OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS PRECAUTIONS WARNINGS FOR USE 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 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 and cause fire. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard. Use only the manufacture-specified power cord for replacement. CAUTIONS FOR USE 1 2 3 4 5 6 Open a window or door periodically to ventilate the room, especially when using gas appliances. Insufficient ventilation may cause 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. 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 unit. It may cause insufficient performance or troubles. 2 PRECAUTIONS 7 8 9 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. Do not splash or pour water directly on the unit. Water can cause electrical shock or equipment damage. This appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision. Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. CAUTIONS FOR LOCATION / INSTALLATION · 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 equipment damage and possible fire. · Do not install the unit in a place where inflammable gas may leak. It may cause fire. Install the unit in a place with minimal dust, fumes and moisture in the air. · Arrange the drain hose to ensure smooth drainage. Insufficient drainage may cause wetting 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. ADDITIONAL NOTES ON OPERATION OPERATING TEMPERATURE CONDITION INDOOR TEMP. OUTDOOR TEMP. upper limit lower limit 32°C D.B. 23°C W.B. 21°C D.B. 15°C W.B. 52°C D.B. 21°C D.B. - · The built-in protectivedevice may prevent the unit from operating when used out of this range. · Condensation may from on the air outlet if the unit operates continuously in the COOL or DRY mode when humidity is over 80 percent. WATER IN THE BOTTOM TRAY Water will be collected at the bottom tray of the unit. This is normal condition. Water condenses on the evaporator coil in the front part of the unit and is channeled to the rear where it is picked up by the condenser fan. The water is blown onto the condensor coil fins, this creates a "splashing" sound which is normal. When the tray is filled up with water, excessive water will be drained outside through a grooved channel in the tray. WAIT 3 MINUTES UNTIL COOLING OPERATION STARTS When you turn the air conditioner OFF and restart it again soon, wait at least 3 minutes before the cooling operation starts. This is because the compressor stops for 3 minutes for it's protection. IF A POWER FAILURE OCCURS DURING OPERATION, WAIT 3 MINUTES BEFORE RESTARTING THE OPERATION After power is reinstated, restart the air conditioner. If the power was off less than 3 minutes, be sure to wait at least three minutes before restarting the unit. If you restart the air conditioner within 3 minutes, a protective device in the unit may cause the air conditioner to shut off. This protective device will prevent COOL/DRY operation for about 5 minutes. 3 CONTROLS UNIT 62 3 4 5 1 1 Control panel 2 Reciever Window 3 Operation Lamp (Red) 4 Timer Lamp (Yellow) 5 AUX.
