  4.  Do not dry the filters by fire, or it may catch fire or become deformed.
  5. Clean the filter with a wet cloth dipped in neutral detergent.
  6.  Please contact after-sales service staff if there is abnormal situation.
  7. Non-professional person is not allowed to open the air-in grille of indoor unit.

6.1 Cleaning of Filter

  1. Remove the filters from inlet of IDU. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust. If the filters are dirty, wash them with warm water and mild detergent, and dry the filters in the shade.
  2. If the unit used in the environment with much dust, please clean it regularly (usually once every two weeks).

6.2 Maintenance before the Seasonal Use

  1. Check if the air inlet and air outlet of indoor and outdoor unit are blocked.
  2. Check if securely grounded.
  3. Check if all the power cord and communication cable are securely connected.
  4. Check if any error code displayed after energized.

6.3 Maintenance after the Seasonal Use

  1. Set the unit in fan mode for half a day in a sunny day to dry the inner part of unit;
  2.  When the unit won’t be used for a long time, please cut off power supply for energy saving; the characters on the wired controller screen will disappear after cutting off the power supply.

Troubleshooting

The air conditioner is not expected to be serviced by users. Incorrect repair may cause electric shock or fire, so please contact an authorized service center for professional service. The following checks prior to contact may save your time and money.

Phenomenon Troubleshooting

The unit can’t start.

| ①   Power supply is not connected.
②   Circuit breaker tripping caused by leakage of electricity.
③   Input voltage is too low.
④   Defect of main PC-board.

The unit stops after running for a while.

| ①   The inlet or outlet of ODU or IDU are blocked by obstacle.
②   Control loop is abnormal
③   Set the unit in cooling mode when outdoor ambient temperature is higher than 43℃.

Poor cooling effect.

| ①   The filter is dirty.
②   Too heavy heat load of room (e.g. too many people).
③   Door or windows is open.
④   Inlet and outlet of IDU are blocked.
⑤   Setting temperature is too high.
⑥   Refrigerant is insufficient (e.g. refrigerant leakage).

Poor heating effect.

| ①   The filter is dirty.
②   Door or window is open.
③   Setting temperature is too low.
④   Refrigerant is insufficient (e.g. refrigerant leakage).
⑤   Outdoor ambient temperature is lower than -5℃.
⑥   Abnormality of control circuit.

Indoor fan doesn’t start up during heating.

| ①   At starting, the IDU fan could not operate till the heat exchange become hot, for preventing delivering the cool air.
②   At defrosting, the IDU fan stopped due to system switch to cooling mode. For preventing delivering the cool air, and resume operating after defrosting.

NOTE!
If air conditioner still fails to work normally after checking and handling as described above, please stop using it immediately and contact local service center for assistance.
