What to Check First

  1. Power check: Make sure the unit is plugged directly into a dedicated wall outlet.
  2. Settings check: Set the unit to Cooling mode with a target temperature of 18°C (64°F). Let it run for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Indoor unit check: Clean any dust from the fine dust filter.
  4. Outdoor unit check: Make sure the heat exchanger on the back of the unit is not blocked. During extreme heat, you can spray water on the outdoor unit to help it cool down.
  5. Do not use multiple adapters or extension cords. Overloading the circuit may cause electric shock or fire.
  6. Filter removal methods may vary by model. Refer to your user manual for details.
  7. 1. Reconnect the power cord: A loose plug may cause overheating or unexpected shutdowns. Unplug the cord, let it cool for about 30 minutes, then plug it back in securely and restart the unit.
  8. 2. Use a dedicated wall outlet: Avoid using power strips. We recommend plugging the unit directly into a dedicated wall outlet.
  9. 3. If you must use a power strip: Do not connect multiple devices. Use the power strip only for the air conditioner.
  10. Set Cooling mode: Use the remote control to select Cooling.
