Special functions.

Refrigerant leakage detection

If the control electronics of the AC detects refrigerant leakage, error 'EC' is shown on the display and the indicator lights blink.

Louver angle memory function

If the user changes the angle of the horizontal louver with the remote controller, the new set angle is memorized. After restarting the AC, the horizontal louver will be positioned at the memorized angle. The position of the horizontal louver will change in case of power failure or repositioning of the louver with the remote controller.

SELF CLEAN function

This function is used after shutting down cooling operation to clean the heat exchanger on the indoor unit. It prevents the buildup of mildew on the indoor unit's heat exchanger and thus prevents bad odors coming from the indoor unit after a long pause in operation. The function needs to be started with the remote controller. When the SELF CLEAN function is activated, all timer settings will be canceled.

FOLLOW ME function

The remote controller has a temperature sensor installed. When the FOLLOW ME function is activated, the air conditioner controls the temperature at the position of the remote controller. There should be no obstacles between the indoor unit and the remote controller. External influences on the remote controller's temperature sensor must be eliminated (direct sunlight, other heat sources, etc.).

NOTE: This manual does not include remote controller operations; see the < > packed with the unit for details.

• The SWING and AIR DIRECTION buttons will be disabled when the air conditioner is not in operation (including when TIMER ON is set).
• Do not operate the air conditioner for long periods with the air flow direction set downward in cooling or dry mode. Otherwise, condensation may occur on the surface of the horizontal louver, causing moisture to drop onto the floor or furnishings.
• Do not move the horizontal louver manually. Always use the remote controller.
• When the air conditioner is started immediately after it was stopped, the horizontal louver might not move for approximately 10 seconds.
• The open angle of the horizontal louver should not be set too small, as COOLING or HEATING performance may be impaired due to too restricted air flow area.
• Do not operate the air conditioner with the horizontal louver closed.
• When the air conditioner is connected to the power supply for the first time (or after a power failure), the horizontal louver may generate a sound. This is normal operation!
• The open angle of the horizontal louver should not be set too small, as COOLING or HEATING performance may be impaired due to too restricted air flow area.

How the air conditioner works

Cooling

Heating

Auto operation

• When you set the air conditioner in AUTO mode, it will automatically select cooling, heating (cooling/heating models only), or fan only operation depending on what temperature you have selected and the room temperature.
• The air conditioner will control room temperature automatically around the temperature point set by you.
• If the AUTO mode is uncomfortable, you can select desired conditions manually.

Sleep operation

When you push SLEEP button on remote controller during cooling, heating (cooling only type without), or AUTO operation, the air conditioner will automatically increase (cooling) or decrease (heating) 1 per hour. The set temperature will be steady 2 hours later. And the air conditioner will be timer off in 7 hours. The fan speed will be automatically controlled. This feature can maintain the most comfortable temperature and save more energy for you.

Drying operation

• The dry mode will automatically select the dehumidifying operation based on the difference between the set temperature and the actual room temperature.
• The temperature is regulated while dehumidifying by repeating turning on and off of the cooling operation or fan only. The fan speed indicator will display AUTO and low speed will be used.

Optimal operation

To achieve optimal performance, please note the following:

• Adjust the air flow direction correctly so that it is not directed on people.
• Adjust the temperature to achieve the highest comfort level. Do not adjust the unit to excessive temperature levels.
• Close doors and windows on COOL or HEAT modes, or performance may be reduced.
• Use TIMER ON button on the remote controller to select a time you want to start your air conditioner.
• Do not put any object near air inlet or air outlet, as the efficiency of the air conditioner may be reduced and the air conditioner may stop running.
• Clean the air filter periodically, otherwise cooling or heating performance may be reduced.
• Do not operate unit with horizontal louver in closed position.

Cleaning the Grille, Case and Remote Controller

NOTE: Power supply must be disconnected before cleaning air conditioner.

- Turn off the system before cleaning. To clean, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use bleach or abrasives.

CAUTION!

A cloth dampened with cold water may be used on the indoor unit if it is very dirty. Then wipe it with a dry cloth.

Do not use a chemically treated cloth or duster to clean the unit.

Do not use gasoline, thinner, polishing powder, or similar solvents for cleaning. These may cause the plastic surface to crack or deform.

Never use water hotter than 40°C to clean the front panel, as it could cause deformation or discoloration.

Cleaning the Air Filter

A clogged air filter reduces the cooling efficiency of this unit. Please clean the filter once every 2 weeks.

1. Lift the indoor unit panel up to an angle until it stops with a clicking sound.
2. Take hold of the handle of the air filter and lift it up slightly to take it out from the filter holder, then pull it downwards.
3. Remove the AIR FILTER from the indoor unit.
4. Clean the AIR FILTER once every two weeks.
5. Clean the AIR FILTER with a vacuum cleaner or water, then dry it in a cool place.

1. Remove the air freshening filter from its support frame (the installation and removal method of the air freshening filter varies by model; see the pictures marked on the left).

Clean the air freshening filter at least once a month, and replace it every 4-5 months.

Clean it with a vacuum cleaner, then dry it in a cool place.

1. Install the air freshening filter back into position.
2. Insert the upper portion of the air filter back into the unit, taking care that the left and right edges line up correctly, and place the filter into position.

Maintenance

If you plan to idle the unit for a long time, perform the following:

1. Operate the fan for about half a day to dry the inside of the unit.
2. Stop the air conditioner and disconnect power. Remove the batteries from the remote controller.
3. The outdoor unit requires periodic maintenance and cleaning. Do not attempt to do this yourself. Contact your dealer or servicer.

Checks before operation

- Check that the wiring is not broken off or disconnected.

- Check that the air filter is installed.

- Check if the air outlet or inlet is blocked after the air conditioner has not been used for a long time.

▲ Warning

• Do not touch the plasma dust collector filter within 10 minutes after opening the front panel. It may cause electric shock.
• Do not touch the metal parts of the unit when removing the filter. Injuries can occur when handling sharp metal edges.
• Do not use water to clean inside the air conditioner.
• Exposure to water can destroy the insulation, leading to possible electric shock.
• When cleaning the unit, first make sure that the power and circuit breaker are turned off.

Operation tips

The following events may occur during normal operation.

1. Protection of the air conditioner.

Compressor protection

- The compressor can't restart for 3 minutes after it stops.

Anti-cold air (Cooling and heating models only)

The unit is designed not to blow cold air on HEAT mode when the indoor heat exchanger is in one of the following three situations and the set temperature has not been reached.

a) When heating has just started.

b) Defrosting.

c) Low temperature heating.

The indoor or outdoor fan stops running when defrosting (Cooling and heating models only).

Defrosting (Cooling and heating models only)

Frost may be generated on the outdoor unit during heat cycle when outdoor temperature is low and humidity is high, resulting in lower heating efficiency of the air conditioner.

During this condition, the air conditioner will stop heating operation and start defrosting automatically.

The time to defrost may vary from 4 to 10 minutes according to the outdoor temperature and the amount of frost built up on the outdoor unit.

2. A white mist coming out from the indoor unit

A white mist may be generated due to a large temperature difference between air inlet and air outlet on COOL mode in an indoor environment that has a high relative humidity.

A white mist may be generated due to moisture generated from the defrosting process when the air conditioner restarts in HEAT mode operation after defrosting.

3. Low noise of the air conditioner

You may hear a low hissing sound when the compressor is running or has just stopped running. This sound is the sound of the refrigerant flowing or coming to a stop.

- You can also hear a low "squeak" sound when the compressor is running or has just stopped running. This is caused by heat expansion and cold contraction of the plastic parts in the unit when the temperature is changing.

- A noise may be heard due to louver restoring to its original position when power is first turned on.

4. Dust is blown out from the indoor unit.

- This is a normal condition when the air conditioner has not been used for a long time or during first use of the unit.

1. A peculiar smell comes out from the indoor unit.

- This is caused by the indoor unit giving off smells permeated from building material, from furniture, or smoke.

1. The air conditioner turns to FAN only mode from COOL or HEAT (for cooling and heating models only) mode.

- When indoor temperature reaches the temperature setting on air conditioner, the compressor will stop automatically, and the air conditioner turns to FAN only mode. The compressor will start again when the indoor temperature rises on COOL mode or falls on HEAT mode (For cooling and heating models only) to the set point.

1. Dripping water may generate on the surface of the indoor unit when cooling in a high relatively humidity (relative humidity higher than 80%). Adjust the horizontal louver to the maximum air outlet position and select HIGH fan speed.
2. Heating mode (For cooling and heating models only)

The air conditioner draws in heat from the outdoor unit and releases it via the indoor unit during heating operation. When the outdoor temperature falls, heat drawn in by the air conditioner decreases accordingly. At the same time, heat loading of the air conditioner increases due to larger difference between indoor and outdoor temperature. If a comfortable temperature can't be achieved by the air conditioner, we suggest you use a supplementary heating device.

1. Auto-restart function

Power failure during operation will stop the unit completely. For the unit without Auto-restart feature, when the power restores, the OPERATION indicator on the indoor unit starts flashing. To restart the operation, push the ON/OFF button on the remote controller. For the unit with Auto-restart feature, when the power restores, the unit restarts automatically with all the previous settings preserved by the memory function.

1. Lightning or a wireless telephone operating nearby may cause the unit to malfunction. Disconnect the unit with power and then re-connect the unit with power again. Push the ON/OFF button on the remote controller to restart operation.
2. Outdoor low temperature protection (on some models)

Protection can be activated only in HEATING mode. The unit will stop operating and display on the indoor unit will show ' ' when outdoor temperature is lower than -15°C for one hour. The unit will restart automatically with all previous settings:

- When outdoor temperature is higher than -12°C for 10 minutes and compressor was not running for one hour.

- When outdoor temperature is higher than 5°C for more than 10 minutes.

Troubleshooting tips
