About Mode Operation
AUTO:
COOLING MODEL
●When the room temperature is 2 °C
higher than the set temperature, the
mode will switch between Cooling and
Drying.
●During the Drying mode operation, the
FAN setting should be switched to LOW
for a gently cooling effect during which
the fan may temporarily stop rotating.
●If the mode automatically selected by the
unit is not satisfactory, see page 7 for in-
structions on changing the mode setting
(COOL, DRY, FAN).
AUTO (* AUTO CHANGEOVER):
HEAT & COOL MODEL (Reverse cycle)
●When AUTO CHANGEOVER is selected, the air conditioner selects the appropri-
ate operation mode (Cooling or Heating) according to your room’s present tem-
perature.
●When AUTO CHANGEOVER is first selected, the fan will operate at very low speed
for about one minute while the unit determines the current conditions of the
room and accordingly selects the proper operation mode.
●When the air conditioner has adjusted your room’s temperature to near the ther-
mostat setting, it will begin monitor operation. In the monitor operation mode,
the fan will operate at low speed. If the room temperature subsequently changes,
the air conditioner will once again select the appropriate operation (Heating, Cool-
ing) to adjust the temperature to the value set in the thermostat. (The monitor
operation range is ±2 °C relative to the thermostat setting.)
●If the mode automatically selected by the unit is not satisfactory, see page 7 for
instructions on changing the mode setting (HEAT, COOL, DRY, FAN).
*Heating:
●Use to warm your room.
●When Heating mode is selected, the air conditioner will operate at very low fan
speed for about 3 to 5 minutes, after which it will switch to the selected fan set-
ting. This period of time is provided to allow the indoor unit to warm up before
begin full operation.
●When the room temperature is very low, frost may form on the outside unit, and
its performance may be reduced. In order to remove such frost, the unit will
automatically enter the defrost cycle from time to time. During Automatic De-
frosting operation, the OPERATION indicator lamp (red) will flash, and the heat
operation will be interrupted.
Cooling:
●Use to cool your room.
Dry:
●Use for gently cooling while dehumidifying your room.
●You cannot heat the room during Dry mode.
●During Dry mode, the unit will operate at low speed; in order to adjust room
humidity, the indoor unit’s fan may stop from time to time. Also, the fan may
operate at very low speed when detecting room humidity.
●Then fan speed cannot be changed manually when Dry mode has been selected.
Fan:
●Use to circulate the air throughout your room.
* During Heating mode:
Set the thermostat to a temperature set-
ting that is higher than the current room
temperature. The Heating mode will not
operate if the thermostat is set lower than
the actual room temperature.
During Cooling/Dry mode:
Set the thermostat to a temperature set-
ting that is lower than the current room
temperature. The Cooling and Dry modes
will not operate if the thermostat is set
higher than the actual room temperature
(in Cooling mode, the fan alone will oper-
ate).
During Fan mode:
The heat and cool functions of this unit
cannot operate at the same time.

●Before cleaning the air conditioner, be sure to turn it off and disconnect the power supply cord.
●Be sure the intake grille is installed securely.
●When removing and replacing the air filters, be sure not to touch the heat exchanger, as per-
sonal injury may result.
CLEANING AND CARE
CAUTION!
Cleaning the Intake Grille
1. Remove the intake grille
1Place your fingers at both lower ends of the grille
panel, and lift forward; if the intake grille seems to
catch partway through its movement, continue lifting
upward to remove.
2Lift up the intake grille fully to remove.
2. Clean with water.
Remove dust with a vacuum cleaner; wipe the unit with
warm water, then dry with a clean, soft cloth.
3. Replace the intake grille.
1Holding the intake grille horizontally, fasten the two
upper hooks on the unit.
2Press the intake grille down at the lower sides to close.
Cleaning the Air Filter
1. Open the intake grille, and remove the air
filter.
Lift up the air filter’s handle, disconnect the two lower
tabs, and pull out.
2. Remove dust with a vacuum cleaner or by
washing.
After washing, allow to dry thoroughly in a shaded place.
3. Replace the air filter and close the intake
grille.
1Align the sides of the air filter with the panel, and push
in fully, making sure the two lower tabs are returned
properly to their holes in the panel.
2Close the intake grille.
(For purposes of example, the illustration shows the unit
without intake grille installed.)
●Dust can be cleaned from the air filter either with a vacuum
cleaner, or by washing the filter in a solution of mild de-
tergent and warm water. If you wash the filter, be sure to
allow it to dry thoroughly in a shady place before rein-
stalling.
●If dirt is allowed to accumulate on the air filter, air flow
will be reduced, lowering operating efficiency and increas-
ing noise.
●During periods of normal use, the air filters should be
cleaned every two weeks.
When using the optional Air Cleaning Filter
●Install the optional air cleaning filter set as instructed (installation instructions are furnished with the air cleaning filter set).
●When used for extended periods, the unit may accumulate dirt inside, reducing its performance. We recommend that the
unit be inspected regularly, in addition to your own cleaning and care. For more information, consult authorized service
personnel.
●When cleaning the unit’s body, do not use water hotter than 40 °C, harsh abrasive cleansers, or volatile agents like
benzene or thinner.
●Do not expose the unit body to liquid insecticides or hairsprays.
●When shutting down the unit for one month or more, first allow the fan mode to operate continuously for about one-half
day to allow internal parts to dry thoroughly.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Instructions relating to heating (*) are applicable only to “HEAT & COOL MODEL”(Reverse Cycle).
In the event of a malfunction (burning smell, etc.), immediately stop operation, disconnect the
power supply plug, and consult authorized service personnel.
Merely turning off the unit’s power switch will not completely disconnect the unit from the power
source. Always be sure to disconnect the power supply plug or turn off your circuit breaker to
ensure that power is completely off.
Before requesting service, perform the following checks:
WARNING!
Symptom
Doesn’t operate immedi-
ately:
Noise is heard:
Smells:
Mist or steam are
emitted:
Airflow is weak or stops:
Water is produced from
the outdoor unit:
Problem
●If the unit is stopped and then immediately started again, the com-
pressor will not operate for about 3 minutes, in order to prevent
fuse blowouts.
●Whenever the power supply plug is disconnected and then re-
connected to a power outlet, the protection circuit will operate
for about 3 minutes, preventing unit operation during that pe-
riod.
●During operation and immediately after stopping the unit, the
sound of water flowing in the air conditioner’s piping may be
heard. Also, noise may be particularly noticeable for about 2 to 3
minutes after starting operation (sound of coolant flowing).
●During operation, a slight squeaking sound may be heard. This is
the result of minute expansion and contraction of the front cover
due to temperature changes.
*●During Heating operation, a sizzling sound may be heard occa-
sional. This sound is produced by the Automatic Defrosting op-
eration.
●Some smell may be emitted from the indoor unit. This smell is
the result of room smells (furniture, tobacco, etc.) which have
been taken into the air conditioner.
●During Cooling or Dry operation, a thin mist may be seen emitted
from the indoor unit. This results from the sudden Cooling of
room air by the air emitted from the air conditioner, resulting in
condensation and misting.
*●During Heating operation, the outdoor unit’s fan may stop, and
steam may be seen rising from the unit. This is due to Automatic
Defrosting operation.
*●When Heating operation is started, fan speed is temporarily very
low, to allow internal parts to warm up.
*●During Heating operation, if the room temperature rises above
the thermostat setting, the outdoor unit will stop, and the indoor
unit will operate at very low fan speed. If you wish to warm the
room further, set the thermostat for a higher setting.
*●During Heating operation, the unit will temporarily stop opera-
tion (between 7 and 15 minutes) as the Automatic Defrosting mode
operates. During Automatic Defrosting operation, the OPERATION
indicator lamp will flash.
●The fan may operate at very low speed during Dry operation or
when the unit is monitoring the room’s temperature.
●In the monitor AUTO operation, the fan will operate at very low
speed.
*●During Heating operation, water may be produced from the out-
door unit due to Automatic Defrosting operation.

CHECK ONCE
MORE
Items to check
●Is the power supply plug disconnected from its outlet?
●Has there been a power failure?
●Has a fuse blown out, or a circuit breaker been tripped?
●Is the timer operating?
●Is the air filter dirty?
●Are the air conditioner’s intake grille or outlet port blocked?
●Did you adjust the room temperature settings (thermostat) cor-
rectly?
●Is there a window or door open?
●In the case of Cooling operation, is a window allowing bright sun-
light to enter? (Close the curtains.)
●In the case of Cooling operation, are there heating apparatus and
computers inside the room, or are there too many people in the
room?
●Are the remote control unit’s batteries dead?
●Are the remote control unit’s batteries loaded properly?
If the problem persists after performing these checks, or if you notice burning smells, or the TIMER indicator lamp flashes,
immediately stop operation, disconnect the power supply plug, and consult authorized service personnel.
OPERATING TIPS
*Heating Performance
●This air conditioner operates on the heat-pump principle,
absorbing heat from outdoor air and transferring that heat
indoors. As a result, the operating performance is reduced
as outdoor air temperature drops. If you feel that insuffi-
cient heating performance is being produced, we recom-
mend you use this air conditioner in conjunction with
another kind of heating appliance.
●Heat-pump air conditioners heat your entire room by
recirculating air throughout the room, with the result that
some time may be required after first starting the air con-
ditioner until the room is heated.
*Microcomputer-controlled Automatic Defrosting
●When using the Heating mode under conditions of low
outdoor air temperature high humidity, frost may form
on the outdoor unit, resulting in reduced operating per-
formance.
In order to prevent this kind of reduced performance, this
unit is equipped with a Microcomputer-controlled Auto-
matic Defrosting function. If frost forms, the air condi-
tioner will temporarily stop, and the defrosting circuit will
operate briefly (for about 7 to 15 minutes).
During Automatic Defrosting operation, the OPERATION
indicator lamp (red) will flash.
Operation and Performance
●The air conditioner power has been interrupted by a
power failure. The air conditioner will then restart auto-
matically in its previous mode when the power is restored.
●If a power failure occurs during TIMER operation, the timer
will be reset and the unit will begin (or stop) operation at
the new time setting. In the event that this (kind of timer
fault occurs the TIMER indicator lamp (green) will flash
(see page. 5) ).
●Use of other electrical appliances (electric shaver, etc.) or
nearby use of a wireless radio transmitter may cause the
air conditioner to malfunction. In this event, temporarily
disconnect the power supply plug, reconnect it, and then
use the remote control unit to resume operation.
