The timer can be set from 1 to 7 hours. 3 Delay ON/OFF Timer Delay ON - When the air conditioner is off, set it to automatically turn on from 1 to 24 hours later, at its previous mode and fan settings. Delay OFF - When the air conditioner is on, set it to automatically turn off from 1 to 24 hours later. NOTE ● Each press of the Timer button advances the timer by 1 hour. After the last press the display returns to the temperature setting. 4 Operation Mode Press the Mode button to cycle between 4 types of air conditioner operation: Cool / Energy Saver / Fan Only / Dry. Cool - This mode is ideal on hot days to cool and dehumidify the room quickly. Use the Temp buttons to set the desired room temperature and use the Fan Speed button to set the desired fan circulation speed. Energy Saver - In this mode the compressor and fan turn off when the set temperature is achieved. Approximately every 3 minutes the fan turns on to allow the unit sensor to accurately determine if more cooling is needed. Fan Only - In this mode the fan circulates air but the compressor does not run. Use the Fan Speed button to set fan speed to High, Medium or Low. In this mode, you cannot adjust the set temperature. Dry - This mode is ideal for rainy and damp days to dehumidify the room rather removed from the room by the combination of compressor operation and the fan speed off once the set temperature is reached. Fan speed cannot be adjusted in Dry mode. 14 5 OPERATION Clean Filter The Clean Filter LED lights up to notify you Wireless Remote Control and Temp together on the control panel to turn off the Clean Filter light. If the display screen of the remote control begins to fade, replace the batteries. Insert AAA (1.5 V) batteries before using the remote control.

The thermostat can be set between 16 °C–30 °C (60 °F–86 °F). Press or arrows to increase or decrease temperature setting. 8 Energy Saver In this mode the compressor and fan turn off when the set temperature is achieved. Approximately every 3 minutes the fan turns on to allow the unit sensor to accurately determine if more cooling is needed. 9 Clear Cancel Sleep and Timer settings. NOTE ● Auto Restart: If the air conditioner turns off due to a power outage, it will restart automatically once the power is restored, with the same settings as were set before the unit turned off. ● Energy Saver: The unit defaults to the Energy Saver mode each time the unit is switched on except in Fan mode or when power is restored after an electrical power outage. ● The remote control will not function properly if the AC infrared sensor is exposed to direct light or if there are obstacles between the remote controller and the air conditioner. NOTE ● New batteries are supplied with the air conditioner for use in the remote control. ● Do not use a rechargeable battery. Make sure that the battery is new. ● In order to prevent discharge, remove the battery from the remote control if the air conditioner is not going to be used for an extended period of time. ● Keep the remote control away from extremely hot or humid places. ● To maintain optimal operation of the remote control, the remote sensor should not be exposed to direct sunlight.

TROUBLESHOOTING 17 TROUBLESHOOTING Before Calling for Service The appliance is equipped with an automatic error-monitoring system to detect and diagnose problems at an early stage. If the appliance does not function properly or does not function at all, check the following before you call for service. Normal Sounds You May Hear 1 2 5 4 3 1 High Pitched Chatter 2 Sound of Rushing Air At the front of the unit, you may hear the sound of rushing air being moved by the fan. 3 Gurgle/Hiss Gurgling or hissing noise may be heard due to refrigerant passing through evaporator during normal operation. 4 Vibration Unit may vibrate and make noise because of poor wall or window construction or incorrect installation. 5 Pinging or Swishing Droplets of water hitting condenser during normal operation may cause pinging or swishing sounds. 18 TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Air conditioner does not start. Possible Cause Solutions The air conditioner is unplugged. Make sure the air conditioner plug is pushed completely into the outlet. The fuse is blown/circuit breaker is tripped. Check the house fuse/circuit breaker box and replace the fuse or reset the breaker. Power failure. If power failure occurs, turn the mode control to off. When power is restored, wait 3 minutes to restart the air conditioner to prevent tripping of the compressor overload. Make sure there are no curtains, blinds, or furniture blocking the front of the air conditioner. The temp control may not be set correctly. Air conditioner does not cool as it should. Set the desired temperature to a level lower than the current temperature. weeks. See the 'MAINTENANCE' section. The room may have been hot. Cold air is escaping. Cooling coils have iced up.

TROUBLESHOOTING 19 Problem Possible Cause Solutions Water drips indoors. The air conditioner is not tilted to the outside. For proper water disposal, make sure the air conditioner slants slightly from the cabinet front to the rear. Water collects in base pan. Moisture removed from air and drains into base pan. This is normal for a short period in areas with little humidity; normal for a longer period in very humid areas. Outside temperature extremely hot. Refer to installation instructions or check with installer. Air movement sound. This is normal. If too loud, set to lower FAN setting. Window vibration - poor installation. Refer to installation instructions or check with installer. Remote control not located within range. Place remote control within 6 mm (20 ft) & 120° radius of the front of the unit. Remote control signal obstructed. Remove obstruction. Set temperature too low. Increase set temperature. Air conditioner turns on and off rapidly. Noise when unit is cooling. Remote sensing deactivating prematurely. Room too cold. NOTE ● If you see "CH" in the display, please call (02)902-5544.
