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 qualied 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.

During Healthy Dehumidification Operation

If you select the dehumidification mode on the OPERATION MODE SELECTION BUTTON, the product starts to run the dehumidification

function. It automatically sets the room temperature and airflow volume to the best condition for dehumidification, based on the sensed current room

temperature. In this case, however, the setting temperature is not displayed on the remote controller and you are not able to control the room temperature either.

During t

he healthy dehumidification functi on , the airflo w volum e is

automatically set according to the optimization algorithm responding to the

current room temperature status, so that the room condition is kept healthy

and comfortable even in the very humid season.

Auto operation basically is heating or cooling function of the air conditioner. But during this operation the controller changes the operation mode automatically to keep the temperature within ±2°C with respect to the setting temperature.

Operating Instructions

Artificial intelligence function judges and operates the set temperature and fan level based room temperature to provide pleasant environment to the user. Artificial intelligence can be categorized largely into cool and dehumidifier artificial intelligence. If the user selects artificial intelligence function during cool operation, it operates in cool artificial intelligence. if the user selects during dehumidifier operation, it operates in dehumidifier artificial intelligence.

To run the healthy dehumidification mode follow steps 1, and 2 and 4 (See operation mode)

NEO PLASMA Purification Operation (Optional)

During auto clean function, only START/STOP BUTTON, PLASMA BUTTON and AUTO CLEAN BUTTON can be used.

NOTE

During auto clean function, moistures left in indoor units after cooling operation or healthy dehumidification operation can be removed.

1. Press the AUTO CLEAN BUTTON to activate this function.

2. Now whenever the unit is turned off, the indoor fan is still running for about 30 minutes internally without cooling or dehumidification operation. Also the louver is closed.

3. This dries up any remains of moisture & cleans the unit internally.

4. If you press AUTO CLEAN BUTTON again during operation, this function is cancelled.

Auto Clean (Optional)

Jet cool function can be used to cool the room quickly in hot summer. When this

function is turned on, the air conditioner runs in cooling operation mode with super high fan speed and 18°C setting temperature for 30 minutes for fast and effective cooling. Similarly, jet heat function (available only in some models) wa

rms up the room quickly

by operating at super high fan speed and 30°C setting temperature for 60 minutes.

Plasma filter is a technology developed by LG to get rid of microscopic contaminants in the intake air by generating a plasma of high charge electrons. This plasma kills and destroys the contaminants completely to provide clean and hygienic air.

You can activate this operation by pressing the JET COOL BUTTON. To change from jet cool mode to high fan speed cooling mode, press the JET COOL BUTTON or INIDOOR FAN SPEED SELECTOR BUTTON or the ROOM TERPERATURE SETTING BUTTON again.

• Jet cool function cannot be activated during heating or auto changeover operations.

• In case of Inverter, Art Cool and Art Cool Wide(non-Deluxe) model, you can use jet heat function by pressing JET COOL BUTTON for heating operation.

• Art Cool and Art Cool Wide models close the side discharges during jet cool/heat operation, for strong cooling and heating.

NOTE

Plasma purification can be started by pressing the PLASMA BUTTON on the remote controller. Repressing it will deactivate the operation.

This feature can be used in any operation mode and any fan speed can be used while plasma filter is functioning.
