FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS
INVERTER
At the start of operation, a large power is used to bring the
room quickly to the desired temperature. Afterwards, the
unit automatically switches to a low power setting for economic and comfortable operation.
COIL DRY OPERATION
The Indoor unit can be dried by pressing the COIL DRY button on the Remote Control Unit so as to avoid going moldy
and restrain the breed of bacterium.
AUTO CHANGEOVER
The operation mode (cooling, dry, heating) is switched automatically to maintain the set temperature, and the temperature is kept constant at all times.
PROGRAM TIMER
The program timer allows you to integrate OFF timer and
ON timer operations in a single sequence. The sequence
can involve one transition from OFF timer to ON timer, or
from ON timer to OFF timer, within a twenty-four hour period.
SLEEP TIMER
When the SLEEP button is pressed during Heating mode,
the air conditioner’s thermostat setting is gradually lowered
during the period of operation; during cooling mode, the
thermostat setting is gradually raised during the period of
operation. When the set time is reached, the unit automatically turns off.
SWING OPERATION
The Air Flow Direction Louvers swings automatically up and
down so that the air speeds to every nook and corner of
your room.
REMOVABLE OPEN PANEL
The indoor unit’s Open Panel can be removed for easy cleaning and maintenance.
MILDEW-RESISTANT FILTER
The AIR FILTER has been treated to resist mildew growth,
thus allowing cleaner use and easier care.
SUPER QUIET OPERATION
When the FAN CONTROL button is used to select QUIET,
the unit begins super-quiet operation; the indoor unit’s airflow is reduced to produce quieter operation.
POLYPHENOL CATECHIN AIR CLEANING FILTER
The polyphenol catechin air cleaning filter uses static electricity to clean the air of fine particles and dust such as tobacco smoke and plant pollen that are too small to see.
The filter contains catechin, which is highly effective against
various bacteria by suppressing the growth of the bacteria
adsorbed by the filter.
Note that when the air cleaning filter is installed, the amount
of air produced decreases, causing a slight decrease in the
air conditioner's performance.
NEGATIVE AIR IONS DEODORIZING FILTER
WIRELESS REMOTE CONTROL UNIT
The Wireless Remote Control Unit allows convenient control of air conditioner operation.
It comprises pottery super micro particles, which can produce negative air ions having the effect of deodorizing and
can absorb and remit the peculiar smell at home.
WIRED REMOTE CONTROL UNIT (OPTION)
The optional wired remote control unit (model No.: UTB-UUB) can be used.
When you use remote control unit, there are following different points as compared with using wireless remote control unit.
[The additional functions for wired ones]
• Weekly timer
• Temperature set back timer
[The restricted functions for wired ones]
• QUIET can't be selected in FAN MODE.
• Sleep-timer can't be used.
And you can't use both wired remote control unit and wireless simultaneously.

About AUTO CHANGEOVER Operation
AUTO: ● When AUTO CHANGEOVER operation first selected, the fan will oper-
ate at very low speed for about one minute, during which time the unit
detects the room conditions and selects the proper operating mode.
If the differance between thermostat setting and actual room temperature is more than +4 °F → Cooling or dry operation
If the difference between thermostat setting and actual room temperature is within ±4 °F → Monitor operation
If the difference between thermostat setting and actual room temperature is more than –4 °F → Heating operation
● When the air conditioner has adjusted your room’s temperature to near
the thermostat setting, it will begin monitor operation. In the monitor
operation mode, the fan will operate at low speed. If the room temperature subsequently changes, the air conditioner will once again
select the appropriate operation (Heating, Cooling) to adjust the temperature to the value set in the thermostat.
(The monitor operation range is ±4 °F relative to the thermostat setting.)
● If the mode automatically selected by the unit is not what you wish,
select one of the mode operation (HEAT, COOL, DRY, FAN).
About Mode Operation
Heating: ● Use to warm your room.
● When Heating mode is selected, the air conditioner will operate at very
low fan speed for about 3 to 5 minutes, after which it will switch to the
selected fan setting. This period of time is provided to allow the indoor
unit to warm up before begin full operation.
● When the room temperature is very low, frost may form on the outside
unit, and its performance may be reduced. In order to remove such
frost, the unit will automatically enter the defrost cycle from time to
time. During Automatic Defrosting operation, the OPERATION Indicator Lamp (Fig. 3 5) will flash, and the heat operation will be interrupted.
Cooling: ● Use to cool your room.

TROUBLESHOOTING
WARNING!
Before requesting service, perform the following checks:
NORMAL
FUNCTION
Doesn’t operate immediately:
Noise is heard:
Smells:
In the event of a malfunction (burning smell, etc.), immediately stop operation, disconnect the
Power Supply Plug, and consult authorized service personnel.
Merely turning off the unit’s power switch will not completely disconnect the unit from the power
source. Always be sure to disconnect the Power Supply Plug or turn off your circuit breaker to
ensure that power is completely off.
Symptom
● If the unit is stopped and then immediately started again, the compressor will not operate for about 3 minutes, in order to prevent
fuse blowouts.
●
Whenever the Power Supply Plug is disconnected and then reconnected to a power outlet, the protection circuit will operate for
about 3 minutes, preventing unit operation during that period.
● During operation and immediately after stopping the unit, the
sound of water flowing in the air conditioner’s piping may be
heard. Also, noise may be particularly noticeable for about 2 to 3
minutes after starting operation (sound of coolant flowing).
● During operation, a slight squeaking sound may be heard. This is
the result of minute expansion and contraction of the front cover
due to temperature changes.
●
During Heating operation, a sizzling sound may be heard occasional.
This sound is produced by the Automatic Defrosting operation.
● Some smell may be emitted from the indoor unit. This smell is
the result of room smells (furniture, tobacco, etc.) which have
been taken into the air conditioner.
Problem

—
Mist or steam are
emitted:
Airflow is weak or stops:
● During Cooling or Dry operation, a thin mist may be seen emitted
from the indoor unit. This results from the sudden Cooling of
room air by the air emitted from the air conditioner, resulting in
condensation and misting.
● During Heating operation, the outdoor unit’s fan may stop, and
steam may be seen rising from the unit. This is due to Automatic
Defrosting operation.
● When Heating operation is started, fan speed is temporarily very
low, to allow internal parts to warm up.
● During Heating operation, if the room temperature rises above
the thermostat setting, the outdoor unit will stop, and the indoor
unit will operate at very low fan speed. If you wish to warm the
room further, set the thermostat for a higher setting.
● During Heating operation, the unit will temporarily stop operation (between 7 and 15 minutes) as the Automatic Defrosting mode
operates. During Automatic Defrosting operation, the OPERATION
Indicator Lamp will flash.
● The fan may operate at very low speed during Dry operation or
when the unit is monitoring the room’s temperature.
● During SUPER QUIET operation, the fan will operate at very low
speed.
● In the monitor AUTO operation, the fan will operate at very low
speed.

MORE
If the problem persists after performing these checks, or if you notice burning smells, or the TIMER Indicator Lamp (Fig. 3 6)
and OPERATION Indicator Lamp (Fig. 3 5) flashes, immediately stop operation, disconnect the Power Supply Plug, and consult authorized service personnel.
Doesn’t operate at all:
Poor Cooling performance:
The unit operates
differently from the Remote
Control Unit’s setting:
● Is the Power Supply Plug disconnected its outlet?
● Has there been a power failure?
● Has a fuse blown out, or a circuit breaker been tripped?
● Is the timer operating?
● Is the Air Filter dirty?
● Air the air conditioner’s intake grille or outlet port blocked?
● Did you adjust the room temperature settings (thermostat) cor-
rectly?
● Is there a window or door open?
● In the case of Cooling operation, is a window allowing bright sun-
light to enter? (Close the curtains.)
● In the case of Cooling operation, are there heating apparatus and
computers inside the room, or are there too many people in the
room?
● Is the unit set for SUPER QUIET operation?
● Are the Remote Control Unit’s batteries dead?
● Are the Remote Control Unit’s batteries loaded properly?

OPERATING TIPS
Operation and Performance
Heating Performance
● This air conditioner operates on the heat-pump principle, absorbing heat from outdoor air and transferring that
heat indoors. As a result, the operating performance is
reduced as outdoor air temperature drops. If you feel that
insufficient heating performance is being produced, we
recommend you use this air conditioner in conjunction
with another kind of heating appliance.
● Heat-pump air conditioners heat your entire room by
recirculating air throughout the room, with the result that
some time may be required after first starting the air conditioner until the room is heated.
AUTO Restart
In Event of Power Interruption
● The air conditioner power has been interrupted by a
power failure. The air conditioner will then restart automatically in its previous mode when the power is restored.
● Operated by setting before the power failure.
Microcomputer-controlled Automatic Defrosting
● When using the Heating mode under conditions of low
outdoor temperature and high humidity, frost may form
on the outdoor unit, resulting in reduced operating performance.
In order to prevent this kind of reduced performance, this
unit is equipped with a Microcomputer-controlled Automatic Defrosting function. If frost forms, the air conditioner will temporarily stop, and the defrosting circuit will
operate briefly (for about 7-15 minutes).
During Automatic Defrosting operation, the OPERATION
Indicator Lamp (red) will flash.
If a power failure occurs during TIMER operation, the timer
●
will be reset and the unit will begin (or stop) operation at the
new time setting. In the event that this kind of timer fault
occurs the TIMER Indicator Lamp will flash (see Page. 3).
● Use of other electrical appliances (electric shaver, etc.) or
nearby use of a wireless radio transmitter may cause the
air conditioner to malfunction. In this event, temporarily
disconnect the Power Supply Plug, reconnect it, and then
use the Remote Control Unit to resume operation.
