 SAFETY PRECAUTION
● Please read the “Safety Precaution” carefully before operating the unit to ensure correct usage of the unit.
● Pay special attention to signs of “ ! Warning” and “ ! Caution”. The “Warning” section contains matters which,
if not observed strictly, may cause death or serious injury. The “Caution” section contains matters which may
result in serious consequences if not observed properly. Please observe all instructions strictly to ensure safety.
● The sign indicate the following meanings.

Make sure to connect earth line. The sign in the figure indicates prohibition.

Indicates the instructions that must be followed.

● Please keep this manual after reading.

PRECAUTIONS DURING INSTALLATION

● Do not reconstruct the unit.
Water leakage, fault, short circuit or fire may occur if you reconstruct the
unit by yourself.
● Please ask your sales agent or qualified technician for the installation of
! your unit. Water leakage, short circuit or fire may occur if you install the unit
WARNING by yourself.
● Please use earth line.
Do not place the earth line near water or gas pipes, lightning-conductor, or
the earth line of telephone. Improper installation of earth line may cause
electric shock.
● A circuit breaker should be installed depending on the mounting site of the
! unit. Without a circuit breaker, the danger of electric shock exists.
CAUTION ● Do not install the unit near a location where there is flammable gas. The
outdoor unit may catch fire if flammable gas leaks around it.
● Please ensure smooth flow of water when installing the drain hose.

PRECAUTIONS DURING SHIFTING OR MAINTENANCE

● Should abnormal situation arises (like burning smell), please stop operating the unit
! and turn off the circuit breaker. Contact your agent. Fault, short circuit or fire may
W occur if you continue to operate the unit under abnormal situation.

 PRECAUTIONS DURING OPERATION

ENGLISH
● The product shall be operated under the manufacturer specification and
not for any other intended use.

● Do not attempt to operate the unit with wet hands, this could cause fatal
accident.

● When operating the unit with burning equipments, regularly ventilate the
room to avoid oxygen insufficiency.

● Do not direct the cool air coming out from the air-conditioner panel to face
household heating apparatus as this may affect the working of apparatus
such as the electric kettle, oven etc.

● Please ensure that outdoor mounting frame is always stable, firm and
without defect. If not, the outdoor unit may collapse and cause danger.

● Do not splash or direct water to the body of the unit when cleaning it as this
may cause short circuit.

● Do not use any aerosol or hair sprays near the indoor unit. This chemical
can adhere on heat exchanger fin and blocked the evaporation water flow
! to drain pan. The water will drop on tangential fan and cause water splashing
out from indoor unit.
C
A ● Please switch off the unit and turn off the circuit breaker during cleaning, the
U high-speed fan inside the unit may cause danger.
T
I
O ● Turn off the circuit breaker if the unit is not to be operated for a long period.
N

● Do not climb on the outdoor unit or put objects on it.

● Do not put water container (like vase) on the indoor unit to avoid water
dripping into the unit. Dripping water will damage the insulator inside the unit
and causes short-circuit.

● Do not place plants directly under the air flow as it is bad for the plants.

● When operating the unit with the door and windows opened, (the room humidity is always above
80%) and with the air deflector facing down or moving automatically for a long period of time,
water will condense on the air deflector and drips down occasionally. This will wet your furniture.
Therefore, do not operate under such condition for a long time.
● If the amount of heat in the room is above the cooling or heating capability of the unit (for
example: more people entering the room, using heating equipments and etc.), the preset room
temperature cannot be achieved.

● This appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons unless they have been
adequately supervised by a responsible person to ensure that they can use the appliance safely.
● Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

4 Attach the filters.

● Attach the filters by ensuring that the surface written
“FRONT” is facing front.
● After attaching the filters, push the front panel at
three arrow portion as shown in figure and close it.

NOTE
● In case of removing the Nano Titanium filters, please follow the above procedures.
● The cooling capacity is slightly weakened and the cooling speed becomes slower when the Nano
Titanium filters are used. So, set the fan speed to "HIGH" when using it in this condition.
● Nano Titanium filters are not washable and can be use in 1 year time. Type number for this air
cleansing filter is <SPX-CFH14>. Please use this number for ordering when you want to renew it.
● Do not operate the air conditioner without filter. Dust may enter the air conditioner and fault may occur.

MAINTENANCE

! CAUTION
Cleaning and maintenance must be carried out only by qualified service personal. Before cleaning,
stop operation and switch off the power supply.

1. AIR FILTER
Clean the air filter, as it removes dust inside the room. In case the air filter is full of dust, the air flow
will decrease and the cooling capacity will be reduced. Further, noise may occur. Be sure to clean the
filter following the procedure below.

PROCEDURE

1 Open the front panel and remove the filter

● Gently lift and remove the Nano Titanium filters
from the air filter frame.

2 Vacuum dust from the air filter and Nano Titanium

filter using vacuum cleaner. If there is too much
dust, air filter only rinse under running tap water
and gently brush it with soft bristle brush. Allow
filters to dry in shade.

3 ● Re-insert the Nano Titanium filters to the filter

frame. Set the filter with “FRONT” mark facing
front, and slot them into the original state.
● After attaching the filters, push the front panel
at three arrow portions as shown in figure
and close it.

NOTE:
● Nano Titanium filter should be cleaned every month or sooner if noticeable loading occurs. When
used overtime, it may loose its deodorizing function. For maximum performance, it is recommended
to replace it every 1 year depending on application requirements.

! CAUTION
● Do not wash with hot water at more than 40°C. The filter may shrink.
● When washing it, shake off moisture completely and dry it in the shade; do not expose it directly to
the sun. The filter may shrink.
● Do not use detergent on the Nano Titanium filter as some detergent may deteriorate the filter
electrostatic performance.

ENGLISH
WHEN ASKING FOR SERVICE, CHECK THE FOLLOWING POINTS.

CONDITION CHECK THE FOLLOWING POINTS

● Is the fuse all right?

When it does not operate ● Is the voltage extremely high or low?
● Is the circuit breaker “ON”?

● Was the air filter cleaned?

● Does sunlight fall directly on the outdoor unit?
When it does not cool well ● Is the air flow of the outdoor unit obstructed?
When it does not hot well ● Are the doors or windows opened, or is there any source of
heat in the room?
● Is the set temperature suitable?

Notes
● In quiet operation or stopping the operation, the following phenomena
may occassionally occur, but they are not abnormal for the operation.
(1) Slight flowing noise of refrigerant in the refrigerating cycle.
(2) Slight rubbing noise from the fan casing which is cooled and then
gradually warmed as operation stops.
● The odor will possibly be emitted from the room air conditioner because
the various odor, emitted by smoke, foodstuffs, cosmetics and so on,
sticks to it. So the air filter and the evaporator regularly must be cleaned
to reduce the odor.

● Please contact your sales agent immediately if the air conditioner still fails to operate normally after the above
inspections. Inform your agent of the model of your unit, production number, date of installation. Please also
inform him regarding the fault.

● Power supply shall be connected at the rated voltage, otherwise the unit will be broken or could not reach the
specified capacity.

Please note:
On switching on the equipment, particularly when the room light is dimmed, a slight brightness fluctuation
may occur. This is of no consequence.
The conditions of the local Power Supply Companies are to be observed.

Note
● Avoid to use the room air conditioner for cooling operation when the outside temperature is below
21°C (70°F).
The recommended maximum and minimum operating temperatures of the hot and cold sides
should be as below:

Cooling Heating
Minimum Maximum Minimum Maximum
Dry bulb °C 21 32 20 27
Indoor
Wet bulb °C 15 23 12 19
