• This appliance must be properly grounded.To minimize the risk of electric shock, you must alway plug into a grounded oulet.• Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from the power plug. • Attaching the adapter ground terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw does not ground the applianceunless the cover screw is metal and not insulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded through thehouse wiring.• If you have any doubt whether the air conditioner is properly grounded, have the wall receptacle andcircuit checked by a qualified electrician.We strongly discourage the use of an adapter due to potential safety hazards. For temporary connections,use only a genuine adapter, available from most local hardware stores. Ensure that the large slot in theadapter is aligned with the large slot in the receptacle for a proper polarity connection.To disconnect the power cord from the adapter, use one hand on each to avoid damaging the groundterminal. Avoid frequently unplugging the power cord as this can lead to eventual ground terminal damage.• Never use the appliance with a broken adapter. We strongly discourage the use of an extension cord due to potential safety hazards. For temporarysituations, use only CSA certified and UL listed 3-wire grounded extension cords, rated 15 A, 125 V.

Grille, Case, and Remote Control Turn the system o before cleaning. To clean, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use bleach or abrasives. Supply power must be disconnected before cleaning the indoor unit. AIR FILTERS The air lters behind the front grille should be checked and cleaned once every 2 weeks or more often if neccessary. Never use any of the followings:

• Water hotter than 40 °C Could cause deformation and/or discoloration.

• Volatile substances Could damage the surfaces of the air conditioner. Lift the front access panel and pull the lter tab slightly forward to remove the lter. Clean the lter with a vacuum or warm, soapy water.

• If dirt is conspicuous, wash with a solution of detergent in lukewarm water.

• If hot water (40 °C or more) is used, it may be deformed. After washing with water, dry well in the shade. Re-install the air lter. NOTICE The heat exchanger coils and panel vents of the outdoor unit should be checked regularly. If clogged with dirt or soot, the heat exchanger and panel vents may be professionally steam cleaned. Dirty or clogged coils will reduce the operating eciency of the system and cause higher operating costs.

Operation Tips When air conditioner is not going to be used for a long time. When the air conditioner is to be used again. Turn o the circuit breaker, and disconnect the plug. Remove the batteries from the remote control. Turn o the circuit breaker when the air conditioner is not going to be used for a long time. Dirt may collect and may cause a re. Clean the air lter and install it in the indoor unit. (Refer to page 12 for cleaning lters.) Check that the air inlet and outlet of the indoor/outdoor unit are not blocked. Do not overcool the room. This is not good for the health and wastes electricity. Make sure that the doors and windows are shut tight. Avoid opening doors and windows as much as possible to keep the cool air in the room. Keep blinds or curtains closed. Do not let direct sunshine enter the room when the air conditioner is in operation. Clean the air lter regularly. Blockages in the air lter reduce the airow and lower cooling and dehumidifying eects. Clean at least once every two weeks. Keep the room temperature uniform. Adjust the vertical and horizontal airow direction to ensure a uniform temperature in the room. Ventilate the room occasionally. Since windows are kept closed, it is a good idea to open them and ventilate the room now and then. Owner's Manual 13 ENGLISH Maintenance and ServiceTroubleshooting Check the following points before requesting repairs or service.... If the fault persists, please contact your dealer or service center. egap eeSnoitanalpxEesaC The air conditioner does not operate. The room has a peculiar odor. It seems that condensation is leaking from the air conditioner. Air conditioner does not operate for about 3 minutes when restarted. Does not cool or heat eectively. The air conditioner operation is noisy. Remote control display is faint, or no display at all. Crack sound is heard.

• Have you made a mistake in timer operation?

• Has the fuse blown or has the circuit breaker been tripped?

• Check that this is not a damp smell exuded by the walls, carpet, furniture, or cloth items in the room.

• Condensation occurs when the airow from the air conditioner cools the warm room air.

• This is the protector of the mechanism.

• Wait about three minutes and operation will begin.

• Is the air lter dirty? See air lter cleaning instructions.

• Has the temperature been set incorrectly?

• Are the indoor unit's air inlet or outlet vents obstructed?

• For a noise that sounds like water owing. -This is the sound of freon owing 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.

• Are the batteries depleted?

• Are the batteries inserted in the opposite (+) and (-) directions?

• This sound is generated by the expansion/constriction of the front panel, etc. due to changes of temperature.
