CHECK

When using the wireless remote controller, point it towards the receiver on the indoor unit. If the remote controller is operated within approximately 2 minutes after power is supplied

to the indoor unit, the indoor unit may beep twice as the unit is performing the initial automatic check.

The indoor unit beeps to conﬁ rm that the signal transmitted from the remote controller has

been received. Signals can be received up to approximately 7 meters in a direct line from the indoor unit in an area 45° to the left and right of the unit. However, illumination such as ﬂ uorescent lights and strong light can affect the ability of the indoor unit to receive signals.

If the operation lamp near the receiver on the indoor unit is blinking, the unit needs to be

inspected. Consult your dealer for service.

Handle the remote controller carefully! Do not drop the remote controller or subject it to

strong shocks. In addition, do not get the remote controller wet or leave it in a location with high humidity.

To avoid misplacing the remote controller, install the holder included with the remote con-

troller on a wall and be sure to always place the remote controller in the holder after use.

Automatic operation

According to a set temperature, cooling operation starts if the room

temperature is too hot and heating operation starts if the room temperature is too cold.

During automatic operation, if the room temperature changes and

remains 2 °C, 4 °F or more above the set temperature for 15 minutes, the air conditioner switches to cooling mode. In the same way, if the room temperature remains 2 °C, 4 °F or more below the set temperature for 15 minutes, the air conditioner switches to heating mode.

Cooling mode

15 minutes (switches from cooling to heating )

15 minutes (switches from heating to cooling)

Set temperature +2°C, +4°F

Set temperature

Set temperature -2°C, -4°F

Because the room temperature is automatically adjusted in order to

maintain a ﬁ xed effective temperature, cooling operation is performed a few degrees warmer and heating operation is performed a few degrees cooler than the set room temperature once the temperature is reached (automatic energy-saving operation).

5.3. Temperature setting

To decrease the room temperature:

Press button 3 to set the desired temperature.

The selected temperature is displayed 3.

To increase the room temperature:

Press button 3 to set the desired temperature.

The selected temperature is displayed 3.

5.4. Fan speed setting

Press the Fan Speed button 5 as many times as necessary while the system is running.

In the following cases, the actual fan speed generated by the unit

will differ from the speed shown the remote controller display.

1. While the display is showing “STAND BY” or “DEFROST”.

2. When the temperature of the heat exchanger is low in the heating mode. (e.g. immediately after heating operation starts)

3. In HEAT mode, when room temperature is higher than the temperature setting.

4. When the unit is in DRY mode.

5.5. Airﬂ ow direction setting

* The louver button 7 cannot be used.

• Stop the unit operation, hold the lever of the louver, and

adjust to the desired direction.

* Do not set to the inside direction when the unit is

in the cooling or drying mode because there is a risk of condensation and water dripping.

Caution:

Having trouble? Here is the solution. (Unit is operating normally.)

Air conditioner does not heat or cool well.

When heating operation starts, warm air does not blow from the indoor unit soon.

During heating mode, the air conditioner stops before the set room temperature is reached.

Note:

When 2 or more different types of indoor unit are controlled, the cleaning

●

period differs with the type of ﬁ lter. When the master unit cleaning period arrives, “FILTER” is displayed. When the ﬁ lter display goes off, the cumu- lative time is reset. “FILTER” indicates the cleaning period when the air conditioner was used

●

under general indoor air conditions by criteria time. Since the degree of dirtiness depends on the environmental conditions, clean the ﬁ lter accord- ingly. The ﬁ lter cleaning period cumulative time differs with the model.

●

This indication is not available for wireless remote controller.

●

Clean the ﬁ lter. (Airﬂ ow is reduced when the ﬁ lter is dirty or clogged.)

■

Check the temperature adjustment and adjust the set temperature.

■

Make sure that there is plenty of space around the outdoor unit. Is the

■

indoor unit air intake or outlet blocked?

Has a door or window been left open?

■

Warm air does not blow until the indoor unit has sufﬁ ciently warmed

■

up.

When the outdoor temperature is low and the humidity is high, frost

■

may form on the outdoor unit. If this occurs, the outdoor unit performs a defrosting operation. Normal operation should begin after approximately 10 minutes.

Airﬂ ow direction changes during operation or airﬂ ow direction cannot be set.

When the airﬂ ow direction is changed, the vanes always move up and down past the set position before ﬁ nally stopping at the position.

Noise is louder than speciﬁ cations.

Nothing appears in the wireless remote controller display, the display is faint, or signals are not received by the indoor unit unless the remote controller is close.

The operation lamp near the receiver for the wireless remote controller on the indoor unit is blinking.

During cooling mode, the vanes automatically move to the horizontal

■

(down) position after 1 hour when the down (horizontal) airﬂ ow direc- tion is selected. This is to prevent water from forming and dripping from the vanes.

During heating mode, the vanes automatically move to the horizontal

■

airﬂ ow direction when the airﬂ ow temperature is low or during defrost- ing mode.

When the airﬂ ow direction is changed, the vanes move to the set po-

■

sition after detecting the base position.

These sounds can be heard when refrigerant is ﬂ owing in the air con-

■

ditioner or when the refrigerant ﬂ ow is changing.

These sounds can be heard when parts rub against each due to ex-

The indoor unit draws in air that contains gases produced from the

■

walls, carpeting, and furniture as well as odors trapped in clothing, and then blows this air back into the room.

If the indoor temperature and the humidity are high, this condition
