What is _ENano platinum filter"?
Nano platinum is a ceramic particle that includes a platinum nanoparticle.
The particles are incorporated into the filter material, which results in pro-
viding semi-permanent antibacterial and deodorizing characteristics for the
filter. Nano platinum surpasses the catechin (a bioflavonoid that is found
in green tea) in performance. Nano platinum filter uses this compound not
only to improve air quality but also to eliminate bacteria and viruses. This air
filter has a semi-permanent lasting effect even after washing it with water.
(Electrostatic anti-allergy enzyme filter,

Every 3 months:
. Remove dirt by a vacuum cleaner.
When dirt cannot be removed by vacuum cleaning:
. Soak the filter and its frame in lukewarm water before rinsing it.
. After washing, dry itwelt in shade. Install all tabs of the air filter.
Every year:
. Replace it with a new air cleaning
filter for best performance.

* Clean the filters regularly for best performance and to
reduce power consumption,
* Dirty filters cause condensation in the air conditioner
which will contribute to the growth of fungi such as
mold. it is therefore recommended to clean air filters
every 2 weeks.

ZONTAL VANE is suspended for a
while, then restarted.
When SWING is selected in
COOL/DRY/FAN mode, the
lower horizontal vane does not
move.
The airflow direction changes
during operation.
The direction of the horizontal
vane cannot be adjusted with
the remote controller.
The operation stops for about
10 minutes in the heating
operation.
The unit starts operation by
itself when the main power is
turned on, but hasn't received
sign from the remote controller.
i.
Are the horizontal vane and the vertical vane
installed correctly?
Is the fan guard deformed?
When the breaker is turned on, the horizontal
vanes' position will be reset in about a minute.
After the reset has completed, the normal hori-
zontal vanes' operation resumes. The same is
true in the emergency cooling operation.
This protects the unit according to instructions
from the microprocessor. Please wait.
i.
The coot air from the unit rapidly cools moisture
in the air inside the room, and it turns into mist.
i.
This is for the swing operation of the HORIZON-
TAL VANE to be performed normally.
It is normal that the lower horizontal vane does
not move when SWING is selected in COOL/
DRY/FAN mode.
i" When the unit is operated in COOL or DRY
mode, if theoperation continues with air blowing
down for0.5 to 1hour, the direction of the airflow
is automatically set to horizontal position to
prevent water from condensing and dripping.
,. In the heating operation, if the airflow tem-
perature is too tow or when defrosting is being
done, the horizontal vane is automatically set
to horizontal position.
i • Outdoor unit is in defrost.
Since this is completed in max.10 minutes
please wait. (When the outside temperature is too
low and humidity is too high, frost is formed.)
i" 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 control-
ler just before the shutoff of the main power.
