FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS
INVERTER
At the start of operation, large amount of 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.
WIRELESS REMOTE CONTROLLER
The Wireless Remote Controller allows convenient control
of indoor unit operation.
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.
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.
MINIMUM HEAT OPERATION
The room temperature can be maintained at 50 °F so as to
prevent the room temperature from falling too far.
PROGRAM TIMER
The program timer allows you to integrate OFF timer and
ON timer operations in a single sequence. The sequence
can involve 1 transition from OFF timer to ON timer, or
from ON timer to OFF timer, within a 24 hour period.
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 button is used to select QUIET, the indoor
unit begins super-quiet operation; the indoor unit’s airfl ow
is reduced to produce quieter operation.
POLYPHENOL CATECHIN AIR CLEANING FILTER
The polyphenol catechin air cleaning filter uses static
electricity to clean fi ne particles and dust in the air such
as tobacco smoke and plant pollen that are too small to
see. The fi lter contains catechin, which is highly effective
against various bacteria by suppressing the growth of the
bacteria adsorbed to the fi lter.
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.
NEGATIVE AIR IONS DEODORIZING FILTER
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.
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.
SWING OPERATION
The Airflow Direction Louvers swings automatically up
and down so that the air speeds to every nook and corner
of your room.
REMOVABLE INTAKE GRILLE
The indoor unit’s Intake Grille can be removed for easy
cleaning and maintenance.
To facilitate explanation, the accompanying illustration has been drawn to show all possible indicators; in actual operation, however, the display will
only show those indicators appropriate to the current operation.

Before requesting service, perform the following checks:
NORMAL
FUNCTION
Doesn’t operate immediately:
Noise is heard:
Smells:
Mist or steam is
emitted:
Airfl ow is weak or stops:
Water is produced from
the outdoor unit:
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.
SymptomProblem
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 fl owing).
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 occasion-
●
al. 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 emit-
●
ted 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 fl ash.
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

OPERATING TIPS
Operation and Performance
Heating Performance
This air conditioner operates on the heat-pump princi-
●
ple, 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 insuffi cient 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 fi rst 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 briefl y (for about 7-15 minutes).
During Automatic Defrosting operation, the OPERATION
Indicator Lamp (green) will fl ash.
After heating operation stops, if frost forms on the out-
●
door unit, the unit will start Automatic Defrosting operation. At this time, the outdoor unit will automatically
stop after operating for a few minutes.
