IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS

WARNINGS

• Do not pull or deform the power supply cord.
Pulling and misuse of the power supply cord
can result in damage to the unit and cause
electrical shock.

• Be careful not to expose your body directly to
the outlet air for a long time. It may affect your
physical conditions.

• When using the air conditioner for infants,
children, elderly, bedridden, or disabled people
make sure the room temperature is suitable for
those in the room.

• Never insert objects into the unit. Inserting
objects can result in injury due to the high
speed rotation of internal fans.

• Ground the air conditioner without fail. Do not
connect the grounding wire to gas pipe, water
pipe, lightning rod or telephone grounding
wire. Incomplete grounding may cause electric
shock.

• If anything is abnormal with the air conditioner
(ex. a burning smell), stop the operation
immediately and turn the circuit breaker OFF.

• The appliance shall be installed in accordance
with national wiring regulations. Improper
cable connection can cause the power supply
cord, plug and the electrical outlet to overheat

and cause re.

• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer or its service

agent or a similarly qualied person in order

to avoid a hazard. Use only the manufacture-

specied power cord for replacement.

• Do not splash or pour water directly on the
unit. Water can cause electrical shock or
equipment damage.

• Do not attempt to install/remove/repair the unit
by yourself. Incorrect work will cause electric

shock, water leak, re etc. Consult your dealer
or other qualied service personnel for the

installation/removal/repair of the unit.

CAUTIONS

• Open a window or door periodically to
ventilate the room, especially when using gas

appliances. Insufcient ventilation may cause

oxygen shortage.

• Do not operate the buttons with wet hand. It
may cause electric shock.

• For safety, turn the circuit breaker off when not
using the unit for an extended period of time.

• Check the outdoor unit mounting rack
periodically for wear and to make sure it is

rmly in place.

• Do not put anything on the outdoor unit nor
step on it. The object or the person may fall
down or drop, causing injury.

• This unit is designed for residential use. Do
not use for other applications such as in a
kennel or greenhouse to raise animals or grow
plants.

• Do not place a vessel with water on the unit.
If water penetrates into the unit, electrical
insulations may deteriorate and cause electric
shock.

• Do not block the air inlets nor outlets of the

unit. It may cause insufcient performance or

troubles.

• Be sure to stop the operation and turn the
circuit breaker off before performing any
maintenance or cleaning. A fan is rotating
inside the unit and you may get injured.

• This appliance is not intended for use by

young children or inrm persons without

supervision. Young children should be
supervised to ensure that they do not play with
the appliance.

• Make sure to connect the air conditioner to
power supply of the rated voltage and fre­quency. Use of a power supply with improper
voltage and frequency can result in equipment

damage and possible re.

• Do not install the unit in a place where inam

-

mable gas may leak. It may cause re.

Install the unit in a place with minimal dust,

fumes and moisture in the air.

• Arrange the drain hose to ensure smooth
drainage. Insufcient drainage may cause wet­ting of the room, furniture etc.

• Make sure a leak breaker or a circuit breaker
is installed, depending on the installation loca­tion, to avoid electrical shock.

TIPS ON SAVING ENERGY

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

Set the proper temperature

• 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
operation.

Keep lter clean to ensure the most ef­cient operation

Disconnect the power cord when the
