WHEN POWER FAILURE OCCURS
This air conditioner has a memory function to store settings when a power failure occurs.
After power recovery, the unit will automatically re-start in the same settings which were
active before the power failure, except for timer settings.
If the timers were set before a power failure, they will need to be re-set after power recovery.
PREHEATING FUNCTION
In the HEAT operation, the indoor fan may not start for two to five minutes after the unit is
turned on to prevent cold air from blowing out of the unit.
• The built-in protective
device may prevent the
unit from operating when
used out of this range.
• Condensation may form
on the air outlet if the
unit operates continuously in the COOL or
DRY mode when humidity is over 80 percent.
DE-ICING FUNCTION
• When ice forms on the heat exchanger in the outdoor unit during the HEAT operation, an
automatic de-icer provides heat for about 5 to 10 minutes to remove the ice. During deicing, the inside and outside fans stop operating.
• After de-icing is completed, the unit automatically resumes operation in the HEAT mode.
HEATING EFFICIENCY
• The unit employs a heat pump that draws heat from the outside air and releases it into the
room. The outside air temperature therefore greatly affects the heating efficiency.
• If the heating efficiency is reduced due to low outside temperatures, use an additional
heater.
• It takes time to warm up and heat the entire room because of the forced air circulation
system.
4
TIPS ON SAVING ENERGY
Below are some simple ways to save energy when you use your air conditioner.
SET THE CORRECT TEMPERATURE
• Setting the thermostat 1°C higher than the desired temperature in the COOL mode and
2°C lower in the HEAT mode will save approximately 10 percent in power consumption.
• Setting the temperature lower than necessary during cooling operation will result in
increased power consumption.
BLOCK DIRECT SUNLIGHT AND PREVENT DRAFTS
• Blocking direct sunlight during cooling operation will reduce power consumption.
• Close the windows and doors during cooling and heating operation .
SET PROPER AIR FLOW DIRECTION TO OBTAIN THE BEST AIR
CIRCULATION
KEEP FILTER CLEAN TO ENSURE THE MOST EFFICIENT OPERATION
MAKE MOST OF THE TIMER OFF FUNCTION
TURN OFF THE CIRCUIT BREAKER WHEN THE UNIT IS NOT USED FOR AN
EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME
The indoor unit still consumes a small amount of power when it is not operating.

BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE
The following conditions do not denote equipment malfunctions
UNIT DOES NOT OPERATE
• The unit will not operate if it is turned on
immediately after it is turned off. The unit
will not operate immediately after the
mode is changed. This is to protect the
internal mechanisms. Wait 1.5~3 minutes
before operating the unit.
• The unit will not operate immediately after
the circuit breaker is turned on. This is the
safety mechanism to protect the
compressor. Wait for 90 seconds.
UNIT DOES NOT SEND OUT WARM
AIR
The unit is preheating or de-icing.
ODORS
Carpet and furniture odors that entered into
the unit and the air conditioner's inner component odors at the early stage of installation may be sent out from the unit.
CRACKING NOISE
The unit may produce a cracking noise. This
sound is generated by the friction of the front
panel and other components expanding or
connecting due to a temperature change.
SWISHING NOISE
The soft, swishing noise is the sound of the
refrigerant flowing inside the unit.
WATER VAPOUR
• In the COOL and DRY operation, water vapour can sometimes be seen at the air outlet due to the difference between the room
air temperature and the air discharged by
the unit.
• In the HEAT operation, water vapour may
flow out of the outdoor unit during de-icing.
THE OUT DOOR UNIT DOES NOT STOP
After stopping the operation, the outdoor unit
will rotate its' fan for about 80 seconds to cool
down the unit.
UNIT DOES NOT OPERATE IN YOUR
REQUESTED MODE
• When one indoor unit is operationg in COOL
or DRY mode, you can not operate the other
unit in HEAT mode. (4 seconds later, a long
BEEP will be emitted, and OPERATION
lamp and TIMER lamp will blink alternately.)
• When one indoor unit is operationg in HEAT
mode, you can not operate the other unit in
COOL nor DRY mode. (4 seconds later, a
long BEEP will be emitted, and OPERATION lamp and TIMER lamp will blink alternately.)
INDOOR UNIT BECOMES WARM EVEN
WHEN IDLE
This is because the refrigerant also flows
through the idle indoor unit's pipes when the
other unit operated.
If the unit appears to be malfunctioning, check the following points before calling for
service.
IF THE UNIT FAILS TO OPERATE
Check to see if the circuit breaker has tripped or the fuse has blown.
18
IF THE UNIT FAILS TO COOL OR HEAT THE ROOM EFFECTIVELY
Check the filters. If dirty,
clean them.
Make sure windows and
doors are closed tightly.
Check if the other unit is operating at the same time.
Both units operated at the same time will reduce cooling or heating efficiency.
Check the outdoor unit to
make sure nothing is blocking
the air inlet or outlet.
A large number of people in
the room can prevent the unit
from achieving the desired
temperature.
Check the thermostat is
proper setting.
Check whether any heatgenerating appliances are
operating in the room.
IF THE UNIT FAILS TO RECEIVE THE REMOTE CONTROL SIGNAL
Check whether the remote
control batteries have become old and weak.
Try to send the signal again
with the remote control
pointed properly towards the
unit’s signal receiver window.
Check whether the remote
control batteries are installed with the polarities
properly aligned.
