Safety Precautions

Read Safety Precautions Before Operation

WARNING: This symbol indicates the possibility of personnel injury or loss of life.

CAUTION: This symbol indicates the possibility of property damage or serious consequences.

General Warnings

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Warnings for Product Use

• If an abnormal situation arises (like a burning smell), immediately turn off the unit and disconnect the power. Call your dealer for instructions to avoid electric shock, fire or injury.
• Do not insert fingers, rods or other objects into the air inlet or outlet. This may cause injury, since the fan may be rotating at high speeds.
• Do not use flammable sprays such as hair spray, lacquer or paint near the unit. This may cause fire or combustion.
• Do not operate the air conditioner in places near or around combustible gases. Emitted gas may collect around the unit and cause explosion.
• Do not operate your air conditioner in a wet room such as a bathroom or laundry room. Too much exposure to water can cause electrical components to short circuit.
• Do not expose your body directly to cool air for a prolonged period of time.
• Do not allow children to play with the air conditioner. Children must be supervised around the unit at all times.
• If the air conditioner is used together with burners or other heating devices, thoroughly ventilate the room to avoid oxygen deficiency.
• In certain functional environments, such as kitchens, server rooms, etc., the use of specially designed air-conditioning units is highly recommended.

Cleaning and Maintenance Warnings

• Turn off the device and disconnect the power before cleaning. Failure to do so can cause electrical shock.
• Do not clean the air conditioner with excessive amounts of water.
• Do not clean the air conditioner with combustible cleaning agents. Combustible cleaning agents can cause fire or deformation.

Cautionary Notes

• Turn off the air conditioner and disconnect the power if you are not going to use it for a long time.
• Turn off and unplug the unit during storms.
• Make sure that water condensation can drain unhindered from the unit.
• Do not operate the air conditioner with wet hands. This may cause electric shock.
• Do not use the device for any other purpose than its intended use.
• Do not climb onto or place objects on top of the outdoor unit.
• Do not allow the air conditioner to operate for long periods of time with doors or windows open, or if the humidity is very high.

Electrical Warnings

• Only use the specified power cord. If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons to avoid a hazard.
• Keep power plug clean. Remove any dust or grime that accumulates on or around the plug. Dirty plugs can cause fire or electric shock.
• Do not pull power cord to unplug unit. Hold the plug firmly and pull it from the outlet. Pulling directly on the cord can damage it, which can lead to fire or electric shock.
• Do not modify the length of the power supply cord or use an extension cord to power the unit.
• Do not share the electrical outlet with other appliances. Improper or insufficient power supply can cause fire or electrical shock.
• The product must be properly grounded at the time of installation, or electrical shock may occur.
• For all electrical work, follow all local and national wiring standards, regulations, and the Installation Manual. Connect cables tightly, and clamp them securely to prevent external forces from damaging the terminal. Improper electrical connections can overheat and cause fire, and may also cause shock. All electrical connections must be made according to the Electrical Connection Diagram located on the panels of the indoor and outdoor units.
• All wiring must be properly arranged to ensure that the control board cover can close properly. If the control board cover is not closed properly, it can lead to corrosion and cause the connection points on the terminal to heat up, catch fire, or cause electrical shock.
• All wiring and disconnection must be incorporated in the fixed wiring in accordance with the wiring rules.

Disposal Guidelines

This marking on the product or its literature indicates that waste electrical and electronic equipment should not be mixed with general household waste.

• Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance and packaging.
• Packing (e.g. wraps, polystyrene etc.) can be dangerous for children. There is a risk of suffocation. Keep packaging materials away from children.
• Contact your local authorities for correct method of disposal. Dispose of all packaging in a responsible manner in accordance with local regulations.

Operation Range

The table below indicates the temperature ranges the air conditioner can be operated within.

Note: If the air conditioner is used outside of the above conditions, certain safety protection features might come into operation and cause the unit to function abnormally.

The unit does not operate immediately if it is turned on after being turned off or after changing the mode during operation. This is a normal self-protection action; you need to wait for about 3 minutes.

Notes for Heating

• The fan of the indoor unit will not work immediately when the heating is started to avoid blowing out cool air.
• When it is cold and wet outside, the outdoor unit will develop frost over the heat exchanger, which will increase the heating capacity. Then the air conditioner will start defrost function.
• During defrost, the air conditioner will stop heating for about 5-12 minutes.
• Vapor may come out from the outdoor unit during defrost. This is not a malfunction, but a result of fast defrost.
• Heating will resume after defrost is complete.

Notes for Turning Off

When the air conditioner is turned off, the main controller will automatically decide whether to stop immediately or after running for dozens of seconds with lower frequency and lower air speed.

Maintenance

The Owner is responsible for regular maintenance of the equipment to ensure the air conditioner operates efficiently. It is recommended that a qualified & licensed technician is contracted to service the air conditioner at least once a year.

Indoor Unit - Clean Anti-Dust Filters

Diagram Description: Shows an indoor unit with arrows indicating opening the front panel and removing the air filter. Another diagram shows an anti-dust filter and a PM2.5 filter.

1. Open the front panel following the direction of the arrow.
2. Keeping the front panel raised with one hand, take out the air filter with the other hand.
3. Note: Take out the PM2.5 filter (if installed).
4. Clean the filter with water; if the filter is soiled with oil, it can be washed with warm water (not exceeding 45°C). Leave to dry in a cool and dry place.
5. Keeping the front panel raised with one hand, insert the air filter with the other hand.
6. Close the panel.

Owner's Responsibility

• Regular cleaning of the air filters and replacement where necessary.
• Ensuring that the air inlet and outlet of the outdoor unit is kept clear of any obstructions (e.g. dirt, leaves, plants).
• Ensuring that the condensate drain is kept clean.
• Ensuring that the heat exchangers are cleaned regularly.
• Replacement of exhausted batteries.
• Application of additional corrosion protection if the product is installed in a corrosive environment (e.g. salty air, industrial pollution, etc.).

End of Season Maintenance

1. Disconnect the power by switching off the isolator switch or circuit breaker.
2. Clean and replace the filters.
3. On a hot sunny day, let the conditioner work in ventilation mode for some hours, so that the inside of the unit can dry completely.

Note: The PM2.5 filter adopts HAF (High Air Flow) electrostatic technology and planar micro-replication technology. It cannot be washed or regenerated. The PM2.5 filter is recommended to replace between 1 to 2 years' time.

Replacing the Batteries

When:

• There is no confirmation beep heard from the indoor unit.
• The LCD doesn't act.

How:
