MASTER CONTROL Switch
POSITION FUNCTION
)(OFF) The air conditioner is switched off.
FAN Fan only is operating to provide filtered air without
cooling effect.
SUPER QUIET Fan speed is low and cooling efficiency is intermediate
with low noise level.
NORMAL A cooling effect is obtained by a quieter operation than
“HIGH POWER”.
HIGH POWER Fan speed is at its maximum resulting in maximum
cooling effect.
Cooling
To obtain maximum cooling effect in the hot summer select position HIGH
POWER on the master control. Maximum moisture removal, air circulation and
dust removal are effected at the same time.
Selection of SUPER QUIET reduces operating noise.
Air Circulation
To maintain a comfortable room temperature an important factor is the circulation
of air. Room air can be circulated without cooling by selecting FAN position on
the master control.
Air circulation only without cooling effect may also be achieved with the thermostat
knob turned counterclockwise to “1”position and with the master control knob
at either “cool”position.

Air Circulation
To maintain a comfortable room temperature, an important
factor is the circulation of air. Room air can be circulated
without cooling/heating by selecting either HIGH FAN or
LOW FAN position on the master control.
Circulation of air without cooling/heating can be also effected
as follows:
1. When operating with the MASTER CONTROL switched
to HIGH POWER (RED) or SUPER QUIET (RED), turn the
thermostat fully clockwise.
2. When operating with the MASTER CONTROL switched
to HIGH POWER (BLUE) or SUPER QUIET (BLUE), turn
the thermostat fully counterclockwise.
Power Supply
Cooling
To obtain maximum cooling effect in the hot summer
select position HIGH POWER (BLUE) on the MASTER
CONTROL. Maximum moisture removal, air circulation
and dust removal are effected at the same time.
Selection of SUPER QUIET (BLUE) reduces operating
noise.
Heating
To obtain maximum heating effect in severe winter select
position HIGH POWER (RED) on the MASTER CONTROL.
Maximum air circulation is obtained at the same time.
Selection of SUPER QUIET (RED) reduces heating effect
and operating noise. However you may feel a higher
temperature at the air outlet compared to the HIGH
POWER (RED) position, due to the reduced fan speed.
Connect the Power Supply Plug to an electrical point.
●Connect securely, without looseness.
●In the case of direct line connections, turn on the breaker.
MASTER CONTROL Switch
NOTE: After you start driving, it will take approximately
10 minutes for the air from this unit become
warm. This delay is normal.

En-9
THERMOSTAT Control Switch
Once the THERMOSTAT is set to the desired temperature, the room temperature
will be automatically adjusted without excessive or insufficient cooling/heating
and thus a comfortable environment is always maintained.
The thermostat controls the compressor only, and accordingly the fan is constantly
circulating air even during the period when the compressor is off during cooling/
heating operation.
1. When you wish to lower the temperature, turn the THERMOSTAT Control switch
clockwise in the direction of the higher numbers of the dial.
2. When you wish to increase the temperature, turn the THERMOSTAT Control switch
counterclockwise in the direction of the lower numbers.
NOTE:
•When the THERMOSTAT Control switch is set at positions “5”, “6”or “7”
comfortable room temperatures can usually be obtained. Please note that it is
unhealthy for the room temperature to be lower than approximately 22°C.
•When the THERMOSTAT Control switch is set at positioned at “10”, the
room-side fin coil may freeze up and prevent effective cooling. If this happens,
turn the switch to “FAN”, and turn the THERMOSTAT Control switch
counterclockwise.
CAUTION!
When cooling/heating is stopped by means of either the MASTER CONTROL
or THERMOSTAT Control switch do not restart cooling/heating for at least 3
minutes.
•If cooling/heating is restarted within this time, the compressor motor will be
subjected to an over current and a compressor motor safety device will be
actuated. If this occurs, restarting cooling/heating will not be possible for
about 20 minutes.

AIR DIRECTION ADJUSTMENT
WARNING!
●Do not put fingers or other objects into the air louvres; an internal fan operates at high
speed and could result in personal injury or damage.
●Do not operate the air conditioner with the airflow louvres blocked, since malfunction
could result.
Up-Down Airflow-
direction Louvres
Right-Left Airflow-
direction Louvres
■Vertical Adjustment
The Up-Down Airflow-direction Louvres may be positioned using tabs to dis-
charge the air upward, downward or straight on.
Air Direction Adjustment by manual operation
■Horizontal Adjustment
The Right-Left Airflow-direction Louvres may be positioned using tabs to dis-
charge the air rightward, leftward or straight on.
NOTE:
The THERMOSTAT positions “8”, “9” and “10” can be used when the room
temperature does not become sufficiently low. This condition may occur
when the THERMOSTAT Control switches off automatically because cooled
air, when it passes through the Up-Down Airflow-direction Louvres positioned
downwards and the Right-Left Airflow-direction Louvres positioned to the left,
makes a short circuit and the recirculated air touches the sensor
of the THERMOSTAT.
CAUTION!
Adjust the Right-Left Airflow-direction Louvres after SELECT LEVER is set to the
“NEUTRAL” position.
