System Functions

WHISPER QUIET

Not only are the Gree systems energy efficient but they are quiet too. Livo High-Wall units operate with sound pressure levels starting as low as 28 dB(A).

MULT IFAN SPEEDS

Whether operating in either Cooling or Heating mode, the indoor fan can be set to your choice of four different speeds (Low, Medium, High or Turbo) to achieve maximum comfort.

INTELLIGENT PRE-HEATING

The Livo system guards against the annoying cool air blown into the room in heating mode. The system constantly monitors the discharge air temperature. It will delay the indoor fan until the indoor coil has warmed up to prevent blowing uncomfortable cool air into the room.

I FEEL MODE

The unit will sense room temperature at the remote controller instead of at the indoor unit during cooling mode. It then adjusts airflow and temperature accordingly for the ultimate in personal comfort control and energy savings.

ADJUSTABLE AIRFLOW

The Livo system has a bi-directional airflow control for maximum comfort. The indoor unit has adjustable vertical swing louvers and can be set in multiple discharge directions from the wireless remote controller.

TURBO MODE

Use Turbo Mode for situations where you wish to achieve the desired room temperature in the shortest possible time. This mode runs the unit at ultra high speeds for quickest results.

FREEZE GUARD

Room Freeze Guard protection will automatically keep the room temperature from getting too cold, where water pipes might freeze.

TIMER MODE

The unit can be programmed to turn ON or OFF after a specific amount of time. The time period is adjustable between one half and 24 hours.

MODE BUTTON

The unit can be set to five different operating modes: HEAT, COOL, DRY, FAN ONLY and AUTO.

NOTE: AUTO MODE has fixed setpoints of 68°F heating and 78°F cooling, which are not adjustable. The system will automatically select heating or cooling to maintain room temperature within this band.

SLEEP MODE

The Livo offers a Sleep Mode function for your comfort. The unit will automatically adjust room temperature during your sleep time. This slight change in temperature will not affect your comfort level due to the natural effects that sleeping has on the body, but it will save on energy consumption and will lower electric bills.

ENERGY SAVINGS MODE

This feature will automatically select the optimal compressor and fan speeds to allow for energy savings while operating in Cooling or Heating modes. The compressor and fan will automatically slow down as the room temperature reaches the set point.

SELF-DIAGNOSIS

Livo has a built-in computer which uses real-time diagnostics which help prolong the unit's life. The automatic diagnosis feature continuously scans for errors or malfunctions and fault codes are shown on the unit display to facilitate troubleshooting and repair.

POWER FAILURE MODE

Power interruptions are no problem for the Livo system. User selections and system parameters are stored in non-volatile memory. These parameters are retained during a power failure. When power is returned, the Livo system will automatically return to the last operating mode.

INTELLIGENT DEFROST

The Livo Intelligent Defrost function increases room comfort and saves energy by eliminating unnecessary defrost cycles. In heating mode, the unit will monitor the outdoor coil for frost build up. Once frost buildup has been detected, the system will switch into a defrost mode to remove the frost.

POLYMERIC AIR FILTER

The polymeric mesh filters save energy by preventing the indoor coils from being plugged with dirt and lint. This economical and sturdy filter may be washed, vacuumed and reused.

FAHRENHEIT °F/ CELSIUS °C

The remote controller and indoor wall unit front panel can be set to display in either °F or °C.

PRIVACY LOCK MODE

The wireless remote controller has a Lock feature. The Lock averts unauthorized access or tampering with system settings.

AGENCY LISTINGS

All systems are listed with AHRI (Air conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute) and are ETL certified per UL Standards.

DAMAGED OR LOST REMOTE CONTROLLER

If remote controller is lost or damaged, the Livosystem can be turned off directly from the indoor unit. Lift the front panel of the indoor wall unit, then press the AUX button to turn on or turn off. When the unit is on, it will operate in AUTO Mode.

WARNING: Use insulated object to press the auto button.

Care and Cleaning

WARNING: Take notice of the following items before cleaning your Livo indoor wall unit.

• To avoid electric shock or injury, do not attempt to clean the unit unless it has been turned off and the indoor and outdoor units have been disconnected from the main power supply.
• Do not wash the unit with water; this may cause an electric shock.
• During cleaning, be sure to use a stable and safe standing platform.

FRONT PANEL CLEANING

Wash the front panel using warm water and mild detergent with a soft cloth or soft brush.

NOTE: Do not use bleach, abrasives or water above 110°F (45°C) as it may cause discoloration or damage to the surface of the unit.

AIR FILTER CLEANING

Changing your air filter on a regular basis prevents many problems. Dirty air filters will affect the performance and the longevity of your unit. It is recommended that air filters be cleaned every three (3) months.

To access and clean the filter:

1. Open Front Panel
   Firmly grasp both sides of the front panel and pull upward to about 60 degree angle. (NOTE: do not force panel open).
   
2. Remove Filter
   Remove the filter as indicated in the figure at right.
   
3. Clean Filter
   Use vacuum to clean the filter. When the filter is very dirty, use warm water (below 110°F) to clean it, and then dry filter before replacing.
   
4. Reinstall Filter
   Reinstall the filter and then close the panel cover tightly.
   

Troubleshooting

CAUTION - Stop operation and call for service in the following circumstances:

• You hear a harsh or unusual sound during operation.
• Unusually foul odor is emitted during operation.
• Water is leaking in the room.
• You notice a burning smell or see smoke.
• Circuit breaker trips frequently, or unit stops abnormally often.

Energy Saving Tips

1. Reduce room setpoint at night: During the nighttime hours you don't require the same level of conscious cooling or heating. Try using Sleep Mode to gradually relax room temperature and allow the unit to run less and save energy.
2. Curtains and shades: In the summer, it is recommended to block the effects of the sun. Close window curtains and shades on the south and west side of your home to help block solar heat. In winter, the sun is your friend. Open curtains and shades to allow solar heat into your room.
3. Close doors: If you don't need to heat and cool your whole home, confine the heating and cooling to one room by closing doors.
4. Service the unit: Some basic maintenance might be all you need. The outdoor unit will greatly benefit from a good hosing off, especially in treed areas where seeds and other debris can stick to coil fins and make the unit work up to 15% harder!
5. Rearrange the room: Furniture that obstructs airflow means you could be heating and cooling the back of a chair instead of the actual living space. Remove or rearrange obstacles blocking airflow.
6. Try 75 degrees: 75°F is a good point for an air conditioner to run at its optimal performance level. Even a 5-degree change in temperature can make your unit use up to 40% more energy.
7. Lighting: Turning lights off can help reduce your heat. Each light bulb is a tiny heater. Your air conditioner must waste energy overcoming the heat from your lights to reach and hold your desired room temperature.
8. Is anyone home? If possible, while you're away turn your unit to Auto mode and make sure windows and curtains are closed. Although room temperature may be less than optimal for a few minutes when you return, the unit will soon have the room back to your desired temperature.
9. Don't forget the fan: The fan is much like a car. The faster it runs, the more energy it uses. Sometimes we need the car to go fast, but slow is good enough most of the time. Try saving money by using the comfortable quiet low fan speed as much as possible.

DIAGNOSTIC CODES

The Livo System has onboard diagnostics.The outdoor unit will provide status indicators. The indoor wall unit and remote controller will display error codes.The following is a summary of the codes with explanation:

Notes:

1. During defrosting process, the heating indicator is on for 10s and off for 0.5s.
2. Refer to Service Manual for additional information.
