TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY

Here are some tips that will help you minimize the power consumption when you use the air
conditioner. You can use your air conditioner more efficiently by referring to the instructions
below:

• Do not cool excessively indoors. This may be harmful for your health and may consume more elec­tricity.

• Block sunlight with blinds or curtains while you are operating the air conditioner.

• Keep doors or windows closed tightly while you are operating the air conditioner.

• Adjust the direction of the air flow vertically or horizontally to circulate indoor air.

• Speed up the fan to cool or warm indoor air quickly, in a short period of time.

• Open windows regularly for ventilation as the indoor air quality may deteriorate if the air condi­tioner is used for many hours.

• Clean the air filter once every 2 weeks. Dust and impurities collected in the air filter may block the
air flow or weaken the cooling / dehumidifying functions.

• Do not turn on/off the air conditioner frequently. For inverter product, the air conditioner reduces
the operating frequency to run super energy saver mode, as it gets closer to the set temperature.
Therefore turning the product on/off can lead to higher electricity bill.

• Using the fan together with the air conditioner can keep the space cool as setting the air condi­tioner to high speed and also save on the electricity bill.

• Install the product where there is no heating device or obstacle that interferes with the product.

• If the product is not used for a long period of time, unplug the power. This can save unnecessary
electricity and improve safety against natural disaster such as lightning strike and flooding by block­ing the electricity that flows to the outdoor unit.

Operation

• Do not let the air conditioner run for a long time when the humidity is very high or when a door or
window has been left open. Failure to do so may result in product failure.

• Make sure that the power cord is not pulled or damaged while the air conditioner is operating. Fail­ure to do so may result in fire, electric shock, or product failure.

• Do not place any objects on the power cord. It may result in electric shock or product failure.

• Do not turn on or off the air conditioner by plugging in or unplugging the power plug. It may result in
fire or electric shock.

• Do not touch, operate or repair the air conditioner with wet hands. It may result in electric shock or
product failure.

• Do not place a heater or other heating appliances near the power cable. It may result in fire, electric
shock, or product failure.

• Do not allow water to run into the air conditioner. It may result in explosion or fire.

• Do not leave flammable substances such as gasoline, benzene and thinner near the air conditioner.
It may result in explosion or fire.

• Do not use the air conditioner for an extended period of time in a small place without ventilation.
Ventilate the place regularly. Failure to do so may result in explosion or fire.

• When there is a gas leak, ventilate sufficiently before using the air conditioner again. Failure to do so
may result in explosion or fire.

• Unplug the power plug if there is a noise, smell or smoke coming from the air conditioner. Failure to
do so may result in explosion or fire.

• Stop operating and close the window in strom or hurricane.If possible remove the product from the
window before hurricane arrives

• Contact an authorized service center when the air conditioner is submerged into water due to flood­ing. Failure to do so may result in explosion or fire.

• Be cautious water could not enter the product

• Make sure to ventilate sufficiently when this air conditioner and a heating appliance such as a heater
are used simultaneously. Failure to do so may result in fire, serious injury, or product failure.

• Turn the main power off and unplug the power plug when you clean or repair or are serviced the air
conditioner. Failure to do so may result in death, serious injury, or product failure.

• Unplug the power plug when the air conditioner is not used for an extended period of time. Failure
to do so may result in product failure.

• Do not place any objects on the air conditioner. It may result in product failure.

• For inner cleaning, contact an Authorized Service Center or a dealer. Do not use harsh detergent
that causes corrosion or damage on the unit. Harsh detergent may also cause failure of product, fire,
