FEATURES
The unit provides the following features for added comport and safety.
Time Delay
If ON/OFF is pressed too soon after a stop, the compressor will not start
for 3 to 4 minutes due to the inherent protection against frequent compressor
cycling. The unit only emits an audible beep when the signals are received
correctly
Heating
If the unit is in HEATING mode, there is a delay when the fan starts. The
fan starts only after the coil is warmed up to prevent cold blow.
Auto Defrost Operation
In the HEATING mode, if the outdoor coil is frosted, the indoor fan and
outdoor fan turns off while the system removes the frost on the outdoor coil.
The system automatically reverts to normal operation when frost is removed
from the outdoor unit.
Auto Start
If the power fails while the unit is operating, the unit stores the operating
condition, and it will start operation automatically under those conditions
when the power is restored.
Auto-Restart (some units)
If the unit loses power, it automatically restarts with the prior settings
once power has been restored.
Anti-mildew (some units)
When turning off the unit from COOL, AUTO (COOL), or DRY modes, the air
conditioner continues to operate at very low power to dry up any condensed
water and prevent mildew growth.
Wireless Control (some units)
Wireless control allows users to control the air conditioner using a mobile
phone and a wireless connection. For the USB device access, replacement,
maintenance operations must be carried out by professional staff.
Louver Angle Memory (some units)
When turning on the unit, the louver automatically resumes its former angle.
Active Clean (some units)
The Active Clean Technology washes away dust, mold, and grease
that may cause odors when it adheres to the heat exchanger by automatically
freezing and then rapidly thawing the frost. The operation produces more
condensed water to improve the cleaning effect.
After cleaning, the blower wheel keeps operating with hot air to blow dry the evaporator, thus preventing the growth of mold and keeping the inside clean. When this function is turned on, the indoor unit window displays CL. After 20 to 45 minutes, the unit turns off automatically and cancels the function.
Breeze Away (some units)
This feature avoids direct air flow from blowing on inhabitants.
Refrigerant Leak Detection (some units)
The indoor unit automatically displays EL0C when it detects refrigerant
leakage.
Occupancy Sensor (some units)
The system is controlled intelligently under the Occupancy Sensor mode. The
feature detects the movement in the room. In COOLING mode, when occupants are
away for 30 minutes, the unit automatically lowers the frequency to save
energy (for Inverter models only). And the unit automatically starts and
resumes operation when movement is detected.
Resetting the Remote Control
If the batteries in the remote control are removed, the current settings cancel and the control returns to the initial settings and enters the STANDBY mode. Push ON/OFF to activate.
NOTE: For multi-zone air conditioners, the following functions are not available: ACTIVE CLEAN, SILENCE, BREEZE AWAY, REFRIGERANT LEAKAGE DETECTION and ECO.
Setting Vertical Angle of Air Flow
While the unit is on, press SWING on the remote control to set the direction (vertical angle) of airflow.
NOTE: When using the COOL or DRY mode, do not set the louver at too vertical an angle for long periods of time. Doing so can cause water to condense on the louver blade, which may drop on your floor or furnishings.
When using the COOL or HEAT mode, setting the louver at too vertical an angle can reduce the performance of the unit due to restricted air flow.
Setting Horizontal Angle of Air Flow
The horizontal angle of the airflow must be set manually. Grip the deflector rod (see Fig. 11 — on page 10) and manually adjust it to your preferred direction. For some units, the horizontal angle of the airflow can be set by remote control.
Manual Operation (without remote control)
The manual button is intended for testing purposes and emergency operation only. Please do not use this function unless the remote control is lost and it is absolutely necessary. To restore regular operation, use the remote control to activate the unit. The unit must be turned off before manual operation.
Use the following steps to operate the unit manually:
- Locate the MANUAL CONTROL button on the right-hand side panel of the unit.
- Press MANUAL CONTROL one time to activate FORCED AUTO mode.
- Press MANUAL CONTROL again to activate the FORCED COOLING mode.
- Press MANUAL CONTROL a third time to turn the unit off

generated from the defrosting process.
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 con- traction 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 makes 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.
