saved. In case the air filter is full of dust, the air flow will decrease and the cooling capacity will be
reduced. Further, noise may occur. Be sure to clean the filter following the procedure below.
PROCEDURE
1
Open the front panel carefully and remove the filter.
2
Vacuum dust from the air filter using vacuum cleaner.
If there is too much dust, wash the filter with a detergent
and rinse it thoroughly. After that, dry it in the shade.
3
•Set the filter with “FRONT”mark facing front, and
slot them into the original state.
•After attaching the filters, push the front panel at
three arrow portions as shown in figure and close
it.
•Do not wash with hot water at more than 40°C. The filter may shrink.
•When washing it, shake off moisture completely and dry it in the shade; do not expose it directly
to the sun. The filter may shrink.
•Don't operate the unit without filter. Fault may occur if you continue.

INFORMATION
CAPABILITIES
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 inverter work to increase compressor rpm to keep the
unit’s heating capability from decreasing. If the unit’s heating perfor-
mance 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.
CAUTION
Do not use a stove
or any other
hightemperature
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 heating 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 (LOW) setting, the unit’s cooling capability will lower slightly.
•With the (LOW) setting, the unit’s heating capacity will vary with the operating conditions.
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 (LOW) regardless of the preset speed. The remote
controller display indication will remain unchanged even with the (LOW) setting.

•If the unit still fails to operate
normally after performing the
above inspections, turn the
circuit breaker off, or pull the
power plug out, and contact
your sales agent immediately.
Contact your sales agent immediately if the
following phenomena should occur:
•
The circuit breaker switches off or the fuse blows
frequently.
• The switch operation is not stable.
• Foreign matter or water accidentally enters the unit interior.
• The power cord gets excessively hot or its insulation is torn or stripped.
• TIMER lamp on the indoor unit display blinks.
As the nature of the failure can be identified by the blinking cycle,
check the blinking cycle before turning off the circuit breaker.
( )
Notes
•In quiet operation or stopping the running, the following phenomena may
occasionally occur, but they are not abnormal for the operation.
(1) Slight flowing noise of refrigerant in the refrigerating cycle.
(2) Slight rubbing noise from the fan casing which is cooled and then
gradually warmed as operation stops.
•The odor will possibly be emitted from the room air conditioner because
the various odor, emitted by smoke, foodstuffs, cosmetics and so on,
sticks to it. So please clean the air filter and the evaporator regularly to
reduce the odor.
Noise of the ventilation fan sucking in air present in the drain hose and blowing out
dehumidifying water that had accumulated in the condensed water collector. For
details, consult your sales agent.
Operation noise changes due to power variations according to room temperature
changes.
Mist is generated as the air within the room is suddenly cooled by conditioned air.
Water generated during defrosting operation evaporates and steam is emitted.
Caused as the smells and particles of smoke, food, cosmetics, etc. present in room
air become attached the unit and blown off into the room again.
Defrosting is underway (as the heating operation is stopped, the microcomputer
checks frost accumulated in the outdoor unit and instructs the unit to perform
automatic defrosting if necessary).
Shows preheating or defrosting operation is underway.
As the protective circuit or preheat sensor operates when unit operation is stopped
during preheating and then restarted, or when operation mode is switched from cooling
to heating, the lamp continues to blink.
Actual room temperature may deviate slightly from the remote controller's
temperature setting depending on the number of people in the room, indoor or
outdoor conditions.
•Please contact your sales agent immediately if the air conditioner still fails to operate normally after
the above inspections. Inform your agent of the model of your unit, production number, date of
installation. Please also inform him regarding the fault.
Please note:
On switching on the equipment, particularly when the room light is dimmed, a slight brightness
fluctuation may occur. This is of no consequence.
The conditions of the local Power Supply Companies are to be observed.
