Please observe the following safety precautions when using your air conditioner. Failure or negligence in observing these safety precautions could cause fire, electrical shock or personal injury.

WARNING:

This sign warns of the risk of death or serious injury.

CAUTION:

This sign warns of the risk of injury or damage to property.

INSTALLATION PRECAUTION

• Do not install, remove and reinstall the unit yourself. Improper installation may cause Leakage, electric shock or fire. Please engage an authorized dealer or specialist for the installation work.
• Do not add or replace refrigerants other than the specified type. It may cause product damage, burst, and injury. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid hazards.
• The appliance shall be stored in a room without continuously operating ignition sources (for example open flames, an operating gas appliance or an operating electric heater)

PARTS IDENTIFICATION

**Main Control Panel

AIR CONDITIONER OPERATION

1. Main Control Knob
   Set to LOW COOL or HIGH COOL as desired. (FAN setting operates the fan only.)
   CAUTION: If the main control knob is turned off or changed to a fan setting from a cooling operation setting, WAIT at least 3 minutes before resetting to cooling operation.

2. Thermostat Control Knob
   Set the thermostat control knob to your desired setting. (Usually, 6 – 7 is recommended). If the room temperature is not as desired after a reasonable period of time, turn the thermostat control knob clockwise to cool the room more or counterclockwise to cool the room less. When the thermostat control knob is set to 10, moisture may freeze on the evaporator fins and prevent effective cooling. If this happens, turn the Main Control Knob to HIGH FAN and the Thermostat Control Knob counter-clockwise. This will quickly defrost the evaporator fins to resume normal cooling operation.

3. Air Swing Switch
   (Airflow direction adjustment Side-to-Side) To obtain a fix airflow direction, set the air swing switch to “ON” for the vanes to swing from side to side until the desired flow direction is reached, then switch it to “OFF”. For continuous side-to-side air cirulation set the air swing switch to “ON”.

AIR CONDITIONER INSTALLATION

CHOOSING THE INSTALLATION LOCATION

• When installing, use the nearest power outlet. Make sure the power outlet is easy to reach so you can quickly disconnect your air conditioner in case of an emergency.
• Ensure that the air conditioner is well supported, securely fastened, easily reachable and not obstructed.
• Avoid locations with: salty or sulfurous air, draughts, dampness and flammable gas.
• If you install the drainage system, be sure to channel the condensed water to a suitable location.
• Covers, obstructions and unsteady support may cause excessive operating noise and vibration. The rear end of the air conditioner is splashproof. You don’t need to shield or cover it.
• R32 refrigerant air conditioner installation and maintenance should be done by a competent person.

**PREPARATIONS BEFORE INSTALLATION Dimension

**

• There should not be any obstacles surrounding the unit.
• Prepare and install hole slightly bigger than the cabinet size.
• Left and right side of the unit should be at least 15 cm away from the wall.
• The minimum installation height is 75cm. (Based on IEC 60335-2-40, there is no restriction for the minimum installation floor area since the refrigerant charge is less than 1.224kg.

CAUTION POINT DURING INSTALLATION

When installing air conditioner a glass window or thin partition, fix the vertical and side supporting bar to the concrete wall in order to support the weight of the air-conditioner and reduce the vibration that is being transferred to the glass window or thin partition. This can minimize the noise problem caused by improper installation.

• Proposed to use 1/8” x 1-1/4” “angle aluminum for installation frame and side supporting bar.

HELPFUL INFORMATION & ENERGY-SAVING HINTS

Auto Restart Control

• The operation will automatically resume under the previous operation mode.
• If the unit was set to TIMER mode or SLEEP mode, the operation will not resume automatically. Timer Setting
• When a power failure occurs, the timer setting is canceled. Once power returns, reset the timer.

ENERGY SAVING HINTS

• Clean the air filter every 2 weeks. Regular cleaning of the air filter preserves efficiency.
• Keeping ventilation set to CLOSE closed keeps cool air in and hor air out.
• Avoid direct sunlight and heat
• For health, reasons do not overcook your room.
• Your air conditioner’s cooling capacity should match your room size.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Always turn off the air conditioner and the main power supply before cleaning the unit. Switch off the power supply if the unit is not going to be used for a long period of time.

• Clean the cabinet, front grille with mild soap or detergent and lukewarm water.
• The front intake grille can be easily removed for cleaning purposes (refer to Remove the front intake grille procedures). Gently wash it with water and a sponge.
• The filter can be easily cleaned using a vacuum cleaner. Vacuum the front of the filter and then wash the rear with water. If it is badly spoiled, wash with a mild household detergent.
• Do not clean with benzene, thinner, scouring powder or cloth soaked in caustic chemicals.
• If the unit is extremely dirty, heat transfer is less Efficient and the unit may not cool effectively. Contact Shun Hing Electric Service Center Ltd. for an annual check. (Annual check is not covered by the warranty.) If the air filter becomes clogged with dust, the cooling capacity will drop, and 6% of the electricity used to operate the air conditioner will be wasted.
  NOTE: Do not dry the front panel or the air filter in direct sunlight.

PRE-SEASON INSPECTION
Is the discharged air cold? After 15 minutes of operation, it is normal for the temperature difference between intake and outlet air to be more than 8°C for cooling. Are the air intake and outlet vanes of the indoor and outdoor side obstructed? Are the remote control batteries weak?
