@
In case of an abnormal condition (such as a burning
smell), stop the air conditioner and disconnect the power
plug or turn the breaker OFF.
• A continued operation in the abnormal state may cause a
malfunction, fire, or electric shock. In this case, consult your
dealer.
When the air conditioner does not cool or heat, there is
a possibility of refrigerant leakage. In this case, consult
your dealer. If a repair involves recharging the unit with
refrigerant, ask the service technician for details.
• The refrigerant used in the air conditioner is safe. Normally,
it does not leak. However, if refrigerant leaks and comes in
contact with a heat source such as a fan heater, kerosene
heater, or cooking stove, it will create a harmful gas.
Do not touch the air inlet or the aluminum fins of theindoor/outdoor unit.
• This may cause injury.
Do not use insecticides or flammable sprays on the
unit.
• This may cause a fire or deformation of the unit.
Do not expose pets or houseplants to direct airflow.
• This may cause injury to the pets or plants.
Do not place other electric appliances or furniture under
the indoor/outdoor unit.
• Water may drip down from the unit, which may cause dam-
age or malfunction.

Do not pull the power cord.
• This may cause a portion of the core wire to break, which
may cause overheating or fire.
Do not charge or disassemble the batteries, and do not
throw them into a fire.
• This may cause the batteries to leak, or cause a fire or explo-
sion.
Do not operate the unit for more than 4 hours at high hu-
midity (80% RH or more) andlor with windows or outside
door left open.
• This may cause the water condensation in the air conditioner,
which may drip down, wetting or damaging the furniture.
• The water condensation in the air conditioner may contribute
to growth of fungi, such as mold.
Do not use the unit for special purposes, such as storing
food, raising animals, growing plants, or preserving preci-
sion devices or art objects.

What is "Catechin air filter" ?
Catechin is a bioflavonoid that is found in green tea that has both antivi-
ral and antioxidant qualities. In addition to these benefits, Catechin also
offers excellent deodorizing characteristics. Catechin air filter uses this
compound to not only improve air quality but also prevent the spread of
bacteria and viruses in the room.
•Clean the filters regularly for best performance and to
reduce power consumption,
•Dirty filters cause condensation in the air conditioner
which will contribute to the growth of fungi such as
mold. it is therefore recommended to clean air filters
every 2 weeks=

* OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS *
Even if these items are checked, when the unit does not recover from the
trouble, stop using the air conditioner and consult your dealer.
The unit cannot be operated.
The horizontal vane does not
move.
The unit cannot be operated
for about 3 minutes when
restarted.
The fan stops during the DRY
operation.
<MS TYPE ONLY>
Mist is discharged from the air
outlet of the indoor unit.
The swing operation of the
HORIZONTAL VANE is
suspended for a while, then
restarted.
The air flow direction changes
during operation.
The direction of the horizontal
vane cannot be adjusted with
the remote controller.
The unit starts operation by
itself when the main power
is turned on, though it isn't
operated with the remote
controller.
Water leaks from the outdoor
unit.
The fan of the outdoor unit
does not rotate even though
the compressor is running.
Even if the fan starts to rotate,
it stops soon.
i " Is the breaker turned on?
:. Is the power supply plug connected?
:. Is the ON timer set?
i " Is the horizontal vane installed correctly?
:. Is the fan guard deformed?
i " This protects the unit according to instruc-
tions from the microprocessor. Please
wait.
i " In DRY operation, the unit operates using the
same refrigerant circuit as in COOL opera-
tion. DRY operation time has to be reduced
in order to lower humidity without much room
temperature decreasing. So the compres-
sor sometimes stops, and at the same time
the indoor fan stops. This prevents water
condensed on the heat exchanger from
evaporating again.
] " The cool air from the unit rapidly cools mois-
ture in the air inside the room, and it turns
into mist.
i " This is for the swing operation of the HORI-
ZONTAL VANE to be performed normally.
i " When the unit is operated in COOL or DRY
mode, if the operation continues with air
blowing down for around t hour, the direction
of the air flow is automatically set to position
(1) to prevent water from condensing and
dripping.
i " These models are equipped with an auto re-
start function. When the main power is turned
off without stopping the unit with the remote
controller and is turned on again, the unit
starts operation automatically in the same
mode as the one set with the remote control-
lerjust before the shut offof the main power.
Refer to "Auto restart function" _.
i " During COOL and DRY operations, pipe or
pipe connecting sections are cooled and this
causes water to condense.
l" When the outside temperature is low dur-
ing cooling operation, the fan operates
intermittently to maintain sufficient cooling
capacity.
