light beside the "MODE" option will illuminate, identifying the mode selected.
- COOL:The range of set temperature is 17℃/62℉~30℃/86℉.Cooling begins automatically when the
room temperature is above the set point,and stops when the room temperature is 2℃(4℉) below the
set point. But the compressor will run 5 minutes at least in COOL mode before stoping. The fan runs
in continuous mode.
- HEAT:The range of set temperature is 17OC/62OF ~29OC/84OF.For heat pump models,the unit can
alternate to run between in reverse cycle heat mode and electric heater mode according to the
difference between the setting temperature and the room temperature.The fan motor cycles on and
off with the compressor and electric heater.
NOTE: The reverse cycle and electric heater can not be run at the same time.

appears in the display.
NOTE:Press and hold and buttons together for 3 seconds will alternate the temperature
display between ℃ & ℉ scale.
FAN (FAN SPEED)
- Every time you push this button,the fan speed cycles through the settings as follows:HIGH-MED LOW-HIGH.

speed. If the DAHT temperature checked is higher than the protection temperature, when the
heater operating, the fan motor will be off automatically.
b. When T1≥Ts+2℉, the heater is off, and the fan motor keeps on working at setting speed. If
the DAHT temperature checked is low than the protection temperature, and the operation
time of fan motor is more than 15 seconds, then the fan motor will be off. If the T2 protection
gets started, the fan motor also does not work.

7 Installation details
7.1 How to install the unit
Dimension of air conditioner
Dimension of sleeve assembly (optional)
13
Page 16
- For existing sleeve, you should measure the
wall sleeve dimensions.
- Install the new air conditioner according to
these installation instructions to achieve the
best performance. All wall sleeves used to
mount the new air conditioner must be in good
structural condition and have a rear grille that
securely attaches to the sleeve or the flange of
the sleeve to secure the new air conditioner.
- To avoid vibration and noise, make sure the
unit is installed securely and firmly.
- When installing the sleeve, make certain there
is nothing within 20 of the back that would
interfere with heat radiation and exhaust air
flow. (See Fig.2)
PREPARATION OF SLEEVE ASSEMBLY
(optional)
- Refer to the installation instruction of sleeve
assembly for details.
UNIT INSTALLATION
- Carefully remove shipping tape from the front
panel. (See Fig.3)
- Remove the front panel. (See Fig.4)
- Remove the shipping screw from the vent
door.(See Fig.5)
14
Page 17
- Rotate the vent control lever to either open or
close the vent door.(See Fig.6)
NOTE: When vent control lever set at CLOSE,
only the air inside the room is circulated and
filtered.
When set at OPEN, some outdoor air will be
drawn into room. This will reduce heating or
cooling efficiency.
- Lift unit level and slide unit into wall sleeve until
firmly against front of wall sleeve and secure with
4 screws and washers (supplied) through the unit
flange holes. (See Fig.7 and Fig.8)
- Reinstall front panel.(See Fig.9)
15
Page 18
CAUTION: UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment damage or improper operation. Airflow
restriction may cause damage to the unit.
CAUTION: UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment damage or improper operation.
Do not operate unit without filters in place. If a filter becomes torn or damaged, it should be
replaced immediately.
Operating without filters in place or with damaged filter will allow dirt and dust to reach indoor
coil and reduce cooling, heating, airflow and efficiency of unit.
Airflow restriction may cause damage to unit.
7.2 Care and cleaning
FRONT PANEL AND CARE
- Turn unit off and disconnect power supply. To clean, use water and a mild detergent. DO NOT use
bleach and abrasive. Some commercial cleaners may damage the plastic parts.
OUTDOOR COIL
- Coil on outdoor side of unit should be checked regularly. Unit will need to be removed to inspect dirt
build-up that will occur on the inside of the coil. If clogged with dirt and soot, coil should be
professionally cleaned. Clean inside and outside of outdoor coils regularly.
NOTE: Never use a high-pressure spray on coil.
AIR FILTERS
IMPORTANT:TURN UNIT OFF BEFORE CLEANING.
- The most important thing you can do to maintain unit efficiency is to clean the filters at least every 30
days (or sooner depending on application). Clogged filters reduce cooling, heating and airflow.
- Keeping filters clean will:
Decrease cost of operation.
Save energy.
16
Page 19
Prevent clogged indoor coil.
Reduce risk of premature component failure.
- To Clean Air Filters:
Vacuum off heavy soil.
Run water through filter.
Dry thoroughly before replacing.
- Removing Air Filter (See.Fig.10)
- Replacing Air Filter (See.Fig.11)
VENT DOOR FILTER
IMPORTANT:TURN UNIT OFF BEFORE
CLEANING.
- Make sure to remove the shipping screw from
the vent door.(See.Fig.5)
- Rotate the vent control lever to open the vent door.
(See. Fig.6)
- Remove four screws from the vent door filter.
(See.Fig.12)
- First pull out the vent door steel wire from the hole
of the vent door, then take off the vent door and
filter. (See.Fig.12)
- Clean the filter. Dry thoroughly before replacing.
- Replace the vent door and filter, reinstall the four screws.
- Reinsert the vent door steel wire into the hole of the vent door.

POSSIBLE CAUSES
Solution
UNIT DOES NOT START
Unit may have become unplugged
Fuse may have blown
Circuit breaker may have been tripped
Unit may be off
Unit may be in a protection mode.
Check that plug is plugged securely in wall receptacle.
Note: Plug has a test/reset button on it. Make sure that the plug has
not tripped.
Replace the fuse. See Note 1.
Reset circuit breaker. See Note 1.
Turn unit on (bottom right button on keypad).
9 Troubleshooting
In general, possible trouble is classified in three kinds. One is called Starting Failure which is
caused from an electrical defect, another is ineffective Air Conditioning caused by a defect in the
refrigeration circuit and improper application, and the other is called the Structure Damage.
19
Page 22
UNIT NOT COOLING/HEATING ROOM
Unit air discharge section is blocked
Temperature setting is not high or low
enough.
Note: Set point limits may not allow
the unit to heat or cool the room to
the temperature desired. Check
section on dip switch settings.
Unit air filters are dirty.
Room is excessively hot or cold when
unit is started.
Vent door left open.
Unit may be in a protection mode.
Compressor is in time delay.
Make sure that curtains, blinds or furniture are not restricting
or blocking unit airflow.
Reset to a lower or higher temperature setting.
Remove and clean filters.
Allow sufficient amount of time for unit to heat or cool the room.
Start heating or cooling early before outdoor temperature, cooking
heat or gatherings of people make room uncomfortable.
Close vent door.
Check dipswitch settings for desired comfort.
Wait approximately 3 minutes for compressor to start.
DISPLAY HAS STRANGE
NUMBERS/CHARACTERS ON IT
The unit may be in a protection mode.
The unit may be set for ℃ (instead of ℉).
UNIT MAKING NOISES
Clicking, gurgling and whooshing noises are normal during
operation of unit.
WATER DRIPPING OUTSIDE
If a drain kit has not been installed, condensation runoff during
very hot and humid weather is normal. See Note 2.
If a drain kit has been installed and is connected to a drain system,
check gaskets and fittings around drain for leaks and plugs.
WATER DRIPPING INSIDE
Wall sleeve is not installed level
Wall sleeve must be installed level for proper drainage of
condensation. Check that installation is level and make any
necessary adjustments.
ICE OR FROST FORMS ON INDOOR COIL
Low outdoor temperature
Dirty filters
When outdoor temperature is approximately 55 ℉ or below, frost
may form on the indoor coil when unit is in Cooling mode. Switch unit
to FAN operation until ice or frost melts.
Remove and clean filters.
COMPRESSOR PROTECTION
Power may have cycled, so
compressor is in a restart protection.
Random Compressor restart-Whenever the unit is plugged in, or
power has been restarted, a random compressor restart will occur.
After a power outage, the compressor will restart after approximately
3 minutes.
Compressor Protection-To prevent short cycling of the compressor,
there is a random startup delay of 3 minutes and a minimum
compressor run time of 3 minutes.
NOTES:
1. If circuit breaker is tripped or fuse is blown more than once, contact a qualified electrician.
2. If unit is installed where condensation drainage could drip in an undesirable location, an accessory drain kit should be
installed and connected to drain system.
