PRECAUTIONS

POWER CORD REPLACEMENT

WARNING: For replacement, use only the manufacturer specified power cord.

Replacemant should be conducted by a qualified technician or a serviceman. Consult your dealer
for detailed information concerning replacement of the power cord.

WAIT FOR 3 MINUTES BEFORE RESTARTING THE COOLING OPERATION

Whenever you turn the air conditioner OFF, wait for at least three (3) minutes before restarting
the unit.
If you restart the air conditioner within three minutes, a protective device in the unit may cause
the air conditioner to shut off. This protective device will prevent cooling operation for about 5
minutes.

IF A POWER FAILURE OCCURS DURING OPERATION, MAKE SURE TO TURN OFF THE AIR
CONDITIONER

After resumption of power supply, restart the air conditioner . If the power was off for less
than three minutes, make sure to wait for at least three minutes before restarting the unit.
If the air conditioner is not turned off during a power failure, the resumption of power supply
will cause excessive voltage. The air conditioner will be over-loaded and will not operate for
about 5 minutes.

TO STOP THE UNIT, TURN THE SELECTOR KNOB TO THE "OFF" POSITION.

ALWAYS USE A FUSE WITH THE PROPER AMP RATING

Never use wire, pins or anything other than the proper fuse. The product may be damaged and
fire or other hazards may be resulted. In replacing a blown fuse, or if there is the problem of
constant fuse blowing, contact your dealer or our service center.

VENTILATE THE ROOM PERIODICALLY DURING USE, ESPECIALLY IF GAS APPLIANCES ARE
USED.

NOTES ON OPERATION

POWER SUPPLY VOLTAGE

If the power supplied to the unit is not within plus / minus 10 % of the specified rating, the unit may
not function and the fuse may blow.

As the surrounding environment is comparatively silent at night, noise from the air conditioner
may be louder at night than in the day time. If you feel that noise of the air conditioner is too loud,
switch the "SELECTOR" knob to the "LOW COOL" position.

WATER IN THE BOTTOM TRAY

Water will be collected at the bottom tray of the unit. This is normal condition. Water condenses
on the evaporator coil in the front part of the unit and is channeled to the rear where it is picked
up by the condenser fan. The water is blown onto the condensor coil fins, this creates a
"splashing" sound which is normal. When the tray is filled up with water, excessive water will be
drained outside through a grooved channel in the tray.

E-6

A built-in protective device might pre­vent the unit from operating when used
out of this range.

Condensation might form on the air out­let when the unit operates continuously
in the COOL mode when the humidity is
over 80 percent.

MODES OF OPERATION

THERMOSTAT KNOB

Use to adjust the desired room temperature setting.

The air conditioner will automatically maintain the room temperature according to the
THERMOSTAT setting. The higher the numbers, the cooler the room temperature becomes.
Experiments may be needed in order to find out the most suitable setting.

AUTO SWING SWITCH

Use to activate automatic louver movement during LOW COOL, MED COOL and
HIGH COOL.

Adjust the louvers to change the direction of air flow for uniform and efficient cooling of the
room. Set the AUTO SWING switch ON ( ), and the Left/Right air flow adjustment louvers
will swing continuously to provide better circulation of cool air. The louvers will be stopped at
the position when the switch is turned off. You can also use the switch to adjust the Left/Right
air flow adjustment louvers to the desired position. Never attempt to move the Left/Right air
flow adjustment louvers manually, or manually force the louver movement to stop during
swing operation.
The AUTO SWING switch will not activate the louvers when the SELECTOR KNOB is set to
FAN.

UP/DOWN AIR FLOW ADJUSTMENT

Airflow direction can be adjusted by moving the airflow adjustment louvers upward or down­ward. To avoid condensation on the louvers, please do not adjust these louvers to extremely
downward position during LOW COOL, MED COOL and HIGH COOL operation modes for a
long time.

VENTILATION LEVER

If air in your room is stale, set the VENTILATION lever to the RIGHT (OPEN) position. This
will remove stale air from the room. The VENTILATION lever should normally be kept in the
LEFT (CLOSED) position during cooling operation for maximum cooling effect.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING : Turn off the unit before performing any cleaning or maintenance.

CLEANING THE FILTER

If the filter is clogged with dust, the amount of air flow will be reduced, resulting in poor
cooling performance. The filter should be cleaned for every 10 days. At the beginning of
every cooling season or if the air conditioner has not been used for a long period, clean the
filter before starting to operate the unit.

REMOVE THE AIR FILTER

1.

Remove the grille by sliding it to the left until
it stops and then pull it towards you. Next lift
and unhook the bottom of the air filter and
remove it.

2.

CLEAN THE FILTER

To remove dust from the filter, use a
vacuum cleaner or wash it with water.
If the filter is very dirty, wash it with
detergent and rinse carefully with water.
Dry the filter with a soft cloth. Do not expose
the filter to heat or dry it under direct
sunlight.

3.

RE-INSTALL THE FILTER

Fit the top hooks, and then hook the bottom
of the air filter. Replace the grille. Never
operate the unit without installing the filter or
the grille. It may be resulted in serious
damage to the unit.

CLEANING OF THE FRONT PANEL,GRILLE AND CABINET

To clean the front panel, grille and cabinet, wipe with a soft, dry cloth or with a cloth
moistened with a mild soap. Rinse carefully by wiping with a damp cloth and dry
completely.
Avoid splashing the unit with water. Excessive water will affect electrical insulation
and fire may be resulted during operation.
Never use erosive chemicals or abrasive cleaners on any part of the unit. To avoid
damaging the unit, do not use hot water of over 50°C when cleaning.

OILING OF THE COMPRESSOR AND FAN MOTOR IS UNNECESSARY

ENGLISH

The compressor is permanently lubricated and is hermetically sealed. The fan motor
is lifetime sealed and does not require oiling.

BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVlCE

IF YOUR AIR CONDITIONER DOES NOT OPERATE PROPERLY, PLEASE CHECK
THE FOLLOWING ITEMS BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE.

AIR CONDITIONER DOES NOT OPERATE AT ALL

• Is the power cord loosened or disconnected?

• Is the fuse blown or has the circuit breaker been tripped?

• Did you restart the unit within 3 minutes after power failure? If the power was off for less

than 3 minutes, and you restart the air conditioner within 3 minutes, a protective device
may cause the air conditioner to shut off, preventing cooling operation for about 5
minutes.

AIR CONDITIONER DOES NOT COOL PROPERLY

• Is the SELECTOR set to FAN?
Cooling will not be conducted in FAN setting. Change the SELECTOR setting to LOW

COOL, MED COOL or HIGH COOL.

• Is the filter covered with heavy dirt?
A dirty filter can cause the cooling coils to get frozen. If this happens, clean the filter and

replace it. Run the air conditioner with the FAN setting until defrostation.

• Is the THERMOSTAT set properly?
If your room is too warm, adjust the THERMOSTAT knob to a higher cooling setting.
If your room is too cool, adjust the THERMOSTAT knob to a lower cooling setting.

• Is the VENTILATION lever set in the RIGHT (OPEN) position?
The lever should be set in the LEFT (CLOSED) position during cooling operation.

• Are the windows exposed to direct sunlight?
Close curtains or blinds to minimize the heat in the room.

• Are the windows or doors open?
Close all windows and doors for maximum cooling effect.

LEFT / RIGHT AIR FLOW ADJUSTMENT LOUVERS DO NOT SWING

• Is the crank shaft fit properly into the louver link?
Remove the front panel, and replace it again. Make sure to slide the crank shaft into the

opening of the louver link at the back of the front panel. (See page E-5, step7-(1))

• Is the SELECTOR set to FAN? The auto swing louver can be activated only at LOW
COOL, MED COOL and HIGH COOL settings.

FOLLOWINGS ARE NORMAL CONDITIONS OF THIS AIR CONDITIONER

SOUNDS

• The sound of the compressor may seem rather loud for 2 to 3 minutes when the unit is
turned on. This is the sound of the compressor's start-up and is normal for this unit.

• A soft swishing noise can be heard immediately after the unit is turned on or off, and also
during operation. This is the sound of the refrigerant flowing inside the unit.

ODORS

• Carpet and furniture odors may enter the unit and be sent out from the unit.
