Inside temperature Approximately 18 to 32 °C Approximately 15 to 30 °C
Below approximately 80%
The long-term use of the unit with a humidity level
Inside humidity
exceeding 80% may result in condensation forming —
on the surface of the indoor unit, leading to water drips.
Characteristics of HEAT mode operation
Mechanism and capacity of HEAT mode operation
■Mechanism
•The unit draws heat from the cold outside air, transfers it to indoors and heats the room. As a characteristic of heat pump system, the
heating capacity reduces when the outside air temperature gets colder.
•It may take some time to supply hot air after turning on the air-conditioner.
•If the outside temperature becomes extremely low, it would be better to use an additional source of heating.
Defrosting
If the outside temperature becomes low and humidity is high, the heat exchanger in the outdoor unit may frost over, which prevents
efficient heating.
If this happens, the automatic defrost function is activated and during defrosting the heating operation stops for 5 to 15 minutes
during defrosting.
•Both indoor and outdoor fans stop and the RUN light blinks slowly (1.5 sec. ON, 0.5 sec. OFF) during defrosting.
•The outdoor unit may give off some steam during defrosting. This is to help the defrosting process and is not a defect.
•The HEAT operation resumes as soon as defrosting has been completed.
Press the FAN SPEED button
Set the fan speed as preferred.

1. Remove the air filter. Page 18
2. Remove the filter holders, with the air-cleaning filter installed in the holders, from
the air filter.
3. Remove the photocatalytic washable deodorizing filter (orange) from the filter holder
and inspect the filter. Periodically, remove any dust or dirt from the photocatalytic
washable deodorizing filter. If the photocatalytic washable deodorizing filter is par-
ticularly dirty, it may be washed with water. However, the filter is fragile so be sure to
wash it installed in the filter holder to avoid damaging it. After washing the filter,
place it in sunlight to dry. Placing the filter in sunlight revitalizes the deodorizing
effect.
Remove the natural enzyme filter (green) from the filter holder and inspect the filter.
Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any dust or dirt from the natural enzyme filter.
Replace the natural enzyme filter if it cannot be cleaned or if it has been used for
