Operation
Familiarize yourself with the unit components and operating tips before operating the unit.
Components
Note:
Your unit and display may look slightly different from the illustration shown above,
depending on your model.
Operating Tips
Follow these tips when using your unit:
Air flow blade
Air intake
Air filter (under grill)
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.
