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 providing 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 semi­permanent 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 (Anti-Allergy Enzyme Filter)
Back side of air fi lter
Every 3 months:
• Remove dirt by a vacuum cleaner.
When dirt cannot be removed by vacuum cleaning:
Soak the fi lter and its frame in lukewarm water before rinsing it.
After washing, dry it well in shade.
Every year:
• Replace it with a new air cleaning fi lter for best performance.

WHEN YOU THINK THAT TROUBLE HAS OCCURRED
Even if these items are checked, when the unit does not recover from the trouble, stop using the air conditioner and consult your dealer.
Symptom Explanation & Check points
Indoor Unit
The unit cannot be operated.
The horizontal vane does not move.
The unit cannot be operated for about 3 minutes when restarted.
Mist is discharged from the air outlet of the indoor unit.
The swing operation of the HORIZONTAL VANE is suspended for a while, then restarted.
The airfl ow direction changes during operation. The direction of the horizontal vane cannot be adjusted with the remote controller.
The unit starts operation by itself when the main power is turned on, but hasn’t received sign from the remote control­ler.
The indoor unit discolors over time.
Outdoor Unit
The fan of the outdoor unit does not rotate even though the compressor is running. Even if the fan starts to rotate, it stops soon.
Water leaks from the outdoor unit.
Remote controller
The display on the remote controller does not appear or it is dim. The indoor unit does not respond to the remote control signal.
Does not cool
The room cannot be cooled suffi ciently.
• Is the breaker turned on?
• Is the power supply plug connected?
• Is the ON timer set? Page 7
• Are the horizontal vanes installed cor­rectly?
• Is the fan guard deformed?
• This protects the unit according to instruc­tions 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 upward 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 u­ence 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?
Page 4
• Are any buttons on the remote controller of other electric appliances being pressed?
• Is the temperature setting appropriate?
Page 5
