ATTENTION
About batteries
Always replace two batteries at the same time. Replace
them with new ones of an identical type. Do not use manganese dry batteries since their use may
cause a malfunction. If you are not going to use the air conditioner for a long
period, take out all the batteries. Batteries should last for about a year under normal
conditions. When you find the displays unclear and signal communication often failing, replace them with new ones. Batteries may be exhausted even before the
recommended date of consumption printed on them, if the air conditioner was manufactured many months ago. Never try to recharge the batteries.

NOTE
Tips for saving energy
Be careful not to cool the room too much.
Keeping the temperature setting at a moderate level helps save energy.
Recommended temperature setting
For cooling: 26°C ~ 28°C
Cover windows with a blind or a curtain.
Blocking sunlight and air from outdoors increases the cooling effect. Clogged air filters cause inefficient operation and waste
energy. Cleaning lamp tells you when the air filters need cleaning. Clean them once in about every two weeks.
Please note
The air conditioner always consumes 15 ~ 35 watts of electricity
even while it is not operating. If you are not going to use the air conditioner for a long period, for
example in spring or autumn, turn the breaker OFF. Use the air conditioner in the following conditions.

Trouble Shooting
These cases are not troubles.
The following cases are not air conditioner troubles but have some reasons. You may just continue using it.
Case
Operation does not start soon.
When ON/OFF button was pressed soon after operation was stopped.
When the mode was reselected.
The outdoor unit emits water or steam.
Mists come out of the indoor unit.
The indoor unit gives out odour.
The outdoor fan rotates while the air conditioner is not in operation.
Explanation
This is to protect the air conditioner. You should wait for about 3 minutes.
In COOL or DRY mode
Moisture in the air condenses into water on the cool
surface of outdoor unit piping and drips.
This happens when the air in the room is cooled into mist by the cold air flow during cooling operation.
This happens when smells of the room, furniture, or cigarettes are absorbed into the unit and discharged
with the air flow.
(If this happens, we recommend you to have the indoor
unit washed by a technician. Consult the service shop where you bought the air conditioner.)
After operation is stopped:
The outdoor fan continues rotating for another 30
seconds for system protection.
While the air conditioner is not in operation:
When the outdoor temperature is very high, the out
door fan starts rotating for system protection.
The operation stopped sud­denly. (OPERATION lamp is on)
For system protection, the air conditioner may stop operating on a sudden large voltage fluctuation. It automatically resumes operation in about 3 minutes.

Trouble Shooting
Check again
Please check again before calling a repair person.
Case
The air conditioner does not operate. (OPERATION lamp is off)
Cooling or Heating effect is poor.
Operation stops suddenly. (OPERATION lamp blinks.)
Check
Hasnt a breaker turned OFF or a fuse blown?
Isnt it a power failure?
Are batteries set in the remote controller?
Is the address switch in the remote controller set
correctly?
(See page 6 Preparation Before Operation.)
Is the timer setting correct?
Are the air filters clean?
Is there anything to block the air inlet or the outlet of the
indoor and the outdoor units?
Is the temperature setting appropriate?
Are the windows and doors closed?
Are the air flow rate and the air direction set
appropriately?
Are the air filters clean?
Is there anything to block the air inlet or the outlet of the
indoor and the outdoor units?
Clean the air filters or take all obstacles away and turn the
breaker OFF. Then turn it ON again and try operating the air conditioner with the remote controller. If the lamp still blinks, call the service shop where you bought the air conditioner.
An abnormal functioning happens during operation.
The air conditioner may malfunction with lightening or
radio waves. Turn the breaker OFF, turn it ON again and try operating the air conditioner with the remote controller.

We recommend periodical maintenance
In certain operating conditions, the inside of the air conditioner may get foul after several seasons of use, resulting in poor performance. It is recommended to have periodical maintenance by a specialist aside from regular cleaning by the user. For specialist maintenance, contact the service shop where you bought the air conditioner. The maintenance cost must be born by the user.
