TROUBLESHOOTING
Instructions relating to heating (*) are applicable only to “HEAT & COOL MODEL” (Reverse Cycle).
WARNING!
Before requesting service, perform the following checks:
In the event of a malfunction (burning smell, etc.), immediately stop operation, disconnect the
power supply plug or turn off the circuit 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 disconnect the power supply plug or turn off your circuit breaker to
ensure that power is completely off.
NORMAL
FUNCTION
Symptom
Doesn’t operate immediately:
Noise is heard:
Smells:
Mist or steam are
emitted:
Problem
● If the 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 power supply plug is disconnected and then reconnected to a power outlet, the protection circuit will operate for about
3 minutes, preventing unit operation during that period.
● During operation and 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 coolant flowing).
● 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 occa-
sionally. 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 air conditioner.
● 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.

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 opera-
tion (between 7 and 15 minutes) as the Automatic Defrosting mode
operates. During the Automatic Defrosting operation, the OPERATION indicator lamp will flash.
● 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.
*● During Heating operation, water may be produced from the out-
door unit due to the Automatic Defrosting operation.
● Clean the filter. Afterwards, turn the FILTER lamp off. See the
operating manual that came with your remote control unit for the
method for turning off the FILTER lamp.

OPERATING TIPS
Instructions relating to heating (*) are applicable only to “HEAT & COOL MODEL” (Reverse Cycle).
*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 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.
*
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.
set temperature, the fan speed becomes slower.
*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. If frost forms, the air conditioner will temporarily stop, and the defrosting circuit will
operate briefly (for about 4 to 15 minutes).
During Automatic Defrosting operation, the OPERATION
indicator lamp (red) will flash.
*Low Ambient Cooling
● When the outdoor temperature drops, the outdoor unit’s
fans may switch to Low Speed.
*Hot start (for heating)
● 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.

OPERATING TIPS
Mode operation: AUTO
COOLING MODEL
● When the room temperature is 2 °C higher than the set
temperature, the mode will switch between Cooling and
Drying.
HEAT & COOL MODEL (Reverse Cycle)
Auto changeover function
● When AUTO CHANGEOVER is selected, the air conditioner
selects the appropriate operation mode (Cooling or Heating) according to your room’s present temperature.
● When AUTO CHANGEOVER is first selected, the fan will
operate at a very low speed for about 1 minute while the
unit determines the current conditions of the room and
selects the proper operation mode.
If the difference between thermostat setting and actual
room temperature is more than +2 °C
→ Cooling or dry operation.
(Monitor operation may be selected if the outdoor temperature is low.)
If the difference between thermostat setting and actual
room temperature is within ±2 °C
→ Monitor operation.
If the difference between thermostat setting and actual
room temperature is more than –2 °C
→ Heating operation.
(Monitor operation may be selected if the outdoor temperature is high.)
● During the Drying mode operation, the FAN setting should
be switched to LOW for a gently cooling effect during
which the fan may temporarily stop rotating.
● When the room temperature is near the thermostat setting, the air conditioner will begin monitor operation. In
the monitor operation mode, the fan will operate at a very
low speed. If the room temperature subsequently
changes, the air conditioner will once again select the
appropriate operation (Heating or Cooling) to adjust the
temperature to the value set in the thermostat. (The monitor operation range is ±2 °C relative to the thermostat
setting.)
About Mode Operation
Heating: ● 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 OPERATION indicator Lamp will flash, and the heat operation will be interrupted.
● After the start of heating operation, it takes sometime before the room
gets warmer.
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 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.
Fan:● Use to circulate the air throughout your room.
During Heating mode:
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.
En-9
AUTO Restart
In Event of Power Interruption
● 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.
● Should a power failure occur during TIMER operation, the
timer will be reset and the unit will begin (or stop) operating under the new timer setting. In this event, the TIMER
indicator lamp (green) 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
disconnect the power supply plug, reconnect it, and then
use the remote control unit to resume operation.
Multi-type Air conditioner
This indoor unit 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.
Simultaneous Use of Multiple Units
Instructions relating to inverter (
● 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 structure 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 op-
erating modes.
If the indoor unit is instructed to do an operating mode
that it cannot perform, the OPERATION indicator lamp
(red) on the indoor unit will flash (1 second on, 1 second off) and the unit will go into the standby mode.

❖
● 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
(red) 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.

OPERATING TIPS
Notice
Instructions relating to heating (*) are applicable only to “HEAT & COOL MODEL” (Reverse Cycle).
*● 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.
