AIR CONDITIONER Please read this manual carefully before operating your set and retain it for future reference. www.lg.com

Here are some tips that will help you minimize the power consumption when you use the air conditioner. You can use your air conditioner more efficiently by referring to the instructions below:

• Do not cool excessively indoors. This may be harmful for your health and may consume more electricity.

• Block sunlight with blinds or curtains while you are operating the air conditioner.

• Keep doors or windows closed tightly while you are operating the air conditioner.

• Adjust the direction of the air flow vertically or horizontally to circulate indoor air.

• Speed up the fan to cool or warm indoor air quickly, in a short period of time.

• Open windows regularly for ventilation as the indoor air quality may deteriorate if the air con- ditioner is used for many hours.

• Clean the air filter once every 2 weeks. Dust and impurities collected in the air filter may block the air flow or weaken the cooling / dehumidifying functions.

ENGLISH TROUBLESHOOTING Self-diagnosis function This product has a built-in self-diagnosis function. If an error occurs, the lamp of the indoor unit will blink in 2 second intervals. If this occurs, contact your local dealer or service center. Before requesting service Please check the following before you contact the service center. If the problem persists, contact your local service center. Problem Possible causes Corrective action There is a burning smell and a strange sound coming from the unit.

Turn off the air conditioner, unplug the power cord and contact the service center. Water leaks from the indoor unit even when the humidity level is low. The power cord is damaged or generating excessive heat. A switch, a circuit breaker (safety, ground) or a fuse is not operated properly. The air conditioner does not work. The air conditioner is unplugged. Check whether the power cord is plugged into the outlet. A fuse is blown or the power supply is blocked. Replace the fuse or check if the circuit breaker has tripped. A power failure has occurred. Turn off the air conditioner when a power failure occurs. When the power is restored, wait 3 minutes, and then turn on the air conditioner. The voltage is too high or too low. Check if the circuit breaker has tripped. The air conditioner turned off automati- cally at a preset time. Press the power button again.20 TROUBLESHOOTING ENGLISH Problem Possible causes Corrective action The air conditioner does not generate cool air. Air is not circulating properly. Make sure that there are no curtains, blinds or furniture blocking the front of the air conditioner. The air filter is dirty. Clean the air filter once every 2 weeks. See “Cleaning Air Filter” for more infor- mation. The room tempera- ture is too high. In summer, it may take some time to cool indoor air. In this case, select the jet cool operation to cool indoor air quickly. Cold air is escaping from the room. Make sure that no cold air is escaping through ventilation points in the room. The desired tempera- ture is higher than the set temperature. Set the desired temperature to a level lower than the current temperature. There is a heating source nearby. Avoid using a heat generator such as an electric oven or a gas burner while the air conditioner is in operation. Air circulation opera- tion is selected. In the air circulation operation, air blows from the air conditioner without cooling or heating the indoor air. Switch the opera- tion mode to the cooling operation. It is not possible to adjust the fan speed. The auto operation, jet operation or dehu- midifying operation is selected. In some operation modes, such as the jet or dehumidifying operation modes, you cannot adjust the fan speed. Select an op- eration mode in which you can adjust the fan speed. It is not possible to adjust the temperature. The air circulation op- eration or jet opera- tion is selected.
