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.
10 °C HEAT OPERATION
The room temperature can be set to go no longer than 10°C, 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 a 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.
For cooling, use horizontal airflow so the cool air does not
blow directly on the occupants in the room. For heating,
use downward airflow to send powerful, warm air to the
floor 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 flaps 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.

About ECONOMY Operation
•
At the maximum output, ECONOMY Operation is approximately 70% of normal air conditioner operation for cooling and heating. (Single-Type)
• At the maximum output, ECONOMY OPERATION (All indoor unit) is approximately 70% of normal air conditioner operation
for cooling and heating. (Multi-Type)
• During ECONOMY operation, the temperature 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

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.

FUNCTION
Symptom
Doesn’t operate immediately:
Noise is heard:
Smells:
Mist or steam is
emitted:
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 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 flash.
● 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 QUIET operation, the fan will operate at very low speed.
● In the monitor of AUTO operation, the fan will operate at very
low speed.

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 (green) will flash.
● 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
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.
Simultaneous Use of Multiple Units
● When using a multi-type air conditioner, the multiple
indoor units can be operated simultaneously, but when
2 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 1 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 1 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 op-
erating 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
●
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.
● 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.
● Operation can be done in the following different operat-
ing 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 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.
NOTES
●
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.
