Please read the following before installing the Air Conditioner.

Select the best location for the most efficient cooling.

Location

•The air conditioner should be installed in a dry place where there are no draughts.

•Condensation from the air conditioner must be drained to an appropriate location.

•Do not install in a location where flammable gas leaks are a possibility.

•Using in locations where the air is salty such as beside the sea or near hot spas, or

where sulphurous gas is generated, may lead to a malfunction. Please consult your dealer.

•Select a installation location which is rigid and strong enough to support or hold the unit and select a

location for easy maintenance.

How to install

•There should not be any obstacles surrounding the unit.

•Prepare the installation hole slightly bigger than cabinet size.

1) PREPARE CHASSIS

•Remove chassis locking bracket by loosening the screw.

•Slide the chassis out from the cabinet.

2) Place cabinet into opening and secure it by wood screws or

nails.

•The cabinet should be installed tilted slightly lower to the

rear for necessary condensate drainage. (Max. 10mm).

3) Slide Chassis into the cabinet which installed the above 2.

•The tubings or ducting part should not touch the cabinet

4) Lock the chassis into cabinet by chassis locking bracket.

5) Place FRONT GRILLE onto CABINET by screws.

•To place the grille, hook top of grille onto top of cabinet, push

bottom of grille in until it snaps into place. Secure the Front Grille

with the screws at the right, left and center of the grille.

HOW TO INSTALL

3. Drain Water....

To get the maximum cooling efficiency this air conditioner is designed to splash the condensate on the condenser coil.

This method is called “Slinger-Up System”. (For cooling model only)

If the splashing sound annoys you, you can provide an outside drain by using the following procedure which may, however cause

a small loss of performance.

1. Slide out the chassis from the cabinet.

2. Remove the rubber plug from the body base plate. (For cooling model only)

3. Install the drain pan prepared in the accessory kit to the corner of the cabinet with 2 screws.

4. Connect the drain hose to the outlet on the drain pan bottom.

5. Slide the chassis into its original place in the cabinet.

Note: Drain hose or tubing can be purchased locally to satisfy your particular needs.

4. Plug line cord into wall receptacle.

<240–220V, 50Hz>

•Power should be from independent circuit.

•Nominal cross sectional area of power supply wire must be 3 core x 2.5 mm2or above.

(FAN setting operates the fan only.)

* Caution: If the Main Control Knob is turned

off or changed to a fan setting from a cooling

operation setting, WAIT at least 3 minutes

before resetting to a cooling operation.

4. Thermostat Control Knob

Set the Thermostat Control Knob at the

desired setting. (Usually “~ ”is a

recommended setting position.) If the room

temperature is unsatisfactory after a

reasonable amount of time, turn the control

knob clockwise to cool the room more, or

anticlockwise to cool the room less.

•When the Thermostat Control Knob is set to

“”, moisture may freeze onto the coils and

prevent effective cooling. If this happens, turn

the knob to “”HIGH FAN, and the thermostat

control knob anticlockwise. This will quickly

defrost the cooling coil so that normal cooling

can be resumed.

5. Air Swing Switch

(Airflow direction adjustment

For fixed side-to-side air direction, set the Air

Swing Switch to “”ON until the desired air

direction is obtained, then move it to “”OFF.

For continuous side-to-side air circulation, set

the Air Swing Switch to “”ON and leave it
