WARNING
Do not pull or deform the power supply cord.
Pulling and misuse of the power supply cord
can result in damage to the unit and cause
electrical shock.
Be careful not to expose your body directly to
the outlet air for a long time. It may affect your
physical conditions.
When using the air conditioner for infants,
children, elderly, bedridden, or disabled people
make sure the room temperature is suitable for
those in the room.
Never insert objects into the unit. Inserting
objects can result in injury due to the high
speed rotation of internal fans.
Ground the air conditioner without fail. Do not
connect the grounding wire to gas pipe, water
pipe, lightning rod or telephone grounding
wire. Incomplete grounding may cause electric
shock.
If anything is abnormal with the air conditioner
(ex. a burning smell), stop the operation
immediately and turn the circuit breaker OFF.
The appliance shall be installed in accordance
with national wiring regulations. Improper
cable connection can cause the power supply
cord, plug and the electrical outlet to overheat
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer or its service
to avoid a hazard. Use only the manufacture-
Do not splash or pour water directly on the
unit. Water can cause electrical shock or
equipment damage.
Do not attempt to install/remove/repair the unit
by yourself. Incorrect work will cause electric
installation/removal/repair of the unit.
CAUTION
Open a window or door periodically to
ventilate the room, especially when using gas
oxygen shortage.
Do not operate the buttons with wet hand. It
may cause electric shock.
For safety, turn the circuit breaker off when not
using the unit for an extended period of time.
Check the outdoor unit mounting rack
periodically for wear and to make sure it is
Do not put anything on the outdoor unit nor
step on it. The object or the person may fall
down or drop, causing injury.
This unit is designed for residential use. Do not
use for other applications such as in a kennel
or greenhouse to raise animals or grow plants.
Do not place a vessel with water on the unit.
If water penetrates into the unit, electrical
insulations may deteriorate and cause electric
shock.
Do not block the air inlets nor outlets of the
troubles.
Be 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.
This appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless they
have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a persion
responsible for their safety. Childern should be
supervised to ensure that they do not play with
the appliance.
Make sure to connect the air conditioner
to power supply of the rated voltage and
frequency. Use of a power supply with
improper voltage and frequency can result in
-
Install the unit in a place with minimal dust,
fumes and moisture in the air.
Arrange the drain hose to ensure smooth
-
ting of the room, furniture etc.
Make sure a leak breaker or a circuit breaker
is installed, depending on the installation
location, to avoid electrical shock.

TIPS ON SAVING ENERGY
Below are some simple ways to save
energy when you use your air conditioner.
Set the proper temperature
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
and heating operations.
Disconnect the power cord from
the wall outlet or turn off the circuit
breaker when the unit is not used for
an extended period time
The indoor unit still consumes a small amount
of power when it is not operating.

heck the following points before call-
ing for service.
The unit does not operate
Check if the circuit breaker has tripped or the
fuse has blown.
The unit does not cool effectively
Check the outdoor unit to make sure nothing
is blocking the air inlet or outlet.
Check the thermostat is proper setting.
Make sure windows and doors are closed
tightly.
The unit does not receive the remote
control signal
Check whether the remote control batteries
have become old and weak.
Try to send the signal again with the remote
control pointed properly towards the units
signal receiver window.
Check whether the remote control batteries
are installed properly.
Please call for service when OPERA-
TION lamp and TIMER lamp on the unit
blink.
BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE
The following conditions do not denote
equipment malfunctions.
UNIT DOES NOT OPERATE
The unit will not operate if it is turned on im-
mediately after it is turned off. The unit will not
operate immediately after the mode is changed.
This is to protect the unit. Wait 3 minutes before
operating the unit.
ODORS
Carpet and furniture odors that entered into the
unit may be sent out from the unit.
CRACKING NOISE
This sound is generated by the friction of the
unit expanding or contracting due to a tempera-
ture change.
MIST SEEN AT INDOOR AIR OUTLET
In cooling operation, this is caused by the differ-
ence between the room air temperature and the
air discharged.
THE OUTDOOR UNIT DOES NOT STOP
After stopping the operation, the outdoor unit
will rotate its fan for about a minute to cool
down the unit.
SWISHING NOISE
The soft, swishing noise is the sound of the
(For SMD models only)
ODOR EMITTED FROM THE
PLASMACLUSTER AIR OUTLET
This is the smell of ozone generated from
the Plasmacluster Ion generator. The ozone
concentration is very small, posing no adverse
effect on your health. The ozone discharged
into the air rapidly decomposes, and its density
in the room will not increase.
A LOW BUZZING NOISE
This is a sound of the unit generating Plasma-
cluster ions.
