My circuit breaker keeps tripping when operating the product/ during the operation.<p style="margin: 0pt 0in; text-align: left; line-height: 100%; text-indent: 0in; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline; unicode-bidi: embed; direction: ltr; language: ko; punctuation-wrap: hanging;">

■ Problem

Power supply

■ Symptom

Circuit breaker shuts off&nbsp;

&nbsp;

■ Possible Cause

Air conditioner is an appliance that consumes a lot of electricity to quickly

cool down the room temperature.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

It should be directly connected to the exclusive circuit breaker as it consumes a lot of electricity.

The circuit breaker may shut off when used with a power strip or because of the temporary overload.

■ Solution or Settings

1.

If the power cord is loose, it may result in the overheating of the cord or power off.

- Remove the power cord

and

cool it down for about 30 minutes, and then insert

it again

correctly to restart the

appliance

.

2. Please avoid using the power

strip and connect it

to a single wall outlet.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<img style="border: currentColor; border-image: none; vertical-align: auto;" src="https://gscs.lge.com:/gscs/support/fileupload/downloadFile.do?fileId=SFz6AqGnerwtw8ps260bRA&amp;portalId=P1" border="0"/>

&nbsp;

3.If it’s inevitable to use a power strip in

&nbsp;

your

&nbsp;

installation environment, please use the air conditioner alone with a product of 16A (Amp) or more and a line thickness

&nbsp;of 2 to 2.5mm

&nbsp;&nbsp;

※

The floor standing&nbsp; air conditioner cannot be used with a power strip.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; There is a risk of fire even if it is used alone in a power

strip

due

to the

Max current issue of the floor

standing type air conditioner

How to check capacity of the power strips ]

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;-

Maximum Capacity: 16A X 250V = 4000W

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;-

&nbsp;Optimum Capacity:

&nbsp;

80% or less of the maximum capacity

&nbsp;&nbsp;

-&nbsp;

Less than 16A X 250V X 0.8 = 3200W

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

※ 16A-250V or more is recommended in case of using the power strip.

&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Max current of the air conditioner is 16A-20A depending on the sizes of the room floor

.&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The power of the product may go off if you use it with other electrical appliances or the outdoor unit is overheated

&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;by the summer heatwave.

4. Cool down the overheated outdoor unit and then turn

on

the circuit breaker again.&nbsp;<p style="text-align: left; line-height: 100%; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; unicode-bidi: embed; direction: ltr; language: ko; punctuation-wrap: hanging;">

&nbsp;&nbsp; The outdoor unit is defective if the symptom continues or the circuit breaker shuts down within 3 minutes after turning on the product.
