WARNING
FOR FLAMMABLE REFRIGERANT
- Do not use means to accelerate the defrosting process or to clean, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
- Do not pierce or burn.
- Be aware that the refrigerants may not contain an odour.
- Compliance with national gas regulations shall be observed.
- Keep ventilation openings clear of obstruction.
- The appliance shall be stored in a room without continuously operating ignition sources (for example: open flames, an operating gas appliance) and ignition sources or (for example: an operating electric heater) close to the appliance.
- The appliance shall be stored so as to prevent mechanical damage from occurring.
- A warning that the appliance shall be stored in a well-ventilated area where the room size corresponds to the room area as specified for operation.
- Any person who is involved with working on or breaking into a refrigerant circuit should hold a current valid certificate from an industry-accredited assessment authority, which authorises their competence to handle refrigerants safely in accordance with an industry recognised assessment specification.
- Servicing shall only be performed as recommended by the equipment manufacturer. Maintenance and repair requiring the assistance of other skilled personnel shall be carried out under the supervision of the person competent in the use of flammable refrigerants.
- DO NOT modify the length of the power cord or use an extension cord to power the unit.
- DO NOT share a single outlet with other electrical appliances. Improper power supply can cause fire or electrical shock.
- Please follow the instruction carefully to handle, install, clear, service the air conditioner to avoid any damage or hazard. Flammable Refrigerant R32 is used within air conditioner. When maintaining or disposing the air conditioner, the refrigerant (R32 or R290) shall be recovered properly, shall not discharge to air directly.
- No any open fire or device like switch which may generate spark/arcing shall be around air conditioner to avoid causing ignition of the flammable refrigerant used. Please follow the instruction carefully to store or maintain the air conditioner to prevent mechanical damage from occurring.
- Flammable refrigerant – R32 is used in air conditioner. Please follow the instruction carefully to avoid any hazard.
- The refrigerating system should not receive maintenance, service, or repair by any person.
- Ensure that the area is in the open or that it is adequately ventilated before breaking into the system or conducting any hot work. A degree of ventilation shall continue during the period that the work is carried out. The ventilation should safely disperse any released refrigerant and preferably expel it externally into the atmosphere.
- Check that cabling will not be subject to wear, corrosion, excessive pressure, vibration, sharp edges or any other adverse environmental effects. The check shall also take into account the effects of aging or continual vibration from sources such as compressors or fans.
- Under no circumstances shall potential sources of ignition be used in the searching for or detection of refrigerant leaks. A halide torch (or any other detector using a naked flame) shall not be used. The following leak detection methods are deemed acceptable for all refrigerant systems. Electronic leak detectors may be used to detect refrigerant leaks but, in the case of FLAMMABLE REFRIGERANTS, the sensitivity may not be adequate, or may need re-calibration. (Detection equipment shall be calibrated in a refrigerant-free area.) Ensure that the detector is not a potential source of ignition and is suitable for the refrigerant used. Leak detection equipment shall be set at a percentage of the LFL of the refrigerant and shall be calibrated to the refrigerant employed, and the appropriate percentage of gas (25 % maximum) is confirmed. Leak detection fluids are also suitable for use with most refrigerants but the use of detergents containing chlorine shall be avoided as the chlorine may react with the refrigerant and corrode the copper pipe-work.
NOTE Examples of leak detection fluids are
– bubble method,
– fluorescent method agents.
If a leak is suspected, all naked flames shall be removed/extinguished.
If a leakage of refrigerant is found contact local manufacture to replace unit.

ADDITIONAL THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
Now that you have mastered the operating procedure, here are more features in your control that you should become familiar with.
NOTE
The “Cool” circuit has an automatic 3 minute time delayed start if the unit is turned off and on quickly. This prevents overheating of the compressor and possible circuit breaker tripping. The fan will continue to run during this time.
- There is a 2-Second delay for the compressor shutting down when selecting FAN ONLY. This is to cover the possibility of having to roll through to select another mode.
- The control will maintain the set temperature within 2 degrees Fahrenheit, between 60°F and 90°F degrees.
- After a power outage, the unit will memorize the last setting and return the unit to the same setting once power is restored.
- The unit should be operated in a temperature range of indoor side 60°F – 90°F (16°C – 32°C), outdoor side 64°F – 109°F (18°C – 43°C). Performance may be reduced outside of these operating temperatures.
Air Directional Louvers
Air directional louvers control air flow direction. Your air conditioner has the louver type described below.
Slider Type
The louvers will allow you to direct the air flow Up or Down and Left or Right throughout the room as needed. Drag the adjuster tablet until the desired Left/Right direction is obtained. Pivot horizontal louvers until the desired Up/Down direction is obtained.
ADJUSTER TABLET(6-WAY)
CARE AND CLEANING & ENERGY SAVING IDEAS
Clean your air conditioner occasionally to keep it looking new. Be sure to unplug the unit before cleaning to prevent shock or fire hazards.
Air Filter Cleaning
The air filter should be checked at least once a month to see if cleaning
is necessary. Trapped particles in the filter can build up and cause an
accumulation of frost on the cooling coils.
- Push the vent handle to the Vent Closed position(where applicable).
- Open the front panel.
- Grasp the filter by the center and pull up and out.
- Wash the filter using liquid dishwashing detergent and warm water. Rinse filter thoroughly. Gently shake excess water from the filter. Be sure filter is thoroughly dry before replacing.
- Or instead of washing, you may vacuum the filter clean.
NOTE: When replacing the air filter after cleaning, make sure the tabs on the air filter are on the upper part of filter, and placed outward as shown in the drawing on the left side.
Air Filter
- Tab
Cabinet Cleaning
- Be sure to unplug the air conditioner to prevent shock or fire hazard. The cabinet and front may be dusted with an oil-free cloth or washed with a cloth dampened in a solution of warm water and mild liquid dishwashing detergent. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.
- Never use harsh cleaners, wax or polish on the cabinet front.
- Be sure to wring excess water from the cloth before wiping around the controls. Excess water in or around the controls may cause damage to the air conditioner.
- Plug in air conditioner.
Winter Storage
If you plan to store the air conditioner during the winter, remove it
carefully from the window according to the installation instructions. Cover it
with plastic or return it to the original carton.
Energy Saving Ideas
- Do not block air flow inside with blinds, curtains or furniture; or outside with shrubs, enclosures, or other buildings.
- The capacity of the room air conditioner must fit the room size for efficient and satisfactory operation.
- Install the room air conditioner on the shady side of your home. A window that faces north is best because it is shaded most of the day.
- Close the fireplace damper, floor and wall registers so cool air does not escape up the chimney and into the duct work.
- Keep blinds and drapes in other windows closed during the sunniest part of the day.
- Clean the air filter as recommended in the section “Care and Cleaning”.
- Proper insulation and weather stripping in your home will help keep warm air out and cool air in.
- External house shading with trees, plants or awnings will help reduce the air conditioner’s work load.
- Operate heat producing appliances such as ranges, washers, dryers and dishwashers during the coolest part of the day.
