Operation
Operation
Familiarize yourself with the unit components and operating tips before operating the unit.
Components
Operating Tips
Follow these tips when using your unit:
Air flow blade
Air intake
Air filter (under grille)
Display
Remote control sensor
Filter reset indicator
Timer indicator
Power indicator (On/Off)
Defrost indicator
Cooling
If the outside temperature is much higher than the selected indoor temperature, it may take longer than expected
to achieve the desired temperature.
Avoid making extreme changes in the temperature setting. This practice wastes energy and does not cool the
room faster.
Heating
Because the unit heats the room by removing heat energy from outdoor air, the heating capacity may decrease
when outdoor temperatures are extremely low. If the unit provides insufficient heat, use an additional heating
source in combination with the unit.
Defrost
When the unit runs in Heat mode, frost may form due to the temperature difference between the unit and the
outside air. If this happens:
• The unit stops heating.
• The unit will operate automatically in Defrost mode for 10 minutes.
• The steam produced on the outdoor unit in Defrost mode is safe.
No intervention is required; after about 10 minutes, the unit will resume normal operation.
The unit will not operate when it starts to defrost.
Fan
The fan may not operate for 3–5 minutes after turning on the unit, to prevents cold air from blowing on occupants
while the unit is warming up.
High indoor and outdoor
temperatures
If both indoor and outdoor temperatures are high and the unit is running in Heat mode, the outdoor unit fan and
compressor may stop at times. This is normal; wait until the unit turns on again.
Power failure
A power failure will cause the unit to stop operating. When power returns, the unit will automatically resume
operation.
Minimum Off Timer
If the unit has just been turned on, it will not produce cool/warm air for 3 minutes. This delay mechanism protects
the outdoor unit compressor.
