WARNING Do not add power before finishing installation. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, the service agent, or similarly qualified persons for a hazard to be avoided. Because the temperature of the refrigerant circuit will be high, ensure that the interconnection cable is kept away from the copper tube. The appliance should be installed in accordance with national wiring regulations.

Low hissing sound during operation: This is normal and is caused by refrigerant gas flowing through both the indoor and outdoor units.
Troubleshooting When troubles occur, please check the following points before contacting a repair company. Issue Possible Causes Solution The temperature setting may be higher than ambient Lower the temperature setting. room temperature. Poor cooling performance The heat exchanger on the indoor or outdoor unit is dirty. Clean the affected heat exchanger. The air filter is dirty.

SYSTEM OPERATION COOLING OPERATION How it works: In cooling mode, your indoor unit will absorb heat from the room, then the outdoor unit will discharge the heat to the outdoors. The cooling capacity decreases as the outdoor temperature increases. This causes the air conditioner to work harder and longer to hold the selected room temperature. Indoor Coil Freeze Protection: Frost may form on the indoor coil during cooling operations when the outdoor temperature is below 50°F (10°C).
ENERGY-SAVING TIPS 1. Relaxing room temperature at night is OK: During the nighttime hours, you don’t require the same level of conscious cooling or heating. Try using Sleep Mode to gradually relax the room temperature and allow the unit to run less and save energy. 2. Curtains and shades: In the summer, you need to block the effects of the sun. Close window curtains and shades on the south and west sides of your home to help block solar heat. In winter, the sun is your friend.
