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 ±2 °C 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 beginning 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 will flash, and the heat operation will be interrupted.
After the start of heating operation, it takes some time before the room gets warmer.
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 adjusting 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).
During Fan mode:
You can not use the unit to heat and cool your room.

About ECONOMY Operation
At the maximum output, ECONOMY Operation is approximately 70% of normal air conditioner operation for cooling and heating. When ECONOMY operation is performed during the cooling mode, dehumidification is improved. This function is especially convenient when you want to remove the humidity in the room without significantly lowering the room temperature. During ECONOMY operation, the thermostat setting automatically changes according to the temperature to avoid Unneces­sary cooling and heating for the most economical operation.
If the room is not cooled (or heated) well during economy operation, select normal operation.
Once air conditioner operation is stopped, normal operation begins when the indoor unit is turned on again.
During the monitor period in the AUTO mode, the air conditioner operation will not change to ECONOMY operation even if
ECONOMY operation is selected by pressing the ECONOMY operation button.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Instructions relating to heating (*) are applicable only to “HEAT & COOL MODEL” (Reverse Cycle).
WARNING!
Before requesting service, perform the following checks:
NORMAL
FUNCTION
Doesn’t operate imme­diately:
Noise is heard:
In the event of a malfunction (burning smell, etc.), immediately stop operation, disconnect the power supply plug or turn off the circuit breaker, 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.
Problem
See page
*During Heating operation, a sizzling sound may be heard occa-
sionally. This sound is produced by the Automatic Defrosting operation.

NORMAL
FUNCTION
Symptom
Smells:
Mist or steam are emitted:
Airflow is weak or stops:
Problem
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.
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 the 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 to a higher setting.
*During Heating operation, the unit will temporarily stop opera-
tion (between 4 and 15 minutes) as the Automatic Defrosting mode operates. During the 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 QUIET operation, the fan will operate at very low speed.
In the monitor AUTO operation, the fan will operate at very low

OPERATING TIPS
Instructions relating to heating (*) are applicable only to “HEAT & COOL MODEL” (Reverse Cycle).
*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.
*
When Indoor and Outdoor Temperature are High
When both indoor and outdoor temperatures are high during use of the heating mode, the outdoor unit’s fan may stop at times.
AUTO Restart
*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 4 to 15 minutes).
During Automatic Defrosting operation, the OPERATION indicator lamp will flash.
*Low Ambient Cooling
When the outdoor temperature drops, the outdoor unit’s fans may switch to Low Speed.
*Hot start (for heating)
The indoor unit prevents cold drafts when heating opera­tion begins.
The indoor unit fan will not operate or it will operate at a very low speed until the heat exchanger reaches the set temperature.
In Event of Power Interruption
Should the power supply to the air conditioner be inter­rupted by a power failure, the air conditioner will restart automatically in the previously selected mode once the power is restored.
Should a power failure occur during TIMER operation, the timer will be reset and the unit will begin (or stop) operating under the new timer setting. In this event, the TIMER indicator lamp will flash.
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.
Notice
Instructions relating to heating (*) are applicable only to “HEAT & COOL MODEL” (Reverse Cycle).
*During use of the heating mode, the outdoor unit will
occasionally commence the defrost operation for brief periods. During the defrosting operation, if the user sets the indoor unit for heating again, the defrosting mode will continue, and the heating operation will begin after completion of defrosting, with the result that some time may be required before warm air is emitted.
*During use of the heating mode, the top of the indoor
unit may become warm, but this is due to the fact that coolant is circulated through the indoor unit even when it is stopped; it is not a malfunction.
