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.

electronic shock.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

CAUTION

Installation

• Make sure to check if there is a refrigerant leak after you install or repair the air conditioner. Failure
to do so may result in product failure.

• Install the drain hose properly for smooth drainage of condensed water. Failure to do so may result
in product failure.

• Keep level even when installing the product.

• Install the air conditioner where the noise from the outdoor unit or the exhaust gas will not incon­venience the neighbors. Failure to do so may result in conflict between neighbors.

• When transporting the equipment, there should be at least 2 or more people, or a forklift. It may re­sult in serious injury.

• Do not install the air conditioner where it will be exposed to sea wind (salt spray) directly. It may re­sult in product failure.

Operation

• Do not expose people, animals or plants to the cold or hot wind from the air conditioner. It may re­sult in serious injury.

• 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. It may result in death, fire or electric
