OPERATION
Instructions relating to heating (*) are applicable only to “HEAT & COOL MODEL” (Reverse Cycle).
About Mode Operation
AUTO:
COOLING MODEL
● When the room temperature is 4 °F
higher than the set temperature, the
mode will switch between Cooling and
Drying.
● During the Drying mode operation, the
FAN setting should be switched to LOW
for a gently cooling effect during which
the fan may temporarily stop rotating.
● If the mode automatically selected by the
unit is not satisfactory, see page 7 for instructions on changing the mode setting
(COOL, DRY, FAN).
AUTO (* AUTO CHANGEOVER):
HEAT & COOL MODEL (Reverse cycle)
● When AUTO CHANGEOVER is selected, the air conditioner selects the appropri-
ate operation mode (Cooling or Heating) according to your room’s present temperature.
● When AUTO CHANGEOVER is first selected, the fan will operate at very low speed
for about one minute while the unit determines the current conditions of the
room and accordingly selects the proper operation mode.
● When the air conditioner has adjusted your room’s temperature to near the ther-
mostat 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 satisfactory, see page 7 for
instructions on changing the mode setting (HEAT, COOL, DRY, FAN).

*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 light (red) will flash, and the heat
operation will be interrupted.
Cooling:
● Use to cool your room.
Dry:
● Use for gently cooling while dehumidifying your room.
● You cannot heat the room during Dry mode.
● During Dry mode, the unit will operate at low speed; in order to adjust room
humidity, the indoor unit’s fan may stop from time to time. Also, the fan may
operate at very low speed when detecting room humidity.
● The fan speed cannot be changed manually when Dry mode has been selected.
Fan:
● Use to circulate the air throughout your room.
* During Heating mode:
Set the thermostat to a temperature setting that is higher than the current room
temperature. The Heating mode will not
operate if the thermostat is set lower than
the actual room temperature.
During Cooling/Dry mode:
Set the thermostat to a temperature setting that is lower than the current room
temperature. The Cooling and Dry modes
will not operate if the thermostat is set
higher than the actual room temperature
(in Cooling mode, the fan alone will operate).

TIMER OPERATION
About the 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 twentyfour hour period.
● The first timer function to operate will be the one set nearest to the current time. The order of operation is indicated by the arrow in the remote control unit’s display
(OFF → ON, or OFF ← ON).
● One example of PROGRAM timer use might be to have
the air conditioner automatically stop (OFF timer) after
you go to sleep, then start (ON timer) automatically in
the morning before you rise.
About the ON timer
● The timer function is designed to bring your room to a
comfortable temperature by the set time; as a result, the
unit automatically begins operation before the set time
so that the room reaches the desired temperature by the
time set on the timer (“Nice-Morning Timer”).
● The hotter it is in summer, or the colder it is in winter , the
earlier that operation will begin.
* During Heating Operation .......from 45 to 10 minutes be-
fore set time.
During Cooling/Dry Operation ... from 20 to 10 minutes be-
fore set time.
During Fan Operation.............. at the set time.
SLEEP TIMER OPERATION

3. Clean the air filters.
Remove the dust from the air filters by vacuuming or
washing them. After washing, allow the air filters to dry
thoroughly in an area protected from sunlight.
● When used for extended periods, the unit may accumulate dirt inside, reducing its performance. We recommend that the
unit be inspected regularly, in addition to your own cleaning and care. For more information, consult authorized service
personnel.
● When cleaning the unit’s body, do not use water hotter than 100 °F, harsh abrasive cleansers, or volatile agents like
benzene or thinner.
● Do not expose the unit body to liquid insecticides or hairsprays.
● If the unit will not be operated for a period of one month or more, be sure to allow the inner parts of the unit to dry
thoroughly, in advance, by operating the unit in fan mode for half a day.
Base
● Dust can be cleaned from the air filter either with a vacuum
cleaner, or by washing the filter in a solution of mild detergent and warm water . If you wash the filter, be sure to
allow it to dry thoroughly in a shady place before reinstalling.
● If dirt is allowed to accumulate on the air filter, air flow
will be reduced, lowering operating efficiency and increasing noise.
● During periods of normal use, the air filters should be
cleaned every two weeks.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Instructions relating to heating (*) are applicable only to “HEAT & COOL MODEL” (Reverse Cycle).
In the event of a malfunction (burning smell, etc.), immediately stop operation, turn off the elec-
WARNING!
Before requesting service, perform the following checks:
trical breaker, and consult authorized service personnel.
Merely turning off the unit’s power switch will not completely disconnect the unit fr om the power
source. Always be sure to turn off the electrical breaker to ensure that power is completely off.

FUNCTION
Symptom
Doesn’t operate immediately:
Noise is heard:
Odor:
Problem
● 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 is disconnected and then reconnected, 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 swoosh sound may be heard occa-
sionally. This sound is produced by the Automatic Defrosting operation.
● Occasionally an odor may be emitted from the indoor unit. This
may be the result of room odors (furniture, tobacco, etc.) which
have been taken into the air conditioner.

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 opera-
tion (between 7 and 15 minutes) as the Automatic Defrosting mode
operates. During Automatic Defrosting operation, the OPERA TION
indicator light will flash.
● The fan may operate at very low speed during Dry operation or
when the unit is monitoring the room’s temperature.
● In the monitor AUTO operation, the fan will operate at very low
speed.

● 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?
● Is 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?
● Are the remote control unit’s batteries dead?
● Are the remote control unit’s batteries loaded properly?
