OPERATION
Instructions relating to heating (*) are applicable only to “HEAT & COOL MODEL” (Reverse Cycle).
About 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.
● 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.
● If the mode automatically selected by the
unit is not satisfactory, see page 6 for instructions on changing the mode setting
(COOL, DRY, FAN).
AUTO (* AUTO CHANGEOVER):
HEAT & COOL MODEL (Reverse cycle)
● When AUTO CHANGEOVER is selected, the air conditioner selects the appropriate operation mode (Cooling or Heating) according to your room’s present tem-
perature.
● When AUTO CHANGEOVER is first selected, the fan will operate at very low speed
for about one minute while the unit determines the current conditions of the
room and accordingly selects the proper operation mode.
● When the air conditioner has adjusted your room’s temperature to near the ther-
mostat setting, it will begin monitor operation. 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. (The monitor
operation range is ±2 °C relative to the thermostat setting.)
● If the mode automatically selected by the unit is not satisfactory, see page 6 for
instructions on changing the mode setting (HEAT, COOL, DRY, FAN).

*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 (red) will flash, and the heat
operation will be interrupted.
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 detecting 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:

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, 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.
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 switch is turned off then on again, 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.

Airflow is weak or stops:
Water is produced from
the outdoor unit:
*● 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.
*● 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 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.
● 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.

OPERATING TIPS
Instructions relating to heating (*) are applicable only to “HEAT & COOL MODEL” (Reverse Cycle).
Operation and Performance
*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.
*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, or one of the fans may
stop intermittently.
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 (see page 4).
● 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 control unit to resume operation.

OPERATING TIPS
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.
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.
