Do not place a vessel with water on the unit. If water penetrates into the unit, electrical

7

insulations may deteriorate and cause electric shock.
Do not block the air inlets nor outlets of the unit. It may cause insufficient performance

8

or troubles.
Be sure to stop the operation and turn the circuit breaker off before performing any

9

maintenance or cleaning. A fan is rotating inside the unit and you may get injured.

• The built-in protective de­vice may prevent the unit
from operating when used
out of this range.

• Condensation may form on
the air outlet if the unit op­erates continuously in the
COOL or DRY mode when
humidity is over 80 percent.

WHEN POWER FAILURE OCCURS

This air conditioner has a memory function to store settings when a power failure occurs.
After power recovery, the unit will automatically re-start in the same settings which were active before the power
failure, except for timer settings.
If the timers were set before a power failure, they will need to be re-set after power recovery.

NOTES FOR MODELS AY-X08CR/AY-X10CR/AY-X13CR

PREHEATING FUNCTION

In the HEAT operation, the indoor fan may not start for two to five minutes after the unit is turned on to prevent
cold air from blowing out of the unit.

DE-ICING FUNCTION

• When ice forms on the heat exchanger in the outdoor unit during the HEAT operation, an automatic de-icer
provides heat for about 5 to 10 minutes to remove the ice. During de-icing, the inside and outside fans stop
operating.

• After de-icing is completed, the unit automatically resumes operation in the HEAT mode.

HEATING EFFICIENCY

• The unit employs a heat pump that draws heat from the outside air and releases it into the room. The outside
air temperature therefore greatly affects the heating efficiency.

• If the heating efficiency is reduced due to low outside temperatures, use an additional heater.

• It takes time to warm up and heat the entire room because of the forced air circulation system.

TIPS ON SAVING ENERGY

Below are some simple ways to save energy when you use your air conditioner.

ENGLISH

SET THE CORRECT TEMPERATURE

• Setting the thermostat 1°C higher than the desired temperature in the COOL mode (and 2°C lower in the
HEAT mode with models AY-X08CR/AY-X10CR/AY-X13CR) will save approximately 10 percent in power
consumption.

• Setting the temperature lower than necessary during cooling operation will result in increased power
consumption.

BLOCK DIRECT SUNLIGHT AND PREVENT DRAFTS

• Blocking direct sunlight during cooling operation will reduce power consumption.

• Close the windows and doors during cooling opeation (and heating operation with models AY-X08CR/AY­X10CR/AY-X13CR).

SET PROPER AIR FLOW DIRECTION TO OBTAIN THE BEST AIR
CIRCULATION

KEEP FILTER CLEAN TO ENSURE THE MOST EFFICIENT OPERATION
MAKE MOST OF THE TIMER OFF FUNCTION
DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD WHEN THE UNIT IS NOT USED FOR AN

EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME

• The indoor unit still consumes a small amount of power when it is not operating.
