• DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INSTALL THIS UNIT BY YOURSELF. THIS UNIT REQUIRES A QUALIFIED
INSTALLER.
• DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR THE UNIT BY YOURSELF. THIS UNIT SHOULD BE
PROFESSIONALLY REPAIRED.
• OPENING OR REMOVING THE COVER WILL EXPOSE YOU TO DANGEROUS VOLTAGES.
• TURNING OFF THE POWER SUPPLY WILL NOT PREVENT POTENTIAL ELECTRIC SHOCK.
WARNING
INSTALLATION WARNINGS
• Be sure to ask a dealer or a store specialized in electric work to install the air conditioner.
• If the air conditioner is improperly installed by yourself, it can cause some problems such as water
leaks, electric shock, fire, and so on.
• Be sure to always ground the air conditioner.
• Do not connect the ground wire to gas pipes, water pipes, lightning rods or ground wires of
telephones. If the air conditioner is improperly grounded, it can cause an electric shock.
CAUTION
TO DISCONNECT THE APPLIANCE FROM THE MAIN POWER SUPPLY
A switch or circuit breaker that can disconnect all poles must be included in the fixed wiring. Be
sure to use an approved circuit breaker or switch.
OPERATION WARNINGS
• Avoid cooling the room too strongly or exposing yourself to cool wind for a long time because it can
be detrimental to your health.
• Never insert fingers or sticks into the air outlet and air inlet to avoid getting injured and damaging the
machine because there are fans running at a high speed inside both the air inlet and air outlet.
• When you notice something unusual with the air conditioner (such as a burning smell or weak cooling
power), immediately turn off the main switch and the circuit breaker from the main power supply to
stop the air conditioner, and contact the dealer.
• If the air conditioner is operated continuously when something is wrong, it can cause machine failure,
electric shock, fire, and so on.
• Do not spill water or other liquid on the indoor unit. If the unit is wet, it can cause an electric shock.
MOVEMENT AND REPAIR WARNINGS
• Do not attempt to move or repair the unit by yourself.
• Do not disassemble the unit. As there is high voltage inside the unit, you may receive an electric
shock.
• Always ask the dealer to move the air conditioner for re-installing it in another place. If it is improperly
installed, it can cause electric shock or fire.
• Whenever the air conditioner needs repairs, request repairs from the dealer.
If the air conditioner is repaired improperly it can cause an electric shock or fire.
• Securely lay the drain hose for the best draining results.
• Incorrect drainage can cause flooding in the house and furniture to get wet.
• Be sure to connect the air conditioner to a dedicated power supply having the rated voltage.
Otherwise, the unit can break down or cause a fire.
• Do not install the unit in a place where inflammable gas can leak. A fire can result if inflammable gas
accumulates around the unit.
• The indoor unit shall be installed so that the top of the indoor unit is at least 2 m in height. Also, avoid
putting anything on the top of the indoor unit.
OPERATION CAUTIONS
• Carefully read this manual before starting the air conditioner. The manual includes a lot of important
information for daily operation.
• Do not use this air conditioner for other purposes such as preserving food, precision instruments, art
objects, breeding animals, or growing potted plants.
• Do not install this air conditioner in a special-purpose room such as a ship or any kind of vehicle.
Doing so could harm machine performance.
• Avoid exposing potted plants and animals to wind from the air conditioner because it harms their
health and growth.
• When the air conditioner is operated in close proximity to a combustion device, pay careful attention
to ventilation and let fresh air into the room.
Poor ventilation can cause an oxygen shortage.
• When the air conditioner is used in a closed room, pay careful attention to the ventilation of the room.
Poor ventilation can cause an oxygen shortage.
• Do not touch the operation buttons with wet hands. Doing so could cause an electric shock.
• Do not place any combustion device in a place where it is directly exposed to wind from the air
conditioner. Doing so could cause incomplete combustion.
• When the air conditioner is not to be used for an extended period of time, turn off the main switch or
the circuit breaker for added safety. Disconnecting from the power supply protects the unit from
lightning and power surges.
• Do not put a container with water such as a vase on the unit because water can enter into the unit
and cause an electric shock due to deterioration in the electric insulation.
• Check the concrete blocks underneath the outdoor unit occasionally. If the base is left damaged or
deteriorated, the unit can topple over and could possibly cause an injury.
• Do not wash the unit with water. This could cause an electric shock.
• Do not use alcohol, benzene, thinner, glass cleaner, polishing powder or other solvent for cleaning
the unit because they can deteriorate and damage the air conditioner.
• Before cleaning the unit, be sure to turn off the main switch or circuit breaker to prevent injuries from
the electric fan running inside.
• For details of the cleaning method, refer to “USUAL MAINTENANCE” and “SPECIAL
MAINTENANCE” on pages 20 to 23.
• Do not put anything on or step on the indoor unit and outdoor unit. If you do so, it can topple over and
cause an injury.
• To allow the air conditioner to operate at maximum performance, operate within the operating
temperature range specified in the instructions. Failure to do so can cause a malfunction, break
down, or water to leak from the unit.
• It is recommended that maintenance be performed by a specialist when the unit has been operated
for a long time.

CLEANING OPERATION
Cleaning operation
This function is used to dry the inside of the air conditioner to reduce the growth of mold, etc. inside the air conditioner.
• When the unit shuts down after having operated for 10 or more minutes in the cooling or dry mode, the cleaning operation is started
automatically, and the S.CLEAN indicator on the unit’s display panel turns on.
Cleaning operation duration
• The cleaning operation lasts for 4 hours if the unit has been operating in the cooling or dry mode for 10 minutes or more.
About the cleaning operation
• The cleaning operation will not make the room cleaner or remove the mold and dust already inside the air conditioner.
• During operation, a small amount of frost may be visible: this is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.
• The vertical airflow louvers open slightly.
• If an ongoing cleaning operation is suspended, the effect of the cleaning will be compromised.
• To forcibly stop the cleaning operation, press the button twice during the cleaning operation.
Before you clean the air conditioner, be sure to turn off the circuit breaker or main power switch.
Cleaning of indoor unit and remote controller
CAUTION
• Use a dry cloth to wipe the indoor unit and remote controller.
• When the air conditioner is extremely dirty, use a cloth dipped in cold water to wipe the indoor
unit.
• Never use a damp cloth on the remote controller.
• Do not use a chemical-based duster for wiping or leave such materials on the unit for extended
periods of time. Doing so could damage or cause the surface of the unit to fade.
• Do not use benzine, thinner, polishing powder, or other solvents for cleaning.
These can cause the plastic surface to crack or deform.
When not using the unit for at least 1 month
(1) Perform fan operation for 3 to 4 hours to dry the inside of the unit.
• If a high temperature setting is used with cooling operation, fan operation is performed.
(2) Stop the air conditioner and turn off the circuit breaker.

NOTE
Cleaning and maintenance of the indoor/outdoor units are strongly recommended
for air conditioning systems which are used regularly.
Failure to clean the indoor/outdoor units regularly will result in poor cooling
performance, icing, water leakage and even premature compressor failure.
1. Turn off the air conditioner using the remote controller.
2. Turn off the power supply.
• Clean the plasma pure filter when the FILTER indicator (orange) turns on.
(This indicator turns on after PURE operation of about 1000 hours.)
• After cleaning is finished, push the RESET button on the indoor unit.
• Perform cleaning every six months or so.
• Even if the FILTER indicator does not turn on, clean the plasma pure filter whenever the unit makes a humming, clicking, or buzzing
sound. If the indicator turns on during the night, the air conditioner can still be used until the morning without a problem, but be sure
to perform cleaning as soon as possible.
1Open the air inlet grille.
Lift up the air inlet grille until it clicks into place.
2Grasp the left and right handles of the air filter and lift up slightly and then pull
downward to remove the filter from the filter holder.
3Take out the plasma pure filter.
• Grasp the handles, and then pull out as shown in a and b.
Checks after cleaning the plasma pure filter
1. Confirm the FILTER indicator does not turn on by activating PURE operation for
one hour or more.
<If it does not turn on, it is normal>
2. If the FILTER indicator turns on, recheck the following.
a) Fitting of the plasma pure filter
b) Fitting of the air inlet grille
And, reconfirm the FILTER indicator does not turn on by activating PURE operation for another one hour or more.
<If it does not turn on, it is normal>
3. In case the FILTER indicator does turn on, please call a service representative.
(1) Soak in hot water at 40 to 50°C for about 10 to 15 minutes. If the staining is particularly
severe, use a washing detergent compound (weak basic or neutral) at 10 to 15 times
the standard concentration.
(2) Rub up and down, and rub left and right. Also, rub the surface gently with a sponge.
(3) Rinse with running water.
(4) Shake thoroughly, and allow the unit to drain.
(If oil or smoke strains are particularly hard to remove, repeat steps (1) to (4) 2 or 3
times.)
(5) Dry thoroughly in the shade.
CAUTION
• Never use any products marked as “bleach”.
• Do not attempt to disassemble the unit.
• Do not rub with a scrubbing brush or similar implement.
• Do not utilize washing devices or equipment.
• Do not dry with a hair dryer or other appliance that uses hot air. (The heat can cause the unit
to deform.)
• After cleaning, wait until the unit is completely dried before attaching. The FILTER indicator
may turn on if the unit is used while wet.
• Grasp the handles, and then insert as shown in a. Insert into the right and left guide rails,
and then press in the direction of b after it is all the way in.
• Press both ends of the plasma pure filter in the direction of c until the protrusions on both
sides of the plasma pure filter are completely inserted into the holders.

into the holders. If installation is incomplete, the FILTER indicator (orange) may light.
6Attach the air filter, and then close the air inlet grille.
A protection feature is provided that prevents the air conditioner from being activated for approximately 3 minutes when it is restarted
immediately after operation or when the power supply switch is set to on. This is used to protect the machine.
Heating characteristics
Preheating operation
The air conditioner does not deliver warm air immediately after it is started.
Warm air flows out after approximately 5 minutes when the indoor heat exchanger has warmed up.
Warm air control
When the room temperature reaches the temperature setting, the fan indoor speed is automatically reduced.
The outdoor unit is stopped at this time.
Defrosting
If frost has formed on the outdoor unit during the heating operation, defrosting is started automatically (for approximately 5 to 10
minutes) to maintain the heating effect.
• The fans in both the indoor and outdoor units stop during the defrost operation.
• During the defrost operation, defrosted water is drained from the bottom plate of the outdoor unit.
Heating capacity
In the heating operation, heat is absorbed from outdoors and released into the room. That is called the heat pump system. When the
outdoor temperature is too low, usage of another heating apparatus in combination with the air conditioner is recommended.
Consideration for accumulated snow
Select the position for the outdoor unit where it will not be subjected to snow drifts, accumulation of leaves or other seasonal debris. It
is important that the air flow of the outdoor unit is not blocked as this will result in reduced heating or cooling performance. During the
heating mode and at sub-zero temperatures, the water drained off the outdoor unit as a result of the automatic defrost may
accumulate and freeze. It is important that adequate drainage or a soak-way be provided.
Power failure
Power failure during operation stops the unit completely.
• The OPERATION indicator (green) on the indoor unit starts flashing when power is restored.
• To restart operation, push the button on the remote controller.
• Lightning or a car wireless telephone operating nearby may cause the unit to malfunction. Turn the power supply switch off and then
on again. Push the button on the remote controller to restart.
Air conditioner operating conditions
For proper performance, operate the air conditioner under the following temperature conditions.
Cooling operationOutdoor temperature: –10°C to 46°C
Room temperature: 21°C to 32°C
CAUTION
Room relative humidity — less than 80%. If the air conditioner operates outside this
range, the surface of the air conditioner may attract condensation.
Heating operationOutdoor temperature: –15°C to 24°C
Room temperature: Less than 28°C
Dry operationOutdoor temperature: –10°C to 46°C
Room temperature: 17°C to 32°C
If the air conditioner is used in conditions other than above, the safety protection functions may be activated.
If any of the following conditions occur, stop the air conditioner immediately, turn off the main power switch and contact the
dealer.
• The indicators flash at short intervals (5 Hz). Reset the circuit breaker 2 to 3 minutes after the power main switch is turned off.
Despite the resetting operation, the indicators still continue turning on and off.
• The main power fuse often blows, or the circuit breaker is often activated.
• Foreign matter or water has fallen inside the air conditioner.
• Any other unusual conditions are observed.
Before asking for servicing or repairs, check the following points.
Inoperative
• The power main switch is turned off.
• The circuit breaker is activated to cut off the power supply.
• The main power fuse has blown.
• The electric current has stopped.
• The batteries in the remote controller used up.
• The ON timer is set.
• As a protective mechanism for the air conditioner, it does not operate for 3 minutes
immediately after restarting operation or turning on the main power.
Poor cooling or heating performance
Recheck
• The air inlet or outlet of the outdoor unit is blocked.
• Doors or windows are opened.
• The air filter is clogged with dust.
• The louver is not at the correct position.
• The fan speed is set to low.
• The air conditioner is set to the DRY or SLEEP MODE.
• The temperature setting is too high (during cooling operation).
• The temperature setting is too low (during heating operation).
Condensation forms on the back of the indoor unit.
• Condensation on the back of the indoor unit is automatically collected and drained out.
Indoor unit or outdoor unit makes a strange noise.
• When the temperature changes sharply, the indoor or outdoor unit may make a strange
noise (such as a tit-tack noise or flowing noise) because of the expansion/contraction of
parts or change in refrigerant flow.
The room air smells.
A bad odor comes from the air conditioner.
• Smells absorbed in the wall, carpet, furniture, clothing, or furs are coming out.
• During PURE operation, a small amount of ozone is produced, and you might notice the
smell.
Before asking for servicing or repairs, check the following points.
The OPERATION indicator turns on and off.
• The indicator turns on and off (1 Hz) when power is restored after a power failure or when
the power main switch is set to on. Reset the circuit breaker to ON.
Frost forms on the outdoor unit during heating operation.
Water is drained from the outdoor unit.
• Frost sometimes forms on the outdoor unit during heating operation. In that case, the unit
automatically performs defrosting (for 2 to 10 minutes) for improving the heating efficiency.
• In the defrosting operation, the airflow from both the indoor and outdoor units stops.
• A hiss sound is heard when the flow of the refrigerant is changed for defrosting.
• The water resulting from automatic defrosting during the heating operation is drained from
the outdoor unit.
The air flow changes even though the FAN button is not set to the AUTO mode.
• When the temperature of the blown air goes down during heating operation, the air
conditioner automatically changes or stops the air flow from the indoor unit so that the
people in the room do not feel chilly.
A white mist of chilled air or water is generated from the outdoor unit.
• Steam is sometimes generated from the indoor unit during cooling operation or the
outdoor unit during defrosting operation.
Automatic operation of vertical air flow louvers
• When the room temperature or outdoor temperature is high during the heating operation,
the vertical air flow louvers close once and then set themselves automatically to the
original position setting again.
These are not defects.
The FILTER indicator turns on.
• This indicator turns on after PURE operation has been performed for approximately 1000
hours.
• The indicator may turn on if the front panel is not firmly closed.
• The indicator may turn on if the plasma pure filter is not securely attached.
Sounds made from the indoor unit
• The plasma pure filter may make a humming, clicking, or buzzing sound when it is dirty.
• When the power is turned on or the air conditioner is stopped, the vertical air louvers may
make a rattling sound or shuttling sound.
• Some parts may expand or shrink due to temperature fluctuations, and this can result in a
slapping sound.
• When the refrigerant is flowing, a hissing sound or gurgling sound can result.
• A hissing sound can be made when the air conditioner is switched to defrosting operation
during heating operation.
Sounds made from the outdoor unit
• A rustling sound can be made when the air conditioner is switched to defrosting operation
during heating operation.
