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.
When ECONOMY operation mode is operated, the room temperature will be little higher than the set-temp under cool-
ing mode and lower than set-temp under heating mode. Therefore, the ECONOMY mode is able to save more energy
than other normal mode.
In case of multi-type air conditioner, the ECONOMY operation mode is only available for the set indoor unit.
CLEANING AND CARE
Before cleaning the unit, be sure to stop the unit and disconnect the power supply.
CAUTION!
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 104 °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 1 month or more, be sure to allow the inner parts of the unit to dry thor-
oughly, in advance, by operating the unit in fan mode for half a day.
Turn off the electrical breaker.
A fan operates at high speed inside the unit, and personal injury could result.
Cleaning the Air Filter
Remove the dust from the air fi lters by vacuuming or washing them. After washing, allow the air fi lters to dry thoroughly
in an area protected from sunlight.
Dust can be cleaned from the air fi lter either with a vacuum cleaner, or by washing the fi lter in a solution of mild deter-
gent and warm water. If you wash the fi lter, be sure to allow it to dry thoroughly in a shady place before reinstalling.
If dirt is allowed to accumulate on the air fi lter, air fl ow will be reduced, lowering operating effi ciency and increasing
noise.

Noise is heard:
Smells:
Mist or steam are
emitted:
Airfl ow is weak or stops:
During operation and immediately after stopping the unit, the
sound of water fl owing 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 fl owing)
* During Heating operation, a sizzling sound may be heard
occasionally. 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.
During Cooling or Dry operation, a thin mist may be seen emit-
ted 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,

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
insuffi cient heating performance is being produced, we
recommend you use this air conditioner in conjunction
with another type 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 fi rst 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.
*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. During the defrost cycle,
the indoor fan will shutdown and
on the remote controller. It will take anywhere from 4 to
15 minutes before the air conditioner starts up again.
After heating operation stops, if frost forms on the outdoor
unit, the unit will start Automatic Defrosting operation.
At this time, the outdoor unit will automatically stop after
operating for a few minutes.

Dual Remote Controllers (optional)
An additional remote controller can be added up to the
maximum of 2 remote controllers. Either remote controller
can control the air conditioner. However, the timer functions
cannot be used at the secondary unit.
Group Control
1 remote controller can control up to 16 air conditioners.
All of the air conditioners will be operated with the same
settings.
Group control cannot be used when using it by the multi
type.
When the room temperature is 4 °F higher than the set
temperature, the mode will switch between Cooling and
Drying.

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 out-
side 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 heat operation will be interrupted.
After the start of heating operation, it takes sometime before the
room gets warmer.
