Safety Precautions
The following safety precautions must be taken when using your air conditioner.

Risk of electric shock. • Can cause injury or death. • Disconnect all remote electric
WARNING power supplies before servicing, installing or cleaning. • This must be done by the
manufacturer or its service agent or a similar qualified person in order to avoid a
hazard.

INSTALLING THE UNIT ◆ The unit should not be installed by the user. Ask the dealer or authorized
company to install the units except room air conditioners for the U.S.A and
Canada area.
◆ If the unit is installed improperly, water leakage, electric shock or fire may
result.
◆ The air conditioner must be installed in accordance with national wiring
regulations and safety regulations wherever applicable.
◆ Mount with the lowest moving parts at least 8.2ft(2.5m) above the floor or
grade level. (If applicable)
◆ The manufacturer does not assume responsibility for accidents or injury
caused by an incorrectly installed air conditioner. If you are unsure about
installation, contact an installation specialist.
◆ When installing the built-in type air conditioner, keep all electrical cables
such as the power cable and the connection cord in pipe, ducts, cable
channels e.t.c to protect them against liquids, outside impacts and so on.

POWER SUPPLY LINE, ◆ If the power cord of this air conditioner is damaged, it must be replaced by
FUSE OR CIRCUIT the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to
BREAKER avoid a hazard.
◆ The unit must be plugged into an independent circuit if applicable or
connect the power cable to the auxiliary circuit breaker. An all pole
disconnection from the power supply must be incorporated in the fixed
wiring with a contact opening of >3mm.
◆ Do not use an extension cord with this product.
◆ If the unit is equipped with a power supply cord and a plug, the plug must
be accessible after installation.
◆ This appliance must be installed accordance with the national wiring
regulations.

Set up the option code

The method for setting up the model option with the remote control

◆ It is necessary to set up option codes after replacing the main PCB with service parts.
Make sure that you can set up option codes of the remote control after replacing the main PBA.
Otherwise, the unit won’t be working properly and all LED lamps on display will be flickering.

Step 1 Preparing for the remote control to the main PCB option set.
1. Remove the battery from the remote control.
2. Press the temperature button simultaneously and insert the battery again.
3. Make sure the remote control display shown as .

Step 2 Preparing for the remote control option set.

Note In case that the wrong letter has been selected; continue to press the button until the
correct letter appears.
1. If the number “ ”appears on the display, proceed to the second stage.
2. Every time you press the 1) and 7) button, “ ” and “ ” continue to appear.
3. Every time you press the 2), 3), 4), 5), 6), 8), 9), 10), 11), 12) button, the number increases
from ~ ( , , , , , , , , , ) and , , , , , in order.

1) If the first number is , it is correct. Otherwise, press the button

until appears.

2) When pressing the button ~ on the display, select one of them.

3) When pressing the button ~ on the display, select one of them.

4) When pressing the button ~ on the display, select one of them.

5) When pressing the button ~ on the display, select one of them.

6) When pressing the button ~ on the display, select one of them.

Step 3 Reconfirming the option set after completing

Example : 014A25-1700b7
Press the button for the “ ” mode and the display will be shown as .
Press the button for the “ ” mode and the display will be shown as .

Step 4 Pressing the (On/Off) button

When pressing the (On/Off)button in the direction of the remote control for unit,
it sounds beep or ringing and the first LED (STANDARD)lamp on the left side is
flickering at the same time, then the input option is completed. If it doesn’t sound
ringing, try again by pressing the (On/Off)button.

Step 5 Testing the unit

1 Remove the battery from the remote control.
2. Insert the battery into the remote control.
3. Press the (On/Off)button in the direction of the remote control for set.

Note Error mode

1. If all lamps of the indoor units are flickering, plug out and in again and press the
(On/Off) button again.
2. If the unit doesn’t work properly or all lamps are continuously flickering after setting the option
code, check that the option code is set properly for its own model.

Troubleshooting

1 Items to be checked first

1) The input voltage should be rating voltage within ±10% range.

The air conditioner may not operate properly if the voltage is out of this range.

2) Is the connection cable linking the indoor unit and the outdoor unit properly?
The indoor unit and the outdoor unit shall be linked by seven cables.
Check the terminals if the indoor unit and outdoor unit are properly linked by the same number of cables.
Otherwise the air conditioner may not operate properly.

3) When a problem occurs due to the contents illustrated in the table below, it is a symptom not related to
the malfunction of the air conditioner.
