This air conditioner is equipped with ionizer or Plasma Dust Collector(Depending on specific onfiguration of the model). With the anions generated by Ionizer, the air circulation of the air conditioner fills the room with refreshing, natural and healthy air. The PlasmaDust Collector generates an high voltage ionization zone, through which the air is converted to plasma. Inside the air most of the dust, smoke, and pollen particles are captured by the electrostatic filter.

1. The compressor can't restart for 3 minutes after it stops. The unit is designed not to blow cold air on HEAT mode, when the indoor heat exchanger is in one of the following three situations and the set temperature has not been reached. A) When heating has just starting. B) Defrosting. C) Low temperature heating. The indoor or outdoor fan stop running when defrosting (Cooling and heating models only). Frost may be generated on the outdoor unit during heat cycle when outdoor temperature is low and humidity is high resulting in lower heating efficiency of the air conditioner. During this condition air conditioner will stop heating operation and start defrosting automatically. The time to defrost may vary from 4 to 10 minutes according to the outdoor temperature and the amount of frost build up on the outdoor unit. 2. A white mist may generate due to a large temperature difference between air inlet and air outlet on COOL mode in an indoor environment that has a high relative humidity. A white mist may generate due to moisture generated from defrosting process when the air conditioner restarts in HEAT mode operation after defrosting. 3. You may hear a low hissing sound when the compressor is running or has just stopped running. This sound is the sound of the refrigerant flowing or coming to a stop. You can also hear a low "squeak" sound when the compressor is running or has just stopped running. This is caused by heat expansion and cold contraction of the plastic parts in the unit when the temperature is changing. A noise may be heard due to louver restoring to its original position when power is first turned on. 4. This is a normal condition when the air conditioner has not been used for a long time or during first use of the unit. 5. This is caused by the indoor unit giving off smells permeated from building material, from furniture, or smoke. 6. When indoor temperature reaches the temperature setting on air conditioner, the compressor will stop automatically, and the air conditioner turns to FAN only mode. The compressor will start again when the indoor temperature rises on COOL mode or falls on HEAT mode (For cooling and heating models only) to the set point. Protection of the air conditioner. Compressor protection Anti-cold air (Cooling and heating models only) Defrosting (Cooling and heating models only) A white mist coming out from the indoor unit Low noise of the air conditioner Dust is blown out from the indoor unit. A peculiar smell comes out from the indoor unit. The air conditioner turns to FAN only mode from COOL or HEAT (For cooling and heating models only) mode. CARE AND MAINTENANCE Maintenance Checks before operation If you plan to idle the unit for a long time, perform the following: (1) Operate the fan for about half a day to dry the inside of the unit. (2) Stop the air conditioner and disconnect power. (3) The outdoor unit requires periodic maintenance and cleaning. Do not attempt to do this yourself. Contact your dealer or servicer. Remove the batteries from the remote controller. Check that the wiring is not broken off or disconnected. Check that the air filter is installed. Check if the air outlet or inlet is blocked after the air conditioner has not been used for a long time. Do not touch the metal parts of the unit when removing the filter. Injuries can occur when handling sharp metal edges. Do not use water to clean inside the air conditioner. Exposure to water can destroy the insulation, leading to possible electric shock. When cleaning the unit, first make sure that the power and circuit breaker are turned off. Caution 1 2 4. Remove the Air Freshening Filter from its support frame (on some models). (The optional filter include :Plasma Dust Collector/ Silver Ion filter /Bio filter /Vitamin C filter/3M air purifier filter, etc. The removing and installation methods are slightly different, see the pictures marked and on the left. Clean the air freshening filter at least once a month, and replace it every 4-5 months. Clean it with vacuum cleaner, then dry it in cool place. 5. Install the air freshening filter back into position. 6. Insert the upper portion of air filter back into the unit, taking care that the left and right edges line up correctly and place filter into position.

If one of the malfunction codes appears on the display window: E0, E1, E2, E3, E5, E6, E7, P0, P1, P2, P3, P4 or P6. 7. Dripping water may generate on the surface of the indoor unit when cooling in a high relatively humidity (relative humidity higher than 80%). Adjust the horizontal louver to the maximum air outlet position and select HIGH fan speed. 8. The air conditioner draws in heat from the outdoor unit and releases it via the indoor unit during heating operation. When the outdoor temperature falls, heat drawn in by the air conditioner decreases accordingly. At the same time, heat loading of the air conditioner increases due to larger difference between indoor and outdoor temperature. If a comfortable temperature can't be achieved by the air conditioner, we suggest you use a supplementary heating device. 9. Power failure during operation will stop the unit completely. For the unit without Auto-restart feature, when the power restores, the OPERATION indicator on the indoor unit starts flashing. To restart the operation, push the ON/OFF button on the remote controller. For the unit with Auto-restart feature, when the power restores, the unit restarts automatically with all the previous settings preserved by the memory function. For some models, the machine is special designed with Auto-restart function for the open angle of the horizontal louver.Power failure during operation or pressing the ON/OFF button on the remote controller will stop the unit completely.When the power restores or pressing the ON/OFF button on the remote controller again,the unit restarts automatically with all the previous settings including the open angle of the horizontal louver by the memory function.So we strongly suggest that the open angle of the horizontal louver should not be set too small,in case the condensed water forms and drops from the horizontal louver. Press the AUTO/COOL button under the front panel and the open angle of the horizontal louver will be restored to the standard angle when the condensed water forms on the horizontal louver. 10. Lightning or a car wireless telephone operating nearby may cause the unit to malfunction. Disconnect the unit with power and then re-connect the unit with power again.
