TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY

ENGLISH

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.

Operation

• Do not let the air conditioner run for a long time when the humidity is very high or when a door or
window has been left open. Failure to do so may result in product failure.

• Make sure that the power cord is not pulled or damaged while the air conditioner is operating. Fail­ure to do so may result in fire, electric shock, or product failure.

• Do not place any objects on the power cord. It may result in electric shock or product failure.

• Do not turn on or off the air conditioner by plugging in or unplugging the power plug. It may result in
fire or electric shock.

• Do not touch, operate or repair the air conditioner with wet hands. It may result in electric shock or
product failure.

• Do not place a heater or other heating appliances near the power cable. It may result in fire, electric
shock, or product failure.

• Do not allow water to run into the air conditioner. It may result in explosion or fire.

• Do not leave flammable substances such as gasoline, benzene and thinner near the air conditioner.
It may result in explosion or fire.

• Do not use the air conditioner for an extended period of time in a small place without ventilation.
Ventilate the place regularly. Failure to do so may result in explosion or fire.

• When there is a gas leak, ventilate sufficiently before using the air conditioner again. Failure to do so
may result in explosion or fire.

• Unplug the power plug if there is a noise, smell or smoke coming from the air conditioner. Failure to
do so may result in explosion or fire.

• Stop operating and close the window in strom or hurricane. If possible remove the product from the
window before hurricane arrives

• Do not touch the electrostatic filter after opening the front grille. Failure to do so may result in elec­tric shock or product failure.

• Contact an authorized service center when the air conditioner is submerged into water due to flood­ing. Failure to do so may result in explosion or fire.

• Be cautious water could not enter the product

• Make sure to ventilate sufficiently when this air conditioner and a heating appliance such as a heater
are used simultaneously. Failure to do so may result in fire, serious injury, or product failure.

• Turn the main power off and unplug the power plug when you clean or repair the air conditioner.
Failure to do so may result in death, serious injury, or product failure.

• Unplug the power plug when the air conditioner is not used for an extended period of time. Failure
to do so may result in product failure.

• Do not place any objects on the air conditioner. It may result in product failure.

• For inner cleaning, contact an Authorized Service Center or a dealer.
Do not use harsh detergent that causes corrosion or damage on the unit.
Harsh detergent may also cause failure of product, fire, or electronic shock.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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
shock.

• Do not block the inlet or outlet of air flow. It may result in explosion or product failure.

• Do not use strong cleaning agents or solvents when you clean the air conditioner, or spray water.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

WARNING

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

• 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.

Temporary Use of an Adapter

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.

WARNING

• Never use the appliance with a broken adapter.

Temporary Use of an Extension Cord

We strongly discourage the use of an extension cord due to potential safety hazards.

WARNING

• This appliance should be installed in accordance with national wiring regulations.

This guide acts as a guide to help to explain product features.
