NOMENCLATURE
Superior Design for Superior Performance
Compact and powerful, this Gree Slim Concealed Duct indoor unit offers the ultimate in
flexibility and discretion. It is designed to be concealed above suspended ceilings or within
open closet spaces to deliver conditioned air via ducting and suitable ceiling or wall grilles.
This arrangement provides immense flexibility, in terms of both the distribution of conditioned
air and the type of grille or diffuser that best complements any room’s styling. Your unit is
easily operated from the wall-mounted wired Tether Controller, or the infrared wireless
Remote Controller.
Like all Gree systems, this unit provides quiet comfort and energy efficient heating and cooling.
For many residential and light commercial applications, it is the ideal solution to balance
comfort, efficiency and ease of use. The Slim Concealed Duct unit works in conjunction with the
Multi21 outdoor compressor section, featuring Gree’s exclusive G-10 Inverter technology. The
Inverter constantly adjusts compressor speed to save energy, reduce outdoor noise and maintain
a steady room temperature, by eliminating the harsh starts and stops of conventional systems.
Thank you for selecting this Gree air conditioner. Before operating your unit,
please read this manual carefully and retain it for further reference.

SYSTEM FUNCTIONS
WHISPER QUIET
Not only are the Gree systems energy efficient but they are quiet too. Slim Duct operates with
sound levels starting as low as 31 dB(A).
MULTI FAN SPEEDS
Whether operating in either Cooling or Heating mode, the indoor fan can be set to your choice
of three different speeds (Low, Medium or High) to achieve maximum comfort.
BUILT IN CONDENSATE LIFT PUMP
The unit features a built-in drain pump that lifts condensate up to 11 inches above the drain
pan to a gravity condensate drain system. In most cases, the internal condensate lift mechanism
will avoid the need for an external condensate pump.
CONDENSATE SENTRY
The unit’s fail-safe mechanism recognizes when there is a high level in the condensate pan
and shuts off the system to prevent overflow.
INTELLIGENT PRE-HEATING
Slim Duct 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.
CONTROLLERS
The Slim Duct unit comes with a factory supplied Wireless Remote Controller and a Wired
Tether Controller.
WIRELESS REMOTE
The Gree multi-functional infrared hand held wireless controller is sleek, ergonomically
designed, easy to use and has a large backlit LCD display.
TETHER CONTROLLER
The Gree wired Tether Controller mounts to the wall up to 26 feet from the unit.
It provides complete control over your unit’s operation mode, desired temperature,
fan speed, airflow direction and more.
5
SYSTEM FUNCTIONS
INTELLIGENT DEFROST
The 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
buildup. Once frost buildup has been detected, the system will switch into a defrost mode to
remove the frost.
I FEEL MODE
In Cooling Mode, the unit will sense room temperature at the Tether Controller instead of at
the indoor unit. It then adjusts airflow and temperature accordingly for the ultimate in personal
comfort control and energy savings.
POWER FAILURE MODE
Power interruptions are no problem for the
Slim Duct
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 Slim Duct system will automatically return to the last operating mode.
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.
CLOCK
The Tether and wireless controllers have a built-in clock feature. The remote will display the time
of day in a 24-hour format.
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.
FAHRENHEIT °F / CELSIUS °C
The remote controller can be set to display in either °F or °C.
6
SYSTEM FUNCTIONS
SLEEP MODE
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.
X-FAN MODE
When operating in humid areas, the X-fan or Dry Coil function allows the indoor fan to run
for a pre-determined amount of time after the unit is turned off (cooling or dry modes) to
ensure that additional moisture is removed from coil.
SELF-DIAGNOSIS
With an on-board computer using real-time diagnostics, the Slim Duct system helps to
prolong its own life. The automatic diagnosis feature continuously scans for unacceptable
operating conditions or malfunctions. If such conditions occur, the system takes corrective
action or stops. Error codes are shown on the Tether Control display to facilitate easy
troubleshooting and repair.
PRIVACY LOCK MODE
The Tether and wireless controllers have a Privacy Lock. The Privacy 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.

CARE AND CLEANING
23
CAUTION
Take notice of the following items before cleaning your air conditioning unit.
• To avoid electric shock or injury, do not attempt to clean the unit unless it has been
turned off and 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 standing platform.
CLEANING THE FILTER
• Never remove the air filter from the unit except for cleaning; otherwise it may cause
dust or dirt to restrict airflow to the unit.
• When the air conditioning unit is used in an environment with heavy dust, the air filter
should be cleaned often (generally once every two weeks).
Perform the following on an annual basis:
• Clean or replace air filter.
• Inspect drain line for potential clogs or leaks.
• Hose off both sides of the coil in the outdoor unit to remove loose debris or dirt buildup.
TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM
S
ystem does not restart.
Indoor unit emits unpleasant
odor when started
You hear a“water flowing”
sound.
A thin fog or vapor coming out
of the discharge register when
system is running.
You hear a slight cracking
sound when the system
stops or starts.
The system will not run.
The unit is not heating or
cooling adequately.
Water leaking from the indoor
unit into the room.
The unit will not deliver air.
CAUSE/SOLUTION
Cause: The system has a built-in 5-minute delay to prevent short and/or rapid cycling of the compressor.
Solution: Wait 5 minutes for the protection delay to expire.
Cause: Typically unpleasant odors are the result of mold or mildew forming on
the coil surfaces or the air filter.
Solution: Wash indoor air filter in warm water with mild cleaner. If odors persist, contact a qualified
service professional to clean the coil surfaces.
Cause: It is normal for the system to make“water flowing”or“gurgling”sounds from refrigerant
pressures equalizing when the compressor starts and stops
Solution: The noises should discontinue as the refrigerant system equalizes after two or three minutes.
Cause: It is normal for the system to emit a slight fog or water vapor when cooling extremely humid warm air.
Solution: The fog or water vapor will disappear as the system cools and dehumidifies the room space.
Cause: It is normal for the system to make “slight cracking” sounds from parts expanding and
contracting during system starts and stops.
Solution: The noises will discontinue as temperature equalizes after 2 or 3 minutes.
Cause: There are a number of situations that will prevent the system from running.
Solution: Check for the following:
• Circuit breaker is “tripped” or “turned off.”
• Power button of controller is not turned on.
• Controller is in sleep mode or timer mode.
• Otherwise, contact a qualified service professional for assistance.
Cause: There are a number of reasons for inadequate cooling or heating.
Solution: Check the following:
• Remove obstructions blocking airflow into the room.
• Clean dirty or blocked air filter that is restricting airflow into the system.
• Seal around door or windows to prevent air infiltration into the room.
• Relocate or remove heat sources from the room.
Cause: While it is normal for the system to generate condensate water in cooling mode,
it is designed to drain this water via a condensate drain system to a safe location.
Solution: If water is leaking into the room, it may indicate one of the following.
• The indoor unit is not level right to left. Level indoor unit.
• The condensate drain pipe is restricted or plugged. All restrictions must be removed to allow
continuous drainage by gravity.
• If problem persists, contact a qualified service professional for assistance.
Cause: There are a number of system functions that will prevent air flow.
Solution: Check for the following:
• In heating mode, the indoor fan may not start for three minutes if the room temperature is very low.
This is to prevent blowing cold air.
• In heat mode, if the outdoor temperature is low and humidity is high, the system may need to
defrost for up to 10 minutes before beginning a heating cycle.
• In dry mode, the indoor fan may stop for up to three minutes during the compressor off delay.
• Otherwise, you should contact a qualified service professional for assistance.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS
1. Relaxing room temperature at night is OK: 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, you need 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. Limit the space you’re heating and cooling
to specified capability of the unit.
4. Service the unit: Some basic maintenance might be all you need. The outdoor unit
will greatly benefit from a good hosing out, 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 or the front of a sofa 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 drapes are closed. Although room temperature may be less
than optimal for a few minutes when you come home, 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.
