IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNINGS FOR USE

1	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.

	water pipe, lightning rod or telephone grounding wire. Incomplete grounding may cause
	electric shock.
6	If anything is abnormal with the air conditioner (ex. a burning smell), stop the operation
	immediately and turn the circuit breaker OFF.
7	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 fire.
8	If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent
	or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard. Use only the manufacture-

specified power cord for replacement.

WARNINGS FOR INSTALLATION/REMOVAL/REPAIR

During heating operation

When outlet air temperature is low, air is blown out from upper air outlet to prevent cold air blowing to the floor. When outlet air temperature becomes high, air is blown out from both air outlet with main air flow from lower outlet to deliver warm air to the floor.

•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.

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.

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 de-icing, 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.

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 operations.

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

DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD 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.

INSTRUCCIONES IMPORTANTES DE SEGURIDAD

ADVERTENCIAS PARA EL USO

1	No deforme o tire del cable de alimentación. Estirar y mal utilizar el cable de alimentación
	puede ocasionar daños o descargas eléctricas.
2	Tenga cuidado de no exponer su cuerpo directamente a la salida de aire durante un largo
	tiempo. Esto puede afectar sus condiciones físicas.
3	Al usar el acondicionador de aire para recién nacidos, niños, ancianos, personas
	postradas en cama o inválidas, asegúrese de que la temperatura de la habitación sea
	la adecuada para ellos.
4	Nunca inserte objetos dentro de la unidad. El insertar objetos puede causar heridas
	debido a la rotación a alta velocidad de los ventiladores internos.
5	Conecte a tierra el acondicionador de aire sin falta. No conecte el cableado a tierra con
	la tubería de gas, tubería de agua, barra pararrayos o cable a tierra del teléfono. Una
	conexión incompleta a tierra puede causar descargas eléctricas.
6	Si sucede algo anormal con el acondicionador de aire (por ej. se detecta un olor a
	quemado), detenga inmediatamente la operación y desactive el cortacircuitos.
7	El aparato se debe instalar de acuerdo con las regulaciones nacionales de cableado. La
	inapropiada conexión del cable puede ocasionar un sobrecalentamiento del cable de
	suministro de alimentación, del enchufe y del tomacorriente, y causar un incendio.
8	Si el cable de alimentación está dañado, éste deberá ser reemplazado por el fabricante,
	por un técnico de servicio autorizado o por una persona similarmente cualificada, para

evitar situaciones peligrosas. Utilice para reemplazo solo el cable de alimentación especificado por el fabricante.

ADVERTENCIAS PARA LA INSTALACIÓN/DESMONTAJE/REPARACIÓN

•No trate de instalar/desmontar/reparar la unidad por su propia cuenta. La elaboración de un trabajo incorrecto ocasionará descargas eléctricas, fugas de agua, incendios, etc. Consulte a su distribuidor o a personal de servicio cualificado para que realice la instalación/ desinstalación/reparación de la unidad.
