Operation Details
1. MAIN UNIT FUNCTION
• DISPLAY
• On while in appliance operation, off while in appliance pause
• Flashing while in disconnection or short in Thermistor (3 sec off / 0.5 sec on)
• On while in healthy dehumidification mode, off when healthy dehumdification is cancelled.
• On while in timer mode (on/off), off when timer mode is completed or canceled.
• While in appliance operation, on while in outdoor unit compressor running, off while in compressor off
■ Cooling Mode Operation
•
When the intake air temperature reaches 0.5°C below the setting temp, the compressor and the outdoor fan stop.
• When it reaches 0.5°C above the setting temp, they start to operate again.
Compressor ON Temp ➲ Setting Temp+0.5°C
Compressor OFF Temp ➲ Setting Temp-0.5°C
• While in compressor running, operating with the airflow speed set by the remote control. While in compressor not running, operating with the low airflow speed regardless of the setting.
■ Healthy Dehumidification Mode
• When the dehumidification operation input by the remote control is received, the intake air temperature is
detected and the setting temp is automatically set according to the intake air temperature.
26°C ≤ Intake Air Temp ➲ 25°C
24°C ≤ Intake Intake Air Temp<26°C ➲ Intake Air Temp-1°C
18°C ≤ Intake Intake Air Temp<24°C ➲ Intake Air Temp-0.5°C
Intake Air Temp<18°C ➲ 18°C
• While in compressor off, the indoor fan repeats low airflow speed and pause.
• While the intake air temp is between compressor on temp. and compressor off temp., 10-min dehumidifica-
tion operation and 4-min compressor off repeat.
Compressor ON Temp. ➲ Setting Temp+0.5°C
Compressor OFF Temp. ➲ Setting Temp-0.5°C
• In 10-min dehumidification operation, the indoor fan operates with the low airflow speed.
■ Cooling overload
• Outdoor fan ON/OFF by sensing outdoor pipe temperature.
• Outdoor fan is OFF if pipe temperature is below 0°C and outdoor fan is ON if pipe temperature is over 0°C.
■ Airflow Speed Selection
• The airflow speed of the indoor fan is set to high, low by the input of the airflow speed selection key on the
remote control.
■ Off-Timer Operation
• When the set time is reached after the time is input by the remote control, the appliance stops operating.
• The timer LED is on when the off-timer is input. It is off when the time set by the timer is reached.
• If the appliance is on pause at the time set by the timer, the pause continues.

■ Auto Restarting Operation
• When the power is restored after a sudden power failure while in appliance operation, the mode before the
power failure is kept on the memory and the appliance automatically operates in the mode on the memory.
• The slide switch on the main unit of the appliance should be on the Auto Restarting position in order that
the Auto Restarting operation is available.

REMOTE
CONTROL
■ Forced Operation (C/O Model)
• To operate the appliance by force in case that the remote control is lost, the forced operation selection
switch is on the main unit of the appliance to operate the appliance in the standard conditions.
• When the power is supplied while the slide switch is on the forced operation position, or when the slide
switch position is switched to the Auto Restarting position (or test operation) or switched from the remote
control position to the forced operation position while the power is on, the forced operation is carried out.
• When the slide switch position is switched from the forced operation position to the Auto Restarting position
or the remote control position, the forced operation is canceled and the appliance stops operating.
• The forced operation is carried out in cooling mode with the setting temperature 22°C and the high speed of
airflow.
• While in forced operation, the key input by the remote control has no effect and the buzzer sounds 10 times
to indicate the forced operation.
■ Remote Control Operation Mode
• When the remote control is selected by the slide switch on the main unit, the appliance operates according
to the input by the remote control.
■ Protection of the evaporator pipe from frosting
• If the indoor pipe temp is below 0°C in 7 min. after the compressor operates without any pause while in
cooling cycle operation mode, the compressor and the outdoor fan are turned off in order to protect the
indoor evaporator pipe from frosting.
• When the indoor pipe temp is 7°C or higher after 3 min. pause of the compressor, the compressor and the
outdoor fan is turned on according to the condition of the room temperature.
■ Buzzer Sounding Operation
• When the appliance-operation key is input by the remote control, the short "beep-beep-" sounds.
• When the appliance-pause key is input by the remote control, the long "beep—" sounds.
• When a key is input by the remote control while the slide switch on the main unit of the appliance is on the
forced operation position, the error sound "beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-" is made 10 times to indicate that
the remote control signal cannot be received.

• Error mark is ON/OFF for the operation LED of evaporator body in the same manner as the following table.
• If more than two troubles occur simultaneously, primarily the highest trouble fo error code is expressed.
• After error occurrence, if error is released, error LED is also released simultaneously.
• To operate again on the occurrence of error code 12, be sure to pull out power cord and then re-insert.

1) Selection of the best location
1. Indoor unit
• There should not be any heat source or steam
near the unit.
• There should not be any obstacles to prevent
the air circulation.
• A place where air circulation in the room will be
good.
• A place where drainage can be easily obtained.
• A place where noise prevention is taken into
consideration.
• Do not install the unit near the door way.
• Ensure the spaces indicated by arrows from
the wall, ceiling, fence, or other obstacles.
2. Outdoor unit
• If an awning is built over the unit to prevent
direct sunlight or rain exposure, be careful that
heat radiation from the condenser is not
restricted.
• There should not be any animals or plants
which could be affected by hot air discharged.
• Ensure the spaces indicated by arrows from
the wall, ceiling, fence, or other obstacles.

2) Indoor Unit Installation
The mounting wall should be strong and solid
enough to protect it from the vibration.
1. Mount the installation plate on the wall with
four Type "A" screws.
(If mounting the unit on the concrete wall, consider using anchor bolts.)
• Always mount the Installation plate horizontally
by aligning the marking-off line by means of the
thread and a level.
2. Drill the piping hole with 70mm dia. holecore
drill.
• Line according to the arrows marked on lower
the left and the rght side of the Installation Plate.
The meeting point of the extended line is the
center of the hole.
• Drill the piping hole at either the right or the left
and the hole should be slightly slant to the outdoor side.

1) Preparation of pipings
1. Cut the pipes and the cable.
• Use the accessory piping kit or the pipes
purchased locally.
• Measure the distance between the indoor and
the outdoor unit.
• Cut the pipes a little longer than the measured
distance.
• Cut the cable 1.5m longer than the length of the
pipe.
2. Remove burrs.
• Remove burrs from cut edges of pipes.
• Turn the pipe end toward down to avoid the
metal powder entering the pipe.
Caution:
If burrs are not removed, they may cause a gas
leakage.
3. Flaring the pipes.
• Insert the flare nuts, mounted on the connection
ports of both indoor and outdoor unit, onto the
copper pipes. Some refrgerant gas may leak,
when the flare nuts are removed from the indoor
unit, as some gas is charged to prevent the
inside of the pipe from rusting.
• Fit the copper pipe end into the Bar of flare tool
about 0~0.5mm higher. (See illustration)
• Flare the pipe ends.
4. Tape the flaring portion to protect it from the
dust or damages.
