Warning for power supply cord

• This power plug must only be plugged into an appropriate wall socket. Do not use it in conjunction with any extension cords.
• Push the power plug securely into the socket and make sure it is not loose.
• Do not pull, deform, or modify the power supply cord, or immerse it in water. Pulling or misuse of the power supply cord can result in damage to the unit and cause electrical shock.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer its service agent, or a similarly qualified person to avoid a hazard. Use only the manufacturer-specified power cord for replacement.
• This appliance must be earthed. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an earth wire. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and earthed.
• This appliance is equipped with a cord that has an earthed wire connected to an earthed pin. The plug must be plugged into a socket that is properly installed and earthed. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the square earthed pin from this plug.

Usage cautions

• Ventilate the room periodically during use, especially if using gas appliances in conjunction with the air conditioner.
• Be sure to turn the unit off and disconnect the power supply cord before performing any maintenance or cleaning.
• Do not splash or pour water directly onto the unit. Water can cause electrical shock or equipment damage.
• Drainage should be performed whenever moving the air conditioner (see page 19). If any water remains in the tank, it may spill out while being moved.
• To ensure proper drainage, the drainage hose must have no kinks and must not be elevated during dehumidification mode. If not, the drained water may spill out into the room.
• The temperature around the drainage hose must not be below freezing point when used. Drained water may freeze inside the hose, causing water inside the unit to overflow into the room.

Operating conditions

• The air conditioner must be operated within the temperature range indicated in the table below.
• Available for operation at condition of supply voltage 220V to 240V at 50Hz.
• A built-in safety device may reduce operation if the temperature exceeds these limits.
• When cooling operation is performed at high room temperature, the fan may run slightly slower.

Energy efficiency tips

• Avoid direct sunlight
  Close blinds, drapes, or shades to keep out direct sunlight while in cooling mode.
• Keep the filter clean
  Keeping the filter clean greatly aids efficient operation. A dirty filter blocks the flow of air, making your air conditioner work harder and less efficiently. See page 15 on how to clean the filter.
• Turn off unnecessary lights
  Your air conditioner must remove the heat produced by your lights or other heat-producing appliances. Turn off any lights or appliances that are not in use.
• Turn off the air conditioner when no one is home
  Use only when necessary. The less time the air conditioner is used, the lower the running costs.

Location

• The air conditioner should be placed on a firm foundation to minimize noise and vibration. For safe and secure positioning, place the unit on a smooth, level floor strong enough to support the unit.
• The unit has casters to aid placement, but it should only be rolled on smooth, flat surfaces. Use caution when rolling on carpet surfaces. Do not attempt to roll the unit over objects.
• The unit must be placed within reach of a properly rated earthed socket.
• Never place any obstacles around the air inlet or outlet of the unit.
• Allow at least 30 cm of space on either side of the wall for efficient air-conditioning.

Included

Suggested tools for window kit installation

1. Screwdriver (medium size Phillips)
2. Tape measure or ruler
3. Knife or scissors
4. Saw (if the window panel needs to be cut down in size because the window is too narrow for direct installation)

Using the remote control

1. Remove the battery cover at the back of the remote control.
2. Insert batteries into the compartment, making sure the polarities are correctly aligned, as shown.
   • Lines will appear on the display when batteries are properly installed.
3. Reattach the battery cover.
4. Press the RESET button using a thin pointed implement.

NOTES:

• Batteries should last approximately one year under normal use.
• When replacing the batteries, always change both batteries at the same time, and make sure they are the same type.
• If the remote control does not operate normally after replacing the batteries, press the RESET button using a thin pointed implement.
• If you will not be using the unit for a prolonged period, remove the batteries from the remote control.
• Do not use rechargeable batteries.

How to use the remote control

Point the remote control towards the unit’s signal receiver window and press the desired button. A beep will sound when the unit receives the signal.

• Make sure nothing, such as curtains, block the signal receiver window.
• The remote control operates up to 7 meters away.

caution

• Do not expose the signal receiver window to direct sunlight. This may adversely affect its operation. If necessary, close the curtains to block out the sunlight.
• The use of a fluorescent lamp in the same room may interfere with the transmission of the signal.
• The unit may be affected by signals emitted from other remote controllers for televisions, VCRs, or other equipment used in the same room.
• Do not leave the remote control exposed to direct sunlight or near a heater. Protect the remote control from moisture and shock which can discolour or damage it.

To prevent the remote control from being misplaced, hook it to the unit when not in use. When attached, to remove the remote control from the unit, lift the remote control slightly and pull it out from the remote control hook.

Maintenance

Be sure to switch off and disconnect the power from the wall socket before performing maintenance.

Cleaning the filters
If the filter is clogged with dust, the airflow will be reduced, resulting in poor cooling performance. The filter should be cleaned every two weeks.

1. Remove the filters
   • Gently pull the filter handle to the right and slide the filter out of the unit.
2. Clean the filters
   • Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any dust. If the filters are very dirty, wash them with detergent and rinse carefully with clean lukewarm water. Dry the filters in the shade before reinstalling them.
3. Reinstall the filters
   • Hold the filter handle and gently push the filter back into place. Never operate the unit without the filter. Doing so may result in serious damage to the unit.

Cleaning the unit and the remote control
Wipe with a soft, dry cloth or with a cloth moistened with a mild soap. Carefully remove any residue by wiping with a damp cloth and dry completely. Avoid splashing water onto the unit. Water can dangerously damage the electrical insulation.

Never use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners on any part of the unit. To avoid damaging the unit, do not use hot water (not greater than 50°C) when cleaning.

Cleaning the insect guard net

The cooling performance may be reduced or stopped completely if the insect guard net becomes clogged with dust. Clean the insect guard net with a vacuum cleaner or such.

Maintenance after air conditioner season

1. Perform drainage to drain out water within the unit. (See page 19 “When the unit is not used for a long time”).
2. Operate the unit in FAN or VENTILATION mode for about half a day to thoroughly dry inside the unit.
3. Clean the filters, then reinstall them.

Before calling for service

If the unit appears to be malfunctioning, check the following points before calling for service.

The air conditioner does not operate at all

• Is the unit plugged in or is the plug loose?
• Has the fuse blown or has the circuit breaker tripped?
• Did you restart the unit within 3 minutes of a power failure? If the power was off for less than 3 minutes when,  you restarted the air conditioner, a protective device may cause the compressor to shut off, preventing cooling for about 5 minutes.
• Are the OPERATION and TIMER lamps on the unit blinking? If so, the water tank inside the unit is full. It must be drained.

Sounds

• The unit may seem rather loud for the first 2 to 3 minutes when turned on. This is the sound of the compressor starting up and is perfectly normal.
• A soft, swishing noise can be heard immediately after the unit is turned on or off, and also during operation. This is the sound of the refrigerant flowing inside the unit.
• A low buzzing noise is emitted when the unit is generating Plasmacluster ions.
• This air conditioner evaporates water condensed during cooling operation within the unit through the exhaust air outlet. Although a water-flowing sound may be heard, this is normal.
• An audible gurgling sound may be heard for about a minute upon starting MANUAL mode. This is the sound of the drainage pump operating inside the unit.
• An audible gurgling sound may be heard when the unit is operated on a gently sloping floor. Place the unit on a level floor.

The timer does not work properly

• If a power failure occurs while the TIMER is set, the TIMER setting will be canceled and will not be retrieved even after the power is restored. This is normal for this unit.

The unit fails to react to the remote control signal

• Check the batteries in the remote control. Replace if necessary.
• Try to send the signal again with the remote control pointed directly at the unit’s signal receiver window.
• Check whether the remote control batteries are installed with the polarities properly orientated.

The discharged air has an odor

• 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 beyond acceptable levels.
