Doing so may cause re or electric shock.
Do not install
in bathroom
Make sure that the main unit is not installed in a place with high humidity such as in a
bathroom.
Doing so may cause electric shock or injury.
Be sure to ground
Make sure that the ground wire is connected properly.
An electric shock may occur in the event of failure or electric leakage.
Ask an electrical contractor to connect the ground wire.
Follow
instructions
Use the specied voltage.
Failure to do so may cause re or electric shock.
Stop operation and make sure that the power supply isolator is turned off before starting maintenance.
Electric shock or injury may occur when power is supplied.
If you notice any abnormalities (burning smell, etc.), stop operation and turn off the
power supply isolator.
Continuing operation under an abnormal condition may cause failure, electric shock, re, etc.
Make sure that the outside air intake duct is located where exhaust or combustion gases
are not sucked in.
Fresh air may not be taken in and the room may run out of oxygen.
When not using for a long period of time, turn off the power supply isolator.
Insulation deterioration may cause electric shock or re due to an electrical fault.
When the air supply/exhaust holes on the wall are exposed to rainwater, make sure that a
hood is attached.
The entry of rain water may cause electric shock, re, damage to household goods, etc.
When thunder sounds, stop operation and turn off the circuit breaker.
Failure to do so may cause damage on electrical parts.
The following symbols indicate the degree of danger
caused by incorrect handling of the product.
Warning
Incorrect handling may
result in death or serious
injury.

- There is unusual noise or vibration during rotation.
- Rotation is slow or irregular. (The motor is a part that requires maintenance)
- There is a burning smell.
- There is corrosion, damage, etc. in the installation base of the main unit.
* Turn off the power supply isolator immediately and ask your dealer for inspection and repair.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent
or similarly qualied persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Caution
Prohibited
Do not place a burning appliance in a place exposed to air ow from Lossnay.
Incomplete combustion may result in an accident.
Do not stand on an unstable surface during maintenance.
You may fall off and get injured.
Do not touch
Do not place your ngers or any other object into the main unit during operation since the
rotors are rotating.
Doing so may cause injury.
Follow
instructions
Make sure that the main unit is not mounted on a wall (it must be mounted on a ceiling).
It may fall and cause injury.
Wear gloves during maintenance.
Failure to do so may cause injury.
Securely attach parts after maintenance.
They may fall and cause injury.
Stop operation when the outside temperature is low, wind and rain are strong.
Water penetrates inside together with supply air, causing water droplets to form.

Features
When using the unit
What is Lossnay?
A ventilator that exhausts stale air from the room (air exhaust) and cleans outside air and supplies it to the room. (Air supply)
The outside air is supplied after its temperature is brought close to room temperature. (Heat-exchange ventilation)
* Lossnay is not an air-conditioner. It is a ventilating fan that exchanges heat as it ventilates.
■ Stop operation in any of the following cases.
When the wind and rain are strong
When there is thick fog (water penetrates inside together with the supply air, causing water droplets to form)
When cleaning or inspecting
■ Obey the following cautions when using the Lossnay.
Do not use aerosol sprays (such as insect sprays, hair sprays or cleaners) directly on the unit.
The panel may warp, weaken, or become damaged.
Do not obstruct the panel.
Proper ventilation may be impeded.
■ Since Lossnay takes in outside air into the room, outside air smells (e.g., exhaust gas smell) may
also be taken in.
■ When the outside temperature is 0 °C or lower, the moisture of the indoor air can condense,
resulting in the water dropping from the main unit. To prevent this to happen, stop operation when
the outside temperature is 0 °C or lower. (If condensation is formed, wipe it off with a soft cloth.)
Filters
This unit has a total of two lters, an air supply lter and an air exhaust lter.
■ These lters remove about 80% (by the mass method) of particles bigger than 10 microns (0.01 mm),
such as dust, sand, and pollen.
* Small particles and insects may pass through. To enhance trapping efciency, you can replace the air
supply lter with a separately sold high performance dust lter. Contact your dealer for purchase.

Handling the remote controller battery
Observe the following instructions to ensure safe use of the remote controller and correct use of the remote
controller lithium battery.
Caution
Prohibited
Do not leave the battery and remote controller in a location that is accessible by small children.
Accidental swallowing may cause chemical burns.
If the battery is swallowed, consult with your doctor immediately.
Do not short circuit, disassemble, modify, heat, or charge the remote controller battery, or throw it into re.
Doing so may cause heat generation, liquid leakage, rupture, re, electric shock, or injury.
Follow
instructions
Insert the plus [+] and minus [-] of the remote controller battery correctly. Immediately
remove a battery that has run out of power from the remote controller.
Incorrect use of the battery may result in liquid leakage, rupture, heat generation, injury, or failure.

3. Installing the remote controller holder
Secure the remote controller holder with the
supplied mounting screws.
- We do not recommend that you operate the unit with
the remote controller placed in the remote controller
holder, since the reception sensitivity decreases.
- If you wish to operate the unit with the remote
controller placed in the remote controller holder,
check the position where you can operate the
unit with the remote controller and then install the
remote controller holder.
<Remote controller operation range>
Note
- The remote controller operation range above
shows the case where you operate the unit
with the remote controller pointed toward the
light receiver of the main unit.
- If the sensitivity has decreased, replace the
battery.
- It may not be possible to use the remote
controller in the following locations:
- Location where an obstacle exists between the
main unit light receiver and remote controller
- Location where exposed to strong light from
inverter lighting equipment
- Location where strong light such as direct
sunlight shines on the main unit light receiver
- Location where exposed to electromagnetic
radiation, such as near a television
- When placing a bed, we recommend placing it
within the operation range of the remote
controller.

Operation
Press the buttons to operate.
Note
- When operating the unit with the remote
controller, point its transmitter toward the
receiver of the main unit.
- Gently press the center of buttons. Pressing
an edge or pressing with a nger tip may not

- The battery is a consumable part. When the
sensitivity has decreased, replace the battery
with a new one (CR2025: commercially available).
- If you cannot operate the unit with the remote
controller, see “When the remote controller cannot
be used” or see “Troubleshooting” on page 10.
-When you select “HIGH” or “LOW” for the air
volume, a “click” sound may come from inside
the unit. It is not an abnormality since it is a
relay switch sound.
When the remote controller cannot be
used
When the battery runs out of power and the
remote controller cannot be used, operate the unit
with the operation selector switch on the main
unit.
Each time you press the operation selector switch,
the operating mode switches as shown in the
