Installation
•Do not install the air conditioner on an unstable surface or in a
place where there is danger of it falling.
•Contact an authorized service center when installing or relocating
the air conditioner.
•Install the panel and the cover of the control box safely.
•Do not install the air conditioner in a place where flammable liquids
or gases such as gasoline, propane, paint thinner, etc., are stored.
•Make sure that the pipe and the power cable connecting the indoor
and outdoor units are not pulled too tight when installing the air
conditioner.
•Use standard circuit breaker and fuse that conform to the rating of
the air conditioner.
•Do not input air or gas into the system except with the specific
refrigerant.
•Use non-flammable gas (nitrogen) to check for leak and to purge
air; using compressed air or flammable gas may cause fire or
explosion.
•The indoor/outdoor wiring connections must be secured tightly,
and the cable should be routed properly so that there is no force
pulling the cable from the connection terminals. Improper or loose
connections can cause heat generation or fire.

Notes for Operation
Suggestion for Energy Saving
• 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, within a short period of time.
• Open windows regularly for ventilation. The indoor air quality may deteriorate if the air conditioner is
used for long durations.
• 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.
• For use in Australia, New Zealand : This air conditioner is capable of DRM1, DRM2 and DRM3 and
complies with standard AS/NZS 4755.3.1.(Optional)
