DANGER

WARNING

Do not attempt to service the unit yourself. This unit has no user serviceable components. Opening or removing the cover will expose you to dangerous voltage. Tuning off the power supply will not prevent potential electric shock.

To avoid the risk of serious electrical shock, Never sprinkle or spill water or liquids on unit.

Ventilate the room regularly while the air conditioner is in use, especially if there is also a gas appliance in use in this room, Failure to follow these directions may result in a loss of oxygen in the room.

To prevent electric shock, turn off the power or disconnect the power supply plug before beginning any cleaning or other routine maintenance. Follow the directions for cleaning in the Owner's Manual.

Thinner

Never put hands or objects into the Air Outlet of indoor or outdoor units. These units are installed with a fan running at high speed. To touch the moving fan will cause serious injury.

Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners, use a soft and dry cloth for cleaning the unit. To avoid electric shock, never attempt to clean the units by sprinkling water.

For proper performance, operate the unit in temperature and humidity ranges indicated in this owner's manual. If the unit is operated beyond these conditions, it may cause malfunctions of the unit or dew dripping from the unit.

HINTS FOR ECONOMICAL OPERATION

The following should be noticed to ensure an economical operation. (Refer to corresponding chapter for details)

Adjust the air flow direction properly to avoid winding toward your body. Adjust the room temperature properly to get a comfortable situation and to avoid supercooling and superheat. In cooling, close the curtains to avoid direct sunlight. To keep cool or warm air in the room, never open doors or windows more often than necessary. Set the timer for the desired operating time. Never put obstructions near the air outlet or the air inlet. Or it will cause lower efficiency, even a sudden stop. If you don't plan to use the unit for a long time, please disconnect power and remove the batteries from the remote controller. When the power switch is connected, some energy will be consumed, even if the air conditioner isn't in operation. So please disconnect the power to save energy. And please switch the power on 12 hours before you restart the unit to ensure a smooth operation. A clogged air filter will reduce cooling or heating efficiency, please clean it once two weeks.

Checks before operation

Cleaning the air filter

Check that the wiring is not broken off or disconnected. Check that the air filter is installed. (Some air-conditioners haven't air filters.) Check that the outdoor unit air outlet or inlet is not blocked.

Before you clean the air conditioner, be sure to disconnect the power supply plug.

The air filter can prevent the dust or other particulate from going inside .In case of blockage of the filter , the working efficiency of the air conditioner may greatly decrease .Therefore , the filter must be cleaned once two weeks during long time usage. If the air conditioner is positioned in a dust place , the cleaning frequency of the air filter must be increased . If the accumulated dust is too heavy to be cleaned , please replace the filter with a new one(replaceable air filter is an optional fitting).

CAUTIONS

2. Take out the air-in grill.

3. Dismantle the air filter

4. Clean the air filter (Vacuum cleaner or pure water may be used to clean the air filter. If the dust accumulation is too heavy , please use soft brush and mild detergent to clean it and dry out in cool place) .

1. Open the air-in grill (front panel) Push the grill switches towards the middle simultaneously.

Then pull down the air-in grill.

Cautions: The control box cables ,which are originally connected with the main body electrical terminators must be pulled off before doing as indicated above.

Fig. 1 Fig. 2

The air-in side should face up when using vacuum cleaner. (See Fig. 1) The air-in side should face down when using water. (See Fig. 2) Cautions : Do not dry out the air filter under direct sunshine or with fire.

5. Re-install the air filter

6. Install and close the air-in grill in the reverse order of step 1 and 2 and connect the control box cables to the corresponding terminators of the main body . Note: High-static Pressure Parvis Split Type has no air filter.

Relocation

If you move out or if it is desired to relocate the air conditioner, consult your dealer, because special skills to withdraw Freon, purge air and perform other operations are required.

Location:

Be careful of noise or vibrations

Wire

During cooling operation, the air conditioner will dry the room air, so please fix a pipe to drain all the water away from the air conditioner. Please let the indoor unit more than one metre away from the TV set and the radio in order to avoid the picture and noise interference. Powerful radio transmitters or any other devices radiating high frequency radio waves can cause the air conditioner to malfunction. Please consult the dealer where you purchased the air conditioner before installing it. Don't fix the unit in the dangerous region with combustible gas or volatile matter. If the air conditioner operates in an atmosphere containing oils (machine oil), salt (near a coastal area), sulfide gas (near a hot spring), etc., such substances may lead to failure of the air conditioner.

Please fix the unit in the stable place to avoid the noise or vibrations. The noise near the air outlet of the outdoor unit may enter the air exit. Locate the outdoor unit where noise emitted by it or hot air from its air outlet will cause no nuisance to your neighbours. If the air conditioner sounds abnormal during operation, contact the dealer where you purchased the air conditioner.

To avoid the electric shock, please link the air conditioner with the ground. The plug in the air conditioner has joined the ground wiring, please don't change it freely. The power socket is used as the air conditioner specially. Don't pull the power wiring hard. When linking the air conditioner with the ground, observe the local rulers. If necessary, use the power fuse or the circuit, breaker or the corresponding scale ampere. If you want to change the power wiring, please contact the centre service of the local MD electric appliance.
