Contact an authorized service technician
for repair or maintenance. Improper repair
and maintenance may cause water leakage,
electrical shock, or fire, and may void your
warranty.
•
DO NOT
substitute a blown fuse with a
fusethat has a higher or lower amperage
rating,as this may damage the circuit or
cause anelectrical fire.
•
Make sure the drain hose is set up according
to the instructions. Failure to do so could
cause leakage and result in personal
property damage, fire and electric shock.
•
Make sure that all wires are connected
properly. Failure to connect wires
according to instructions can result in
electrical shock or fire.
Unit Maintenance
BEFORE CLEANING OR
MAINTENANCE
•
Always turn off your air conditioning
system and disconnect its power supply
before cleaning or maintenance.
•
DO NOT
use chemicals or chemically
treated cloths to clean the unit.
•
DO NOT
use benzene, paint thinner,
polishing powder or other solvents to
clean the unit. They can cause the plastic
surface to crack or deform.
•
DO NOT
wash the unit under running
water. Doing so causes electrical danger.
•
DO NOT
use water hotter than 40°C (104°F)
to clean the front panel. This can cause the
panel to deform or become discolored.
•
Clean the unit using a damp, lint-free
cloth and neutral detergent. Dry the unit
with a dry, lint-free cloth.
How To Clean The Air Filter
The filter prevents dust and other particles from
entering the indoor unit. Dust buildup can reduce
the efficiency of the air conditioner. For optimum
efficiency, clean the air filter every two weeks or
more frequently if you live in a dusty area. Replace
the filter with a new one if it’s heavily clogged and
cannot be cleaned.
WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE OR
CLEAN THE FILTER BY YOURSELF
Removing and cleaning the filter can be
dangerous. Removal and maintenance must
be performed by a certified technician.
NOTE:
In households with animals, you will
have toperiodically wipe down the grille to
prevent animal hair blocking airflow.

Repairing Refrigerant Leaks
WARNING
•
If the refrigerant leaks, turn off the air
conditioner and any combustible heating
devices, ventilate the room and call your
dealer immediately. Refrigerant is both
toxic and flammable.
DO NOT
use the
air conditioner until the leak is repaired.
•
When the air conditioner is installed in a
small room, measures must be taken to
prevent the refrigerant concentration
from exceeding the safety limit in the
event of refrigerant leakage.
Concentrated refrigerant causes a severe
health and safety threat.
Refrigerant Leak Detection System (some
models)
•
In the event of a refrigerant leak, the LCD
screen will display “EC” and the LED
indicator light will flash.
Preparation For Periods Of Non-Use
Maintenance after Extended Non-Use
1. Remove any obstacles blocking the vents of
both the indoor and outdoor units.
