gin automatic operation in the Cooling or Dry mode as ap-
propriate, in accordance with the thermostat setting and the
actual temperature of the room.
SLEEP TIMER
When the SLEEP timer button is pressed during Cooling
mode, the thermostat setting is gradually raised during the
period of operation. When the set time is reached, the unit
automatically turns off.
WIRELESS REMOTE CONTROL UNIT
The Wireless Remote Control Unit allows convenient con-
trol of air conditioner operation.

PREPARATION
CAUTION!
●Take care to prevent infants from
accidentally swallowing batteries.
●When not using the remote control unit
for an extended period, remove the
batteries to avoid possible leakage and
damage to the unit.
●If leaking battery fluid comes in contact
with your skin, eyes, or mouth, immedi-
ately wash with copious amounts of
water, and consult your physician.
●Dead batteries should be removed
immediately and disposed of properly,
either in a battery collection receptacle
or to the appropriate authority.
●Do not attempt to recharge dry batteries.
Never mix new and used batteries, or
batteries of different types.
Batteries should last about one year
under normal use. If the remote control
unit’s operating range becomes appre-
ciably reduced, replace the batteries and
press the ACL button with the tip of a
ballpoint pen or other small object.

The OPERATION indicator lamp (red) (Fig. 3 5) will go out.
About Mode Operation
AUTO: ●Depending on the room temperature at the time operation begins, the
operating mode will be switched automatically as shown in the
accompanying table.
Also, depending on the operating mode, the room temperature set-
ting will cause the “standard” temperature to be set as shown.
Actual Room Operating Mode Thermostat Setting
Temperature (standard setting)
30 °C or above →Cooling →27 °C
27 °C to 30 °C →Cooling →26 °C
25 °C to 27 °C →Dry →24 °C
23 °C to 25 °C →Dry →22 °C
Below 23 °C →Dry →20 °C
The operating mode and standard thermostat settings are selected auto-
matically when operation begins.
●When automatic operation is initiated, the fan will run at very low
speed for about one minute while the unit detects and selects the proper
operating mode.
●Once the operating mode has been set, the mode will not change even
if the room temperature changes.
●If the START/STOP button is pressed to recommence operation within
two hours after stopping automatic operation, the unit will begin op-
erating from the same mode as before.
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 humid-
ity.
●The fan speed cannot be changed manually when Dry mode has been
selected.
Fan: ●Use to circulate the air from ceiling area throughout your room when
using space heaters.
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:
●Fan operation begins when room tem-
perature in the vicinity of the air condi-
tioner rises above the set thermostat
temperature; when the temperature
drops, fan operation stops.
●If the air emitted feels too cool, raise
the thermostat setting.
