Electrical Safety

• This appliance must be properly grounded. To minimize the risk of electric shock, you must alway plug into a grounded oulet.

• Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from the power plug.

• Attaching the adapter ground terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the cover screw is metal and not insulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded through the house wiring.

• If you have any doubt whether the air conditioner is properly grounded, have the wall receptacle and circuit checked by a qualified electrician.

We strongly discourage the use of an adapter due to potential safety hazards. For temporary connections, use only a genuine adapter, available from most local hardware stores. Ensure that the large slot in the adapter is aligned with the large slot in the receptacle for a proper polarity connection.

To disconnect the power cord from the adapter, use one hand on each to avoid damaging the ground terminal. Avoid frequently unplugging the power cord as this can lead to eventual ground terminal damage.

• Never use the appliance with a broken adapter.

We strongly discourage the use of an extension cord due to potential safety hazards. For temporary situations, use only CSA certified and UL listed 3-wire grounded extension cords, rated 15 A, 125 V.

Turn the system o before cleaning. To clean, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use bleach or abrasives.

Supply power must be disconnected before cleaning the indoor unit.

AIR FILTERS

The air lters behind the front grille should be checked and cleaned once every 2 weeks or more often if neccessary.

Never use any of the followings:

• Water hotter than 40 °C

Could cause deformation and/or discoloration.

• Volatile substances

Could damage the surfaces of the air conditioner.

Lift the front access panel and pull the lter tab slightly forward to remove the lter.

Clean the lter with a vacuum or warm, soapy water.

• If dirt is conspicuous, wash with a solution of detergent in lukewarm water.

• If hot water (40 ° C or more) is used, it may be deformed.

After washing with water, dry well in the shade. Re-install the air lter.

NOTICE

The heat exchanger coils and panel vents of the outdoor unit should be checked regularly. If clogged with dirt or soot, the heat exchanger and panel vents may be professionally steam cleaned.

When air conditioner is not going to be used for a long time.

When the air conditioner is to be used again.

Turn o the circuit breaker, and disconnect the plug.

Remove the batteries from the remote control.

Turn o the circuit breaker when the air conditioner is not going to be used for a long time.

Dirt may collect and may cause a re.

Clean the air lter and install it in the indoor unit. (Refer to page 12 for cleaning lters.)

Check that the air inlet and outlet of the indoor/outdoor unit are not blocked.

Do not overcool the room.

This is not good for the health and wastes electricity.

Make sure that the doors and windows are shut tight.

Avoid opening doors and windows as much as possible to keep the cool air in the room.

Keep blinds or curtains closed.

Do not let direct sunshine enter the room when the air conditioner is in operation.

Clean the air lter regularly.

Blockages in the air lter reduce the airow and lower cooling and dehumidifying eects. Clean at least once every two weeks.

Keep the room temperature uniform.

Adjust the vertical and horizontal airow direction to ensure a uniform temperature in the room.

Ventilate the room occasionally.

Since windows are kept closed, it is a good idea to open them and ventilate the room now and then.
