Dust can be cleaned from the Air Filter either with a vacuum cleaner, or by washing the filter in a solution of mild detergent and warm water. If you wash the filter, be sure to allow it to dry thoroughly in a shady place before reinstalling. If dirt is allowed to accumulate on the Air Filter, air flow will be reduced, lowering operating efficiency and increasing noise. During periods of normal use, the Air Filters should be cleaned every two weeks.

Operation Tips

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 perfomance 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.

Instructions relating to heating (*) are applicable only to "HEAT & COOL TYPE".

*Microcomputer-controlled Automatic Defrosting

When using the Heating mode under conditions of low outdoor air temperature 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 7 to 15 minutes).
