TEST MODE

Thermostat The thermostat is used to set the desired room temperature when the unit is being operated in the COOL MODE.

To set the desired room temperature, rotate the thermostat knob to the desired setting. After the set temperature is achieved the thermostat will automatically start and stop the compressor in order to maintain the desired set temperature. Rotate the thermostat knob clockwise for higher cool settings. Higher cool settings will provide lower room temperature. Rotate the thermostat knob anticlockwise for lower cool settings. Lower cool settings will provide higher room temperature. NOTE: 1. After rotate the thermostat knob to adjust the cool settings during operation in cool mode, do not rotate it again in 3 minutes otherwise the fuse may blow due to an overload of the unit. 2. Between 9~12 set points is the lowest temperature operation mode, 12 set point is TEST MODE. Caution: TEST MODE is designed for factory testing only, evaporator freeze up may occur when unit continues operating at TEST MODE,DO NOT SELECT TEST MODE DURING NORMAL OPERATION!

AUTO SWING

AUTO SWING OFF

ON

Horizontal air flow adjustment (automatically) When the AUTO SWING switch is turned to ON position, the vertical louvers automatically oscillate right and left sweeping the cold air alternately to obtain comfortable cooling. The vertical louvers will be stopped at any position when the AUTO SWING switch is turned OFF .

7

Vent Control The vent control is located above the control panel. The operation method is different on different models (see the following figures). For maximum cooling efficiency, CLOSE the vent. This will allow internal air circulation. OPEN the vent to discharge stale air.

CLOSE OPEN To open the vent, set the lever to the right position To close it, set the lever in the left position.

CLOSE VENT OPEN To open the vent, pull the lever toward To close it, push it in.

Control Panel Cover

Grasp the right of the control panel cover and pull it upwards to open it .

Close the control panel cover and press the right of the cover again until it snaps into the locked position.

Manual vertical air flow adjustment To adjust vertical air flow direction of the up or low horizontal louvers, adjust any one of the up or low horizontal louver blades. Always keep the top or bottom blades in horizontality. This can prevent water drops condensed on the front panel of the unit.

Air Filter The air filter behind the inlet grille should be checked and cleaned at least once every 2 weeks (or as necessary) to maintain optimal performance of the air conditioner.

!

CAUTION

!

NEVER operate the air conditioner without the air filter, as dust/dirt particles can cause equipment failure. 8

Air Filter How to remove the air filter 1. Hold the tabs under the front panel, then uplift it outwards, and remove the front panel. 2. Pinch the handle under the air filter and make the air filter arched, remove it from the slot from underside to upside. 3. Clean the filter with warm water. The water should be below 40OC to prevent distortion of the filter. 4. Rinse off and gently shake off excess water from the filter. Allow the filter to dry before re-install it. To prevent distortion of the filter, do not dry it in direct sunlight.

Drainage

Back Drainage

Different requirement for different type of air conditioner, there are two methods to treat the condensed water. See the following procedures to perform back drainage: 1. Fit the seal onto the drain joint (which is provided with the air conditioner accessory). 2. Remove the rubber plug from the back of the unit and insert the rubber plug into the bottom drain hole of the unit. 3. Attach the drain joint to the back of the cabinet where you remove the plug and rotate 90 O to securely assemble them. 4. Connect the drain joint with an extension drain hose . DRAIN JOINT

See the following procedures to perform bottom drainage: 1. Remove the rubber plug from the bottom of the cabinet and attach to the back drain hole. 2. Take out the drain tray and screws (which are provided with the air conditioner accessory). 3. Install the drain tray at the bottom of the unit and secure with screws provided. 4. Connect the drain hose to the outlet located at one side of the drain tray. You can purchase the drain hose or tubing locally to satisfy your particular needs . Suggestion: To ensure the condensed water drain off smoothly, always keep the drain outlet of the the drain tray downward when install the drain tray.

AWNING

About 10mm Over 50cm

FENCE

About 10mm Over 50cm

1. To avoid vibration and noise, make sure the unit is installed securely and firmly. 2. Install the unit where the sunlight does not shine directly. If the unit is installed under direct sunlight, build an awning to shade the cabinet. 3. There should be no obstacle, such as a fence or wall, within 50cm from the back of the cabinet because it will prevent heat radiation of the condenser. Restriction of outside air will greatly reduce the cooling efficiency of the air conditioner. 4. Install the unit a little obliquely outward not to leak the condensed water into the room (about 10mm with level). 5. Install the unit with its bottom portion 75~150cm above the floor level. 6. The power cord must be connected to an independent circuit. The yellow/green wire must be earthed.

CAUTION

* All side louvers of the cabinet must remain exposed to the outside of the structure. * The appliance shall be installed in accordance with local wiring regulations.

Installation of the Cabinet Step 1 Remove the air conditioner from the package, remove fixing screws and slide the air conditioner out from the cabinet (Refer to Installation Steps). Step 2 Drill holes in the wall to ensure the cabinet can be well supported. Holes from the outside through to the cavity should be sealed. The cabinet should slope down towards the rear by about 10mm to allow water drainage during operation. Step 3 Install and secure the cabinet into the wall. Ensure the foam seals are not damaged. Flash, seal or fill gaps around the inside and outside to provide satisfactory appearance and protection against the weather, insects and rodents.

TROUBLESHOOTING Troubleshooting Tips Please review the chart first before you call for service.

Normal Operation You may hear a pinging noise caused by water being picked up and thrown against the condenser on rainy days or when the humidity is high. This design feature helps remove moisture and improve efficiency. You may hear the thermostat click when the compressor turns on and off. Water will be collected in the base pan during high humidity or on rainy days .The water may overflow and drip from the outdoor side of the unit. The fan may continue operation when the compressor is off.

Abnormal Operation Problem

Air conditioner does not work

Possible Causes 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, switch off and disconnect /unplug the power cord. When power is restored, reconnect (plug in) the power cord, switch on the power and 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.

Airflow is restricted .

Air conditioner does not cool as it should

Air conditioner freezing up

What To Do

The air filter is dirty.

Clean the filter at least every 2 weeks. See the operating instruction section.

The room was hot.

When the air conditioner is first turned on, it takes some time for the room to cool down.

Cold air is escaping.

Check for open furnace floor registers and cold air returns. Set the air conditioner's vent to the closed position.

Cooling coils have iced up.

See Air Conditioner Freezing Up below.

Ice blocks the air flow and stops the air conditioner from cooling the room.

Set the fan at MED or HIGH until the ice melts.
