WARNING
WARNING Indicates a risk of death or serious injury if you misuse the PAC-YT53CRAU.
CAUTION Indicates a risk of serious injury or structural damage if you misuse the
PAC-YT53CRAU.
General precautions
Precautions for moving or repairing the controller
Do not install the unit in a place where large amounts of
oil, steam, organic solvents, or corrosive gases, such
as sulfuric gas, are present or where acidic/alkaline
solutions or sprays are used frequently. These
substances can compromise the performance of the
unit or cause certain components of the unit to corrode,
which can result in electric shock, malfunctions,
smoke, or fire.
To reduce the risk of shorting, current leakage, electric
shock, malfunctions, smoke, or fire, do not wash the
controller with water or any other liquid.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, malfunctions,
smoke or fire, do not operate the switches/buttons or
touch other electrical parts with wet hands.
When alcohol sterilization is performed, ventilate the
air to remove the gas.
To reduce the risk of injury or electric shock, stop the
operation and switch off the power supply before
cleaning, maintaining, or inspecting the controller.
To reduce the risk of injury or electric shock, before
spraying a chemical around the controller, stop the
operation and cover the controller.
If any abnormality (e.g., burning smell) is noticed, stop
the operation, turn off the power switch, and consult
your dealer. Continuing the operation may result in
electric shock, malfunctions, or fire.
Properly install all required covers to keep moisture
and dust out of the controller. Dust accumulation and
water can cause electric shock, smoke, or fire.
To reduce the risk of damage to the controller, do not
directly spray insecticide or other flammable sprays on
the controller.
To reduce the risk of electric shock or malfunctions, do
not touch the touch panel, switches, or buttons with a
pointy or sharp object.
To reduce the risk of injury and electric shock, avoid
contact with sharp edges of certain parts.
To reduce the risk of injury, wear protective gear when
working on the controller.
Consult your dealer for the proper disposal of the
controller.
The controller should be repaired or moved only by
qualified personnel.
Do not disassemble or modify the controller.
Improper installation or repair may cause injury, electric
shock, or fire.

CAUTION
Additional precautions
To reduce the risk of shorting, electric shock, fire, or
malfunction, do not touch the circuit board with tools or
with your hands, and do not allow dust to accumulate
on the circuit board.
To avoid damage to the unit, use appropriate tools to
install, inspect, or repair the unit. To avoid discoloration, do not use benzene, thinner, or
chemical rag to clean the controller.
To clean the controller, wipe with a soft cloth soaked in
water with mild detergent, wipe off the detergent with a
wet cloth, and wipe off water with a dry cloth.

Basic operations
Pressing the button will change the operation mode in the following order.
*1: Not all functions are available on all models of indoor units. Functions that are not available will not
appear on the display.
*2: The preset temperature for AUTO (either single or dual set point) mode will appear depending on
the indoor unit model.
*3: Available only on the M-Series and P-Series unit interlocked with LOSSNAY unit.
"VENTI." will light up when LOSSNAY unit operates while the unit is in operation.
AUTO (dual set point) mode:
In AUTO (dual set point) mode, the preset temperatures can be set for cooling and heating, and
operation can be switched automatically between cooling and heating depending on the room
temperature.
The preset temperatures for cooling and heating set in AUTO (dual set point) mode will be reflected
to the temperature setting for COOL/DRYING and HEAT modes.
SETBACK mode:
The SETBACK function automatically switches the operation mode between cooling and heating to
maintain the room temperature within the set temperature range.
The preset temperatures for cooling and heating set in SETBACK mode can be different from the
preset temperatures for other modes.
