Unit Specifications and Features

Unit Parts

Achieving Optimal Performance

Optimal performance for the COOL, HEAT, and DRY modes can be achieved in the following temperature ranges. When your air conditioner is used outside of these ranges, certain safety protection features will activate and cause the unit to perform less than optimally.

Inverter Split Type
FOR UNITS WITH AUXILARY ELECTRIC HEATER When the outside temperature is below 0°C (32°F ), we strongly recommend keeping the unit plugged in at all times to ensure smooth ongoing performance. To further optimize the performance of your unit, do the following:

Room Temperature

| 17°C – 32°C (63°F – 90°F)| 0°C – 30°C (32°F – 86°F)| 10°C – 32°C (50°F – 90°F)
 | 0°C – 50°C|  |
 | (32°F – 122°F)|  |
Outdoor| -15°C – 50°C| -15°C – 30°C| 0°C – 50°C
Temperature| (5°F – 122°F)| (5°F – 86°F)| (32°F – 122°F)
 | (For models with|  |
 | low temp.|  |
 | cooling systems.)|  |

• Keep doors and windows closed.
• Limit energy usage by using the TIMER ON and TIMER OFF functions.
• Do not block air inlets or outlets.
• Regularly inspect and clean air filters.

For a detailed explanation of each function, refer to the Remote Control Manual.

Other Features

Auto-Restart
If the unit loses power, it will automatically restart with the prior settings once the power has been restored.

Anti-mildew (some units)
When turning off the unit from COOL, AUTO (COOL), or DRY modes, the air conditioner will continue to operate at very low power to dry up condensed water and prevent mildew growth.

Wi-Fi Control (some units)
Wi-Fi control allows you to control your air conditioner using your mobile phone and a Wi-Fi connection.

Louver Angle Memory(some units)
When turning on your unit, the louver will automatically resume its former angle.

Refrigerant Leakage Detection (some units)
The indoor unit will automatically display “EC” when it detects refrigerant leakage. For a detailed explanation of your unit’s advanced functionality (such as TURBO mode and its self-cleaning functions), refer to the Remote Control Manual.

NOTE ON ILLUSTRATIONS
Illustrations in this manual are for explanatory purposes. The actual shape of your indoor uni t may be slightly different. The actual shape shall prevail. Setting Angle of Air Flow

Setting the vertical angle of airflow
While the unit is on, use the SWING / DIRECT button to set the direction (vertical angle) of airflow.

1. Press the SWING /DIRECT button once to activate the louver. Each time you press the button, it will adjust the louver by 6°. Press the button until the direction you prefer is reached.
2. To make the louver swing up and down continuously, press and hold the SWING/DIRECT button for 3 seconds. Press it again to stop the automatic function.

Setting the horizontal angle of airflow
The horizontal angle of the airflow must be set manually. Grip the deflector rod (See Fig.2.3) and manually adjust it to your preferred direction. For some units, the horizontal angle of the airflow can be set by remote control. please refer to the Remote Control Manual.

NOTE ON LOUVER ANGLE
When using COOL or DRY mode, do not set the louver at too vertical an angle for long periods. This can cause water to condense on the louver blade, which will drop on your floor or furnishings. (See Fig. 2.2)
When using COOL or HEAT mode, setting the louver at too vertical an angle can reduce the performance of the unit due to restricted airflow. Do not move the louver by hand. This will cause the louver to become out of sync. If this occurs, turn off the unit and unplug it for a few seconds, then restart the unit.

Caution
Do not keep the louver at too vertical an angle for long periods. This can cause water condensation to drip on your furnishings.

CAUTION
Do not put your fingers in or near the blower and suction side of the unit. The high-speed fan inside the unit may cause injury.

Sleep Operation
The SLEEP function is used to decrease energy use while you sleep (and don’t need the same temperature settings to stay comfortable). This function can only be Press the SLEEP button activated via remote control. when you are ready to go to sleep. When in COOL mode, the unit will increase the temperature by 1°C (2°F) after 1 hour and will increase an additional 1°C (2°F) after another hour. When in HEAT mode, the unit will decrease the temperature by 1°C (2°F) after 1 hour and will decrease an additional 1°C (2°F) after another hour. It will hold the new temperature for 7 hours, then the unit will turn off automatically.

Note
The SLEEP function is not available in FAN or DRY mode.

SLEEP Operation
Manual Operation (Without Remote)

How to operate your unit without the remote control

• Any unit repairs should be performed by an authorized dealer or licensed service provider.

Maintenance
If you plan not to use your air conditioner for an extended period, do the following:

Pre-Season Inspection
After long periods of non-use, or before periods of frequent use, do the following:

Troubleshooting

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
If ANY of the following conditions occurs, turn off your unit immediately!

• The power cord is damaged or abnormally warm
• You smell a burning odor
• The unit emits loud or abnormal sounds
• A power fuse blows or the circuit breaker frequently trips
• Water or other objects fall into or out of the unit

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FIX THESE YOURSELF! CONTACT THE AUTHORIZED SERVICE PROVIDER IMMEDIATELY!

Common Issues
The following problems are not a malfunction and in most situations will not require repairs.

3-minute protection feature that prevents the unit from overloading. The unit cannot be restarted within three minutes of being turned off.

The unit changes from COOL/HEAT

mode to FAN mode

| The unit may change its setting to prevent frost from forming on the unit. Once the temperature increases, the unit will start operating in the previously selected mode again.
The set temperature has been reached, at which point the unit turns off the compressor. The unit will continue operating when the temperature fluctuates again.
The indoor unit emits white mist| In humid regions, a large temperature difference between the room’s air and the conditioned air can cause white mist.
Both the indoor and outdoor units emit white mist| When the unit restarts in HEAT mode after defrosting, white mist may be emitted due to moisture generated from the defrosting process.
Issue Possible Causes

The indoor unit makes noises

| A rushing air sound may occur when the louver resets its position.
A squeaking sound may occur after running the unit in HEAT mode due to expansion and contraction of the unit’s plastic parts.

Both the indoor unit and outdoor unit make noises

| Low hissing sound during operation: This is normal and is caused by refrigerant gas flowing through both indoor and outdoor units.
Low hissing sound when the system starts, has just stopped running, or is defrosting: This noise is normal and is caused by the refrigerant gas stopping or changing direction.
Squeaking sound: Normal expansion and contraction of plastic and metal parts caused by temperature changes during operation can cause squeaking noises.
The outdoor unit makes noises| The unit will make different sounds based on its current operating mode.
Dust is emitted from either the indoor or outdoor unit| The unit may accumulate dust during extended periods of non-use, which will be emitted when the unit is turned on. This can be mitigated by covering the unit during long periods of inactivity.

The unit emits a bad odor

| The unit may absorb odors from the environment (such as furniture, cooking, cigarettes, etc.) which will be emitted during operations.
The unit’s filters have become moldy and should be cleaned.
The fan of the outdoor unit does not operate| During operation, the fan speed is controlled to optimize product operation.

Operation is erratic,

unpredictable

, or unit is unresponsive

|

Interference from cell phone towers and remote boosters may cause the unit to malfunction.

In this case, try the following:

•     Disconnect the power, then reconnect.

•     Press ON/OFF button on remote control to restart operation

NOTE: If the problem persists, contact a local dealer or your nearest customer service center. Provide them with a detailed description of the unit malfunction as well as your model number. When troubles occur, please check the following points before contacting a repair company.
