Special feature
Airqualityisthekeytocomfort,thisair conditioner is equipped with Ionizer or Plasma Dust Collector(Depending on models). Ionizer can generate abundant anions to fill the room with refreshing and nature air. Your whole family will enjoy a natural, pure and healthy air everyday. The Plasma Dust Collector can generate an ionization zone. The air is converted to plasma as it passes the high voltage ion generator. 95% of the dust, smoke, and pollen particles are attracted to the electrostatic filter.
CLEAN AIR function(optional)
Function used after the Shut Down of cooling operation to clean the Evaporator and keep it as fresh for the next operation. This function is easy to be operated as it is accessed through the Remote Controller.
This function is only available under COOL(AUTO COOL, FORCED COOL)and DRY mode. Before select the function, it is recommended to run the air condi­tioner under Cooling operation for about half an hour. Once the Self Clean function is activated, all TIMER setting will be cancelled. During Self Clean operation, when press the SELF CLEAN button on the remote controller again will stop the operation and turn off the unit.
Note:

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Airflow direction control
Adjust the air flow direction properly otherwise, it might cause discomfort or cause uneven room temperatures. Adjust the horizontal louver using the remote controller. Adjust the vertical louver manually.
Perform this function while the unit is in operation. Use the remote controller to adjust the air flow direction. The horizontal louver can be moved at a angle of 6 for each press or set to move up and down automatically. Please refer to the REMOTE CONTROLLER OPERATION MANUAL for details.
To set the vertical air flow(Up--Down) direction
O
Adjust the vertical louver manually using the lever on the left or right side of the vertical louver arm (Depending on model). Take care not to catch fingers on the fan, horizontal louver or to damage vertical louvers. When the air conditioner is in operational and the horizontal louver is in a specific position, move the lever at left (or right, depending
on model) end of the air outlet to the desired position.
To set the horizontal air flow direction (left - right)
The DIRECTION/SWING button will be disabled when the air conditioner is not in operation(including when the TIMER
is set). Do not operate the air conditioner for long periods the air flow direction set downward in cooling or dry mode. Otherwise, may occur on the surface of the horizontal louver causing moisture to drop on to the floor or on furnishings. Do not move the horizontal louver manually. Always use the DIRECTION/SWINGbutton. If you move this louver manually, it may malfunction during operation. If the louver malfunctions, stop the air conditioner once and restart it. When the air conditioner is started immediately after it was stopped, the horizontal louver might not move for approximately 10 seconds. Open angle of the horizontal louver should not be set too small, as COOLING or HEATING performance may be impaired due to too restricted air flow area. Do not operate unit with horizontal louver in closed position. When the air conditioner is connected to power (initial power), the horizontal louver may generate a sound for 10 seconds, this is a normal operation.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
AUTO operation
SLEEP operation
DRYING operation
When you set the air conditioner in AUTO mode, it will automatically select cooling, heating(cooling /heating models only), or fan only operation depending on what temperature you have selected and the room temperature. The air conditioner will control room temperature automatically round the temperature point set by you. If the AUTO mode is uncomfortable, you can select desired conditions manually.
When you push SLEEP button on remote controller during cooling, heating(cooling only type without), or AUTO operation , the air conditioner will automatically increase (cooling) or decrease (heating) 1 per hour for the first two hours, then hold steady for the next 5 hours, after that the unit will stop operation. The fan speed will be auto­matically controlled. This feature can maintain the most comfortable temperature and save more energy for you.
The fan speed will be automatically controlled under dry operation. During the dry operation, if the room temperature is lower than 10 C, the compressor stops operation and restarts until the room temperature is above 12 C.

To achieve optimal performance, please note the following:
Adjust the air flow direction correctly so that it is not directed on people. Adjust the temperature to achieve the highest comfort level. Do not adjust the unit to excessive temperature levels. Close doors and windows on COOL or HEAT modes, or performance may be reduced. Use TIMER ON button on the remote controller to select a time you want to start your air conditioner. Do not put any object near air inlet or air outlet, as the efficiency of the air conditioner may be reduced
and the air conditioner may stop running.
Clean the air filter periodically, otherwise cooling or heating performance may be reduced. Do not operate unit with horizontal louvre in closed position.

Exposure to water can destroy the insulation, leading to possible electric shock. When cleaning the unit, first make sure that the power and circuit breaker are turned off.
Caution
Troubleshooting Tips
Befroe you ever contact customer services, check the following first:
The air conditioner does not start. Check the following:
1. I svoltage present at the plug socket outlet?
2. Check the plug fuse!
3. Is the timer set?
The air conditioner does not provide satisfactory cooling. Check the following:
1. Has a appropriate temperature been set?
2. Is the air filter soiled? Clean and fit back in place.
3. Are the inlets and outlets on the outdoor unit blocked?
4. Are the doors and windows closed?
The remote controller does not work. Check the following:
1. Important! It only works within a range of 8m from the indoor unit.
2. Are the batteries still OK? Replace if necessary!
3. Have the batteries been inserted correctly? Check that the + and - terminals are correct!
Stop the air conditioner immediately if one of the following faults occur. Disconnect the power and contact your service center.
1. Operaton indicator or other indicators flash rapidly(5 times every second) and this flash can not be stopped by disconnecting the power and then connecting it in again.
2. Fuse blows frequently or circuit breaker trips frequently.
3. Other objects or water penetrate the air conditioner.
4.
5. Other abnormal situations.
If one of the malfunction codes appears on the display window: E0, E1, E2, E3, E5, E6, P0,P1,P2,P3orP4.

TROUBESHOOTING TIPS
Normal function of the air conditioner
The following symptoms do not indicate air conditioner malfunction.
Problem
After pressing the start key, the unit is not started by the microprocessor for 3 minutes.
Cause
Low noise can be heard
It is for the protection of the compressor, please wait .
The air conditioner also circulates the transpiration from the walls, carpets, smoke, furniture and clothing in the air.
Dripping water may generate on the surface of the indoor unit when cooling in a high relatively humidity (RH more than 80%). Adjust the horizontal louver to
the maximum air outlet position and select HIGH
fan speed.
Air is not blown out immediately in
heat mode.
Odd smell in the room
Water drops from the indoor unit
The crackling noises are caused by the contraction and expansion of the front panel in response to temperature differences.
The clicking noise may be heard caused by fan or the compressor when switching on or off.
You may hear moving water. This is not a fault. The refrigerant in the air conditioner may have expanded.
The unit is designed not to blow cold air on HEAT mode, when the indoor heat exchanger is in one of the following three situations and the set tempera­ture has not been reached. A) When heating has just starting. B) Defrosting. C) Low temperature heating. The indoor or outdoor fan stop running when defrosting (Cooling and heating models only).
The unit turns to Fan mode from cool
or heat mode automatically
When room temperature reaches the temperature setting on air conditioner, the compressor will stop automatically, and the air conditioner turns to FAN only mode. The compressor will start again when the room temperature rises on COOL mode or falls on HEAT mode (For cooling & heating models only) to the set point.
