Airflow direction control

 Adjust the air flow direction properly otherwise it might cause

discomfort or cause uneven room temperatures.

 Adjust the horizontal/vertical louver using the remote

controller. For some models, the vertical louver can only be adjusted manually.

To set the horizontal/vertical airflow direction

 Perform this function while the unit is in operation.  Use the remote controller to adjust the air flow direction. The

vertical/horizontal louver changes6 degree in angle for each press, or swing up and down automatically. Please refer to the "REMOTE CONTROLLER OPERATION MANUAL , for details.

 For some models, the vertical louver can only be adjusted

manually. Move the deflector rod manually to adjust the air flow in the direction you prefer. IMPORTANT: Do not put your fingers into the panel of blower and suction side. The high-speed fan inside may cause danger.

• Do not operate the air conditioner for long periods with the air flow direction set downward in cooling or dehumidifying mode. Otherwise, condensation may occur on the surface of the horizontal louver causing moisture to drop on to the floor or on furnishings.

• Do not move the horizontal louver manually unless it is necessary. Always use the remote controller.

• When the air conditioner is started immediately after it was stopped, the horizontal louver might not move for approximately 10 seconds.

• Open angle of the horizontal louver should not be set too small, as COOLING or HEATING performance may be impaired due to too restricted air flow area.

• Do not operate unit with horizontal louver in closed position.

• When the air conditioner is connected to power (initial power), the horizontal louver may generate a sound for 10 seconds, this is a normal operation.

CAUTION

How the air conditioner works

AUTO operation

• When you set the air conditioner in AUTO mode, it will automatically select cooling, heating (cooling /heating models only), or fan only operation depending on what temperature you have selected and the room temperature.

• The air conditioner will control room temperature automatically round the temperature point set by you.

• If the AUTO mode is uncomfortable, you can select desired conditions manually.

SLEEP operation

• When you push SLEEP button on remote controller during cooling, heating(cooling only type without), or AUTO operation , the air conditioner will automatically increase(cooling)or decrease (heating) 1°C(2°F) per hour.

• The set temperature will be steady2 hours later. And the air conditioner will be timer off in 7 hours.

• The fan speed will be automatically controlled.

• This feature can maintain the most comfortable temperature and save more energy for you.

DRYING operation

• The fan speed will be automatically controlled under dry operation.

• During the dry operation, if the room temperature is lower than 10OC(50oF), the compressor stops operation and restarts until the room temperature is above 12OC(54oF).

Operation mode selection

While simultaneously operating two indoor units or more, make sure the operation modes will not conflict with each other. The heat mode claims precedence over all other modes. If the intially started operates under heat mode, the other units can operate under heat mode only. For example: If the unit intially started operates under cool (or fan) mode, the other units can operate under any mode except heat. If one of the unit selects heat mode, the other operating units will stop operation and diplay "P5"(For the units with display window only) or the Auto and Operation indication light flash rapidly, the Defrost indication light turn off, the Timer indication light remainon (For the units without display window),or the defrost and Alarm indication light ( if applicable) illuminate ,the operation indication light flashes rapidly and the Timer indication light turns off(For the Floor and standing type).

Optimal operation

To achieve optimal performance, please note the following:

• Adjust the air flow direction correctly so that it is not directed on people.

• Adjust the temperature to achieve the highest comfort level. Do not adjust the unit to excessive temperature levels.

• Close doors and windows on COOL or HEAT modes, or performance may be reduced.

• Use TIMER ON button on the remote controller to select a time you want to start your air conditioner.

• Do not put any object near air inlet or air outlet, as the efficiency of the air conditioner may be reduced and the air conditioner may stop running.

• Clean the air filter periodically, otherwise cooling or heating performance may be reduced.

• Do not operate unit with horizontal louvre in closed position.

Suggestion: For the unit adopts an Electric Heater, when the outside ambient temperature is below 0OC(32oF), we strongly recommend you to keep the machine plugged in order to guarantee it running smoothly.

out from the indoor unit.

• Check that the wiring is not broken off or disconnected.

• Check that the air filter is installed.

• Check if the air outlet or inlet is blocked after the air conditioner has not been used for a long time.

Operation Tips

The following events may occur during normal operation.

1. Protection of the air conditioner.

Compressor protection

• The compressor can't restart for 3 minutes after it stops.

Anti-cold air (Cooling and heating models only)

• The unit is designed not to blow cold air on HEAT mode, when the indoor heat exchanger is in one of

the following three situations and the set temperature has not been reached.

A) When heating has just starting. B) Defrosting.

C) Low temperature heating.

• The indoor or outdoor fan stop running when defrosting (Cooling and heating models only).

Defrosting (Cooling and heating models only)

• Frost may be generated on the outdoor unit during heat cycle when outdoor temperature is low and humidity is high resulting in lower heating efficiency of the air conditioner.

• During this condition air conditioner will stop heating operation and start defrosting automatically.

• The time to defrost may vary from 4 to 10 minutes according to the outdoor temperature and the amount of frost buildup on the outdoor unit.

2. A white mist coming out from the indoor unit

• A white mist may generate due to a large temperature difference between air inlet and air outlet on COOL mode in an indoor environment that has a high relative humidity.

• A white mist may generate due to moisture generated from defrosting process when the air conditioner restarts in HEAT mode operation after defrosting.

3. Low noise of the air conditioner

• You may hear a low hissing sound when the compressor is running or has just stopped running. This sound is the sound of the refrigerant flowing or coming to a stop.

• You can also hear a low "squeak" sound when the compressor is running or has just stopped running. This is caused by heat expansion and cold contraction of the plastic parts in the unit when the temperature is changing.

• A noise may be heard due to louver restoring to its original position when power is first turned on.

4. Dust is blown out from the indoor unit.

This is a normal condition when the air conditioner has not been used for a long time or during first use of the unit.

5. A peculiar smell comes out from the indoor unit.

This is caused by the indoor unit giving off smells permeated from building material, from furniture, or smoke.

6. The air conditioner turns to FAN only mode from COOL or HEAT (For cooling and heating models

only) mode.

When indoor temperature reaches the temperature setting on air conditioner, the compressor will stop automatically, and the air conditioner turns to FAN only mode. The compressor will start again when the indoor temperature rises on COOL mode or falls on HEAT mode (For cooling and heating models only) to the set point.

7. Dripping water may generate on the surface of the indoor unit when cooling ina high relatively humidity (relative humidity higher than 80%). Adjust the horizontal louver to the maximum air outlet position and select HIGH fan speed.

8. Heating mode (For cooling and heating models only) The air conditioner draws in heat from the outdoor unit and releases it via the indoor unit during heating operation. When the outdoor temperature falls, heat drawn in by the air conditioner decreases accordingly. At the same time, heat loading of the air conditioner increases due to larger difference between indoor and outdoor temperature. If a comfortable temperature can't be achieved by the air conditioner, we suggest you use a supplementary heating device.

9. Auto-restart function

Power failure during operation will stop the unit completely. For the unit without Auto-restart feature, when the power restores, the OPERATION indicator on the indoor unit starts flashing. To restart the operation, push the ON/OFF button the remote controller. For the unit with Auto-restart feature, when the power restores, the unit restarts automatically with all the previous settings preserved by the memory function.

10. Lightning or a car wireless telephone operating near by may cause the unit to malfunction.

Disconnect the unit with power and then re-connect the unit with power again. Push the ON/OFF button on the remote controller to restart operation.

Stop the air conditioner immediately if one of the following faults occur. Disconnect the power and contact the nearest customer service center.

If the E( 0,1 ........) or P( 0, 1 ....... ) code appears on the LED(LCD)window, disconnect the

power and contact the service people.

Selecting installation place

Read co mp l e tely, th en f o llow step by st ep .

Indoor unit

• Do not expose the indoor unit to heat or steam.

• Select a place where there are no obstacles in front or around the unit.

• Make sure that condensation drainage can be conveniently routed away.

• Do not install near a doorway.

• Ensure that the space on the left and right of the unit is more than 12cm.

• Use a stud finder to locate studs to prevent unnecessary damage to the wall.

• The indoor unit should be installed on the wall at a height of 2.3 metres or more from the floor.

• The indoor unit should be installed allowing a minimum clearance of 15cm from the ceiling.

• Any variations in pipe length will/may require adjustment to refrigerant charge.

• There should not be any direct sunlight. Otherwise, the sun will fade the plastic cabinet and affect its appearance. If unavoidable, sunlight prevention should be taken into consideration.

Outdoor unit

• If an awning is built over the outdoor unit to prevent direct sunlight or rain exposure, make sure that heat radiation from the condenser is not restricted.

• Ensure that the clearance around the back of the unit is more than 30cm and left side is more than 30cm. The front of the unit should have more than 200cm of clearance and the connection side (right side) should have more than 60cm of clearance.

• Do not place animals and plants in the path of the air inlet or outlet.

• Take the air conditioner weight into account and select a place where noise and vibration will not be an issue.

• Select a place so that the warm air and noise from the air conditioner do not disturb neighbors.

Rooftop installation:

• If the outdoor unit is installed on a roof structure, be sure to level the unit.

• Ensure the roof structure and anchoring method are adequate for the unit location.

• Consult local codes regarding rooftop mounting.

• If the outdoor unit is installed on roof structures or external walls, this may result in excessive noise and

vibration, and may also be classed as a non serviceable installation.

2. Always use wall hole conduit when drilling metal grid, metal plate or the like.

3. Connective Pipe and Drainage

Installation Drainage

1. Run the drain hose sloping downward. Do not install the drain hose as illustrated in Fig.7.

2. When connecting extension drain hose, insulate the connecting part of extension drain hose with a shield pipe, do not let the drain hose slack.

Connective pipe installation

1. For the left-hand and right-hand piping, remove the pipe cover from the side panel.

2. For the rear-right-hand and rear-left-hand piping, install the piping as shown in Fig. 10.

3. Fix the end of the connective pipe.

(Refer to Tightening Connection in REFRIGERANT PIPING CONNECTION)

4. Piping and wrapping

Bundle the tubing, connecting cable, and drain hose with tape securely, evenly as shown in Fig.11.

• Because the condensed water from rear of the

indoor unit is gathered in ponding box and is piped out of room. Do not put anything else in the box.

CAUTION

• Connect the indoor unit first, then the outdoor unit.

• Do not allow the piping to let out from the back of the indoor unit.

• Be careful not to let the drain hose slack.

• Heat insulated both of the auxiliary piping.

• Be sure that the drain hose is located at the lowest side of the bundle. Locating at the upper side can cause drain pan to overflow inside the unit.

• Never intercross nor inter twist the power wire with any other wiring.

• Run the drain hose sloped downward to drain out the condensed water smoothly.
