•Donot install the unit near alocation where there is flammable gas. The outdoor unit
may catch fire if flammable gas leaks around it. Piping shall be suitable supported
with amaximum spacing of 1m between the supports.
•Please ensure smooth flow of water when installing the drain hose.
•Make sure that asingle phase 230V power source is used.
The use of other power sources may cause electrical components to overheat and
lead to fire.
PRECAUTIONS DURING INSTALLATION

•Donot put objects like thin rods into the panel of blower and suction side because
the high-speed fan inside may cause danger.
•Spray cans and other combustibles should not be located within ameter of the air
outlets of both indoor and outdoor units.
Asaspray can’s internal pressure can be increased by hot air, arupture may result.

•Donot place plants directly under the air flow as it is bad for the plants.
•Donot direct the cool air coming out from the air-conditioner panel to face household
heating apparatus as this may affect the working of apparatus such as the electric
kettle, oven etc.
•The product shall be operated under the manufacturer specification and not for any
other intended use.
PRECAUTIONS DURING OPERATION
CAUTION
•Donot attemptto operate the unit with wet hands, this could cause fatal accident.
•When operating the unit with burning equipments, regularly ventilate the
room to avoid oxygen insufficiency.
•Please ensure that outdoor mounting frameis always stable, firm and without
defect. Ifnot, the outdoor unit may collapse and cause danger.

breaker during cleaning, the high-speed fan inside the unit may cause danger.
•Turn off the circuit breaker if the unit is not be operated for along period.
•Donot climbon the outdoor unit or put objects on it.
•When operating the unit with the door and windows opened, (the room humidity is
always above 80%) and with the air deflector facing down or moving automatically
for along period of time, water will condense on the air deflector and dripsdown
occasionally. This will wet your furniture. Therefore, do not operate under such
condition for along time.
•Ifthe amount of heat in the room is above the cooling or heating capability of the unit
(for example: more people entering the room, using heating equipments and etc.),
the preset room temperature cannot be achieved.
•Indoor unit cleaning must be performed by authorized personnel only. Consult your
sales agent.

PREPARATION BEFORE OPERATION
■To install the batteries
■To fix the remote controller holder to the wall
1. Slide the cover to take it off.
2. Install two dry batteries AAA.R03.
The direction of the batteries should match the
marks in the case.
3. Replace the cover at its original position.
1. Choose a place from where the signals can reach the unit.
2. Fix the remote controller holder to a wall, a pillar or similar
location with the provided screws.
3. Place the remote controller in the remote controller holder.
NOTE
Notes on batteries
●When replacing the batteries, use batteries of the same
type, and replace both old batteries together.
●When the system is not used for a long time, take the
batteries out.
● The batteries will last for approximately 1 year. However, if
the remote controller display begins to fade and degradation
of reception performance occurs within a year, replace both
batteries with new size AAA.R03.
● The attached batteries are provided for the initial use of
the system.
The usable period of the batteries may be short depending
on the manufactured date of the air conditioner.
Notes on the remote controller
● Never expose the remote controller to direct sunlight.
● Dust on the signal transmitter or receiver will reduce the
sensitivity. Wipe off dust with soft cloth.
● Signal communication may be disabled if an electronic-
starter-type fluorescent lamp (such as inverter-type lamps)
is in the room. Consult the shop if that is the case.
●If the remote controller signals happen to operate another
appliance, move that appliance to somewhere else, or
consult the service shop.
●When the remote controller is not in use, please close the
slide cover to prevent failure.

AUTOMATIC OPERATION
The device will automatically determine the mode of operation, HEAT or COOL depending on the current
room temperature. The selected mode of operation will change when the room temperature varies.
However, the mode of operation will not change when indoor unit is connected to multi type outdoor unit.
VARIOUS FUNCTIONS
■Auto Restart Control
●If there is a power failure, operation will be automatically restarted when the power is resumed with previous operation
mode and airflow direction.
(As the operation is not stopped by remote controller.)
●If you intend not to continue the operation when the power is resumed, switch off the power supply.
When you switch on the circuit breaker, the operation will be automatically restarted with previous operation mode
and airflow direction.
Note: 1. If you do not require Auto Restart Control, please consult your sales agent.

■As the settings are stored in the memory of the remote controller, you
only have to press the (START/STOP) button next time.
Press the MODE selector button so that the display indicates the
(AUTO) mode of operation.
● When AUTO has been selected, the device will automatically
determine the mode of operation, HEAT or COOL depending on
the current room temperature. However the mode of operation will
not change when indoor unit is connected to multi type outdoor
unit.
●If the mode automatically selected by the unit is not satisfactory,
manually change the mode setting (HEAT, DEHUMIDIFY, COOL
or FAN).
Press the (FAN SPEED) button to select AUTO, HIGH, MED, LOW
or SILENT.
Press the (START/STOP) button.

Defrosting will be performed about once an hour when frost forms on the heat exchange of the outdoor unit,
for 5~10 minutes each time.
During defrosting operation, the operation lamp blinks in a cycle of 3 seconds on and 0.5 second off.
The maximum time for defrosting is 20 minutes.
However, if the indoor unit is connected to multi type outdoor unit, the maximum time for defrosting is 15
minutes.
(If the piping length used is longer than usual, frost is likely to form.)
