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.

ENGLISH

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-19

BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE

The following conditions do not denote equipment malfunctions

UNIT DOES NOT OPERATE

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 refrig-

erant 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 tempera-

ture 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 concen-

tration 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.

(Only for models GS-XPM9FGR/GS-XPM12FGR/GS-XPM18FGR)

INDOOR UNIT BECOMES WARM EVEN WHEN IDLE

This is because the refrigerant also floes 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 without accom-

panying air conditioning mode (er. 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)

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

E-20

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

IF THE UNIT FAILS TO OPERATE

Check to see if the circuit breaker has tripped or the fuse has blown.

IF THE UNIT FAILS TO COOL (OR HEAT) THE ROOM EFFECTIVELY

ENGLISH

Check the filters. If dirty, clean them.

Make sure windows and doors are closed tightly.

Check the outdoor unit to make

sure nothing is blocking the air in-

let or outlet.

A large number of people in the room can prevent the unit from

achieving the desired tempera-

ture.

Check the thermostat is proper setting.

Check whether any heat-generating appliances are operat-

ing in the room.

IF THE UNIT FAILS TO RECEIVE THE REMOTE CONTROL SIGNAL

Check whether the remote con-

trol batteries have become old and weak.

Please call for service when OPERATION Lamp and TIMER Lamp on the unit blink.

Try to send the signal again with

the remote control pointed properly towards the unit’s signal re-

ceiver window.

Check whether the remote con-

trol batteries are installed with the polarities properly aligned.
