CLEANING
Instructions:
• Switch off the power supply or turn off the breaker before cleaning.
• Be careful not to touch the metal parts with your hands.
• Do not use benzine, thinner, polishing powder, or insecticide.
Air fi lter (Nano platinum fi lter)
• Clean every 2 weeks
• Remove dirt by a vacuum cleaner, or rinse with water.
• After washing with water, dry it well in shade.
What is “Nano platinum fi lter”?
Nano platinum is a ceramic particle that includes a platinum nanoparticle.
The particles are incorporated into the fi lter material, which results in pro-
viding semi-permanent antibacterial and deodorizing characteristics for the
fi lter. Nano platinum surpasses the catechin (a biofl avonoid that is found
in green tea) in performance. Nano platinum fi lter uses this compound not
only to improve air quality but also to eliminate bacteria and viruses. This air
fi lter has a semi-permanent lasting effect even after washing it with water.
• Use only diluted mild detergents.
• Do not expose parts to direct sunlight, heat, or fi re to dry.
• Do not use water hotter than 120°F (50°C).
Air cleaning fi lter

• Are the horizontal vanes installed correctly?
• Is the fan guard deformed?
• This protects the unit according to instructio ns from the microprocessor. Please
wait.
• The cool air from the unit rapidly cools moisture in the air inside the room, and it turns
into mist.
• This is for the swing operation of the HORIZONTAL VANE to be performed normally.
• When the unit is operated in COOL or DRY
mode, if the operation continues with air
blowing down for 0.5 to 1 hour, the direction
of the air fl ow is automatically set to horizon-
tal position to prevent water from condensing
and dripping.
• These models are equipped with an auto restart function. When the main power is turned
off without stopping the unit with the remote
controller and is turned on again, the unit
starts operation automatically in the same
mode as the one set with the remote controller just before the shutoff of the main power.
Refer to “Auto restart function” page 5 .
• Although plastic turns yellow due to the infl u-
ence of some factors such as ultraviolet light
and temperature, this has no effect on the
product functions.
• When the outside temperature is low during cooling operation, the fan operates
intermittently to maintain suffi cient cooling
capacity.
• During COOL and DRY operations, pipe or
pipe connecting sections are cooled and this
causes water to condense.
• Are the batteries exhausted? Page 4
• Is the polarity (+, -) of the batteries correct?
