•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.

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.

•El dispositivo protector incorporado en el aparato puede impedir que éste continúe funcionando, cuando se use fuera de este margen.

•En la salida de aire puede formarse condensación, si el aparato funciona continuamente en el modo ENFRIAR o DESHUMECTAR, cuando la humedad ambiental es superior a un 80%.

FALLO DE CORRIENTE

Este acondicionador de aire tiene una función de memoria automática para almacenar la configuración cuando ocurra un fallo de corriente.

Después de retornar la corriente, el aparato se reinicializará automáticamente al mismo ajuste que estaba activo antes del fallo de la corriente, excepto los ajustes de reloj.

Si los relojes fueron ajustados antes del fallo de corriente, es necesario reajustarlos después de volver la corriente.

FUNCIÓN DE PRECALENTAMIENTO

Al funcionar en el modo CALENTAR, puede suceder que el ventilador interno tarde de dos a cinco minutos en comenzar a funcionar, después de haber conectado el aparato; esto tiene por objeto impedir que el aire frío salga fuera del aparato antes de que haya alcanzado la temperatura suficiente.

FUNCIÓN DE DESHIELO

•Al formarse hielo en el intercambiador térmico que hay en la unidad exterior al funcionar en el modo CALENTAR, un descongelador automático proporciona calor durante unos cinco a diez minutos, para retirar el hielo. Durante el deshielo el ventilador interior y el ventilador exterior dejan de funcionar.

•Una vez terminado el deshielo, el aparato continua funcionando en el modo CALENTAR.

EFICIENCIA CALORÍFICA

•El aparato emplea una bomba calorífica que extrae el calor del aire exterior, y lo despide dentro de la habitación. Por eso, la temperatura del aire exterior influye considerablemente en la eficiencia calorífica del aparato.

•Si el proceso de calentamiento es reducido debido a temperaturas bajas exteriores, utilice un calentador adicional.

•Hasta poder calentar la habitación completa puede tardar tiempo dado que el aparato emplea un circuito de circulación forzada del aire.

ALGUNOS CONSEJOS PARA AHORRAR ENERGÍA

A continuación se dan algunos consejos sencillos para ahorrar energía al usar el acondicionador de aire.

REGULE LA TEMPERATURA CORRECTA

•Al ajustar el termostato 1°C más que la temperatura deseada en el modo ENFRIAR y 2 °C menos en el modo CALENTAR ahorrará aproximadamente un 10 porciento en consumo de corriente.

•Si se regula una temperatura más baja que lo necesario para enfriar la habitación, aumentará el consumo de corriente.

BLOQUEE LOS RAYOS SOLARES DIRECTOS Y PREVENGA CORRIENTES DE AIRE

•Si bloquea la exposición del aparato a los rayos solares directos cuando utilice el aparato para enfriamiento, reducirá el consumo de corriente.

•Cierre las ventanas y puertas durante las operaciones de enfriar y calentar.

PARA OBTENER UNA OPTIMA CIRCULACIÓN DEL AIRE, REGULE DEBIDAMENTE EL SENTIDO DE LA CORRIENTE DE AIRE

PARA OBTENER UN FUNCIONAMIENTO EFICIENTE DEL APARATO, MANTENGA EL FILTRO SIEMPRE LIMPIO

APROVECHE AL MÁXIMO LAS FUNCIONES DE DESACTIVACIÓN CON TEMPORIZADOR

CUANDO NO SE VAYA A USAR EL APARATO DURANTE MUCHO TIEMPO, DESCONECTE EL CABLE DE ALIMENTACIÓN

• La unidad interior consume una pequeña cantidad de energía incluso al no estar funcionando.
