power plug.
★ When the voltage is too
low, the compressor will vibrate
ercely, which may damage the
cooling system.
★
If there’s abnormal phenome-
non (like smell of burning), plea-
se cut off the power immediately
and then contact with Hiyasu
authorized maintenance center.

performingany maintenance
or cleaning or when the
product isnotused for an
extended period of time.
★Always ensure effective
earthing.
★Select the most appropriate
temperature.

5 ºC cooler than
outside.
No earthing may cause electric
shock.
Accumulated dust may cause re
or electric shock.
It can save electric energy.
★Do not block the air inlet or
outlet.
★Do not keep windows and
doors open for a long time
during operation.
★Keep combustible materials
at least 1m away from the
units.
It will result in insufcient
performance.
It will result in insufcient perfor-
mance and cause malfunctions.
★Do not step on the top of
the outdoor unit or place heavy
things on it.
★Install the outdoor unit rmly
enough.

★Do not attempt to repair the
air conditioner by yourself.

Safety Precautions
★ To change the airow direction, adjust the vertical
and horizontal air ow direction by using the remote
controller.
Do not cut off or damage the power cords or
control cords. If they are damaged, please
contact the dealer or qualied service
personnel.
★
Vertical Louver Horizontal Louver

Operation Tips
Cooling Operation
Principle:
Air conditioners absorb heat in the room and transmit it to the outdoor unit so that the room tempe-
rature is decreased. The cooling capacity will increase or decrease according to outdoor ambient
temperature.
Freeze Protection:
If the unit is operating in COOL mode and in low ambient temperature, frost may form on the heat
exchanger. When indoor heat exchanger temperature decreases below zero, compressor will stop
operation to protect the unit.
Heating Operation
Principle:
Air conditioners absorb heat from outdoors and transmit it to the indoor unit, increasing room tempe-
rature. The heating capacity will decrease at low ambient temperature.
*
Defrosting:
When outdoor temperature is low but humidity is high, frost may form on the outdoor unit during
extended operation, affecting heating efciency. The air conditioner may stop operation during auto
defrosting operation.
*
During auto defrosting, the fan motors of indoor unit and outdoor unit will stop.
*
During defrosting, the indoor indicator ashes and the outdoor unit may emit vapor.
This is not malfunction.
*
After defrosting is nished, the heating operation will recover automatically.
*
Anti-cold Air Function:
In HEAT mode, the indoor fan will not operate in order to prevent cold air blowing out (within 2 minutes) if
indoor heat exchanger doesn’t reach a certain temperature under the following three states:
1. Heating operation starts; 2. After Auto Defrosting is nished; 3. Heating at low temperature.
Rest Heat Blow
In the following situations, the indoor unit may still run for some time, to blow out the rest
heat of the indoor unit.
1. In HEAT mode, the temperature reaches the setting value, the compressor stops and the indoor fan
still run for 60s.
2. In HEAT mode, if you turn off the unit, the compressor stops and the indoor fan still run for 10s.

Operation Tips
Operating Temperature Range
Outdoor side DB/WB (ºC)
32/23 43/26
Maximum cooling
Maximum heating 27/-- 24/18
The operating temperature range (outdoor temperature) for cooling unit is 18 ºC ~ 43 ºC for cooling
and heating unit is -7 ºC ~ 43 ºC.
Tips for energy saving:
* Do not overcool or overheat.
Setting temperature at a moderate level helps energy saving.
* Cover windows with a blind or a curtain.
Blocking sunlight and air from outdoors is favorable for cooling (heating).
* Clean air lters once per two weeks.
Clogged air lters lead to inefcient operation and energy waste.
Tip for relative humidity:
Condensate is likely to form at the air outlet if cooling or drying for a long time when the
relative humidity is more than 80% ( with doors and windows open).

Troubleshooting
CAUTION
The air conditioner is not expected to be serviced by users. Incorrect repair may cause
electric shock or re, so please contact an authorized service center for professional
service. The following checks prior to contact may save your time and money.
Phenomenon Troubleshooting
The unit does not operate: The unit does not operate if it is turned on imme-
diately after being turned off. This is to protect the
unit. You are expected to wait for about 3 minutes.
Waiting
Odours are emitted: Some odours may be emitted from the indoor unit.
This is the result of room smells (such as furniture,
tobacco, ect.) which have been taken into the air
conditioner.
Consult authorized service center for cleaning if
the odours still exist.
“Water owing” noise: The swishing noise like water owing is the sound
of refrigerant owing inside the unit.
Mist is emitted in COOL mode: During cooling operation, a thin mist may be seen
emitted from the indoor unit due to high room tempe-
rature and humidity.
After a period of time, the mist will disappear with
the decrease of room temperature and humidity.
Cracking noise: This is the sound of friction caused by expansion
and/or contraction of panel or other parts due to the
change of temperature.

Troubleshooting
Phenomenon Troubleshooting
Is the power cut off?
The unit can not be started up :
Is the power plug loose? (If applicable)
Is the circuit protection device tripped off?
Is voltage higher or lower?
(Tested by professionals)
Breaking off Is the TIMER correctly used?
Is temperature setting appropriate?
Cooling/Heating effect is poor :
Is the inlet or outlet blocked?
Is the lter dirty?
●
Is the window or the door open?
●
Is low fan speed set?
●
Are there heat sources in the room?
●
Check if there is magnetic or electrical interference
near the unit that may affecting operation of the
controller. In this case, pull the plug out and reinsert
it.
●
Remote controller is not available :
Is the remote controller within its operating range
or obstructed? Check the condition of the batte-
ries and replace them if necessary.
●
Check if the remote controller is damaged.
●
The humidity is high.
●
Water leakage of indoor unit :
Condensate overows.
●
Drain hose is loose.
●
During cooling operation, condensate is generated
around the pipes and connection joints.
●
Water leakage of outdoor unit :
●
During heating operation, the water on the heat
exchanger drips out.
Noise from indoor unit : The noise emitted when the fan or compressor
relay is switching on or off.
●

Troubleshooting
Phenomenon Troubleshooting
Indoor unit can not blow air: ● In HEAT mode, when the temperature of indoor
heat exchanger is very low, air ow is stopped in
order to prevent cold air. (Within 2 minutes).
In HEAT mode, when the outdoor temperature
is low or humidity is high, frost will be formed on
the outdoor heat exchanger. The unit will defrost
automatically and indoor unit will stop blowing air
for 3-12 minutes.
●
During defrosting operation, water or vapour may
be emitted.
●
In DRY mode, the indoor fan will stop blowing
air for 3-12 minutes in order to avoid condensate
being vaporised again.
●
If the unit operates at high humidity for a long
time, moisture will be generated on the air outlet
grill and then drip off.
Moisture on air outlet: ●

If any one of the following situations occurs, immediately stop all operations cut off the
power supply, and contact the authorized personnel.
● There is harsh sound during operation.
● Strong odours are emitted during operation.
● Water is leaking from the unit.
● The air switch or protection switch often trips.
● Water or other liquid is splashed into the unit.
● Power cord and power plug is overheating.
Stop operation and cut off the
