Air-conditioner operating conditions
■ Use within the following operational range. Operating outside of this range may result in the protection devices being activated, preventing the
unit from working.
Cooling operationHeating operation
Outside temperatureApproximately 21 to 43 °CApproximately -5 to 21 °C
Inside temperatureApproximately 21 to 32 °CApproximately 15 to 30 °C
Below approximately 80%
Inside humidity
The long-term use of the unit with a humidity level
exceeding 80% may result in condensation forming on the—
surface of the indoor unit, leading to water drips.
Characteristics of HEAT mode operation
Mechanism and capacity of HEAT mode operation
■ Mechanism
• The unit draws in heat from the cold outside air, transfers it indoors and heats the room. The heating capacity of the heat pump mechanism decreases
when the outside air temperature gets colder.
• The hot air circulation system takes a while before warming up the room temperature.
• If the outside temperature becomes extremely low, it would be better to use an additional source of heating.
Defrosting
If the outside temperature becomes low and humidity is high, the heat exchanger in the outdoor unit may frost over, which prevents efficient heating.
If this happens, the automatic defroster is activated and during defrosting the heating operation stops for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Both indoor and outdoor fans stop and the RUN light (green) blinks slowly (1.5 sec. ON, 0.5 sec. OFF) during defrosting.
• The outdoor unit may give off some steam during defrosting. This is to help the defrosting process and is not a defect.
• The HEAT operation resumes as soon as defrosting has been completed.

Adjusting air flow direction
■ Up/down direction can be adjusted with the AIRFLOW button on the remote control. Each time when you press this button the mode changes
as follows:
Change to AIRFLOW mode.
(Flap stopped)
NOTE
• When heating operation starts, the cold air outlet is blocked, so the flap move to the horizontal position, and resume the position that was set after the warm air
output begins.
• When the compressor stops because the room temperature is higher than the temperature setting and it is in DEFROSTING operation, the flap will be in the
horizontal position.
• The air flow direction cannot be set in the instances above. Change the air flow direction settings after the warm air starts flowing and it moves to the airflow
direction that had been set.
Adjusting left/right air flow direction
MEMORY FLAP (FLAP STOPPED)
When you press the AIRFLOW button once while the flap is operating, it stops swinging at an
angle.Since this angle is memorized in the microcomputer, the flap will automatically be set at this
angle when the next operation is started.
• Recommended angle of the flap when stopping
HEAT
• Avoid constant airflow to the body for hours on end.
• When in COOL or DRY operation, do not operate for hours on end with the air
flow blowing straight down. Otherwise, condensation may appear on the outlet
grill and drip down.

At the end of the season
Set the temperature setting for approximately a half
1
day at 30°C and perform the cooling operation.
Dry the inside of the unit.
Stop the unit and turn off the power switch.

The unit uses appr. 2W even when the power switch has been turned
off during the off-season for safety or for saving energy.
Clean and reinstall the air filters.

Installing, inspecting, and replacing the air-cleaning filter
1. Open the air inlet panel and remove the air filters.
2. Remove the filter holders, with the air-cleaning filter installed in the folders, from the air-conditioner.
3. Remove the photocatalytic washable deodorizing filter from the filter holder and inspect the
filter. Periodically, remove any dust or dirt from the photocatalytic washable deodorizing filter.
If the photocatalytic washable deodorizing filter is particularly dirt, it may be washed with water. However, the filter is fragile so be sure to wash it installed in the filter holder to avoid
damaging it. After washing the filter, place it in sunlight to dry. Placing the filter in sunlight
revitalizes the deodorizing effect.
Remove the natural enzyme filter from the filter holder and inspect the filters. Use a vacuum
cleaner to remove any dust or dirt from the natural enzyme filters. Replace the natural enzyme
filters if it cannot be cleaned or if it has been used for about 1 year.
(The natural enzyme filter should be replaced after about 1 year of use. However, the actual
replacement period may vary depending on the conditions in which the filters is used.)
(Do not dispose of the filter holders. They are reused. )
4. Install the air-cleaning filter in the filter holders, and then install the filter holders in the
air-conditioner.
At the beginning of the season
Make certain that there are no obstacles blocking the
1
air flow around the air intake and outlet openings of
the indoor and outdoor units.
Check the installation base for corrosion or rust.
2
Ensure that nothing has snapped and that the
earthed flex is not disconnected.
3
Ensure that the air filters are clean.
4
Turn on the power switch.
5
Insert batteries in the remote control.

Has the unit been installed correctly?
Suitable installation position
• Is there any obstruction in front of the indoor unit, preventing proper ventilation and functioning?
• Don’t install the unit in any of the following places:
• Where there is a danger of leaking inflammable gases.
• Where there is substantial splashing of oil.
• Malfunctioning due to corrosion may occur if the unit is installed in a spa where sulfide gases are generated, or in a seaside resort exposed to
sea breezes. Contact your dealer.
• The air-conditioner and remote control must be at least 1 metre away from a TV set or radio.
• Drain the dehumidified liquid from the indoor unit into a spot that drains well.
Pay attention to operating noises!
• When you install the unit, take care to choose a place that can comfortably stand the weight of the unit and does not increase the operating noise
or vibration. If there is any likelihood that vibration may be transmitted through the house, fix the unit with the aid of vibration-proof pads
between the unit and the fittings.
• Select a place where cold or hot air and operation noises from the indoor and outdoor units do not cause any inconvenience to your neighbours.
• Do not leave any obstacles near the outlet and inlet of the outdoor unit. This may cause malfunctioning and increased operating noise.
• If you hear an irregular noise during operation, contact your dealer.
Inspection and maintenance
Dependent upon service conditions and operating environment, the inside of the air-conditioner may become dirty after a number of seasons’
service (3 to 5 years). This will reduce performance. In addition to normal cleaning, we would recommend inspection and maintenance. (The airconditioner has a longer life without any trouble.)
• Contact your dealer, or any distributor, for inspection and maintenance. (There will be a charge for this service).
• We would recommend inspection and maintenance to be carried out during the off-season.
• If the supply cord of this appliance is damaged, it must only be replaced by a repair shop appointed by the manufacturer, because special
purpose tools are required.
Troubleshooting
Please carry out the following checks before making a service call.
The air-conditioner does not work at all.
Has the power switch been
turned off?
Have you set the thermostat at a
suitable temperature?
suitable
temperature
Is there any direct sunlight entering the room?
Has the timer been set in the
“ON” position?
Poor cooling or heating
Is the air filter clean? (Not
clogged?)
Poor cooling
Is there a heat source in the
room?
Is there a power failure or a
blown fuse?
Did you leave any doors or
windows open?
Are there too many people in
the room?
If the air-conditioner does not operate properly after you have checked
the left points, or if any doubt still
exists after you have consulted page
18, or if things happen as shown on
page 19, switch off the power and
contact your dealer.

Some steam escapes during COOL operation.
There is a slight smell.
You hear a slight gurgling sound.
Restarting has been blocked for 3 minutes after you have stopped or
after switching off the power during operation, to protect the unit.
Please wait for
three minutes.
The three-minute protection timer in the microcomputer automatically
starts up again.
Air flow has stopped to prevent blowing out of cold air until the indoor
heat exchanger has warmed up. (2 to 5 min.) (HOT KEEP)
When outdoor temperature is low and humidity is high, the unit sometimes performs defrosting automatically. Please wait. During defrosting, water or steam may escape from the outdoor unit.
The indoor fan may stop to prevent re-evaporation of dehumified
moisture and to save energy.
This may occur if the room's temperature and humidity are very high.
It disappears as soon as the temperature and humidity decrease.
Air blown out during operation may smell. This is caused by tobacco
or cosmetics sticking to the unit.
This is caused by liquid refrigerant moving within the piping of indoor
unit. Liquid refrigerant will be evaporated and become as gaseous refrigerant during passing through the pipe in order to absorb the heat
inside the room.
You hear a slight cracking sound.
You hear a hissing or clicking sound.
After a power cut, you cannot re-start, even if power has been restored, unless you have the power blackout auto restart function.
Remote control signals are not received.
Moisture may form on the air outlet grills.
Fan won't stop immediately after unit operation was
stopped.
RUN light stays on even though operation was stopped.
This is caused by expansion and contraction of plastic body. Temperature change of plastic material due to compressor’s alternative operation cause a slight cracking noise.
This is caused by the operation of the refrigerant control valves or
electric components.
The memory circuit of the microcomputer has been wiped out. Use the
remote control to start the operation again.
Remote control signals may not be received if the signal receiver on
the air-conditioner is exposed to direct sunlight or other bright light.
If so, cut out the sunlight or reduce the other light.
If the unit is operated for a long time in high humidity, moisture may
form on the air outlet grills and start dripping.
