Basic operation modes: AUTO/COOL/DRY/HEAT (Model

dependent)

AUTO 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 set

temperature and the room temperature.

•The air conditioner will control room temperature

automatically to the temperature point you set.

•If you feel uncomfortable in the AUTO mode, you can set

your desired temperature.

SLEEP operation

When selected, the set temperature will increase (cooling)
or decrease (heating) by 1°C/2°F per hour for the first 2
hours. Thereafter it keeps this new temperature for 5
hours before switching off.

DRYING operation

The temperature is regulated while dehumidifying by
repeating turning on and off of the cooling operation or
fan only. The fan speed is LOW.

HEATING operation

This air conditioner operates on the heat-pump principle,
absorbing heat from air outdoors and transferring that
heat to the indoor unit. As a result, the operating

performance is reduced as outdoor air temperature

drops. If you feel that the heating performance is
insufficient, we recommend you to use this air conditioner
in conjunction with other kinds of heating appliance.

Optimal operation

To achieve optimal performance, please note the
following:

•Adjust the air flow direction correctly so that it is not

torwards people.

•Adjust the temperature to achieve moderate comfort
levels. Excessively low or high temperature waste energy.

•Improve performance by keeping windows and doors

closed.

•Limit energy usage(run time) by using the TIMER function.

•Do not put any object near air inlet or air outlet, as the
efficiency of the air conditioner may be reduced and may
cause the air conditioner to stop running.

•Inspect the air filters periodically, and clean them when

needed.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Special functions

Refrigerant Leakage Detection (optional)

When refrigerant leakage is detected, the indoor unit will display “EC” code or flash LEDs(model

dependent).

Louver Angle Memory Function (optional)

Within the scope of safety angle, the horizontal louver angle is memoriesed and will return to the
position last selected by user. If it exceeds, it will memorize the boundry of safety angle. This will not
happen when Turbo or manual control buttons are pressed or after a power interruption. So we
strongly suggest that the open angle of the horizontal louver should not be set too small, in case the
condensed water forms and drips from the horizontal louver.

Self Clean Function (optional)

Airborne bacteria use the moisture on the indoor heat exchanger to grow. Regular drying of the
exchanger prevents this growth. By simply pressing the SELF CLEAN button, the system will
automatically manage the process. This cleaning action may be done as frequently as desired.

•For cooling models, only the indoor fan is active in low speed for 30 minutes and the unit turns off

automatically.

•For cooling & heating models, the unit will operate as in the following sequence:
FAN mode at Low fan speed--Heating operation with LOW fan speed ---FAN operation--Stop
Operation---Turn off.

Note:

•This function is only activated in COOLING or DRY mode.

•Before activation the air conditioner, it is recommended to run the air conditioner under cooling operation

for about 30 minutes.

•Pressing the SELF CLEAN or ON/OFF button again during the cleaning cycle will cancel the operation and turn
the unit off.

Clean Air Function (optional)

Improving the quality of indoor air is one of the purposes of an air conditioner. This air conditioner is
equipped with ionizer or Plasma Dust Collector(model dependent). With the anions generated by
Ionizer, the air circulation of the air conditioner fills the room with refreshing, natural and healthy air.
The Plasma Dust Collector generates a high voltage ionization zone, through which the air is converted
to plasma. Inside the air most of the dust, smoke, and pollen particles are captured by the electrostatic
filter.

Anti-Mildew Function (optional)

When turns off the unit on COOL, DRY, AUTO (Cool) mode, the air conditioner will continue operating
for about 10 minutes (depending on models) with soft wind.This will help to dry up the condensed
water inside the evaporator, and prevent the mildew growth. Under Anti-mildew operation, do not
restart the air conditioner until the unit is completely off.

Anto-Restart Function (optional)

In event of power interruption such as a blackout, the air conditioner stops once. But it restarts
automatically and performs previous operation when the power supply is resumed.
