A NOTE ABOUT SAFETY
Any time you see this symbol in manuals, instructions and on
the unit, be aware of the potential for personal injury. There are
three levels of precaution:
DANGER identifies the most serious hazards which will result in
severe personal injury or death.
WARNING signifies hazards that could result in personal injury or
death.
CAUTION is used to identify unsafe practices which could result
in minor personal injury or product and property damage.
NOTE is used to highlight suggestions which will result in
enhanced installation, reliability, or operation.
PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH AND / OR PROPERTY
DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury,
death or property damage.
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service,
maintenance, or use can cause explosion, fire, electrical shock,
or other conditions which may cause personal injury or
property damage. Consult a qualified installer, service agency,
or your distributor or branch for information or assistance. The
qualified installer or service agency must use
factory--authorized kits or accessories when modifying this
product.
Read and follow all instructions and warnings, including labels
shipped with or attached to unit before operating your new air
conditioner.
!WARNING
GENERAL
The ducted fan coil unit provides quiet, maximum comfort. In
addition to cooling and/or heating, the ducted fan coil unit
matched with an outdoor condensing unit filters and
dehumidifies the air in the room to provide maximum comfort.
IMPORTANT: The ducted fan coil unit should be installed by
authorized personnel only; using approved tubing and accessories.
If technical assistance, service or repair is needed, contact the
installer.
The ducted fan coil unit can be set up and operated from the
remote control (provided). If the remote is misplaced, the system
can be operated from the “Auto” setting on the unit.
Operating Modes:
The ducted fan coil unit has five operating modes:
SFan only
SAuto
SHeating (heat pump models only)
SCooling
SDehumidification (DRY)
Fan Only
In Fan Only mode, the system filters and circulates the room air
without changing room air temperature.
Auto
In Auto mode, the system automatically cools or heats the room
according to the user--selected set point.
Heating
In Heating mode, the system heats and filters the room air.
Cooling
In Cooling mode, the system cools, dries and filters the room air.
Dehumidification (DRY)
In Dehumidification mode, the system dries, filters and slightly
cools the room air temperature. This mode prioritizes air
dehumidification but it does not take the place of a
dehumidifier.
Wireless Remote Control
The remote control transmits commands to set up and operate the
system. The control has a window display panel that displays the
current system status. The control can be secured to a surface when
used with the mounting bracket provided.
Wired Remote Control (Optional)

REMOTE CONTROL
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment
damage.
Handle the control with care and avoid getting the control
wet.
CAUTION
!
IMPORTANT: The wireless remote control can operate the unit
from a distance of up to 25 ft. (7.6 m) as long as there are no
obstructions.
NOTE: If a Wireless Remote controller is used, relocate the IR
Receiver within line of sight of the remote location using the 6
ft. cable included. The factory location of the IR receiver is
inside the control box.
When the timer function is used, the remote control should be
kept in the vicinity of the fan coil (within 25 ft. / 7.6 m).
The remote control can perform the following basic functions:
STurn the system ON and OFF
SSelect the operating mode
SAdjust the room air temperature set point and fan speed
Refer to the Remote Control Function section for a detailed
description of all the remote control’s capabilities.
Battery Installation
Two AAA 1.5v alkaline batteries (included) are required to
operate the remote control.
To install or replace batteries:
1. Slide the back cover off the control to open the battery
compartment.
2. Insert the batteries. Follow the polarity markings inside the
battery compartment.
3. Replace the battery compartment cover.
NOTE:
1. When replacing batteries, do not use old batteries or a
different type battery. This may cause the remote control to
malfunction.
2. If the remote is not going to be used for several weeks,
remove the batteries. Otherwise battery leakage may
damage the remote control.
3. The average battery life under normal use is about 6
months.
4. Replace the batteries when there is no audible beep from the
indoor unit or if the Transmission Indicator fails to light.
5. When batteries are removed, the remote control erases all
programmed settings. The control must be reprogrammed
after insertion of new batteries.
Remote Control Operation -- Quick Start
NOTE: When transmitting a command from the remote control to
the unit, be sure to point the control toward the right side of the
unit. The unit confirms receipt of a command by sounding an
audible beep.
1. Turn the unit on by pushing the ON/OFF button.
2. If there is a preference for _C rather than _F (default), press
and hold the increase and decrease temperature set
point buttons together for approximately 3 seconds.
3. Select the desired mode by pushing MODE.
AUTO COOL DRY
HEAT
FAN
Fig. 5 -- Modes
4. Select the temperature set point by pointing the control
toward the unit and pressing the increase/decrease
temperature set point buttons until the desired temperature
appears on screen.
5. Select the desired fan speed by pressing FAN.
NOTE: If the unit is operating in DRY or AUTO mode, the fan
speed will be automatically set.
Manual Operation
If the remote control is lost, damaged, or the batteries are
exhausted, the MANUAL button located on the IR Receiver can
be used to run the unit.
When MANUAL is pressed once, the AUTO mode takes affect
(heat or cool). When this button is pressed twice, the system enters
the TEST mode and runs for 30 minutes in the COOLING mode
(it will run in the AUTO mode afterward). When pressed three
times, the system turns off.

cleaning or maintenance to the system. Turn off the outdoor
disconnect switch located near outdoor unit. Be sure to
disconnect indoor unit if on a separate switch
CAUTION
!
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE/OPERATION HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment
damage or improper unit operation.
Operating the system with dirty air filters may damage the
indoor unit and could cause reduced cooling performance,
intermittent system operation, frost build--up on indoor coil
or blown fuses.
CAUTION
!
Periodic Maintenance
Periodic maintenance is recommended to ensure proper operation of
the unit. Recommended maintenance intervals may vary depending
on the installation environment, e.g., dusty zones, etc. Refer to
Table 1.
CUT HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in personal injury.
The coil fins are very sharp. Use caution when cleaning.
Always wear safety protection.
CAUTION
!
Cleaning the Coil
Clean the coil at the beginning of each cooling season, or when
necessary. Use a vacuum cleaner or a long--bristle brush to avoid
damage to the coil fins.
Air Filters
Remove and clean the air filters once a month.
NOTE: If the air filters show signs of excessive wear or are torn,
they must be replaced. Contact your local dealer for replacement
filters.
1. Unscrew filters from the frame.

EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment
damage.
When cleaning the front panel, do not use water hotter than
105_F (40.6_C) and do not pour water onto the fan coil. Do
not use abrasive or petroleum based cleaners as they may
damage the front panel.
CAUTION
!
Preparing for Extended Shutdown Period
Clean the filters and place them back into the unit. Operate the unit
in FAN ONLY mode for 12 hours to dry all internal parts. Turn
the main power supply off and remove the batteries from the
remote control.
System Operation Recommendations
The items outlined in the following list help to assure proper
system operation:
SReplace both remote control batteries at the same time.

transmitting a command.
SKeep doors and windows closed while unit is operating.
SContact an authorized service representative if a problem arises
that cannot be easily resolved.
SDo not perform cleaning or maintenance activities while the
unit is on.
SKeep the display panel on the unit away from direct sunlight
and heat as this may interfere with remote control
transmissions.
SDo not block air intakes and outlets on the indoor or outdoor
units.
Energy Saving Recommendations
The following recommendations will add greater efficiency to the
ductless system:

10
SSelect a comfortable thermostat setting and leave it at chosen
setting. Avoid continually raising and lowering the setting.
