Operation of Current Detection Device

(Applicable to the unit adopts current detection device only )

The power supply cord contains a current detection device that senses damage to the power cord. To test your power supply cord do the following:

1. Plug in the Air Conditioner.

2. The power supply cord will have TWO buttons on the plug head. Press the TEST button, you will notice a click as the RESET button pops out.

3. Press the RESET button, again you will notice a click as the button engages.

4. The power supply cord is now supplying electricity to the unit. (On some products this is also indicated by a light on the plug head.)

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons when using your air conditioner, follow basic precautions, including the following: Be sure the electrical service is adequate for the model you have chosen. This information can be found on the serial plate, which is located on the side of the the cabinet and behind the grille. If the air conditioner is to be installed in a window, you will probably want to clean both sides of the glass first. If the window is a triple-track type with a screen panel included, remove the screen completely before installation. Be sure the air conditioner has been securely and correctly installed according to the installation instructions in this manual. Save this manual for possible future use in removing or installing this unit. When handling the air conditioner, be careful to avoid getting cut from sharp

metal fins on front and rear coils.

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons when using your

air conditioner, follow basic precautions, including the following: Be sure the air conditioner is properly grounded. To minimize shock and fire hazards, proper grounding is important. The power cord is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for protection against shock hazards. Your air conditioner must be used in a properly grounded wall receptacle. If the wall receptacle you intend to use is not adequately grounded or protected by a time delay fuse or circuit breaker, have a qualified electrician install the proper receptacle. Ensure the receptacle is accessible after the unit installation. Do not run air conditioner without side protective cover in place.This could result in mechanical damage within the air conditioner. Do not use an extension cord or an adapter plug.

Do not use the current detection device to turn the unit on or off. Always make sure the RESET button is pushed in for

correct operation. The power supply must be replaced if it fails reset when

either the TEST button is pushed, or it cannot be reset. A new one can be obtained from the product manufacturer.

If power supply cord is damaged, it cannot be repaired. It MUST be replaced by one obtained from the product

manufacturer.

NORMAL SOUNDS

All the illustrations in this manual are for explanation purpose only. Your air conditioner may be slightly different.

NOTE:

AIR CONDITIONER FEATURES

Sound of Rushing Air

At the front of the unit, you may hear the sound of rushing air being moved by the fan

High Pitched Chatter

High efficiency compressors may have a high pitched chatter during the cooling cycle.

Gurgle/Hiss

Gurgling or hissing noise may be heard due to refrigerant passing through evaporator during normal operation.

Pinging or Switching

Droplets of water hitting condenser during normal operation may cause pinging or switching sounds.

Vibration

Unit may vibrate and make noise because of poor wall or window construction or incorrect installation.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before operating this appliance.

To begin operating the air conditioner, follow these steps:

1. Set the thermostat to the highest number (coldest or cooler setting).

2. Set the selector control to the highest COOL setting.

3. Adjust the louver for comfortable air flow (see Air Directional Louvers).

4. Once the room has cooled, adjust the thermostat to the setting you find most comfortable.

5. Make sure that the air flow inside and outside are not obstructed by anything.

The louvers will allow you to direct the air flow Up or Down(on some models) and Left or Right throughout the room as needed. Pivot horizontal louvers until the desired Up/Down direction is obtained.

Move the Levers from side to side until the desired Left/Right direction is obtained.

CARE AND CLEANING

CAUTION

Clean your air conditioner occasionally to keep it looking new. Be sure to unplug the unit before cleaning to

prevent electric shock or fire hazards.

Air Filter Cleaning

The air filter should be checked at least once a month to see if cleaning is necessary. Trapped particles in the filter can build up and cause an accumulation of frost on the cooling coils.

Note: Never use hot water over 40 C(104 F) to cl ean th e

a i r fil ter. Never attempt to operate the unit without the air

filter.

Push the vent handle to the Vent Closed position (where applicable). Open the front panel. Hold the filter by the center and pull up and out.

Wash the filter using liquid dishwashing detergent and warm water. Rinse filter thoroughly. Gently shake excess water from the filter. Be sure the filter is thoroughly dry before replacing. Or, instead of washing you may vacuum the filter clean.

Winter Storage

If you plan to store the air conditioner during the winter, remove it carefully from the window according to the installation instructions. Cover it with plastic or return it to the original carton.

Cabinet Cleaning

Be sure to unplug the air conditioner to prevent electric shock or fire hazard. The cabinet and front may be dusted with an oil-free cloth or washed with a cloth dampened in a solution of warm water and mild liquid dishwashing detergent. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry. Never use harsh cleaners, wax or polish on the cabinet front. Be sure to wring excess water from the cloth before wiping around the controls. Excess water in or around the controls may cause damage to the air conditioner. Plug in air conditioner.

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

Solution

Problem

Air from unit does not feel cold enough

Thermostat set too low for night-time cooling. To defrost the coil, set to FAN ONLY mode. Then, set temperature to a Higher setting.

Air filter may be dirty. Clean filter. Refer to Care and Cleaning section. To defrost, set to FAN ONLY mode.

Air conditioner cooling, but room is too warm- ice forming on cooling coil behind decorative front.

O O

Outdoor temperature below 64 F(18 C). To defrost the coil, set FAN ONLY mode.

Compressor stopped while switching modes. Wait for 3 minutes and restart in COOL mode.

Dirty air filter- air restricted. Clean air filter. Refer to Care and Cleaning section.

Unit recently turned on in hot room. Allow additional time to remove Stored heat from walls, ceiling, floor and furniture.

Air conditioner cooling, but room is too warm- NO ice forming on cooling coil behind decorative front.

Temperature is set too High, set temperature to a Lower setting.

Air directional louvers positioned improperly. Position louvers for better air distribution.

Front of units is blocked by drapes, blinds, furniture, etc. - restricts air distribution. Clear blockage in front of unit.

Doors, windows, registers, etc. Open- cold air escapes. Close doors, windows, registers.

Air conditioner turns on and off rapidly

Noise when unit is cooling

Water dripping INSIDE when unit is cooling.

Improper installation. Tilt air conditioner slightly to the outside to allow water drainage. Refer to installation instructions - check with installer.

Dirty air filter- air restricted. Clean air filter.

Air movement sound. This is normal . If too loud, set to a slower FAN setting.

Outside temperature extremely hot. Set FAN speed to a Higher setting to bring air past cooling coils more frequently.

Window vibration - poor installation. Refer to installation instructions or check with installer.

Water dripping OUTSIDE when unit is cooling.

Remote Sensing Deactivating Prematurely (some models)

Remote control not within range. Operate remote control within 20 feet and pointed in the general direction of the air conditioner unit.

Remote control signal obstructed. Check and remove obstruction.

Room too cold

Set temperature too low. Increase set temperature.
