2 TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY

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.

	4	IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
<![if ! IE]> <![endif]>ENGLISH	• Use the correctly rated breaker or fuse. There is risk of fire or
	electric shock.
	• Do not modify or extend the power cable. If the power cable or
	cord has scrathes or skin peeled off or deteriorated then it must
	be replaced. There is risk of fire or electric shock.
	• For installation, removal or reinstall, always contact the dealer
	or an Authorized Service Center. There is risk of fire, electric

	sure that the installation area does not deteriorate with age. It
	may cause product to fall.
	• Never install the outdoor unit on a moving base or a place from
	where it can fall down.
	The falling outdoor unit can cause damage or injury or even
	death of a person.
	• When the product is soaked (flooded or submerged) in water,
	contact an Authorized Service Center for repair before using it
	again. There is risk of fire or eletric shock.
	• Be sure to check the refrigerant to the used. Please read the
	label on the product. Incorrect refrigerant used can prevent the
	normal operation of the unit.
	• Don't use a power cord, a plug or a loose socket which is
	damaged. Otherwise it may cause a fire or electrical shock.
	• Do not touch, operate, or repair the product with wet hands.
	Hold the plug by hand when taking out. There is risk of electric
	shock or fire.
	• Do not place a heater or other heating appliances near the

Perform ventilation regularly. Oxygen deficiency could occur
and hence harm your health.
• Do not open the front grille of the product during operation. (Do
not touch the electrostatic filter, if the unit is so equipped.)
There is risk of physical injury, electric shock, or product failure.
• If strange sounds, smell or smoke comes from product.
Immediately turn the breaker off or disconnect the power supply
cable. There is risk of electric shock or fire.
• Ventilate the product room from time to time when operating it
together with a stove, or heating element etc. Oxygen
deficiency can occur and hence harm your health.
• Turn the main power off and unplug the unit when cleaning or
repairing the product. There is risk of electric shock.
• When the product is not to be used for a long time, disconnect
the power supply plug or turn off the breaker. There is risk of

	test or air purge. Do not compress air or Oxygen and Do not
	use Flammable gases.
	Otherwise, it may cause fire or explosion. There is the risk of
	death, injury, fire or explosion.
	• The appliance shall be stored in a room without continuously
	operating ignition sources (for example : open flames, an
	operating gas appliance or an operating electric heater.)
	• Keep any required ventilation openings clear of obstruction.
	• The appliance shall be stored in a well-ventilated area where
	the room size corresponds to the room area as specified for
	operation. (for R32)

	source. (for R32)

! CAUTION

• Two or more people must lift and transport the product. Avoid personal injury.

• Do not install the product where it will be exposed to sea wind (salt spray) directly. It may cause corrosion on the product.

• Install the drain hose to ensure that the condensed water is drained away properly. A bad connection may cause water leakage.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS	7
• Keep level even when installing the product. To avoid vibration		<![if ! IE]> <![endif]>ENGLISH
or noise.
• Do not install the product where the noise or hot air from the
outdoor unit could damage or disturb the neighborhoods. It may
cause a problem for your neighbors and hence dispute.
• Always check for gas (refrigerant) leakage after installation or
repair of product. Low refrigerant levels may cause failure of
product.
• Do not use the product for special purposes, such as
preserving foods, works of art, etc. It is a consumer air
conditioner, not a precision refrigeration system. There is risk of
damage or loss of property.
• Do not block the inlet or outlet of air flow. It may cause product
failure.

reduces the efficiency.
• Do not insert hands or other objects through the air inlet or
outlet while the product is operating. There are sharp and
moving parts that could cause personal injury.
• Be cautious when unpacking and installing the product. Sharp
edges could cause injury.
• If the refrigerant gas leaks during the repair, do not touch the
leakaing refrigerant gas. The refrigernat gas can cause frostbite
(cold burn)
• Do not tilt the unit when removing or uninstalling it. The
condensed water inside can spill.
• Do not mix air or gas other than the specified refrigerant used in
the system. If air enters the refrigerant system, an excessively
high pressure results, causing equipment damage or injury.

	8	IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
<![if ! IE]> <![endif]>ENGLISH	• If the refrigerant gas leaks during the installation, ventilate the
	area immediately.
	Otherwise it can be harmfull for your health.
	• Dismantling the unit, treatment of the refrigerant oil and
	eventual parts should be done in accordance with local and
	national standards.
	• Replace the all batteries in the remote control with new ones of
	the same type. Do not mix old and new batteries or different
	types of batteries. There is risk of fire or product failure.

BEFORE USE

About the system

This system of air conditioner can be used for heating/cooling applications.

Preparing for operation

•Contact an installation specialist for installation.

•Use a dedicated circuit.

Usage

•Being exposed to direct airflow for an extended period of time could be hazardous to your health. Do not expose occupants, pets, or plants to direct airflow for extended periods of time.

•Due to the possibility of oxygen deficiency, ventilate the room when used together with stoves or other heating devices.

•Do not use this air conditioner for non-specified special purposes (e.g. preserving precision devices, food, pets, plants, and art objects). Such usage could damage the items.

Cleaning and maintenance

•Do not touch the metal parts of the unit when removing the filter. Injuries can occur when handling sharp metal edges.

•Do not use water to clean inside the air conditioner. Exposure to water can destroy the insulation, leading to possible electric shock.

•When cleaning the unit, first make sure that the power and breaker are turned off. The fan rotates at a very high speed during operation. There is a possibility of injury if the unit’s power is accidentally triggered on while cleaning inner parts of the unit.

Service

For repair and maintenance, contact your authorized service dealer.

Disposal

The unit uses hydrofluorocarbon. Contact your dealer when discarding this unit. It is required by law to collect, transport and discard the refrigerant in accordance with the “hydrofluorocarbon collection and destruction” regulations.
