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.

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.

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 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 and heating operations.

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.

E-18

BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE

The following conditions do not denote equipment malfunctions

UNIT DOES NOT OPERATE

The unit will not operate if it is turned on immediately after it is turned off. The unit will not operate immediately after the mode is changed. This is to protect the internal mechanisms. Wait 3 minutes before operating the unit.

UNIT DOES NOT SEND OUT WARM AIR

The unit is preheating or de-icing.

ODORS

Carpet and furniture odors that entered into the unit and the air conditioner's inner component odors at the early stage of installation may be sent out from the unit.

CRACKING NOISE

The unit may produce a cracking noise. This sound is generated by the friction of the front panel and other components expanding or connecting due to a temperature change.

A LOW BUZZING NOISE EMITTED

This is a sound emitted when the unit is generating Plasmacluster ions.

SWISHING NOISE

The soft, swishing noise is the sound of the refrigerant flowing inside the unit.

WATER VAPOUR

• In the COOL and DRY operation, water vapour can sometimes be seen at the air outlet due to the difference between the room air temperature and the air discharged by the unit.

• In the HEAT operation, water vapour may flow out of the outdoor unit during de-icing.

THE OUTDOOR UNIT DOES NOT STOP

After stopping the operation, the outdoor unit will rotate its fan for about a minute to cool down the unit.

ODOR EMITTED FROM THE PLASMACLUSTER AIR OUTLET

This is the smell of ozone generated from the Plasmacluster ion generator. The ozone concentration is very small, posing no adverse effect on your health. The ozone discharged into the air rapidly decomposes, and its density in the room will not increase.

This is because the refrigerant also flows through the idle indoor unit's pipes when the other unit is operated in HEAT mode.

INDOOR UNIT BECOMES WARM EVEN WHEN NOT DURING HEATING OPERATION

When the PLASMACLUSTER button is pressed while the unit is not operating, the PLASMACLUSTER operation will be performed without accompanying air conditioning mode (e.g. HEATING or COOLING). At this time, you may feel warm air coming out from the unit air outlet if HEATING is performed with units in other rooms. Indoor fan will decrease its rotating speed and will turn ON and OFF depending on the room temperature.

UNIT DOES NOT OPERATE IN YOUR REQUESTED MODE

• When one indoor unit is operating in COOL or DRY mode, you can not operate the other unit in HEAT mode. (After a few seconds, a long BEEP will be emitted, and the OPERATION lamp and TIMER lamp will blink alternately.)

• When one indoor unit is operating in HEAT mode, you can not operate the other unit in COOL nor DRY mode. (After a few seconds, a long BEEP will be emitted, and the OPERATION lamp and TIMER lamp will blink alternately.)

UNIT DOES NOT SEND OUT AIR (PLASMACLUSTER operation without accompanying air conditioning mode, SELF CLEAN operation)

The other unit(s) is/are de-icing.

AVERTISSEMENTS

Ne pas tirer ou déformer le cordon d’alimentation. Le fait de tirer sur le cordon

d’alimentation ou une mauvaise utilisation de ce dernier peut endommager l’appareil et provoquer une électrocution.

Veiller à ne pas exposer votre corps directement à l’air évacué pendant une longue

période. Il risque d’affecter votre état physique. Lors de l’utilisation du climatiseur pour des nourrissons, de jeunes enfants, des

personnes âgées, des personnes alitées ou handicapées, s’assurer que la température de la pièce est appropriée aux personnes qui se trouvent dans la pièce.

FRANÇAIS

Ne jamais insérer d’objet dans l’appareil. Le fait d’insérer des objets peut provoquer des

blessures à cause de la rotation à grande vitesse des ventilateurs internes. Mettre le climatiseur sans faille à la terre. Ne pas connecter le fil de mise à la terre à un

tuyau de gaz, un tuyau d’eau, un paratonnerre ou un fil de mise à la terre du téléphone. Une mise à la terre incomplète risque de provoquer un choc électrique.

Si l’on constate n’importe quelle anomalie sur le climatiseur (ex : une odeur de brûlé),

l’arrêter immédiatement et couper le disjoncteur. L’appareil doit être installé conformément aux réglementations de câblage nationales.

Une connexion de câble incorrecte peut provoquer une surchauffe du cordon d’alimentation, de la fiche et de la prise électrique et provoquer un incendie.

Si le cordon d’alimentation est endommagé, il doit être remplacé par le fabricant ou son

agent d’entretien ou encore une personne possédant des qualifications similaires afin d’éviter tout danger. Utiliser uniquement le cordon d’alimentation spécifié par le fabricant pour le remplacement.

MISES EN GARDE POUR L’INSTALLATION/LE DEMONTAGE/ LA REPARATION

Cet appareil est conçu pour une utilisation privée. Ne pas l’utiliser pour d’autres

applications, comme par exemple dans un chenil ou une serre pour l’élevage d’animaux ou la culture de plantes.

Ne pas placer de récipient contenant de l’eau sur l’appareil. Si de l’eau pénètre dans

l’appareil, l’isolation électrique risque d’être détériorée et de provoquer une électrocution.

Ne pas bloquer les entrées et sorties d’air de l’appareil. Cela risque de provoquer un

fonctionnement insuffisant ou des pannes.

S’assurer d’arrêter l’utilisation et de couper le disjoncteur avant d’effectuer la maintenance

ou le nettoyage. Un ventilateur tourne à l’intérieur de l’appareil et risque de vous blesser.

Ne pas éclabousser ou verser de l’eau directement sur l’appareil. L’eau risque de

provoquer une électrocution ou d’endommager l’appareil.

Cet appareil n’est pas destiné à être utilisé par des enfants en bas âge ou des personnes

handicapées sans surveillance. Les jeunes enfants doivent être surveillés afin de s’assurer qu’ils ne jouent pas avec l’appareil.

Cet appareil n’est pas conçu pour être utilisé dans une région polaire.

PRECAUTIONS POUR L’EMPLACEMENT/INSTALLATION

• S’assurer de connecter le climatiseur à une alimentation de tension et de fréquence appropriées.

L’utilisation d’une alimentation ayant une tension et une fréquence incorrectes peut endommager l’appareil et provoquer un incendie.

• Ne pas installer l’appareil dans un endroit ou l’air est peu chargé en poussières, fumées et humidité. Il risque de provoquer un incendie.

Installer l’appareil dans un endroit peu poussiéreux, sans fumées ni humidité dans l’air.

• Arranger le flexible de vidange pour assurer un écoulement normal. Un écoulement insuffisant risque de mouiller la pièce, les meubles etc.
