[ Features of Heating Operations ]

Basic principles and performances

• The unit absorbs heat from the outdoors air and transfers it indoors to heat the room air. The heating capabilities through this principle of heat pump vary with the increase/decrease of the temperature outside.
• It only needs a fairly short time for such hot air circulation system to raise the room temperature.
• When the outdoor air temperature is very low, the system can be used together with other heating devices. Good ventilation should be maintained to ensure safety and prevent accidents.

Defrosting

When the outdoor air temperature is very low and humidity is very high, frosting will occur to the heat exchanger of the outdoor unit, which has negative impacts upon the efficiency of the heating performance. In such case the automatic defrosting function will come into play. The heating operation will be stopped for 5-10 minutes to defrost.

• The fans of both outdoor and indoor units are stopped. During the defrosting operation, the pilot light will flash slowly.
• During the defrosting, the outdoor unit might generate some steam; it is caused by fast defrosting and is not a malfunction.
  • Upon the completion of the defrosting process, the heating operation is resumed.

The air conditioner must be turned off and unplugged from wall outlet before carrying out maintenance.

【Maintenance】

Cleaning of the air filter screen (Standard intervals should be once every two weeks). 1 Check if there are any blockages in the intake and outlet vents of the indoor and outdoor units 2 Check if the installation stand is corroded or rusty. 3 Check if the machine is properly grounded. 4 Check if the air filter is clean. 5 Connect to the power source. 6 Insert batteries in the remote control. 1 Remove the air filter screen from the unit. • Gently press the lower ends of the grid and open it. • Gently pull up the air filter screen and take it out towards your body. 2 Clean the air filter screen. If the screen is very dirty, please use lukewarm water (about 30 °C) to clean it. Dry it fully after cleaning. Note: • Do not use boiling water to clean the screen • Do not dry over a fire. • Do not exert too much fore in pulling and stretching the screen. 3 Install the air filter screen To operate the unit without the air filter screen on will make the interior of the machine dirty which might lead to poor performances or damages to the units Clean the air conditioner • Use a soft and dry cloth to rub the air conditioner, or use a vacuum cleaner to clean it. • If the air conditioner is very dirty, use a piece of cloth and soak it with neutral household detergent and clean it.

1. Set the temperature at 30^ C and operate in fan mode for about half a day.
   To dry the interior of the units
2. Switch the unit off.
   The air conditioner will consume about 5W of electric power after the machine is turne off. For the purpose of energy saving and safety, it is advisable to disconnect during the non-operational seasons.
3. Clean and install the air filter screen.
4. Clean the indoor and outdoor units.
5. Take the batteries out from the remote control.

Note:

If the air filter screen is blocked by dust or dirt, cooling and heating will be affected while the operation noise and power consumption will increase.

Therefore, the air filter screen should be cleaned regularly.

Please check the following before requesting after-sales service from your dealer.

The air conditioner does not operate at all. Is the power plug in a wall outlet? Is the time set to "ON" Is there a power failure or a blown fuse?

Room temperature cannot be controlled (Too cold or too hot) Is the room temperature setting too low or too high?

Poor cooling or heating performance. Is the room temperature setting suitable? Suitable TEMR Are the air filters clean (Not clogged)? Are window(s) and door(s) open?

If the air conditioner does not operate properly even after conducting the above checks, when the doubt still remains even after consulting page 11 or in case that such phenomena as those shown below, turn off the power and contact your distributor.

Poor cooling performance. Is direct sunlight entering the room? Is there a heat source in the room? Are there too many people in the room?

Disconnect immediately from power supply and inform your distributor about the following situations:

Fuse or breaker often blowss	Power plug or cord is excessively hot. n	Insulation power plug or cord is
Malfunction occurs to TV, radio or other devices.	Switchdoesnot work[IMAGE]	Abnormal noise during operation
When malfunctioning is observed when the RUN button is pressed, disconnect and restart after 3 minutes.

【Please remember the following

The unit cannot be restarted right after shut down (pilot light is on)rational	Restart is not available for 3 minutes after the unit shuts down in order to protect the unitThree-minute protection timer incorporated in the microcomputer actuates automatically, Except that power is connected, this function does not actuate.
Air is not blown out at starting of heating operation	Air blow stops to prevent blowing out of cold air until the indoor heat exchanger is warmed up. (2 to 5 min) (HOT KEEP)
Air is not blown out for 6 to 12 min, at heating operation	When outdoor temperature is low and the humidity is high, the unit sometimes conducts defrosting operation automatically. Please wait. During defrosting, water or steam is released from the outdoor unit.
Air is not blown out at DRY operation. Indoor fan som	sometimes stops to prevent vapor or dehumidified moisture and to save energy.
Mist is blown out at COOL operation.	This phenomenon sometimes occurs when the temperature and humidity of the room are very high, but it will disappear with the decrease of the temperature and humidity.
Odor is sent out.	Air blown out during operation may smell. This is the smell of tobacco or cosmetics stuck to the unit.
Noise like cracking sound is heard.	This is caused by the refrigerant that is circulating inside the unit.
Noise is heard, cracking sound. After a power stoppage or after disconnecting the power supply.	This is caused by heat expansion or contraction of plastics.
Operation cannot be restarted even if the power supply is resumed.	The memory of the microcomputer is cleared. Operate the remote control again to restart the operation.
Remote control signals are not received.	Remote control signals may not be received when the sensor on the air conditioner is exposed to direct sunlight or strong lighting. In that case, cover the windows or darken the lighting.
Moisture may form on the air outlet grilles.	If the unit operates for a long period at high humidity, moisture may form on the air outlet grilles and drip down.
