On/Off
When●On/Off button is pressed again,
the system will stop operating and the
Operation lamp will turn off.
When the system is stopped while in the heating*
mode, the fan will continue to operate for
approximately one minute to remove residual
heat from the indoor unit.
Note
To prevent condensation water damage or system failure, do not●
shut off the power supply to the indoor unit immediately after
operation. Wait at least five minutes for the condensate pump to
finish draining residual water from the indoor unit.
Characteristics of Heat Mode
The system automatically controls the following operating modes to
prevent the reduction of heating capacity and space comfort.
Defrost operation The system will automatically go into defrost operation to prevent frost●
accumulation at the outdoor unit and subsequent loss of heating
capacity.
The indoor unit fan will stop, and “●
STANDBY
” will be displayed on the
remote controller.
The system will finish the Defrost operation and return to normal●
usually within six to eight minutes. It won’t last for more than ten
minutes.
Hot start When the system starts heating operation, the indoor unit fan will●
operate with a delay in order to prevent a cold draft.
(In that case, “
STANDBY
” will be displayed on the remote controller.)

The Dry mode dehumidifies the space at reduced cooling capacity to
prevent the room temperature from dropping to an uncomfortable
level.
Setback
The Setback function can be used to maintain the space temperature in an assigned range for an
unoccupied period.
Note
When enabled, the Setback mode becomes active when the indoor unit is turned off by either●
