IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. As the power voltage should remain as steady as possible (between 212V and
264V) without big fluctuations, use correct power supply according to the existing
data on the rating label.
2. Never insert an object or finger through the air discharge grid of the indoor and
outdoor unit. This may cause bodily injury and damage the unit. Furthermore do not
put any objects on the indoor and outdoor unit. Keep the air conditioner free from
any obstructions. Make sure that the air intake vent and air outlet vent are open
before starting to use the air conditioner. Do not allow objects to get into the air
intake vent or air outlet vent. Do not cover up the air conditioner. This can lead to
overheating, fire or electric shock.
3. After pressing a key the unit will start operation with a delay of 3-4 minutes to
avoid damage to the compressor.
4. Only connect the air conditioner to an earthed single-phase power socket with the
current as stated on the rating label. Before connecting the air conditioner to a
power socket, make sure that the socket is provided with an earth connection in
compliance with local codes. Switch the air conditioner off and disconnect the
power plug from the power socket when the air conditioner is not in use and before
cleaning. Do not tug at the power cord to disconnect the plug. Unwind the power
cord completely. An incompletely unwound power cord can lead to overheating and
cause a fire. Do not touch the power cord with wet hands. Make sure that there are
no objects resting on the power cord or that it could come into contact with hot
parts. Positions where the power socket is easily accessible. Do not use an
extension cord, a multiway connector or an infinitely variable speed controller.
These can lead to overheating, fire or electric shock.
5. The connection of the quick connection must be done according to this
instruction to prevent system leakage and damaging compressor.
6. Doors or windows can be open slightly for ventilation if the indoor air is too
turbid; when the unit is running, draw curtain or cover window to prevent leakage of
cool air or heat that may impact the air conditioning effect. While using the Cooling,
Heating or Drying mode make sure that all windows are closed.
7. If the power cord of the air conditioner is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, at a manufacturer-approved repair shop or by similarly qualified per-
sons, so as to avoid damage. Do not attempt to open or repair the unit by yourself,
as this could cause damage to persons and property. Do not operate the air
conditioner if it is damaged or might be defective, or if it is not working properly.
Remove the power plug from the socket.
8. Close supervision is necessary when this air conditioner is used by or near chil-
dren or infirm persons.
9. Do not use the air conditioner in any kind of vehicle (e.g. portcabin, platform
truck, lift, motor vehicle, cubicle) or similar enclosed space.
10. Do not use the air conditioner anywhere near flammable gases or substances
such as solvents, lacquers, glues etc.
11. Do not immerse the air conditioner in water or any other liquids and do not pour
water or any other liquids over the appliance or into the air intake vent or air outlet
vent. Clean the air conditioner regularly by following the cleaning instructions.
12. The air conditioner must only be used according to the instructions in this
instruction manual. Non-observance of these instructions can result in injuries, fire,
electric shock or defects in the appliance.
13. The air conditioner must not be located behind curtains or other objects and
obstacles which could interrupt the air circulation. Make sure that no objects can get
into the air intake vent or discharge vent. Never put objects on the top of the unit.
14. Do not unplug the air conditioner while it is operating. First switch it OFF with
the power key.
