WHEN POWER FAILURE OCCURS

This air conditioner has a back-up function in case of power failure during operation.
After power recovery, the unit will automatically restart in the same settings which were
before the power failure, except for timer operation settings.

If the timers are set, they will need to be reset after power recovery.

PREHEATING FUNCTION

In the HEAT operation, the indoor fan might not start for two to five minutes after the unit is turned on
to prevent the air from circulating before the unit is sufficiently warmed up.

DE-ICING FUNCTION

l When ice forms on the heat exchanger in the outdoor unit during the HEAT operation, an

automatic de-icer operates for about 5 to IO minutes to remove the ice. During de-icing, the inside
and outside fans stop operating.

l

A hissing sound may be heard originating from the indoor unit during de-icing.

l

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

A built-in protective device

actived

HEATING EFFICIENCY

l

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.

l If the outside temperature is unusually low, you may require additional heating to maintain the

desired room temperature.

l

On very cold days, it may take some time to heat the entire room, you may need to use the “full

power” feature to speed up heating.

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

i

SET THE CORRECT TEMPERATURE

a

Setting the temperature 1 “C higher in COOL mode, and 2°C lower in HEAT mode than the desired

temperature can result in a 10 percent saving in electricity.

l

Setting the temperature colder than necessary during cooling will result in excess power consump-

tion.

KEEP OUT DIRECT SUNLIGHT AND DRAFTS

l

Keeping out direct sunlight when cooling will aid in reducing the power consumption.

l

Close the windows and doors when heating and cooling the room.

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
UNPLUG THE POWER CORD WHEN THE UNIT IS NOT TO BE USED FOR AN

EXTENDED PERIOD

l

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

WARM AIR DOESN’T COME OUT

The unit is preheating or de-icing.

ODORS

A peculiar odor exuded by the carpet or
furniture might be emitted from the unit.

If the unit appears to be malfunctioning, check the following points before calling for

service.

l In the COOL and DRY operation,

water vapour can sometimes be
seen at the air outlet due to the
difference in temperature between
the room air and the outlet air.

Internal care

Dirty heads, capstans or pinch rollers can cause poor sound

and tape jams. Clean these parts with a cotton swab moist-

ened with commercial head/pinch roller cleaner or isopropyl

alcohol.
After long use, the deck’s heads and capstans may become

magnetised, causing poor sound. Demagnetise these parts
once every 30 hours of playing/recording time by using a
commercial tape head demagnetiser. Read the demagne­tiser’s instructions carefully before use.
