Installation procedure:
Horizontal line
1) Remove the sticker from the front panel.
2) Put the unit into the installation hole.
When installing the unit, it should be slanted
down to the back to avoid the enlargement of
noise or vibration. (Slant between 6-10mm.)
(Shown at right figure.)
The installation place should be strong enough
to avoid the enlargement of noise or vibration.
3) Fill up sews in the cabinet with sponge or foam.
Wall
Sunshade board
Wooden frame
Installation assistance:
Rubber plate
Use iron support
The installation hole should be strong enough to
support the air conditioner. If it cannot, iron sup-
port has to be used outdoors.
Iron support should be fixed on the building (Shown
at right figure.)
Support
Use sunshade board
Air conditioner should avoid anything to be dropped
into it and avoid direct sunshine. If there is no cover
on it, you should contact the seller for installing
the sunshade board. When installing the sunshade
board, don’ t let it block the air inlet at the side grille.
Horizontal line
Drain water:
To get the maximum cooling efficiency, the air conditioner is designed to splash the condensation water on the
condenser coil.
To the cooling only unit,If the splashing sound annoys you, you can provide an outside drain by using the follo
-wing procedure, whichmay however cause a small loss of performance.
1. Slide out the chassis from the cabinet.
2. Remove the rubber plug from the body base plate.
3. Install the drain pan to the corner of the cabinet with 2 screws.
4. Connect the drain hose to the outlet on the drain pan bottom.
5. Slide the chassis into its original place in the cabinet.

technician. In addition, the charge of this must be paid.
Noise
Install in a location that is firm enough to avoid the enlargement of noise
and vibration.
Don’ t put anything in front of the outlet of outdoor unit to avoid increasing
noise.
Be sure that hot air or noise will not inconvenience neighbors.
Please contact the seller as soon as there is strange noise during operation.
Please use the safety support.
Electric wiring
Must connect with ground reliably.
The exclusive circuit must be used. But removable socket can’ t be used because poor
contact of it can cause over heat or fire.
Don’t pull the power cord strongly.
In fixed circuit, there must be electricity leakage protection switch and leakage current
is less than 30mA.
Connecting method between air conditioners and power cord and interconnecting method
of each individual element with one another should accord with wiring diagram on the unit.
The air conditioner should be installed in accordance with national wiring regulation.
An all-pole disconnection switch having a contact separation of at least 3mm in all poles
should be connected in fixed wiring
Air switch (thermal-magnetic breaker) should be installed in the circuit.
If the supply cord is damaged,it must be replaced by the manufacturer or your dealer
or a qualified person to avoid a hazard.

Operation Tips
Operation for comfort and economy
Do not overcool the room
temperature. This is not good
for health and wastes electricity.
Keep blind or curtains closed.
Do not let sunshine enter the
room directly when the air con-
dition is in operation.
Keep the room temp. uniform.
Adjust the vertical and horizon-
tal airflow direction to ensure a
uniform temperature in the room.
Air can’ t be discharged to the di-
rection of air-in.
Make sure that the doors and win-
dows are tightly closed.Avoid open-
ing doors and windows as much as
possible to keep air conditioning in the
room.
Clean the air filter regularly.
Blockages in the air filter re-
duce dehumidifying effects.
Clean the air filter at least once
every two weeks.
Ventilate the room occasionally.
Since windows are kept closed, it
is a good idea to open them and
ventilate the room now and then.
When starting the unit, curtains or
windows should be closed to pre-
vent the heat/cool leakage.

* Is power fuse or switch off ?
* Whether the voltage is too high or too low?
* Is air inlet or outlet locking?
* Is there any other heat/cool source in room?
* Are air filters dirty very much?
* Is indoor fan speed set at LOW?
* Maybe the room is too hot/cool when the unit is
started.
Cool or heat efficiency is
not good.
* At COOL mode operation, sometimes there is foggy
air flowing out of indoor unit, this is because the room
humid air has been cooling rapidly.
Foggy air
