❚ INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
DANGER
The system is meant for domestic, residential etc. use.
If used in inferior environments, such as an engineering workplace, the equipment
may function poorly.
Do not install near places where inflammable gas may leak.
LPG
Gas leaks may cause fire.
Make sure that you drain the hose properly, so that all the
water has dripped out.
The system must be installed by your dealer or a qualified professional.
It is not advisable to install the system yourself, as faulty handling may cause leakage of water, electric shock or fire.
CAUTION
Depending on the place of installation, a circuit breaker may
be necessary.
If you don’t fit a circuit breaker, you may cause an electric shock.
Make sure that the system has been properly earthed.
Negligence may cause flooding in the room resulting in wet furniture.
❚ OPERATION PRECAUTIONS
Do not expose yourself to the cooling
air for prolonged periods.
This could affect your physical condition and cause
health problems.
Only use approved fuses.
Use of steel or copper wire instead of an approved
fuse is strictly forbidden, as it may cause a breakdown
or fire.
Earth cables should never be connected to a gas pipe, municipal water pipe, lightning conductor or telephone earth cable. Incorrect installation of the earth cable
may produce an electric shock.
DANGER
Do not insert anything into the air inlet.
This may cause injury, as the internal fan rotates at
high speed.

Installing, inspecting, and replacing the natural enzyme filter and the photocatalytic washable deodorizing filter
• Installing the natural enzyme filter and the photocatalytic washable deodorizing filter
1. Open the air inlet panel and remove the air filters.
2. Install the filter holders, with the natural enzyme filter and the photocatalytic washable
deodorizing filter installed in the holders, in the air-conditioner.
3. Install the air filters and close the air inlet panel.
NOTE
The natural enzyme filter and the photocatalytic washable
deodorizing filter may be installed on either the right or left side of
the air-conditioner.
•
Inspecting and replacing the natural enzyme filter and the photocatalytic washable deodorizing filter
1. Open the air inlet panel and remove the air filters.
2. Remove the filter holders, with the natural enzyme filter and the photocatalytic washable
deodorizing filter installed in the holders, from the air-conditioner.
3. Remove the natural enzyme filter from the filter holder and inspect the filter. Use a vacuum
cleaner to remove any dust or dirt from the natural enzyme filter. Replace the natural enzyme
filter 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 filter is used.)
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 dirty, 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.
(Do not dispose of the filter holders. They are reused.)
4. Install the natural enzyme filter and the photocatalytic washable deodorizing filter in the filter
holders, and then install the filter holders in the air-conditioner.
5. Install the air filters and close the air inlet panel.
For replacement natural enzyme filters and photocatalytic washable deodorizing filters, contact your dealer.
CAUTION
Do not expose natural enzyme filters to direct sunlight for an extended period. The bacteriolytic effect will be lost.

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.
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.

Power Blackout Auto Restart Function
■ What is power blackout auto restart function?
• Power blackout auto restart function is a function that records the operational status of the air-conditioner immediately prior to it being switched off
by a power cut, and then automatically resumes operations at that point after the power has been restored.
• The following settings will be cancelled:
1 Timer settings
2 HIGH POWER operations
NOTE
• Ther power blackout auto restart function is set at on when the air-conditioner is shipped from the factory. Consult with your dealer if this
function needs to be switched off.
• When power failure ocurrs, the timer setting is cancelled. Once power is resumed, reset the timer.
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.
