■
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.
•
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.
■
■■
■
Replacing the Batteries
• When replacing the battery, remove the old battery, wait one minute, and then insert the new battery.

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 tem-
perature 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.
