This document is an Owner's Manual for an LG Room Air Conditioner, designed to provide users with comprehensive information regarding its operation, maintenance, and safety. The manual emphasizes the importance of reading it carefully before operating the unit and retaining it for future reference.
Function Description:
The LG Room Air Conditioner is designed to provide cooling, heating (for heat pump models), dehumidification, and air circulation functions for indoor spaces. It offers various operational modes to suit different user preferences and environmental conditions. The unit can be controlled via a remote control, which allows for precise adjustments of temperature, fan speed, and operation modes.
Important Technical Specifications:
While specific technical specifications like BTU ratings or power consumption are not explicitly listed on the provided pages, the manual indicates the following:
- Temperature Range: The set temperature can be adjusted within a range of 18°C~30°C (64°F~86°F) at intervals of 1°C (2°F) for cooling and 16°C~30°C (60°F~86°F) at intervals of 1°C (2°F) for heating.
- Fan Speeds: The indoor fan speed can be selected in four steps: low, medium, high, and CHAOS mode.
- Batteries: The remote control requires two AAA (1.5volt) batteries.
- Installation Height: The indoor unit should be installed on a wall where the height from the floor is more than 8ft (2.4m).
Usage Features:
The air conditioner offers a variety of usage features, accessible primarily through the remote control:
- Start/Stop Button: Initiates or terminates the unit's operation.
- Operation Mode Selection Button: Allows selection between Cooling, Auto Operation, Auto Changeover, Healthy Dehumidification, and Heating modes.
- Room Temperature Setting Buttons: Adjusts the desired room temperature up or down.
- Indoor Fan Speed Selector: Cycles through low, medium, high, and CHAOS fan speeds.
- JET COOL: A rapid cooling function that operates at super high fan speed for 30 minutes, automatically setting the room temperature to 18°C. This feature is not available in heat pump or auto changeover modes.
- CHAOS SWING BUTTON: Controls the up/down movement of the louver to set the desired airflow direction. In CHAOS mode, the louver swings automatically to simulate a natural breeze.
- ON/OFF TIMER BUTTONS: Sets specific times for the unit to start or stop operation.
- TIME SETTING BUTTONS: Adjusts the current time on the remote control.
- TIMER SET/CANCEL BUTTON: Confirms or cancels timer settings.
- SLEEP MODE AUTO BUTTON: Activates a sleep mode that operates at a slow fan speed (cooling) or medium fan speed (heat pump) for comfortable sleep. In cooling/dehumidification modes, the set temperature gradually rises.
- AIR CIRCULATION BUTTON: Circulates room air without cooling or heating. Fan speed can be adjusted in this mode.
- ROOM TEMPERATURE CHECKING BUTTON: Displays the current room temperature.
- NEO PLASMA (OPTIONAL): A plasma-purification function for air purification. It can operate independently or in conjunction with other modes.
- HORIZONTAL AIRFLOW DIRECTION CONTROL BUTTON (OPTIONAL): Allows manual adjustment of horizontal airflow direction (requires the unit to be off).
- RESET BUTTON: Used for resetting time and other settings.
- 2nd F Button: Accesses secondary functions printed in blue on the remote control buttons.
- AUTO CLEAN (OPTIONAL): A function that removes moisture from indoor units after cooling or dehumidification operations, preventing mold and odors. It runs for 30 minutes after the unit is turned off.
- °C TO °F SWITCHING BUTTON: Toggles temperature display between Celsius and Fahrenheit.
- Auto Restart: In case of a power failure, the unit automatically resumes operation with previous settings once power is restored.
Maintenance Features:
Regular maintenance is crucial for the air conditioner's efficiency and longevity.
- Grille, Case, and Remote Control: Should be wiped with a soft, dry cloth. Harsh detergents or abrasives should not be used.
- Air Filters: Need to be checked and cleaned every two weeks or more often. They can be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner or warm, soapy water. Hot water (above 40°C/104°F) should be avoided to prevent deformation. After washing, filters should be dried in the shade before re-installation.
- NEO PLASMA Filter (Optional): Should be checked and cleaned every three months or more often. It can be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner or water if very dirty. Users are warned not to touch this filter within 10 seconds of opening the inlet grille due to electric shock risk.
- TRIPLE DEODORIZER Filter (Optional): After removal, it should be dried in sunlight for two hours before re-installation.
- Outdoor Unit: Heat exchanger coils and panel vents should be checked regularly and professionally steam cleaned if clogged with dirt or soot to maintain operating efficiency.
- General Cleaning: Before any cleaning or maintenance, the appliance must be unplugged. Water should not be used to clean inside the air conditioner to prevent electric shock. For inner cleaning, an Authorized Service Center or dealer should be contacted.
Safety Precautions:
The manual includes extensive safety precautions categorized as WARNING (possibility of death or serious injury) and CAUTION (possibility of injury or damage to properties). Key safety points include:
- Installation: Must be performed by qualified personnel according to national wiring regulations. Use a dedicated, grounded outlet. Do not use damaged cords, plugs, or extension cords. Ensure the installation area is stable and the unit is installed at the correct height.
- Operation: Do not turn the unit ON/OFF by plugging/unplugging. Do not direct airflow at room occupants for extended periods. Ventilate the room when using other heating devices. Do not use for non-specified purposes (e.g., preserving food). Do not open the inlet grille during operation. Unplug before cleaning.
- Flammable Materials: Do not store or use flammable gas or combustibles near the unit. Turn off gas and ventilate if gas leaks.
- Water Exposure: Do not allow water to run into electrical parts. If the unit is soaked, contact an Authorized Service Center.
- Batteries: Do not recharge, disassemble, or dispose of batteries in fire. If battery liquid gets on skin or clothes, wash with clean water. If ingested, brush teeth and seek medical attention.
- General: Avoid touching sharp metal parts when removing filters. Do not step on the outdoor unit. Insert filters securely and clean them regularly. Do not drink drained water. Use a firm stool or ladder for cleaning. Replace all batteries in the remote simultaneously.
