INSTALLATION LOCATION

• We recommend that this air conditioner be installed properly by qualified installation technicians in accordance with the Installation Instructions provided with the unit.

• Before installation, check that the voltage of the electric supply in your home or office is the same as the voltage shown on the nameplate.

• Do not install this air conditioner where there are fumes or flammable gases, or in an extremely humid space such as a greenhouse.

• Do not install the air conditioner where excessively high heat-generating objects are placed.

Avoid: To protect the air conditioner from heavy corrosion, avoid installing the outdoor unit where

salty sea water can splash directly onto it or in sulphurous air near a spa.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

• All wiring must conform to the local electrical codes. Consult your dealer or a qualified electrician for details.

• It is strongly recommended to be installed with Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker (ELCB) or Residual Current Device (RCD) to prevent electric shock or fire.

• Each unit must be properly grounded with a ground (or earth) wire or through the supply wiring.

• Wiring must be done by a qualified electrician.

To warm up the system, the power mains must be turned on at least five (5) hours before operation. Leave the power mains ON unless you will not be using this appliance for an extended period.

NOTE

Pull off the power plug from a receptacle, or switch off the breaker, or switch off the power disconnecting mean to isolate the air conditioner from the main power supply when not in use for a long time.

• Do not use this appliance in a potentially explosive atmosphere.

• This air conditioner has no ventilator for intaking fresh air from outdoors. You must open doors or windows frequently when you use gas or oil heating appliances in the same room, which consume a lot of oxygen from the air. Otherwise there is a risk of suffocation in an extreme case.

• To prevent possible hazards from insulation failure, the unit must be grounded.

• Do not clean inside the indoor and outdoor units by users. Engage authorized dealer or specialist for cleaning.

• In case of malfunction of this appliance, do not repair by yourself. Contact to the sales dealer or service dealer for a repair.

• Check for a leaking refrigerant! Refrigerant gas may produce a toxic gas if it comes in contact with fire.

• For safety, be sure to turn the air conditioner off and also to disconnect the power before cleaning or servicing.

• Pull off the power plug from a receptacle, or switch off the breaker, or switch off the power disconnecting mean to isolate the air conditioner from the main power supply in case of emergency.

• Do not sit or step on the unit. You may fall down accidentally.

• Do not turn the air conditioner on and off from the power mains switch. Use the ON/ OFF operation button.

• Do not stick anything into the air outlet of the outdoor unit. This is dangerous because the fan is rotating at high speed.

• Do not touch the air inlet or the sharp aluminum fins of the outdoor unit. You may get injured.

• Keep the fire alarm and the air outlet at least 5 feet (1.5 m) away from the unit.

• Do not let children play with the air conditioner.

ADJUSTING AIRFLOW DIRECTION

 Wall mounted type (K2)

Vertical directions (automatic)

Confirm that the remote controller has been turned on. Press the FLAP button to start the flap moving up and down. If you want to stop the flap movement and to direct the air in the desired direction, press the FLAP button again. In the cool mode, do not direct the flap down and move out of the cooling zone “A”, otherwise, condensation may drip on to the floor. Zone ‘‘A’’ is the recommended flap position for cooling. When operating continuously in the fixed airflow direction setting for about an hour, the airflow direction is automatically controlled and the flap position is changed. The airflow direction may be different from the display on the remote controller.

Do not move the flap with your hands.

Horizontal directions (manual)

The horizontal airflow direction can be adjusted manually by moving the vertical vanes to the left or right.

SPECIAL REMARKS

‘‘DRY’’ Operation • Once the room temperature reaches the level that was set, the unit repeats the cycle of

turning on and off automatically.

• In order to prevent the humidity in the room from rising again, the indoor fan also turns off when the unit stops operating.

• The fan speed is set to ‘‘LO.’’ automatically, and cannot be adjusted.

• ‘‘DRY’’ operation is not possible if the outdoor temperature is 59°F (15°C) or less.

Heating Performance • Since this air conditioner utilizes outside air for heating, its heating performance

deteriorates as outside temperature decreases. (Due to heat pump system)

• It will take some time until the room becomes warmer after heating operation started. (Due to hot air circulation system in order to heat a whole room)

Defrosting • This appliance may start defrosting operation to melt frost form in the outdoor unit during

long hour heating operation mode. The indoor unit fan will stop for about 5 to 10 minutes at this time.

Heating Standby The remote controller shows “ ” (Heating standby) on the display in the following mode and

the indoor unit fan may be controlled.

• When operation started (Indoor unit fan stops for maximum 6 minutes.)

• When Thermostat activated

• When defrosting (Indoor unit fan stops.)

Remote Control Sensor The temperature sensor in the indoor unit normally senses the room temperature and can also

sense the ambient temperature of the remote controller. For the details, consult the shop you purchased.

Should the power failure

occurs while the

unit is running

When the unit automatically resumes operation after temporary power failure, it uses the same settings before the power was cut off.

CARE AND CLEANING

Air filter The air filter collects dust and other particles from the air and should be cleaned at regular

NOTE

Clean the air intake and outlet side of the indoor unit with a vacuum cleaner brush, or wipe them with a clean soft cloth.

If these parts are stained, use a clean cloth moistened with a mild liquid detergent. When cleaning the air outlet side, be careful not to force the vanes out of place.

1. Never use solvents or harsh chemicals when cleaning the indoor unit. Do not wipe plastic parts using very hot water.
