■■■■ About batteries
• When replacing the batteries, use batteries of the same type, and replace the two old
batteries together.
• When the system is not used for a long time, take the batteries out. In case the remote
controller is not used for a long time remove all batteries in order to prevent liquid leak of the
battery.
• We recommend replacing once a year, although if the remote controller display begins to
fade or if reception deteriorates, please replace with new alkali batteries. Using manganese
batteries reduces the lifespan.
• The attached batteries are provided for the initial use of the system.
The usable period of the batteries may be short depending on the manufactured date of the
air conditioner.
• Pressing two or more buttons simultaneously may cause the strange display of the Remote
controller.
The Remote controller is not malfunction. In this case take the batteries out and reset them.

NOTE
■■■■ Note on HEAT operation
• Since this air conditioner heats the room by taking heat from outdoor air to indoors, the
heating capacity becomes smaller in lower outdoor temperatures. If the heating effect is
insufficient, it is recommended to use another heating appliance in combination with the air
conditioner.
• The heat pump system heats the room by circulating hot air around all parts of the room.
After the start of heating operation, it takes some time before the room gets warmer.
• In heating operation, frost may occur on the outdoor unit and lower the heating capacity. In
that case, the system switches into defrosting operation to take away the frost.
• During defrosting operation, hot air does not flow out of indoor unit.
■■■■ Note on DRY operation
• The computer chip works to rid the room of humidity while maintaining the temperature as
much as possible. It automatically controls temperature and fan strength, so manual
adjustment of these functions is unavailable.
■■■■ Note on AUTO operation
• In AUTO operation, the system selects an appropriate operation mode (COOL or HEAT)
based on the room temperature at the start of the operation.
• The system automatically reselects setting at a regular interval to bring the room
temperature to user-setting level.
• If you do not like AUTO operation, you can manually select the operation mode and setting
you like.
■■■■ Note on airflow rate setting
• At smaller airflow rates, the cooling (heating) effect is also less.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
Trouble Shooting
Conditions that appear to be abnormal but are not operational problems.
The following cases are not abnormal problems and you may just continue using it.
Case Explanation
Operation does not start quickly.
• When ON/OFF button was pressed
soon after operation was stopped.
• When the mode was reselected.
Hot air does not flow out soon
after the start of heating
operation.
The heating operation stops
suddenly and a flowing sound is
heard.
The outdoor unit emits water or
steam.
Mists come out of the indoor unit.
The indoor unit gives out odor.
The outdoor fan rotates while the
air conditioner is not in operation.
The operation stopped suddenly.
(OPERATION lamp is on)
• This is to protect the air conditioner.
You should wait for about 3 minutes.
• The air conditioner is warming up. You should wait for 1 to 4
minutes.
(The system is designed to start discharging air only after it has
reached a certain temperature.)
• The system is taking away the frost on the outdoor unit.
You should wait for about 3 to 8 minutes.
■ In HEAT mode
• The frost on the outdoor unit melts into water or steam when
the air conditioner is in defrost operation.
■ In COOL or DRY mode
• Moisture in the air condenses into water on the cool
surface of outdoor unit piping and drips.
■ This happens when the air in the room is cooled into mist by the
cold airflow during cooling operation.
■ This happens when smells of the room, furniture, or
cigarettes are absorbed into the unit and discharged with the
airflow.
(If this happens, we recommend you to have the indoor unit
washed by a technician. Consult your authorized dealer where
you bought the air conditioner.)
■ After operation is stopped:
• The outdoor fan continues rotating for another 60
seconds for system protection.
■ While the air conditioner is not in operation:
• When the outdoor temperature is very high, the out door fan
starts rotating for system protection.
■ For system protection, the air conditioner may stop
operating on a sudden large voltage fluctuation.
It automatically resumes operation in about 3 minutes.
