AUTOMATIC OPERATION

(When the mode is set to AUTO.) When using the AUTO mode,the temperature setting and mode (HEAT,COOL or DRY) are automatically selected based on the room

temperature when the unit is turned on.

AUTO SLEEP FUNCTION (TIMER OFF)

When this feature is selected, the air conditioner will automatically vary the room temperature while you sleep to prevent you from

becoming too hot or too cold.

WAKE UP FUNCTION (TIMER ON)

When this feature is selected, the unit will automatically turn on up to 30 mins before the pre-programmed time so that the room tem-

perature reaches the desired level by the time you wake up.

ONE-HOUR TIMER

At the press of one button, the unit can be programmed to turn off after one hour.

WARNING:

For your safety ensure that your new air conditioner is installed by a licenced electrical contractor in accordance with the SAA WIRING RULES.

To ensure that your warranty is not cancelled, both the indoor/outdoor units and supply/interconnecting cables must be installed with the application of

GOOD WORKMANSHIP.

USE A 230-240 VOLT POWER CIRCUIT ONLY.

Using a power circuit with improper voltage and frequency can result in damage to the unit and possibly fire. Use a circuit with a 230-240 volt (+lO%) rating.

VENTILATE THE ROOM OCCASIONALLY DURING USE.

Open the window or door periodically to ventilate the room, especially when using gas appliances.

DO NOT INSERT OBJECTS INTO THE INLET OR OUTLET.

Inserting objects into the unit could result in injury due to rotation of the high-speed fans.

DO NOT PULL, HANG ON, OR OTHERWISE MISUSE THE POWER CORD.

Pulling the power cord may result in damage or electrical shock. Do not misuse the power cord.

WHEN USING THE AIR CONDITIONER FOR INFANTS, CHILDREN, OR ELDERLY, BEDRIDDEN, OR DISABLED PEOPLE.

Make sure the room temperature is suitable for those in the room.

ALWAYS USE A FUSE WITH THE CORRECT CURRENT RATING.

This unit is designed for human comfort. Do not use for applications such as a kennel or nursery to raise animals or plants.

Below are some simple ways to save energy when you use your air conditioner.

SET THE CORRECT TEMPERATURE

l Setting the thermostat 1 “C higher in COOL mode, and 2°C lower in HEAT mode than the desired

temperature will result in a 10% saving in electricity.

l Setting the temperature colder than necessary during cooling will result in excess power

consumption.

l Make an effective use of the SAVE MODE. (Refer to page 17)

KEEP OUT DIRECT SUNLIGHT AND DRAFTS

+ Keeping out direct sunlight when cooling will aid in reducing the power consumption.

l Close the windows and doors when heating and cooling the room.

SET PROPER AIR FLOW DIRECTION

l Set the louvres to obtain the best air circulation.

KEEP FILTER CLEAN

l Keep the filter clean to ensure the most efficient operation.

MAKE MOST OF TIMER

l Make the most of the AUTO SLEEP (TIMER OFF) function.

UNPLUG THE POWER CORD WHEN THE UNIT IS NOT TO BE USED FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD

l Unplug the power cord when the unit is not to be used for a long period of time. The indoor unit

still consumes a small amount of power when it is not operating.
