HOW TO USE THE AIR CONDITIONER EFFECTIVELY
1. An average room temperature setting is probably the best for you as well as being
economical.
• Excessive cooling or heating is not recommended for health reasons. High electricity
bills may also result.
• Close the curtains or blinds to prevent heat from flowing into or escaping the room as
well as to make more effective use of electricity.
2. At intervals, the doors and windows should be opened to let fresh air in.
CAUTION Make sure the room is ventilated when operating the air conditioner
at the same time as other heating appliances.
3. Using the timer is recommended before going to sleep or going out.
4. The following must never be used for cleaning the indoor and outdoor units:
• Benzine, thinner and scrub can damage plastic surfaces or coating.
• Hot water above 40°C can shrink the filter and deform plastic parts.
5. Do not block the air intake and air outlet.
• Do not block the air outlets and intakes of the indoor and outdoor units with curtains
or other obstacles which could degrade air conditioner performance and cause unit
failure.
TEMPORARY SWITCH
If the remote controller does not work due to battery
failure, press this switch to start and stop operation.
• This temporary operation will be at the setting made

5. AIR CLEANSING FILTERS (SPX-CFH15)
• When installing the air cleansing filters, remove the air filters and attach
them onto the hooks of the front cover frame.
• The cooling capacity is slightly weakened and the cooling speed becomes
slower when the air cleansing filters are used. So, set the fan speed to
“HIGH” when using it in this condition.
• The air cleansing filters can be used for 2 years.

Heating Capability
• This room air conditioner utilizes a heat pump system that absorbs
exterior heat and brings it into a room to be heated. As the ambient
temperature gets lower, heating capability will also lower. In such a
situation, the PAM and inverter work to increase compressor rpm to keep
the unit’s heating capability from decreasing. If the unit’s heating
performance is still unsatisfactory, other heating appliances should be
used to augment this unit’s performance.
• The air conditioner is designed to heat an entire room so that it may take some time before you feel warm. Timer
operation is recommended for effective preheating ahead of the desired time.
Cooling and Dehumidifying Capabilities
• If the heat present in a room exceeds the unit’s cooling capacity (for example, if there are many people in the room
or other heating appliances are used), the preset room temperature may not be reached.
INFORMATION
CAPABILITIES
CAUTION
Do not use a stove
or any other high-
temperature devices
in proximity to the
indoor unit.
• When fan speed, room temperature are set with the remote controller before starting manual operation and
the buttons are released, the indication of settings will go off in 10 seconds and only the operation mode will
be displayed.
• Pressing the button while the unit is in operation will let the protective circuit work so that the unit will
not operate for approximately 3 minutes.
• During heating operation, the indoor unit’s color indicator lamp may flash with no air emitted for a while.
• If you feel cold wind during warming operation with the (HI) fan speed or want to make the unit operation
quieter after the room is heated, use of (AUTO) setting is recommended.
• With the (SILENT) setting, the unit’s cooling capability will lower slightly.
VARIOUS FUNCTIONS
• When the timer has been programmed, the unit will not operate even if the set time is reached unless the unit
receives a signal from the remote controller. Confirm that timer programming is complete (beep) and the
TIMER lamp of the indoor unit lights.
• If the (SLEEP) button is pressed while the ON/OFF timer is programmed, the sleep timer takes priority.
• During sleep timer operation, the fan speed sets to (SILENT) regardless of the preset speed. The remote
controller display indication will remain unchanged even with the (SILENT) setting.
