SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS
INVERTER
At the start of operation, large amount of power is used to bring the room quickly to the desired temperature. After­wards, the unit automatically switches to a low power setting for economic and comfortable 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.
SUPER QUIET OPERATION
When the FAN button is used to select QUIET, the indoor unit begins super quiet operation; the indoor unit’s air ow is reduced to produce quieter 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.
Convenient function
WEEKLY TIMER
Use this timer function to set operating times for each day of the week. Use the DAY OFF setting to switch off timed operation for a selected day in the coming week. Because all days can be set together, the weekly timer can be used to repeat the timer settings for all of the days.
TEMPERATURE SET BACK TIMER
Use this timer function to change the set temperature in the operation times set for each day of the week. This can be used together with other timer settings.
REMOVABLE INTAKE GRILLE
The indoor unit’s intake grille can be removed for easy cleaning and maintenance.
MILDEW-RESISTANT FILTER
The air  lter has been treated to resist mildew growth, thus allowing cleaner use and easier care.
Remote controller
WIRED REMOTE CONTROLLER
The wired remote controller allows convenient control of in­door unit operation.

CLEANING AND CARE
Cleaning the Air Filter
1. Push the intake grille’s hooks inward to-
wards the center of the unit to open the intake grille.
2. Pull out the  lter from the intake grille.
Before cleaning the unit, be sure to stop the unit and turn off the electrical breaker.
A fan operates at high speed inside the unit, and personal injury could result.
Be careful not to drop the intake grille.
As the  lter cleaning involves high-altitude operation, please consult the professional technical service
personnel.
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 40 °C, 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.
3. Clean the air  lter.
Remove the dust from the air  lters by vacuuming or washing
them. After washing, allow the air  lters to dry thoroughly in an area protected from sunlight.
4. Re-attach the air filters to the intake grille.
1 Replace the air  lter into its holder. 2 Make sure that the air  lter makes contact with the  lter

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 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:
WARNING
Symptom Problem
See Page
NORMAL
FUNCTION
Does not operate imme­diately:
If the unit is stopped and then immediately started again, the com-
pressor 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.
Noise is heard:
During operation and immediately after stopping the unit, the sound
of water  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  owing).
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 sizzling sound may be heard occasionally. This sound is produced by the automatic defrosting operation.
17
Smells:
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.
Mist or steam are emitted:
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.
17
Air ow is weak or stops:
*
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 operation
(between 4 and 15 minutes) as the automatic defrosting mode oper­ates. During the automatic defrosting operation,
will be shown
on the remote controller display.
17
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
speed.
Water is produced from the outdoor unit:
*
During heating operation, water may be produced from the outdoor
unit due to the automatic defrosting operation.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Instructions relating to heating (*) are applicable only to “HEAT & COOL MODEL” (Reverse Cycle).
OPERATING TIPS
Instructions relating to heating (*) are applicable only to “HEAT & COOL MODEL” (Reverse Cycle).
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
will be displayed 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.
Low Ambient Cooling
When the outdoor temperature drops, the outdoor unit’s fans may switch to low speed, or one of the fans may stop intermittently.
Hot Start*
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.
Dual Remote Controllers (optional)
An additional remote controller can be added up to the maximum of two remote controllers. Either remote controller can control the air conditioner. However, the timer functions cannot be used at the slave unit.
Group Control
One remote controller can control up to 16 air conditioners. All of the air conditioners will be operated with the same settings.
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 insuf 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  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.
Fan speed: AUTO
Heating*: The fan will operate at very low speed when the temperature
of the air issued from the indoor unit is low.
Cooling: As the room temperature approaches that of the set tempera-
ture, the fan speed becomes slower.
Fan: The fan runs at the low fan speed.
Symptom

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.
HEAT*: 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 heat operation will be interrupted.
After the start of heating operation, it takes sometime before the room gets
warmer.
COOL:
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 se-
lected.
FAN:
Use to circulate the air throughout your room.

AUTO [in HEAT & COOL (Reverse Cycle) model]:
Instructions relating to heating (*) are applicable only to “HEAT & COOL MODEL” (Reverse Cycle).
When AUTO (automatic changeover) is selected, the air conditioner selects the appropriate operation mode (cooling or
heating) according to your room’s present temperature.
When AUTO (automatic changeover) operation  rst selected, the fan will operate at low speed for about a few minute,
during which time the indoor unit detects the room conditions and selects the proper operation mode.
When the air conditioner has adjusted your room’s temperature to near the thermostat setting, it will begin monitor opera-
tion. 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.
If the mode automatically selected by the unit is not what you wish, select one of the mode operation (HEAT, COOL, DRY,
FAN).
AUTO (in COOLING model) :
When AUTO (automatic changeover) operation  rst selected, the fan will operate at very low speed for about a few minutes,
during which time the indoor unit detects the room conditions and selects the proper mode.

OPERATING TIPS
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.
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, reconnect it, and then use the remote controller to resume operation.
AUTO Restart
In Event of Power Interruption
Instructions relating to heating (*) are applicable only to “HEAT & COOL MODEL” (Reverse Cycle).
*
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.
*
During use of the heating mode, the outdoor unit will occa-
sionally 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.
