FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS
ECONOMY OPERATION
Limits the maximum operation current, and performs operation
with the power consumption suppressed. 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 set to go no longer than 50°F,
thus ensuring that the room does not get too cold when no occupied.
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 24 hour period.
SLEEP TIMER
When the “SLEEP” button is pressed during Heating mode, the
air conditioner’s temperature setting is gradually lowered during
the period of operation; during cooling mode, the temperature
setting is gradually raised during the period of operation. When
the set time is reached, the unit automatically turns off.
WIRELESS REMOTE CONTROLLER
The Wireless Remote Controller allows convenient control of air
conditioner operation.
HORIZONTAL AIRFLOW: COOLING/
DOWNWARD AIRFLOW: HEATING
For cooling, use horizontal airfl ow so the cool air does not blow
directly on the occupants in the room. For heating, use downward airfl ow to send powerful, warm air to the fl oor and create
a comfortable environment.
OMNI-DIRECTIONAL AIR FLOW
(SWING OPERATION)
3-dimensional control over air direction swing is possible through
dual use of both an UP/DOWN air direction swing and RIGHT/
LEFT air direction swing. Since UP/DOWN air direction fl aps
operate automatically according to the operating mode of the unit,
it is possible to set air direction based on the operating mode.
IMPORTANCE
You can use both wired and wireless remote controller simultaneously. But function is limited.

TROUBLESHOOTING
WARNING
• 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:
Symptom Problem
See Page
NORMAL
FUNCTION
Doesn’t operate immediately:
● 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.
—
Noise is heard:
● During operation or 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 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 occasional.
This sound is produced by the Automatic Defrosting operation.
14
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 indoor unit.
—
Mist or steam is
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 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.
14
Airfl 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
temperature 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 temperature 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.

OPERATING TIPS
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 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 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.)

● Did you adjust the room temperature settings (temperature) cor-
rectly?
● Is there a window or door open?
● In the case of Cooling operation, is a window allowing bright sunlight
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 SUPER QUIET operation?

OPERATING TIPS
● 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 operating mode
of the indoor unit that was operated fi rst. 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 fl ash (1 second on, 1 second off) and it
would go into standby mode. Indoor unit (B) would continue
to operate in heating mode.
NOTES
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 effi ciency 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 structure
of the rooms and the number of persons present may also
result in differences of operating effi ciency. We recommend
that you try various operating patterns in order to confi rm 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 fl ash (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.
• 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.
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 fl ash.
● 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.
