 IDENTIFICATION OF PARTS

WARNING For your safety

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
Avoid fire hazard or electric shock. Do not use an extension cord or an adaptor plug. Do not remove
any prong from the power cord.
WARNING Electrical Infor mation
Be sure the electrical service is adequate for the model you have chosen. This information can be found
on the serial plate, which is located on the side of the cabinet and behind the grille.
Be sure the air conditioner is properly grounded. To minimize shock and fire hazards, proper grounding is
important. The power cord is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for protection against shock
hazards.
Your air conditioner must be used in a properly grounded wall receptacle. If the wall receptacle you intend
to use is not adequately grounded or protected by a time delay fuse or circuit breaker, have a qualified
electrician install the proper receptacle.
Ensure the receptacle is accessible after the unit installation.

 CARE AND MAINTENANCE

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

1) Be sure to unplug the unit before cleaning or servicing.

2) Do not use gasoline, thinner or other chemicals to clean
the unit.
3) Do not wash the unit directly under a tap or spray with
water hose. It may cause electrical danger.
4) If the power cord is damaged, it should be repaired by
manufacture or its certified electrician.

1. Air filter
- Clean the air filter at least once every two weeks to prevent
inferior fan operation due to dust accumulation.
- Removal (This unit has two filters)
Upper Filter: Pull and remove according to arrow direction
in Fig. 23.
Lower Filter: First remove the screw as indicated in Fig.23,
remove filter.
- Cleaning
Wash the air filters by immersing gently in warm water
(about 40OC/104OF) with a neutral detergent. Rinse the filters
and allow to dry completely in a shady area - do not place
under direct sunlight.
- Mounting
Replace upper filter according to arrow direction in Fig.24
Replace lower filter and reinsert the screw. (Fig.24)

2. Housing
- Use a lint-free cloth soaked with neutral detergent to clean
the unit’s housing. Finished by a dry clean cloth.

3. Storage
- Remove the rubber plug at the back of the unit and attach
a hose to drain outlet. Place the open end of the hose
directly over the drain area (See Fig.20 & 21).
- Drain water from the bottom tray by removing the plug from
the bottom drain outlet (See Fig.22).
- Turn unit on and run in FAN for half a day in a warm room.
This will dry the inside of the unit and prevent mold and
mildew growth.
- Power off the unit and unplug from power source. Wrap the
cord around the bracket and insert plug into the storage
socket. (Fig.25)
- Clean both filters and reinstall.
- Remove batteries from the remote and store with unit.
- Cover with a plastic bag and store in a cool, dry place.

CAUTIONS

The air conditioner will not respond if curtains, doors or other barriers
block the signal from the remote controller to the unit.
Prevent any liquid from coming in contact with the remote controller.
Do not expose the remote controller to direct sunlight or heat.
If the infrared signal receiver on the unit is exposed to direct sunlight,
the air conditioner may not respond. Close curtains/blinds to block
sunlight from falling on the receiver.
If other electrical appliances react to the remote controller, move
those appliances if possible.

Replacing batteries

The remote controller is powered by two AAA batteries (not included).

The batteries are housed in the back of remote, protected by a cover.
(1) Remove the cover by pressing down and sliding off.
(2) Remove the old batteries and insert new batteries, placing the
(+) and (-) ends correctly.
(3) Replace cover by sliding it back into position.

NOTE: When the batteries are removed, any programming

will be erased. After inserting the new batteries, the remote controller
. can be reprogrammed.

CAUTIONS

Do not mix old and new batteries or batteries of a different type.

Do not leave the batteries in the remote controller if it is not going to be used for extended period
of time (2 months or more).
Dispose old batteries at recycling centers - contact your local government for disposal practices
in your area.
