electronically, the range of control may be shorter.
This unit can be fixed on a wall using the fixture provided. Before fixing it, make sure the indoor unit can be controlled
from the remote controller.

● Handle the remote controller with care. Dropping it or getting it wet may compromise its signal transmission capability.

● After new batteries are inserted into the remote controller, the unit will initially require approximately 10 seconds to

respond to commands and operate.

AUTOMATIC OPERATION

The device will automatically determine the mode of operation, HEAT, COOL or DEHUMIDIFY depending on the current room
temperature. The selected mode of operation will change when the room temperature varies. However the mode of operation will
not change when indoor unit connected to multi type outdoor unit.

VARIOUS FUNCTIONS

■ Auto Restart Control

● If there is a power failure, operation will be automatically restarted when the power is resumed with previous operation mode

and airflow direction.
(As the operation is not stopped by remote controller.)

● If you intend not to continue the operation when the power is resumed, switch off the power supply.

When you switch on the circuit breaker, the operation will be automatically restarted with previous operation mode and airflow
direction.
Note: 1. If you do not require Auto Restart Control, please consult your sales agent or OFF by remote control.

2. Auto Restart Control is not available when Timer or Sleep Timer mode is set.

■ As the settings are stored in memory in the remote controller, you only have

to press the (START/STOP) button next time.

Press the FUNCTION selector so that the display indicates the (AUTO)
mode of operation.

● When AUTO has been selected, the device will automatically determine
the mode of operation, HEAT, COOL or DEHUMIDIFY depending on
the current room temperature. However the mode of operation will
not change when indoor unit connected to multi type outdoor unit.

● If the mode automatically selected by the unit is not satisfactory,
manually change the mode setting (heat, dehumidify, cool or fan).

Press the (START/STOP) button.
Operation starts with a beep.
Press the button again to stop operation.

You can raise or lower the temperature setting as necessary by maximum of
3°C.

Press the temperature button and the temperature
setting will change by 1°C each time.

● The preset temperature and the actual room temperature may vary
somewhat depending on conditions.

Press the FUNCTION selector so that the display indicates
(HEAT).

Set the desired FAN SPEED with the (FAN SPEED) button
(the display indicates the setting).

(AUTO) : The fan speed changes automatically

according to the temperature of the air which
blows out.

(HI) : Economical as the room will become warm

quickly.
But you may feel a chill at the beginning.

(MED) : Fan speed slow.

(LOW) : Fan speed slower.

(SILENT) : Fan speed ultra slower.

■ Defrosting

Defrosting will be performed about once an hour when frost forms on the heat exchange of the outdoor
unit, for 5~10 minutes each time.
During defrosting operation, the operation lamp blinks in cycle of 3 seconds on and 0.5 second off.
The maximum time for defrosting is 20 minutes.
However, if it is connected to multi type outdoor unit, the maximum time for defrosting is 15 minutes.
(If the piping length used is longer than usual, frost will likely to form.)
