WARNING
•
In order to avoid fire, explosion or injury, do not operate the unit when harmful, among which flammable or
corrosive gases, are detected near the unit.
•
It is not good for health to expose your body to the air flow for a long time.
•
Do not put a finger, a rod or other objects into the air outlet or inlet. As the fan is rotating at a high speed, it will
cause injury.
•
Do not attempt to repair, relocate, modify or reinstall the air conditioner by yourself. Incorrect work will cause electric
shocks, fire etc.
For repairs and reinstallation, consult your Daikin dealer for advice and information.
•
The refrigerant used in the air conditioner is safe. Although leaks should not occur, if for
some reason any refrigerant happens to leak into the room, make sure it does not come in
contact with any flame as of gas heaters, kerosene heaters or gas range.
•
If the air conditioner is not cooling (heating) properly, the refrigerant may be leaking, so call your dealer.
When carrying out repairs accompanying adding refrigerant, check the content of the repairs with our service staff.
•
Do not attempt to install the air conditioner by your self. Incorrect work will result in water leakage, electric shocks or
fire. For installation, consult the dealer or a qualified technician.
•
In order to avoid electric shock, fire or injury, if you detect any abnormally such as smell of fire, stop the operation and
turn off the breaker. And call your dealer for instructions.

Tips for saving energy
• Be careful not to cool (heat) the room too much.
Keeping the temperature setting at a moderate level helps save
energy.
• Cover windows with a blind or a curtain.
Blocking sunlight and air from outdoors increases the cooling
(heating) effect.
• Clogged air filters cause inefficient operation and waste energy. Clean them once in about every
two weeks.
■
■■
■
Please note
• The air conditioner always consumes 15-35 watts of electricity even while it is not operating.
• If you are not going to use the air conditioner for a long period, for example in spring or autumn,
turn the breaker OFF.
• Use the air conditioner in the following conditions.
• Operation outside this humidity or temperature range may cause a safety device to disable the system.

■■
■
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 rec-
ommended 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 COOL operation
• This air conditioner cools the room by blowing the hot air in the room outside, so if the
outside temperature is high, performance drops.
■
■■
■
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 a temperature setting and 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 air flow rate setting
•
At smaller air flow rates, the cooling (heating) effect is also smaller.

〉〉〉〉
〉〉
This system has one outdoor unit connected to multiple indoor units.
■
Selecting the Operation Mode
1. With the Priority Room Setting
present but inactive or not present.
When more than one indoor unit is operating, priority is
given to the first unit that was turned on.
In this case, set the units that are turned on later to the
same operation mode (*1) as the first unit.
Otherwise, they will enter the Standby Mode, and the operation lamp will flash; this does not indicate malfunction.
(*1)
• COOL, DRY and FAN mode may be used at the same time.
• AUTO mode automatically selects COOL mode or HEAT mode based on the room temperature.
Therefore, AUTO mode is available when selecting the same operation mode as that of the room
with the first unit to be turned on.
〈
〈〈
〈CAUTION〉
〉〉
〉
