants, pets or plants
for an extended period of time could be hazardous to
their health.
2 Due to the possibility of oxygen deficiency, ventilate
the room when used together with stoves or other
heating devices.
Cleaning and maintenance
1 Do not touch the metal parts of the unit when removing
the filter. Injuries can occur when handling sharp
metal edges.
2 Do not use water to clean inside the air conditioner.
Exposure to water can destroy the insulation, leading to
possible electric shock.
3 When cleaning the unit, first make sure that the power
and circuit breaker are turned off.

2 Prepare the hole in the wall so that the bottom of
the housing is well supported, the top has minimum
clearance and the air inlet louvers have clearance as
shown below in options A and B. Holes from the outside
through to the cavity should be sealed. The housing
should slope down towards the rear by about 3°~4° to
allow water formed during operation to drain.

Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting Tips
Save time and money! Review the chart below first and you
may not need to call for service.
Normal operation
• You may hear a pinging noise caused by water being
picked up and thrown against the condenser on rainy
days or when the humidity is high. This design feature
helps remove moisture and improve efficiency.
• You may hear the thermostat click when the compressor
cycles on and off.
• Water will collect in the base pan during high humidity or
on rainy days. The water may overflow and drip from the
outdoor side of the unit.
• The fan may continue to operate when the compressor
has cycled off.
