*For some models, can keep heating at 5°F (-15°C) outdoor ambient , some models heat at -4°F (-20°C) outdoor ambient, even heat at lower outdoor ambient
The temperature of some products is allowed beyond the range. In specific situation, please consult the merchant. When relative humidity is above 80%, if the air conditioner runs in COOLING or DRY mode with door or window opened for a long time, dew may drip down from the outlet.

NOISE POLLUTION

• Install the air conditioner at a place that can bear its weight in order to operate more quietly.
• Install the outdoor unit at a place where the air discharged and the operation noise would not annoy your neighbors.
• Do not place any obstacles in front of the air outlet of the outdoor unit lest it increases the noise level.

FEATURES OF PROTECTOR

1. The protective device will work at following cases.
   • Restarting the unit at once after operation stops or changing mode during operation, you need to wait for 3 minutes.
   • Connect to power supply and turn on the unit at once, it may start 20 seconds later.

2. If all operation has stopped, press ON/OFF button again to restart, Timer should be set again if it has been canceled.

FEATURES OF HEATING MODE
PREHEAT
At the beginning of the HEATING operation, the warm airflow from the indoor unit may be discharged 2-10 minutes later after it warms up.
DEFROST
In HEATING operation the appliance will defrost (de-ice) automatically to raise efficiency. This procedure usually lasts 2-10 minutes. During defrosting, fans stop operation. After defrosting completes, it returns to HEATING mode automatically.

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 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. Use the swing louvers to help direct the air in the right direction for the room; remove or rearrange obstacles blocking airflow.

6. TRY 75 DEGREES:
   75°F (24°C) is a good point for an air conditioner to run at its optimal performance level. Even a 1-degree change in temperature can make your unit use 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 the room temperature will be uncomfortable for a
   few minutes when you come home, the unit will have the room back to your desired temperature in no time.

9. DON’T FORGET THE FAN:
   The fan is much like a car. The faster it runs, the more energy is consumed. 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.

TROUBLESHOOTING
