FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS
INVERTER
At the start of operation, a large power is used to bring the
room quickly to the desired temperature. Afterwards, the
unit automatically switches to a low power setting for eco-
nomic and comfortable operation.
COIL DRY OPERATION
The Indoor unit can be dried by pressing the COIL DRY but-
ton on the Remote Control Unit so as to avoid going moldy
and restrain the breed of bacterium.
AUTO CHANGEOVER
The operation mode (cooling, dry, heating) is switched au-
tomatically to maintain the set temperature, and the tem-
perature is kept constant at all times.
SLEEP TIMER
When the SLEEP button is pressed during Heating mode,
the air conditioner’s thermostat setting is gradually lowered
during the period of operation; during cooling mode, the
thermostat setting is gradually raised during the period of
operation. When the set time is reached, the unit automati-
cally turns off.
WIRELESS REMOTE CONTROL UNIT
The Wireless Remote Control Unit allows convenient con-
trol of air conditioner operation.
SWING OPERATION
The Air Flow Direction Louvers swings automatically up and
down so that the air speeds to every nook and corner of
your room.
REMOVABLE OPEN PANEL
The indoor unit’s Open Panel can be removed for easy clean-
ing and maintenance.
MILDEW-RESISTANT FILTER
The AIR FILTER has been treated to resist mildew growth,
thus allowing cleaner use and easier care.
SUPER QUIET OPERATION
When the FAN CONTROL button is used to select QUIET,
the unit begins super-quiet operation; the indoor unit’s air-
flow is reduced to produce quieter operation.
AIR CLEANING FILTER (Optional)
The optional Air Cleaning Filter (Model UTR-FA11-1) uses
an electrostatic principle to clean the air of fine particulate
matter such as tobacco smoke and plant pollen.

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 Con-
trol Unit’s operating range becomes ap-
preciably reduced, replace the batteries
and press the ACL button with the tip of
a ballpoint pen or other small object.
Turn on the Power
1Connect the Power Supply Plug (Fig. 1 E) to an electri-
cal outlet; in the case of a direct line connection, turn
on the circuit breaker.
Load Batteries (R03/LR03 ××
××
×2)
1Press and slide the battery compartment lid on the re-
verse side to open it.
Slide in the direction of the arrow while pressing the mark.
2Insert batteries.
Be sure to align the battery polarities ( ) correctly.
3Close the battery compartment lid.
To Use the Remote Control Unit
●The Remote Control Unit must be pointed at signal receiver (Fig. 1 4) to operate
correctly.
●Operating Range: About 7 meters.
●When a signal is properly received by the air conditioner, a beeping sound will
be heard.
●If no beep is heard, press the Remote Control Unit button again.

The indoor unit’s OPERATION indicator lamp (red) (Fig. 3 5) will light.
The air conditioner will start operating.
2Press the MASTER CONTROL button (Fig.6 M) to se-
lect the desired mode.
Each time the button is pressed, the mode will change in the following
order.
AUTO COOL DRY
HEAT FAN
About three seconds later, the entire display will reappear.
To Set the Thermostat
Press the SET TEMP. button (Fig. 6 N).
button: Press to raise the thermostat setting.
button: Press to lower the thermostat setting.
●Thermostat setting range:
AUTO .................................. 18-30 °C
Heating ............................... 16-30 °C
Cooling/Dry ........................ 18-30 °C
The thermostat cannot be used to set room temperature during the FAN mode (the
temperature will not appear on the Remote Control Unit’s Display).
About three seconds later, the entire display will reappear.
The thermostat setting should be considered a standard value, and may differ
somewhat from the actual room temperature.
To Set the Fan Speed
Press the FAN CONTROL button (Fig. 6 U).
Each time the button is pressed, the fan speed changes in the following order:
AUTO HIGH MED LOW QUIET
About three seconds later, the entire display will reappear.
When set to AUTO:
Heating : Fan operates so as to optimally circulate warmed air.
However, the fan will operate at very low speed when the temperature
of the air issued from the indoor unit is low.
Cooling : As the room temperature approaches that of the thermostat setting,
the fan speed becomes slower.
Fan : The fan alternately turns on and off; when on, the fan runs at the low
fan speed.
The fan will operate at a very low setting during Monitor operation
and at the start of the Heating mode.
When set to QUIET:
SUPER QUIET operation begins. The indoor unit’s airflow will be reduced for qui-
eter operation.
●SUPER QUIET operation cannot be used during Dry mode. (The same is true
when dry mode is selected during AUTO mode operation.)
●During Super Quiet operation, Heating and Cooling performance will be reduced
somewhat.

To Stop Operation
Press the START/STOP button.
The OPERATION indicator lamp (red) (Fig. 3 5) will go out.
About AUTO CHANGEOVER Operation
AUTO: ●When AUTO CHANGEOVER operation first selected, the fan will oper-
ate at very low speed for about one minute, during which time the unit
detects the room conditions and selects the proper operating mode.
If the difference between thermostat setting and actual room tempera-
ture is more than +2 °C →Cooling or dry operation
If the difference between thermostat setting and actual room tempera-
ture is within ±2 °C →Monitor operation
If the difference between thermostat setting and actual room tempera-
ture is more than –2 °C →Heating operation
●When the air conditioner has adjusted your room’s temperature to near
the thermostat setting, it will begin monitor operation. In the monitor
operation mode, the fan will operate at low speed. If the room tem-
perature subsequently changes, the air conditioner will once again
select the appropriate operation (Heating, Cooling) to adjust the tem-
perature to the value set in the thermostat.
(The monitor operation range is ±2 °C relative to the thermostat set-
ting.)
●If the mode automatically selected by the unit is not what you wish,
select one of the mode operation (HEAT, COOL, DRY, FAN).
About Mode Operation
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 setting. 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 Defrosting operation, the OPERATION indica-
tor 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 adjusting room humidity.
●The 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:
You can not use the unit to heat and cool
your room.

When the SLEEP timer is set, the thermostat setting is auto-
matically raised 1 °C every sixty minutes. When the ther-
mostat has been raised a total of 2 °C, the thermostat set-
ting at that time is maintained until the set time has elapsed,
at which time the air conditioner automatically turns off.
