Warning:
• The unit should not be installed by the user. Ask the dealer or an authorized company to install the unit. If the unit is installed improperly,
water leakage, electric shock or fire may result.
• Do not stand on, or place any items on the unit.
• Do not splash water over the unit and do not touch the unit with wet hands. An electric shock may result.
• Do not spray combustible gas close to the unit. Fire may result.
• Do not place a gas heater or any other open-flame appliance where it will be exposed to the air discharged from the unit. Incomplete
combustion may result.
• Ventilate the room if refrigerant leaks during operation.
If the refrigerant comes in contact with a flame, poisonous gases will be released.
• Do not remove the front panel or the fan guard from the outdoor unit when it is running. You could be injured if you touch rotating, hot or
high-voltage parts.
• Never insert fingers, sticks etc. into the intakes or outlets, otherwise injury may result, since the fan inside the unit rotates at high speed.
• If you detect odd smells, stop using the unit, turn off the power switch and consult your dealer.
• This air conditioner is NOT intended for use by children or infirm persons without supervision.
• Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the air conditioner.
Caution:
• Do not use any sharp object to push the buttons, as this may damage the remote controller.
• Never block or cover the indoor or outdoor unit’s intakes or outlets.
Disposing of the unit
When you need to dispose of the unit, consult your dealer. If pipes are removed incorrectly, refrigerant (fluorocarbon gas) may blow out and come into
contact with your skin, causing injury. Releasing refrigerant into the atmosphere also damages the environment.

Note:
● When two or more different types of indoor unit are controlled, the cleaning
period differs with the type of filter. When the master unit cleaning period
arrives, “FILTER” is displayed. When the filter display goes off, the cumula-
tive 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 filter accordingly.
● The filter cleaning period cumulative time differs with the model.
2.9.4.Flashing Error Codes
● If the ON lamp and error code are both flashing: This means that the air
conditioner is out of order and operation has been stopped (and cannot
resume). Take note of the indicated unit number and error code, then
switch off the power to the air conditioner and call your dealer or servicer.
● If only the error code is flashing (while the ON lamp remains lit): Operation is continuing, but there may be a problem with the system. In this
case, you should note down the error code and then call your dealer or
servicer for advice.
* If you have entered contact number to be called in the event of a
problem, push the Check button to display it on the screen. (You can
set this up under Function Selection of remote controller. For information, refer to section 2.10.)

3. Care and cleaning
3.1. Cleaning the filters and the indoor unit
Cleaning the filters
• Clean the filters using a vacuum cleaner. If you do not have a vacuum
cleaner, tap the filters against a solid object to knock off dirt and dust.
• If the filters are especially dirty, wash them in lukewarm water. Take care
to rinse off any detergent thoroughly and allow the filters to dry completely before putting them back into the unit.
Caution:
• Do not dry the filters in direct sunlight or by using a heat source,
such as an electric heater: this may warp them.
• Do not wash the filters in hot water (above 50°C), as this may warp
them.
• Make sure that the air filters are always installed. Operating the
unit without air filters can cause malfunction.
Caution:
• Before you start cleaning, stop operation and turn OFF the power
supply.
• The air filter should be obtained locally. Be sure to check on the
location and the way of setting with the contractor when the unit
perform a trial run. (Example) The air filter should be attached to
the indoor unit’s air intake (rear side of unit).

4. Troubleshooting
Before you call out a repair man, check the following table to see whether there is a simple solution to your problem.
[for wired remote controller]
Problem
Unit does not cool or heat very well.
The unit stops operating before ar-
riving at the set temperature in the
heating mode.
A white mist is expelled from the indoor unit.
The indicators of the remote controller do not light up when operated.
CENTRALLY CONTROLLED is displayed in the remote controller.
Clean the filter.
Frost forms when the outdoor tem-
perature is low and humidity is high.
Wait for about 10 minutes for the frost
to melt.
This may occur just after the unit is
turned on when a high level of humidity is present in the room.
Turn on the power switch. “ ” will
be displayed.
The start and stop functions of the
remote controller are not available
when the CENTRALLY CONTROLLED message is lit.
Solution
The start and stop functions are not
available just after restarting the unit.
“PLEASE WAIT” is displayed in the
remote controller.
An error code is displayed in the remote controller.
If none of the above apply, turn the main switch off and contact the dealer from whom you bought the air-conditioner, telling him the model name and the
nature of the problem. Do not try to fix the unit yourself.
Problem
Solution
Wait about three minutes (operation
has stopped to prevent damage to
the air conditioner).
An automatic startup test is being
performed (will last for about two minutes).
A self-diagnostic function is being
performed to preserve the air conditioner.
*Do not attempt to make repairs
yourself. Turn the main switch off
and contact the dealer from whom
you bought the air conditioner. Provide him or her with the name of the
unit and the information displayed
in the remote controller.
13
4. Troubleshooting
In any of the following cases, turn off the main power switch and contact your local dealer for service:
• The operation lamp (in the remote controller) flashes.
• The switches do not work properly.
• The circuit breaker trips frequently (or the fuse blows frequently).
• Water has accidentally been splashed into the unit.
• Water leaks from the unit.
• Something is accidentally dropped into the air-conditioner.
• An unusual noise is heard during operation.
The following do not indicate any malfunction:
Odours: smells such as tobacco or cosmetic odours may persist after they have been sucked into the unit.
Sound of liquid flowing inside indoor unit: this can occur during or after operation and is simply the sound of refrigerant being circulated inside the unit.
Ticking sound coming from indoor unit: this can occur when cooling or heating has just begun or has just stopped. It is caused by the indoor unit shrinking
or expanding slightly due to the change in temperature.
NOTE: The refrigerant charged in the air conditioner is safe. Refrigerant normally does not leak, however, if refrigerant gas leaks indoors, and comes into contact
with the fire of a fan heater, space heater, stove, etc., harmful substances will be generated.
Be sure to ask the service representative whether there is refrigerant leakage or not when repairs are carried out.
5. Installation, relocation and inspection
Installation place
Avoid installing the air conditioner in the following places.
• Where flammable gas could leak.
Inverter type
Radio
fluorescent lamp
To prevent picture
distortion or
noise, keep 1 m
or more apart.
TV
100 mm or more
Wellventilated dry
place
400 mm or more
Wall, etc.
Caution:
Do not install the unit where flammable gas could leak.
If gas leaks and collects around the unit, it may cause an explosion.
• Where there is much machine oil.
• Salty place such as the seaside.
• Where sulfide gas is generated such as a hot spring.
• Where there is oil splashing or much oily smoke.
Electrical work
• Provide an exclusive circuit for power supply of the air conditioner.
• Be sure to observe the breaker capacity.
To prevent the effect
of a fluorescent lamp,
keep it away as far
apart as possible.
Warning:
• The customer should not install this unit. If the unit is installed incorrectly, fire, electric shock, injury due to a falling unit, water leakage, etc.
may result.
• Do not connect using branched outlet or an extension cord, and do not attach many loads to one electric outlet.
A fire or electric shock may result from poor contact, poor insulation, exceeding the permissible current, etc.
Consult your dealer.
Caution:
• Apply grounding
Do not connect a grounding wire to a gas pipe, water pipe, lightning rod or ground wire of a telephone.
If a grounding is incorrect, it may cause an electric shock.
• Install an earth leakage breaker depending on the place where the air conditioner is to be installed (humid place, etc.).
If the earth leakage breaker is not installed, it may cause an electric shock.
Inspection and maintenance
• When the air conditioner is used for several seasons, the capacity may be lowered due to dirt inside the unit.
• Depending upon the conditions of use, an odor may be generated or dirt, dust, etc. may prevent proper drainage.
• It is recommended to apply inspection and maintenance (charged) by a specialist in addition to normal maintenance. Consult your dealer.
Also consider operation sound
• Do not put an object around the air outlet of the outdoor unit. It may cause lowering of capacity or increase operating sound.
• If abnormal sound is heard during operation, consult your dealer.
Relocation
• When the air conditioner is to be removed or reinstalled because of rebuilding, moving, etc., special techniques and work are required.
Warning:
Repair or relocation should not be done by the customer.
If this is done incorrectly, it may cause a fire, electric shock, injury by dropping of the unit, water leakage, etc. Consult your dealer.
