General precautions

WARNING

Do not install the unit in a place where large amounts of oil, steam, organic solvents, or corrosive gases, such as sulfuric gas, are present or where acidic/alkaline solutions or sprays are used frequently. These substances can compromise the performance of the unit or cause certain components of the unit to corrode, which can result in electric shock, malfunctions, smoke, or fire.

To reduce the risk of shorting, current leakage, electric shock, malfunctions, smoke, or fire, do not wash the controller with water or any other liquid.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, malfunctions, smoke or fire, do not operate the switches/buttons or touch other electrical parts with wet hands.

When disinfecting the unit using alcohol, ventilate the room adequately. The fumes of the alcohol around the unit may cause a fire or explosion when the unit is turned on.

To reduce the risk of injury or electric shock, before spraying a chemical around the controller, stop the operation and cover the controller.

To reduce the risk of injury or electric shock, stop the operation and switch off the power supply before cleaning, maintaining, or inspecting the controller.

If any abnormality (e.g., burning smell) is noticed, stop the operation, turn off the power switch, and consult your dealer. Continued use of the product may result in electric shock, malfunctions, or fire.

Properly install all required covers to keep moisture and dust out of the controller. Dust accumulation and water can cause electric shock, smoke, or fire.

CAUTION

To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, do not place flammable materials or use flammable sprays around the controller.

To reduce the risk of damage to the controller, do not directly spray insecticide or other flammable sprays on the controller.

To reduce the risk of environmental pollution, consult an authorized agency for proper disposal of remote controller.

To reduce the risk of electric shock or malfunctions, do not touch the touch panel, switches, or buttons with a pointy or sharp object.

4

To reduce the risk of injury and electric shock, avoid contact with sharp edges of certain parts.

To avoid injury from broken glass, do not apply excessive force on the glass parts.

To reduce the risk of injury, wear protective gear when working on the controller.

Precautions for moving or repairing the controller

WARNING CAUTION

•Operation modes that are not available to the connected indoor unit models will not appear on the display.

What the blinking mode icon means

The mode icon will blink when other indoor units in the same refrigerant system (connected to the same outdoor unit) are already operated in a different mode. In this case, the rest of the unit in the same group can only be operated in the same mode.

<Auto (dual set point) mode>

When the operation mode is set to the Auto (dual set point) mode, two preset temperatures (one each for cooling and heating) can be set. Depending on the room temperature, indoor unit will automatically operate in either the Cool or Heat mode and keep the room temperature within the preset range.

The graph below shows the operation pattern of indoor unit operated in the Auto (dual set point) mode.

•Preset cooling temperature is higher than preset heating temperature.

•The minimum temperature difference requirement between cooling and heating preset temperatures (varies with the models of indoor units
