Frequently Asked Questions - LAU120HYV1 LG

How to clean the air conditioner's air filter?
Turn off and unplug the unit. Open the front panel, remove the air filter by lifting it slightly. Clean it with a vacuum or lukewarm water (max 40 °C) with a mild detergent. Dry it in the shade before reinstalling. Do this every 2 weeks.
What to do if the air conditioner is not cooling?
Check that the power cord is plugged in and the circuit breaker has not tripped. Make sure the air filter is clean. If the outdoor temperature is very high, use Jet cooling mode for fast cooling. Also ensure curtains or furniture are not blocking airflow.
How to use the timer function?
For auto on, press the ON button on the remote, set the time with the √ or ∧ keys, then confirm with SET CLEAR. For auto off, press OFF, set the minutes, and confirm. To cancel, press SET CLEAR once the function is selected.
What does the blinking light on the indoor unit mean?
The blinking light (interval of 2 seconds) indicates an error detected by the self diagnostic. Note the error code and contact your supplier or an authorized LG service center.
Can I use the air conditioner without the remote?
Yes, open the front panel and press the On/Off button on the indoor unit. The fan speed will then be set to High. The operating mode depends on the room temperature.
How to activate energy saving mode?
In cooling mode, press the ENERGY SAVING button on the remote. The 'e' icon appears. This mode slightly increases the temperature to reduce consumption while maintaining comfort.
What is the 3M filter for and how to maintain it?
The 3M filter is an additional filter for better air purification. It should be cleaned once a month with a vacuum (do not wash with water). It is recommended to replace it every 6 months.
The air conditioner makes a clicking or water flowing sound. Is this normal?
Yes, these sounds are normal. Clicking is due to the reversing valve moving during start or stop. Water flowing sounds are caused by refrigerant circulation. They usually disappear after a few moments.
How to adjust the airflow direction?
Use the SWING (or Soft air) button on the remote. For vertical adjustment, press SWING repeatedly until the desired direction. For horizontal adjustment, press SWING on models that allow it. The Soft air function deflects the airflow to avoid direct draft.
What to do in case of refrigerant gas leak?
If a refrigerant leak is detected, immediately ventilate the room by opening windows. Do not use the air conditioner and contact a qualified HVAC technician. Do not touch the leaking refrigerant.

TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY

Here are some tips that will help you minimize power consumption when you use your air conditioner.

  • 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 indoor air quickly.
  • Open windows regularly for ventilation as the indoor air quality may deteriorate if the air conditioner 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.

  • The information contained in the manual is intended for use by a qualified service technician familiar with safety procedures and equipped with the proper tools and test instruments.
  • Failure to read and follow all instructions in this manual can result in equipment malfunction, property damage, personal injury and/or death.

Power

  • Unplug the power plug immediately in the event of a blackout or thunderstorm. Failure to do so may result in fire or electric shock.
  • Always use a power plug and socket with a ground terminal. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or product failure.
  • Install a dedicated electric outlet and circuit breaker before you use the air conditioner. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or product failure.
  • Do not connect the ground wire to a gas pipe, a lightning rod or a telephone ground wire. It may result in electric shock or product failure.
  • Use a standard circuit breaker and fuse conforming with the rating of the air conditioner. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or product failure.
  • Make sure to check that the power cable plug is not dirty, loose or broken and then only insert the plug completely. It may result in electric shock or product failure.
  • Do not modify or extend the power cable. Scratches or peeling insulation on power cables or cords may result in fire or electric shock, and should be replaced.
  • Don't use a power cord, a plug or a loose socket which is damaged. It may result in fire or electric shock.
  • Do not use a damaged power cord or plug. It may result in electric shock or product failure.
  • Do not touch, operate or repair the air conditioner with wet hands. It may result in electric shock or product failure.
  • Make sure that the power plug is not damaged when you move the air conditioner. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or product failure.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE.

  • Do not place a heater or other heating appliances near the power cable. It may result in fire, electric shock, or product failure.
