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

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
room.
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
closed, it is a good idea to
open them and ventilate the
room now and then.

please contact your dealer.
Troubleshooting Tips! Save time and money!
•Have you made a
mistake in timer
operation?
•Has the fuse blown
or has the circuit
breaker been
tripped?
•Check that this is not
a damp smell exuded
by the walls, carpet,
furniture or cloth
items in the room.
•Condensation occurs
when the airflow from
the air conditioner
cools the warm room
air.
•This is the protector
of the mechanism.
•Wait about three
minutes and
operation will begin.
The air conditioner
does not operate. The room has a peculiar odor. It seems that condensation is
leaking from the air
conditioner.
Air conditioner does
not operate for about
3 minutes when
restart.
Does not cool or heat
effectively. The air conditioner operation is noisy. Crack sound is heard. Remote control display is faint, or no
display at all.
•Is the air filter dirty?
See air filter cleaning
instructions.
•The room may have
been very hot when
the room air
conditioner was first
turned on. Allow time
for it to cool down.
•Has the temperature
been set incorrectly?
•Are the indoor unit's
air inlet or outlet vents
obstructed?
•For a noise that
sounds like water
flowing.
-This is the sound of
freon flowing inside
the air conditioner
unit.
•For a noise that
sounds like the
compressed air
releasing into
atmosphere.
-This is the sound of
the dehumidifying
water being
processed inside the
air conditioning unit.
•This sound is generated
by the expansion/
constriction of the front
panel, etc. due to
changes of
temperature.
•Cleaning the filter,
press the Timer button
and button of wired
remote controller at
the same time for 3
sec.
•Are the batteries
depleted?
•Are the batteries
inserted in the
opposite (+) and (-)
directions?
