FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS
INVERTER
At the start of operation, a large power is used to bring the room quickly to the desired temperature. Afterward, the air conditioner automatically switches to a low power setting for economic and comfortable operation.
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.
10°C HEAT OPERATION
The room temperature can be maintained at 10°C so as to prevent the room temperature from falling too far.
ECONOMY OPERATION
When economy operation mode is operated, the room tem­perature will be little higher than the set-temp under cool­ing mode and lower than set-temp under heating mode. Therefore, the economy mode is able to save more energy than other normal mode.
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 indoor unit’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 indoor unit au­tomatically turns off.
WIRELESS REMOTE CONTROLLER
The Wireless Remote Controller allows convenient control of indoor unit operation.
SWING OPERATION
The Airflow Direction Louvers swings automatically up and down so that the air speeds to every nook and corner of your room.
SUPER QUIET OPERATION
When the FAN button is used to select QUIET, the indoor unit begins super-quiet operation; the indoor unit’s airflow is reduced to produce quieter operation.
AIR CLEANING FILTER
Air cleaning filter uses static electricity to clean fine particles and dust in the air 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 to the filter. Note that when the air cleaning filter is installed, the amount of air produced decreases, causing a slight decrease in the indoor unit’s performance.
WIRED REMOTE CONTROLLER (OPTION)
The optional wired remote controller can be used. When you use remote controller, there are following different points as compared with using wireless remote controller.
[The additional functions for wired ones]
• Weekly timer
• Temperature set back timer
And you can use both wired and wireless remote controller simultaneously. (But function is limited) When the restricted functions on the remote controller are used, beeping sound will be heard, OPERATION, TIMER and the 3rd lamp of the indoor unit will flash.

perature is within ±2 °C Monitor operation
If the difference between thermostat setting and actual room tem-
perature is more than –2 °C Heating operation
(Monitor operation may be selected if the outdoor temperature is high.)
When the indoor unit 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 indoor unit 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 indoor 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 indoor unit 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 outdoor unit, and its performance may be reduced. In order to remove such frost, the air conditioner 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 DEFROST Indicator Lamp (Fig.3 8) will light, 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 indoor 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.

About ECONOMY Operation
In case of single-type air conditioner, at the maximum output, ECONOMY Operation is approximately 70% of normal air conditioner operation for cooling and heating.
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.
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 cooling
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.
While 10˚C HEAT OPERATION is in progress, only Airflow direction set can be used.

TROUBLESHOOTING
WARNING!
Symptom
Doesn’t operate immediately:
Noise is heard:
Smells:
Mist or steam is emitted:
Airflow is weak or stops:
Water is produced from the outdoor unit:
Problem
If the indoor 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 electrical breaker is turned off then on again the protection circuit will operate for about 3 minutes, preventing unit operation during that period.
During operation or 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 refrigerant flowing).
During operation, a slight squeaking sound may be heard. This is the result of minute expansion and contraction of the front panel 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 indoor unit.
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 cool air emitted from the indoor unit, 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 indoor 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, and the DEFROST Indica­tor Lamp will light.
During Dry mode, the indoor 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.
During SUPER QUIET operation, the fan will operate at very low speed.
In the monitor of AUTO operation, the fan will operate at very low speed.
In case of Multi-type unit, if multiple units are operated in differ­ent operation modes as shown below, the units operated after­ward will stop and the OPERATION indicator lamp will flash.

FUNCTION
In the event of a malfunction (burning smell, etc.), immediately stop operation, turn off the elec­trical 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 turn off the electrical breaker to ensure that power is completely off.
Before requesting service, perform the following checks:

Items to check
Has the circuit breaker been turn off?
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)
correctly?
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 QUIET operation?
Are the Remote Controller’s batteries dead?
Are the Remote Controller’s batteries loaded properly?
OPERATING TIPS
If the problem persists after performing these checks, or if you notice burning smells, or the OPERATION Indicator Lamp (Fig. 3 5) and the TIMER Indicator Lamp (Fig. 3 6) flashes, immediately stop operation, turn off the electrical breaker and consult authorized service personnel.
Operation and Performance
Heating Performance
This air conditioner operates on the heat-pump principle, absorbing heat from outdoor air and transferring that heat to indoor unit. 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.
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 air conditioner is equipped with a Microcomputer­controlled 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 will flash, and the DEFROST Indicator Lamp will light.
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.
(However, some type of multi-type air conditioner doesn't provide this function.)

OPERATING TIPS
Multi-type Air conditioner
In the case of the indoor unit which can be connected to a multi-type outdoor unit : The multi-type air conditioner allows multiple indoor units to be operated in multiple locations. The indoor units may be operated simultaneously, in accordance with their respective output.
Operation can be done in the following different operat­ing modes.
Cooling mode and dry mode
Cooling mode and fan mode
Dry mode and fan mode
The operating mode (heating mode or cooling (dry) mode) of the outdoor unit will be determined by the op-
erating mode of the indoor unit that was operated first. If the indoor unit was started in fan mode, the operating mode of the outdoor unit will not be determined.
For example, if indoor unit (A) was started in fan mode and then indoor unit (B) was then operated in heating mode, indoor unit (A) would temporarily start opera­tion in fan mode but when indoor unit (B) started oper­ating in heating mode, the OPERATION indicator lamp (green) for indoor unit (A) would begin to flash (1 sec­ond on, 1 second off) and it would go into standby mode. Indoor unit (B) would continue to operate in heating mode.
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.
Notice
Simultaneous Use of Multiple Units
When using a multi-type air conditioner, the multiple indoor units can be operated simultaneously, but when two or more indoor units of the same group are oper­ated simultaneously, the heating and cooling efficiency will be less than when a single indoor unit is used alone. Accordingly, when you wish to use more than one in­door unit for cooling at the same time, the use should be concentrated at night and other times when less out­put is required. In the same way, when multiple units are used simultaneously for heating, it is recommended that they be used in conjunction with other auxiliary space heaters, as required.
Seasonal and outdoor temperature conditions, the struc- ture of the rooms and the number of persons present may also result in differences of operating efficiency. We recommend that you try various operating patterns in order to confirm the level of heating and cooling out­put provided by your units, and use the units in the way that best matches your family’s lifestyle.
If you discover that one or more units delivers a low level of cooling or heating during simultaneous operation, we recommend that you stop simultaneous operation of the multiple units.
Operation cannot be done in the following different op­erating modes.
If the indoor unit is instructed to do an operating mode that it cannot perform, the OPERATION indicator lamp (green) on the indoor unit will flash (1 second on, 1 sec­ond off) and the unit will go into the standby mode.
Heating mode and cooling mode (or dry mode)
Heating
mode and fan mode
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.
AUTO Restart
In Event of Power Interruption
The power supply to the air conditioner is stopped by a power interruption. The air conditioner will then restart automatically in its previous mode when the power is restored.
If a power interruption occurs during TIMER operation, the timer will be reset and the indoor 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 turn off the circuit breaker, turn it on and then use the Remote Controller to resume operation.
