• While in compressor off, the indoor fan repeats low airflow speed and pause.
• While the intak e air temp is betw een compressor on temp . and compressor off temp ., 10-min dehumidifica-
tion operation and 4-min compressor off repeat.
Compressor ON Temp. ➲Setting Temp+0.5°C
Compressor OFF Temp. ➲Setting Temp-0.5°C
• In 10-min dehumidification operation, the indoor fan operates with the low airflow speed.
■Heating Mode Operation
• When the intak e air temp reaches +3 °…above the setting temp , the compressor is tur ned off. When belo w
the setting temp, the compressor is turned on.
Compressor ON Temp. ➲Setting Temp.
Compressor OFF Temp. ➲Setting Temp.+3°C
• While in compressor on, the indoor fan is off when the indoor pipe temp. is below 20°C, when above 28°C , it
operates with the low or setting airflow speed. When the indoor pipe temp is between 20°C and 28°C, it oper-
ates with Super-Low(while in sleep mode, with the medium airflow speed).
• While in compressor off, the indoor fan is off when the indoor pipe temp is belo w 33°C, when above 35°C , it
operates with the low airflow speed.
• If overloaded while in heating mode oper ation, in order to pre vent the compressor from OLP oper ation, the
outdoor fan is turned on/off according to the indoor pipe temp.
• While in defrost control, both of the indoor and outdoor fans are turned off.
■Defrost Control
• While in heating mode operation in order to protect the e vaporator pipe of the outdoor unit from freezing,
reversed to cooling cycle to defrost the evaporator pipe of the outdoor unit.
• After 40 min heating mode operation, at 4 min interval, whether to carry out defrost control or not and the time
of defrost control are determined according to the following conditions.
1) While in heating mode oper ation, the maxim um of the indoor pipe temper ature is measured and it is com-
pared with the present indoor pipe temper ature to get the diff erence of the indoor pipe temper atures (=the
maximum temperature of indoor pipe ? the present temper ature of indoor pipe), according to which, whether
to carry out defrost control or not is determined.
2) According to the need of defrost control shown above and the elapsed time of heating mode operation at that
moment, the defrost control time is determined.
3) When the determined time of defrost control is below 7 min, heating mode operation continues without carry-
ing out defrost control. According to the procedure stated abo ve, the determination is made again. When the
defrost control time is 7 min or longer, defrost control is then carried out.
• While in defrost control, the minimum temp of the indoor pipe is measured and it is compared with the present
temp of the indoor pipe to get the diff erence of the indoor pipe temper atures (=the present temper ature of the
indoor pipe ? the minimum temperature of the indoor pipe). When the difference is 5°C or higher, defrost con-
trol is completed and heating mode operation is carried out.
• While in defrost control, if the defrost time deter mined before the star t of defrost control is completed, defrost
control stops and heating mode operation is carried out regardless of the above condition.
• When the indoor pipe temp is 42 °C or abo ve, defrost control is not carr ied out even if the condition is one of
the defrost conditions above.
• While in defrost control, the compressor is on and the indoor fan, the outdoor fan, and the 4 way valve are off.

1) Selection of the best location
1. Indoor unit
• Do not have any heat or steam near the unit.
• Select a place where there are no obstacles in front of
the unit.
• Make sure that condensation drainage can be conve-
niently routed away.
Do not install near a doorway.
• Ensure that the space around the left and right of the
unit is more than "A". The unit should be installed as
high on the wall as possible, allowing a minimum of
"B" from ceiling.
• Use a stud finder to locate studs to prevent unneces-
sary damage to the wall.
2. Outdoor unit
• If an awning is built over the unit to prevent direct sun-
light or rain exposure, make sure that heat radiation
from the condenser is not restricted.
• Ensure that the space around the back and sides is
more than 10cm. The front of the unit should have
more than 70cm of space.
• Do not place animals and plants in the path of the
warm air.
• Take the air conditioner weight into account and select
a place where noise and vibration are minimum.
• Select a place so that the warm air and noise from the
air conditioner do not disturb neighbors.

2. Flaring Work and Connection of Piping
1) Flaring work
Main cause for refrigerant leakage is due to defect in
the flaring work. Carry out correct flaring work using the
following procedure.
1. Cut the pipes and the cable.
•
Use the piping kit accessory or pipes purchased locally.
• Measure the distance between the indoor and the
outdoor unit.
• Cut the pipes a little longer than the measured
distance.
• Cut the cable 1.5m longer than the pipe length.
2. Burr removal
• Completely remove all burrs from the cut cross sec-
tion of pipe/tube.
• Put the end of the copper tube/pipe in a downward
direction as you remove burrs in order to avoid drop-
ping burrs into the tubing.
3. Putting nut on
• Remove flare nuts attached to indoor and outdoor
unit, then put them on pipe/tube having completed
burr removal.
(not possible to put them on after flaring work)
4. Flaring work
• Firmly hold copper pipe in a die in the dimension
shown in the table above.
• Carry out flaring work using flaring tool as shown
below.
5. Check
• Compare the flared work with figure below.
• If flare is noted to be defective, cut off the flared sec-
tion and re-flare it.

2) Connection of piping Indoor
• Preparing the indoor unit's piping and drain hose for
installation through the wall.
• Remove the plastic tubing retainer(see illustration
below) and pull the tubing and drain hose away from
chassis.
• Replace the plastic tubing holder in the original posi-
tion.
1. Route the indoor tubing and the drain hose in the
direction of rear right.
2. Insert the connecting cable into the indoor unit
from the outdoor unit through the piping hole.
• Do not connect the cable to the indoor unit.
• Make a small loop with the cable for easy
connection later.
3. Tape the tubing, drain hose, and the connecting
cable. Be sure that the drain hose is located at the
lowest side of the bundle. Locating at the upper
side can cause drain pan to overflow inside the
unit.
NOTE: If the drain hose is routed inside the room,
insulate the hose with an insulation material* so that
dripping from "sweating"(condensation) will not damage
furniture or floors.
*Foamed polyethylene or equivalent is recommended.
4. Indoor unit installation
• Hook the indoor unit onto the upper portion of the
installation plate.(Engage the two hooks of the rear
top of the indoor unit with the upper edge of the instal-
lation plate.) Ensure that the hooks are properly seat-
ed on the installation plate by moving it left and right.
Press the lower left and right sides of the unit against
the installation plate until the hooks engage into their
slots(clicking sound).
4. Connecting the pipings to the indoor unit and drain
hose to drain pipe.
• Align the center of the pipes and sufficiently tighten
the flare nut by hand.
For right rear piping
CAUTION
When install, mak e sure
that the remaining par ts
must be remo ved clear ly
so as not to damage the
piping and dr ain hose,
especially power cord
and connecting cable.

• Overlap the connection pipe insulation material and
the indoor unit pipe insulation material. Bind them
together with vinyl tape so that there is no gap.
•Wrap the area which accommodates the rear piping
housing section with vinyl tape.
• Bundle the piping and drain hose together by wrap-
ping them with vinyl tape for enough to cover where
they fit into the rear piping housing section.
1. Route the indoor tubing and the drain hose to the
required piping hole position.
2. Insert the piping, drain hose, and the connecting
cable into the piping hole.
