During Auto Operation:

☐ You cannot switch the indoor fan speed. It has already been set by the Fuzzy rule.
☐ If the system is not operating as desired, manually switch to another mode. The system will not automatically switch from the cooling mode to the heating mode, or from heating to cooling, it must be done by manually resetting.
☐ During Auto Operation, pressing the chaos swing button makes the horizontal louvers swing up and down automatically. If you want to stop auto-swing, press the chaos swing button again.

During Healthy Dehumidification Operation:

☐ If you select the dehumidification mode on the operation selection button, the A/C starts to run the dehumidification function, automatically setting the room temp. and airflow volume to the best condition for dehumidification based on the sensed current room temp.
In this case, however, the setting temp. is not displayed in the remote control and you are not able to control the room temp. either.
During the healthy dehumidification function, the airflow volume is automatically set according to the optimization algorithm responding to the current room temp. status and makes the room condition healthy and comfortable even in the high humidity season.

NOTE:

☐ During the JET COOL function at any moment, the A/C starts to blow the cool air at extremely high speed for 30 minutes setting the room temp. automatically to 18°C. It is especially used to cool the room temp. in the shortest time in a hot summer. In heat pump mode or neuro fuzzy mode however, the JET COOL function is not available.

☐ In order to return to the normal cooling mode from the JET COOL mode, you just press either the operation mode selection button, airflow volume selection or temp. setting button or the JET COOL button again.

Press the Start/Stop button to start the unit.

Open the door on the remote control. Press Chaos Swing button and the louvers will swing up and down. Press the Chaos Swing button again to set the vertical louver at the desired airflow direction.

Note:

☐ If you press the CHAOS swing button, the horizontal airflow direction is changed automatically based on the CHAOS algorithm to distribute the air in the room evenly and at the same time to make the human body feel most comfortable, as if enjoying a natural breeze.
□ Always use the remote control to adjust the up/down airflow direction. Manually moving the vertical airflow direction louver by hand could damage the air conditioner.
☐ When the unit is shut off, the up/down airflow direction louver will close the air outlet vent of the system.

To adjust left/right(Horizontal Airflow) direction

Caution : Ensure unit is turned off before adjusting the horizontal airflow direction control. Carefully open vertical louver to allow access to the horizontal airflow direction.

Adjust the left/right airflow direction by hand.

Air Circulation Mode

Circulates the room air without cooling or heating.

Press the Start/Stop button. the unit will respond with a beep.

Open the door on the remote control. Press the Air Circulation button. Close the door on the remote control. Now each time that you press the Indoor Fan Speed Selector, the fan speed is shifted from low to CHAOS and back to low again.

graph LR
    A["CHAOS Air"] --> B["Fan speed is on low."]
    B --> C["Fan speed is on medium."]
    C --> D["Fan speed is on high."]

Note:

☐ CHAOS Air economizes power consumption and prevents overcooling. The fan speed is automatically changed from high to low or vice versa, depending on the ambient temperature.

Negative Ion (Option)

Negative ions are known as 'the vitamins of the air'. In contrast, polluted air contains positive ions, which are one of the major contributors to "Sick Building Syndrome", where people suffer from headaches, stress, and fatigue.

When the air conditioner is not going to be used for a long time.

When air conditioner is not going to be used for a long time.

Operate the air conditioner on Air circulation mode (Refer to page 14) for 2 to 3 hours.

• This will dry out the internal mechanisms.

Turn off the circuit breaker, and disconnect the plug.

Turn off the circuit breaker when the air conditioner is not going to be used for a long time.

Dirt may collect and may cause a fire.

Remove the batteries from the remote control.

When the air conditioner is to be used again.

Clean the air filter and install it in the indoor unit.

(Refer to page 16 for cleaning filters.)

Check that the air inlet and outlet of the indoor/outdoor unit are not blocked.

Operation Tips

This is not good for the health and wastes electricity.

Avoid opening doors and windows as much as possible to keep the cool air in the room.

Do not let direct sunshine enter the room when the air conditioner is in operation.

Blockages in the air filter reduce the airflow and lower cooling and dehumidifying effects. Clean at least once every two weeks.

Adjust the vertical and horizontal airflow direction to ensure a uniform temperature in the room.

Since windows are kept closed, it is a good idea to open them and ventilate the room now and then.

Troubleshooting Tips! Save time and money!

Check the following points before requesting repairs or service.... If the fault persists, please contact your dealer or service center.

Case	Explanation	See page
The air conditioner does not operate.	·Have you made a mistake in timer operation?	12
	·Has the fuse blown or has the circuit breaker been tripped?	-
The room has a peculiar odor.	·Check that this is not a damp smell exuded by the walls, carpet, furniture, or cloth items in the room.	-
It seems that condensation is leaking from the air conditioner.	·Condensation occurs when the airflow from the air conditioner cools the warm room air.	-
Air conditioner does not operate for about 3 minutes when restarted.	·This is the protector of the mechanism.·Wait about three minutes and operation will begin.	-
Does not cool or heat effectively.	·Is the air filter dirty? See air filter cleaning instructions.	16
	·Has the temperature been set incorrectly?	7, 10
	·Are the indoor unit's air inlet or outlet vents obstructed?	-
The air conditioner operation is noisy.	·For a noise that sounds like water flowing.-This is the sound of freon flowing inside the air conditioner unit.·For a noise that sounds like the compressed air releasing into atmosphere.-This is the sound of the dehumidifying water being processed inside the air conditioning unit.	-
Remote control display is faint, or no display at all.	·Are the batteries depleted?·Are the batteries inserted in the opposite (+) and (-) directions?	4
Crack sound is heard.	·This sound is generated by the expansion/constriction of the front panel, etc. due to changes of temperature.	-

NOTE
WATER RESISTANT: The outdoor side of this appliance is WATER RESISTANT.
The indoor side is not water resistant and should not be exposed to excess water.
