BEFORE USING YOUR AIR CONDITIONER
PREPARING FOR OPERATION
Refer to the Installation Instructions included in
this manual before using the air conditioner.
Once the air conditioner has been properly
assembled and installed:
Plug the power cord into its own dedicated
1
properly grounded outlet. You will hear a
tone to confirm that the conditioner is
plugged in. Do not plug other appliances
into the same outlet; it could overload the
outlet and create a fire hazard.
Make sure the air conditioner and cord is
2
positioned where it does not create a
tripping hazard and will receive adequate
ventilation. Do not place it directly next to
furniture or objects that could block the
vent openings.
Make sure that any items that could be
3
blown over or damaged by the airflow from
the fan are out of the airflow path.
UNPACKING THE AIR CONDITIONER
Remove and store packing materials for reuse.
Remove any shipping tape before using the
air conditioner. If the tape leaves behind any
adhesive, rub a small amount of liquid dish
soap onto it and wipe with a damp cloth. Do
NOT use sharp instruments, alcohol, thinners,
or abrasive cleaners to remove adhesive.
They could damage the finish.
IMPORTANT:
• Do not remain in the direct airflow from the air
conditioner for extended periods of time.
• To prevent damage or injury to pets and
plants, make sure they are not exposed to
direct airflow from the air conditioner.
• When used at the same time as stoves,
fireplaces, and other combustion devices,
make sure there is a sufficient flow of fresh air
into the room. Do not use in tightly enclosed
spaces with these types of devices.
• This air conditioner is intended for household
use as a consumer comfort appliance. Do not
use it as a precision climate control system,
or for purposes such as cooling precision
equipment, food, pets, plants, artwork, etc.
Such items could be damaged.
• Do not bend the hose downward when
window installation kit is not applied. It may
cause failure of air conditioner or performance
deterioration.

USING THE CONTROLS
ENERGY SAVER
Under normal operation, the exhaust fan cycles
on and off with the compressor, and the
circulation fan runs at the set
speed.
The ENERGY SAVER mode helps
reduce power consumption by
automatically turning off the
circulation fan as well as the exhaust fan when
the compressor is off. The air conditioner will
automatically cycle both fans on and off with the
compressor as needed for cooling.
AUTO CLEAN
To turn the AUTO CLEAN function on, press the
AUTO CLEAN button while the air conditioner is
running in COOL or DRY mode.
This function can only be
selected from the control panel;
it is not available from the
remote. It must be set each time
you wish to run the AUTO CLEAN function.
AUTO CLEAN is used to remove moisture from the
heat exchange coils. This helps prevent the
formation of mildew and odors.
To use AUTO CLEAN:
With the air conditioner running in COOL or
1
DRY mode, press the AUTO CLEAN button.
The indicator will light.
Press the POWER button to turn the air
2
conditioner off. AUTO CLEAN will run
the circulation and exhaust fans with the
compressor off for a few minutes after
the power is turned off.
To cancel AUTO CLEAN, or to stop an
AUTO CLEAN cycle in process, simply press
the AUTO CLEAN button again. The AUTO CLEAN
function will not operate if the air conditioner is
already off.

discharge will oscillate to
circulate air more evenly
through the room. To turn this
function off, simply press the
AUTO SWING button with the
remote again. This setting will stay in memory,
even if the power is turned off.

Your air conditioner is designed for year-round
operation with only minimal cleaning and
maintenance.
For maximum efficiency, it is recommended
that you have the cooling coils inspected and
cleaned annually. Your local LG Authorized
Service Center can provide this inspection
and cleaning service for a nominal fee.
WARNING
• Unplug the air conditioner before cleaning or performing any maintenance or servicing.
• Be careful when cleaning coils or removing or reinstalling the filter—the cooling fins
are sharp!
Failure to follow the above precautions could result in electrical shock or personal injury.
CLEANING THE CASE
Wipe the case with a
slightly damp cloth, then
wipe dry with a dry cloth
or towel.
• To prevent damage to the finish, do not use
gasoline, benzene, thinner, etc., or any
abrasive cleansers to clean the air
conditioner; they may damage the finish.
• Never pour water onto or into the unit; it
could damage internal components and
create a shock and fire hazard.
20
CLEANING THE AIR FILTER
The air filter should be cleaned every two weeks;
depending on indoor air quality, more frequent
cleaning may be needed. A dirty air filter will
decrease airflow and reduce efficiency.
Do not operate the air conditioner without
the air filter in place.
Grasp the two grips
1
on the filter cover
panel and pull back
to open the cover.
2
Lift out the air filter
by the handle.
Filter
Filter
Cover
Use a vacuum cleaner to clean the filter. If
3
the filter is heavily soiled, it can be washed
in warm water using a mild detergent.
Do not use harsh cleaners or very hot
water. Do not wash in a dishwasher.
4
Allow the filter to dry completely before
reinstalling.
Reinsert the filter, making sure that the
5
bottom of the filter is between the tabs and
the coil guard. Reinstall the filter cover,
making sure it clips into place.
