appliances. Insufficient ventilation may cause oxygen shortage.

2Do not operate the buttons with wet hand. It may cause electric shock.

3For safety, turn the circuit breaker off when not using the unit for an extended period of

time.

4Check the outdoor unit mounting rack periodically for wear and to make sure it is firmly

in place.

5Do not put anything on the outdoor unit nor step on it. The object or the person may fall

down or drop, causing injury.

kennel or greenhouse to raise animals or grow plants.

7Do not place a vessel with water on the unit. If water penetrates into the unit, electrical

insulations may deteriorate and cause electric shock.

8Do not block the air inlets nor outlets of the unit. It may cause insufficient performance

or troubles.

9Be 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.

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

equipment damage.

ADDITIONAL NOTES ON OPERATION

OPERATING TEMPERATURE RANGE

• 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.

TIPS ON SAVING ENERGY

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

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.

SET THE CORRECT TEMPERATURE

• Setting the thermostat 1°C higher than the desired temperature in the COOL 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 operation.

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 OR TURN OFF THE CIRCUIT BREAKER

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.
