Prior to operation
8Indoor Unit
Prior to Operation
1. Contact an installation specialist for installation.
2. Use a dedicated circuit.
1. Being exposed to direct airflow for an extended period of time could be hazardous to your health.
Do not expose occupants, pets, or plants to direct airflow for extended periods of time.
2. Due to the possibility of oxygen deficiency, ventilate the room when used together with stoves or
other heating devices.
3. Do not use this air conditioner for non-specified special purposes (e.g. preserving precision
devices, food, pets, plants, and art objects). Such usage could damage the items.
1. Do not touch the metal parts of the unit when removing the filter. Injuries can occur when handling
sharp metal edges.
2. Do not use water to clean inside the air conditioner. Exposure to water can destroy the insulation,
leading to possible electric shock.
3. When cleaning the unit, first make sure that the power and breaker are turned off. The fan rotates
at a very high speed during operation. There is a possibility of injury if the unit’s power is
accidentally triggered on while cleaning inner parts of the unit.
For repair and maintenance, contact your authorized service dealer.

Operation Tips
Helpful information
The air filters and your electiric bill.
If the air filters become clogged with dust, the
cooling capacity will drop, and 6% of the electricity
used to operate the air conditioner will be wasted.
When it is not going to be used for
a long time. When the air conditioner is to be used again.
Operate the air conditioner at the
following settings for 2 to 3 hours.
•Type of operation: Fan operation mode.
•This will dry out the internal mechanisms.
Turn off the breaker.
Turn off the breaker when the air conditioner
is not going to be used for a long time.
Dirt may collect and may cause a fire.
Clean the air filter and install it in the
indoor unit.
(Refer to page 12 for cleaning it.)
Check that the air inlet and outlet of the
indoor/outdoor unit are not blocked.
Check that the ground wire is
connected correctly. It may be connect
to the indoor unit side.
Do not overcool the room.
This is not good for the health
and wastes electricity.
Keep blinds or curtains
closed.
Do not let direct sunshine
enter the room when the air
conditioner is in operation.
Keep the room temperature
uniform.
Adjust the vertical and
horizontal airflow direction to
ensure a uniform temperature
in the room.
Make sure that the doors
and windows are shut tight.
Avoid opening doors and
windows as much as possible
to keep the cool air in the

Clean the air filter regularly.
Blockages in the air filter
reduce the airflow and lower
cooling and dehumidifying
effects. Clean at least once
every two weeks.
Ventilate the room
occasionally.
Since windows are kept

open them and ventilate the
room now and then.
