  4. Electrical wiring: Connect to dedicated circuit breaker; follow local electrical codes.
  5. Drainage: Install drain hose with proper slope to prevent water accumulation.

WARNING! Installation must be performed by certified personnel. Incorrect installation can cause malfunction, water leakage, or electrical hazard.

First-Time Setup & Operation

After installation, power on unit and configure basic settings.

  1. Power on: Press circuit breaker; indoor unit will beep and display standby.
  2. Remote control: Insert batteries; point at indoor unit signal receiver.
  3. Select mode: Press MODE button to choose Cool, Heat, Fan, Dry, or Auto.
  4. Set temperature: Use ▲/▼ buttons to adjust desired temperature.
  5. Adjust fan speed: Press FAN button to select Auto, Low, Medium, High.
  6. Set airflow direction: Use SWING button to adjust louvers vertically/horizontally.

CAUTION! Allow 3 minutes after turning off before restarting to protect compressor.

Technical Specifications

Controls and Remote Settings

Indoor Unit: Power indicator, Operation lamp, Signal receiver. Remote Control: POWER, MODE, TEMP ▲/▼, FAN, SWING, TIMER, SLEEP, TURBO, RESET.

Remote Functions: POWER (On/Off), MODE (select operation), TEMP (16°C-30°C), FAN (Auto/Low/Med/High), SWING (adjust airflow), TIMER (set ON/OFF schedule), SLEEP (auto temperature adjustment), TURBO (rapid cooling/heating), RESET (restore defaults).

Advanced Settings: Access by holding MODE button for 3 seconds - Filter reset, Self-clean, Beep on/off, Temperature display (°C/°F).

Operating Modes

Cool: Lowers room temperature; auto fan speed recommended. Heat: Raises room temperature; may take minutes to start in cold weather. Fan: Circulates air without cooling/heating. Dry: Reduces humidity; fan runs at low speed. Auto: Unit automatically selects Cool or Heat based on room temperature.

  1. Select mode with MODE button.
  2. Set desired temperature with ▲/▼.
  3. Adjust fan speed if needed.
  4. Press POWER to start operation.

Tip: For energy efficiency, set temperature to 24-26°C in cooling mode, 18-20°C in heating mode.

Maintenance & Filter Care

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and air quality.

  1. Turn off and unplug unit before maintenance.
  2. Clean air filter: Remove filter every 2 weeks; wash with mild detergent; dry completely.
  3. Clean indoor unit: Wipe surface with soft, dry cloth.
  4. Clean outdoor unit: Remove debris from fins; ensure adequate airflow.
  5. Check drain hose: Ensure no blockage for proper condensation drainage.

WARNING! Do not use water, benzene, or abrasive cleaners on indoor unit. Do not operate without air filter installed.

Advanced Functions

Timer: Program ON/OFF times (up to 24 hours in advance). Sleep Mode: Gradually adjusts temperature for comfortable sleep, then maintains. Turbo Mode: Maximum cooling/heating for rapid temperature change. Self-Clean: Dries indoor unit to prevent mold (activate via remote). Follow Me: Remote control senses temperature at its location.

Safety Precautions

Do not insert objects into air inlet/outlet. Ensure proper ventilation around outdoor unit. Do not use in wet areas. Keep flammable gases away from unit. Disconnect power before cleaning or maintenance.

CAUTION! Refrigerant circuit should only be serviced by qualified technicians using proper tools.
