WARNING: For replacement, use only the manufacturer specified power cord as shown
below.

Model Power cord parts code

AF-A077J,AF-A097J,AF-A127J QACC-A231JBE0

Replacement should be conducted by a service centre approved by Sharp.

WAIT FOR 3 MINUTES BEFORE RESTARTING THE COOLING OPERATION

Whenever you turn the air conditioner OFF, wait for at least three (3) minutes before
restarting the unit.
If you restart the air conditioner within three minutes, a protective device in the unit may
cause the air conditioner to shut off. This protective device will prevent cooling operation
for about 20 minutes.

IF A POWER FAILURE OCCURS DURING OPERATION, MAKE SURE TO TURN OFF THE
AIR CONDITIONER
After resumption of power supply, restart the air conditioner . If the power was off
for less than three minutes, make sure to wait for at least three minutes before re-
starting the unit.
If the air conditioner is not turned off during a power failure, the resumption of power
supply will cause excessive voltage. The air conditioner will be over-loaded and will
not operate for about 20 minutes.
TO STOP THE UNIT, TURN THE SELECTOR KNOB TO THE "OFF" POSITION.

ALWAYS USE A FUSE WITH THE PROPER AMP RATING

Never use wire, pins or anything other than the proper fuse. The product may be
damaged and fire or other hazards may be resulted. In replacing a blown fuse, or if there
is the problem of constant fuse blowing, contact your dealer or our service centre.

VENTILATE THE ROOM PERIODICALLY DURING USE, ESPECIALLY IF GAS APPLIANCES

ARE USED.

 OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
NOTES ON OPERATION

POWER SUPPLY VOLTAGE

If the power supplied to the unit is not within plus / minus 10 % of the specified rating,
the unit may not function and the fuse may blow.

WORKING RANGE
When the room temperature drops below 21°C, the indoor coil might be frozen and cooling
efficiency will be reduced.
If the outdoor temperature goes above 46°C, a protective device will work and the cooling
operation will be stopped.

NOISE LEVEL
As the surrounding environment is comparatively silent at night, noise from the air
conditioner may seem louder at night than in the day time. If you feel that noise from the
air conditioner is too loud, switch the "SELECTOR" knob to the "LOW COOL" position.

WATER IN THE BOTTOM OF THE TRAY

It is normal for water will be collected in the bottom of the unit. Water condenses on the
evaporator coil in the front part of the unit and is channelled to the rear where it is picked
up by the condenser fan. The water is blown onto the condenser coil fins creating a
"splashing" sound which is normal. When the tray is filled with water, excessive water will
be drained outside through a grooved channel in the tray.

SELECTOR : HIGH COOL
shown in the chart at right for efficient performance.
VENTILATION : LEFT (CLOSED) position

AF-A077J 2çZ-2 8 98.1.6, 0:11 PM
 MODES OF OPERATION
THERMOSTAT KNOB
Use to adjust the desired room temperature setting.
The air conditioner will automatically maintain the room temperature according to the
THERMOSTAT setting. The higher the numbers, the cooler the room temperature becomes.
Experiments may be needed in order to find out the most suitable setting.

AUTO SWING SWITCH

Use to activate automatic louvre movement during LOW COOL or HIGH COOL.
Adjust the louvres to change the direction of air flow for uniform and efficient cooling of the
room. Set the AUTO SWING switch ON ( ), and the Left/Right air flow adjustment louvres
will swing continuously to provide better circulation of cool air. The louvres will be stopped at
the position when the switch is turned off. You can also use the switch to adjust the Left/Right
air flow adjustment louvres to the desired position. Never attempt to move the Left/Right air
flow adjustment louvres manually, or manually force the louvre movement to stop during
swing operation.
The AUTO SWING switch will not activate the louvres when the SELECTOR KNOB is set to
LOW FAN or HIGH FAN.

UP/DOWN AIR FLOW ADJUSTMENT

Airflow direction can be adjusted by moving the airflow adjustment louvres upward or down-
ward. To avoid condensation on the louvres, please do not adjust them to the extreme down-
ward position during COOL operation mode for a long time.

VENTILATION LEVER
If air in your room is stale, set the VENTILATION lever to the RIGHT (OPEN) position. This
will remove stale air from the room. The VENTILATION lever should normally be kept in the
LEFT (CLOSED) position during cooling operation for maximum cooling effect.

 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING : Turn off and unplug the unit before performing any cleaning or
maintenance.

CLEANING THE FILTER

If the filter is clogged with dust the amount of air flow will be reduced, resulting in poor
cooling performance. The filter should be cleaned every 10 days. At the beginning of every
cooling season or if the air conditioner has not been used for a long period, clean the filter
before starting to operate the unit.

1. REMOVE THE FILTER

Remove the grille by sliding it to the left
until it stops and then pull it towards you. Grille
Then lift and unhook the bottom of the air
filter and remove it. 2
2. CLEAN THE FILTER 1
To remove dust from the filter, use a
vacuum cleaner or wash it with water.
If the filter is very dirty, wash it with Air filter
detergent and rinse carefully with water.
Dry the filter with a soft cloth. Do not
expose the filter to heat or dry it under
direct sunlight.

3. REINSTALL THE FILTER Air filter

Fit the top hooks, and then hook the
bottom of the air filter. Replace the grille.
Never operate the unit without installing
the filter and the grille. It may result in
serious damage to the unit. Air filter

CLEANING OF THE FRONT PANEL,GRILLE AND CABINET

To clean the front panel, grille and cabinet, wipe with a soft, dry
cloth or with a cloth moistened with a mild soap. Rinse carefully Grille
by wiping with a damp cloth and dry completely.
Avoid splashing the unit with water. Excessive water will affect
electrical insulation and fire may be resulted during operation.
The grille can also be removed and be washed with water and soft
sponge or cloth. If mild soap should be used, rinse carefully with
water. Dry the grille completely in the shade and reinstall it.
Never use erosive chemicals or abrasive cleaners on any part of
the unit. To avoid damaging the unit, do not use hot water of over
50°C when cleaning.

OILING OF THE COMPRESSOR AND FAN MOTOR IS UNNECESSARY

The compressor is permanently lubricated and is hermetically sealed. The fan motor is
lifetime sealed and does not require oiling.

 BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVlCE
IF YOUR AIR CONDITIONER DOES NOT OPERATE PROPERLY, PLEASE CHECK
THE FOLLOWING ITEMS BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE.

AIR CONDITIONER DOES NOT OPERATE AT ALL

• Is the power cord loosened or unplugged?
• Is the fuse blown or has the circuit breaker been tripped?
• Did you restart the unit within 3 minutes after power failure? If the power was off for less
than 3 minutes, and you restart the air conditioner within 3 minutes, a protective device
may cause the air conditioner to shut off, preventing cooling operation for about 20
minutes.

AIR CONDITIONER DOES NOT COOL PROPERLY

• Is the SELECTOR set to LOW FAN or HIGH FAN?
Cooling will not be conducted in LOW FAN and HIGH FAN . Change the SELECTOR
setting to LOW COOL or HIGH COOL.
• Is the filter covered with heavy dirt?
A dirty filter can cause the cooling coils to freeze. If this happens, clean the filter and
replace it. Run the air conditioner on the HIGH FAN setting until it defrosts.
• Is the THERMOSTAT set properly?
If your room is too warm, adjust the THERMOSTAT knob to a higher cooling setting.
If your room is too cool, adjust the THERMOSTAT knob to a lower cooling setting.
• Is the VENTILATION lever set in the RIGHT (OPEN) position?
The lever should be set in the LEFT (CLOSED) position during cooling operation.
• Are the windows exposed to direct sunlight?
Close curtains or blinds to minimize the heat in the room.
• Are the windows or doors open?
Close all windows and doors for maximum cooling effect.

LEFT / RIGHT AIR FLOW ADJUSTMENT LOUVRES DO NOT SWING

• Is the crank shaft fitted properly into the louvre link?
Remove the front panel, and replace it again. Make sure to slide the crank shaft into
the opening of the louvre link at the back of the front panel. (See page 4, step 6-(3))
• Is the SELECTOR set to LOW FAN or HIGH FAN? The auto swing louvre can be
activated only at LOW COOL or HIGH COOL setting.
