NOTE
■
Tips for saving energy
•
Be careful not to cool 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 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.

■To adjust the vertical blades
(louvers)
Hold the knob and move the louvers.
(You will find a knob on the left-side and the right-side blades.)
• When the unit is installed in the corner of a room,
the direction of the louvers should be facing away
from the wall.
If they face the wall, the wall will block off the wind,
causing the cooling efficiency to drop.
Notes on flaps and louvers angles
• When “SWING button” is selected, the
flaps swinging range depends on the
operation mode. (See the figure.)
• If the unit is operated after being stopped
with the flaps pointed down in cooling or dry
operation, the flaps will automatically move
to a horizontal position after about one hour
to prevent condensation from forming on
them.
■
ATTENTION
• Always use a remote controller to adjust the
flaps angle. If you attempt to move it forcibly
with hand when it is swinging, the
mechanism may be broken.
• Be careful when adjusting the louvers.
Inside the air outlet, a fan is rotating at a high
speed.
