4 Check the side of the front cover for proper assembly of the micro dust filter.

NOTE

  • The micro dust filter can break when bent.
  • If the micro dust filter is not assembled correctly, dust and other substances can enter the indoor unit.
  • When dust accumulates in the filter, cooling efficiency decreases, a rough air rustling sound is heard, and the electricity bill increases, so clean the micro dust filter once a month and replace it every 6 months.

Replacing the triple filter (Optional)

Using activated carbon, it effectively removes the odor of enclosed spaces.

1 Remove the micro dust filter.

- Refer to the section with instructions for disassembling and cleaning the micro dust filter.

2 Remove the triple filter (1).

3 Install the new triple filter (①) into the micro dust filter (②).

Technical diagram showing a mechanical or architectural component with labeled parts 1 and 2, and an arrow indicating direction.

4 Reassemble the triple micro dust filter in the reverse order of disassembly.

CAUTION

  • The front panel may fall and cause injury, so be careful.
  • After replacing the filter, during reinstallation, fully insert the entire micro dust filter. (If not fully inserted, it may cause deterioration of performance or other product malfunctions.)
  • Operating the air conditioner without a filter causes performance deterioration and malfunction of the air conditioner.
  • Do not disassemble the triple filter yourself, and prevent it from being damaged or distorted. This may lead to the product being unable to operate or malfunction due to improper handling.
  • When changing the filter, be careful not to let it fall under the product.
  • For safety, turn off the product's power before cleaning or replacement, and unplug the plug or turn off the main switch.

NOTE

  • The shape and composition of the filter may vary by model.
  • If you need a replacement filter, you can purchase it at a nearby service center.
  • In cases of heavy contamination or when the filter's performance is reduced, replace it with a new filter.
  • Do not open the packaging while storing the triple filter. (The filter's lifespan will be reduced.)
  • Be careful that water does not enter the triple filter. (The filter's performance will be reduced.)

  • LG ThinW is not responsible for any network connection problems or any interference, malfunctions, or errors caused by the network connection.
  • If the device has trouble connecting to the Wi-Fi network, it may be too far from the router. Purchase a Wi-Fi repeater (range extender) to boost the Wi-Fi signal.
  • Connecting to the Wi-Fi network may not be successful or the connection may be interrupted due to the home network environment.
  • The network connection may not work properly depending on the internet service provider.
  • The wireless network environment may cause the wireless network to be slow.
  • The device cannot be registered due to wireless signal transmission issues. Disconnect the device and wait about a minute before trying again.
  • If the firewall is enabled on the wireless router, disable it or add an exception.
  • The wireless network name (SSID) should be a combination of English letters and numbers. (Do not use special characters.)
  • The smartphone user interface (UI) may vary depending on the operating system (OS) and manufacturer.
  • If the router's security protocol is set to WEP, you may not be able to set up the network. Set a different security protocol (WPA2 is recommended) and register the device again.

  • Do not disassemble the triple filter yourself and prevent its damage or deformation. This may lead to product malfunction or failure due to improper operation.
  • When replacing the filter, be careful not to drop it under the product.
  • For safety, before cleaning or replacement, turn off the product's power and unplug the power plug or turn off the main power switch.
