Safety precautions
•Before starting to use the system, please read these “Safety precautions” carefully to ensure proper operation of the system.
•The safety precautions are classified as “ DANGER” and “ CAUTION”. Precautions as shown in the column “ DANGER” indicate that
improper handling could have dramatic consequences like death, serious injury, etc. Nevertheless, even precautions as shown in the column
“CAUTION” might pose a serious problem, depending on the circumstances. Please observe these precautions with great care, since they are
essential to your safety.
•Symbols which appear frequently in the text have the following meaning:
•When you have read the instruction manual, please keep it near at hand for consultation. If someone else takes over as operator, make certain that the
manual is also passed on to the new operator.
Strictly prohibited Provide positive earthing
Do not expose yourself to the cooling
air for prolonged periods.
This could affect your physical condition and cause
health problems.
Make sure that the system has been properly earthed.
Earth cables should never be connected to a gas pipe, municipal water pipe, light-
ning conductor or telephone earth cable. Incorrect installation of the earth cable
may produce an electric shock.
Depending on the place of installation, a circuit breaker may
be necessary.
If you don’t fit a circuit breaker, you may cause an electric shock.
Do not install near places where inflammable gas may leak.
Gas leaks may cause fire.
Make sure that you drain the hose properly, so that all the
water has dripped out.
Negligence may cause flooding in the room resulting in wet furniture.
Observe instructions with
great care
❚INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
DANGER
CAUTION
❚OPERATION PRECAUTIONS
DANGER
LPG
The system is meant for domestic, residential etc. use.
If used in inferior environments, such as an engineering workplace, the equipment
may function poorly.
The system must be installed by your dealer or a qualified pro-
fessional.
It is not advisable to install the system yourself, as faulty handling may cause leak-
age of water, electric shock or fire.
Store the remote controller out of
reach of infants.
Failure to observe this may result in the batteries
being swallowed or other accidents.
Don’t swing from the system.
If the system falls down,
you may get injured.
Only use approved fuses.
Use of steel or copper wire instead of an approved
fuse is strictly forbidden, as it may cause a breakdown
or fire.
CAUTION
Do not handle the switches with wet
hands.
This may cause an electric shock.
Do not insert anything into the air inlet.
This may cause injury, as the internal fan rotates at
high speed.
RKT012A754_En.p65 05.9.14, 1:42 PM2

–3–
Stand firmly on a stepladder or other
stable object when removing the inlet
panel and filters.
Failure to observe this may result in injury through
insecure objects toppling over.
Consult your dealer for repairs to the
system.
Wrong repairs could cause an electric shock, fire, etc.
If you notice anything abnormal (smell of
burning, etc.), stop the system, turn off the
power switch and consult your dealer.
Continued use of the system in abnormal circum-
stances may result in malfunctioning, electric shock,
fire, etc.
If the air-conditioner is moved else-
where, contact your dealer or a pro-
fessional fitter.
Faulty installation may cause water leakage, elec-
tric shock, fire, etc.
❚PRECAUTIONS FOR TRANSFER OR REPAIRS
DANGER
Safety precautions
CAUTION
Do not place objects near the outdoor
unit or allow leaves to gather around the
unit.
If there are objects or leaves around the outdoor unit,
small animals may enter unit and contact electrical
parts resulting in break down, emission of smoke or
flame.
Do not wash the air-conditioner with wa-
ter.
This could cause an electric shock.
You should not expose any combus-
tion appliance directly to the air
stream of the air-conditioner.
The appliance may then work inadequately.
Do not place a combustible insecticide
or paint spray near the blower, nor aim it
directly at the system.
This may result in a fire.
Do not place anything containing wa-
ter, like vases, on top of the unit.
Water entering the unit could damage the insula-
tion and therefore cause an electric shock.
The system should only be used for its original purpose
and not for anything else like, for instance, preservation of
food, plants or animals, precision devices or works of art.
The system is only intended for use in ordinary domestic rooms.
Any other use of the system may damage the quality of food, etc.
Do not install the system at a place
where the air stream of the blower is
aimed directly at plants or animals.
This will damage their health.
Do not sit on the outdoor unit nor put
anything on it.
If the unit falls down or things drop off it, people
could get hurt.
After a long period of use, check the unit's
support structure from time to time.
If you don't repair any damage straightaway, the
unit may fall down and cause personal injury.
Do not touch the aluminum fins on the
air heat exchanger.
Failure to observe this may result in injury.
If you operate the system together with
a combustion appliance, you must regu-
larly ventilate the indoor air.
Insufficient ventilation may cause accidents due to
oxygen deficiency.
When you clean the system, stop the
unit and turn off the power switch.
Never clean the unit while the internal fan is rotating.

Has the unit been installed correctly?
Pay attention to operating noises!
•When you install the unit, take care to choose a place that can comfortably stand the weight of the unit and does not increase the operating noise
or vibration. If there is any likelihood that vibration may be transmitted through the house, fix the unit with the aid of vibration-proof pads
between the unit and the fittings.
•Select a place where cold or hot air and operation noises from the indoor and outdoor units do not cause any inconvenience to your neighbours.
•Do not leave any obstacles near the outlet and inlet of the outdoor unit. This may cause malfunctioning and increased operating noise.
•If you hear an irregular noise during operation, contact your dealer.
Inspection and maintenance
Dependent upon service conditions and operating environment, the inside of the air-conditioner may become dirty after a number of seasons'
service (3 to 5 years). This will reduce performance. In addition to normal cleaning, we would recommend inspection and maintenance. (The air-
conditioner has a longer life without any trouble.)
•Contact your dealer, or any distributor, for inspection and maintenance. (There will be a charge for this service).
•We would recommend inspection and maintenance to be carried out during the off-season.
•If the supply cord of this appliance is damaged, it must only be replaced by a repair shop appointed by the manufacturer, because special
purpose tools are required.
Suitable installation position
•Is there any obstruction in front of the indoor unit, preventing proper ventilation and functioning?
•Don’t install the unit in any of the following places:
•Where there is a danger of leaking inflammable gases.
•Where there is substantial splashing of oil.
•Malfunctioning due to corrosion may occur if the unit is installed in a spa where sulfide gases are generated, or in a seaside resort exposed to
sea breezes. Contact your dealer.
•The air-conditioner and remote control must be at least 1 metre away from a TV set or radio.
•Drain the dehumidified liquid from the indoor unit into a spot that drains well.
Installing, inspecting, and replacing the natural enzyme filter and the photocatalytic washable deodorizing filter
• Inspecting and replacing the natural enzyme filter and the photocatalytic washable deodorizing filter
1. Open the air inlet panel and remove the air filters.
2. Remove the filter holders, with the natural enzyme filter and the photocatalytic washable
deodorizing filter installed in the holders, from the air-conditioner.
3. Remove the natural enzyme filter 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 about 1 year.
(The natural enzyme filter should be replaced after about 1 year of use. However, the actual
replacement period may vary depending on the conditions in which the filter is used.)
Remove the photocatalytic washable deodorizing filter 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 particularly 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.
(Do not dispose of the filter holders. They are reused.)
4. Install the natural enzyme filter and the photocatalytic washable deodorizing filter in the filter
holders, and then install the filter holders in the air-conditioner.
5. Install the air filters and close the air inlet panel.
NOTE
The natural enzyme filter and the photocatalytic washable
deodorizing filter may be installed on either the right or left side of
the air-conditioner.
CAUTION
Do not expose natural enzyme filters to direct sunlight for an extended period. The bacteriolytic effect will be lost.

Is there any direct sunlight en-
tering the room?
If the air-conditioner does not oper-
ate properly after you have checked
the left points, or if any doubt still
exists after you have consulted page
17, or if things happen as shown on
page 18, switch off the power and
contact your dealer.
An alternative refrigerant (R410A) is used in this air-conditioner. When asking the
dealer for service or inspection and maintenance, explain the dealer about this matter.
Please remember!
You cannot restart the unit immediately after you have
stopped it.
(RUN light is on)
Not
operating?
Air is not blown out when starting the HEATING operation.
RUN light blinks slowly
(1.5 sec ON, 0.5 sec OFF)
Air flow has stopped to prevent blowing out of cold air until the indoor
heat exchanger has warmed up. (2 to 5 min.) (HOT KEEP)
Air is not blown out for 5 to 10 min. at HEATING operation.
RUN light blinks slowly
(1.5 sec ON, 0.5 sec OFF)
When outdoor temperature is low and humidity is high, the unit some-
times performs defrosting automatically. Please wait. During defrost-
ing, water or steam may escape from the outdoor unit.
Air is not blown out when starting the DRY operation.
(RUN light is on)
The indoor fan may stop to prevent re-evaporation of dehumified
moisture and to save energy.
Some steam escapes during COOL operation. This may occur if the room's temperature and humidity are very high.
It disappears as soon as the temperature and humidity decrease.
Restarting has been blocked for 3 minutes after you have stopped or
after switching off the power during operation, to protect the unit.
The three-minute protection timer in the microcomputer automatically
starts up again.
Please wait for

When to contact your distributor without delay
Turn off the power switch immediately and inform your dealer in any of the following situations:
The fuse or switch blows continu-
ously.
The cable becomes extremely hot.
The covering of the cable is cracked.
The TV, radio or other equipment
starts to malfunction.
When faulty movement is observed when the ON/OFF but-
ton is pressed, even after pulling out the power plug and
restarting the operation after 3 minutes, the faulty move-
ment does not disappear.
A switch does not activate properly. You hear a strange noise during opera-
tion.
3 minutes go
by, but, why ...
Fuse often blows.
The RUN and TIMER lights on the unit indication section
blink quickly (0.5 sec. ON; 0.5 sec. OFF) and don’t work.
CAUTION
If the power cord becomes damaged, ask your dealer or a qualified engineer to install the
replacement to avoid accidents.
If the unit is operated for a long time in high humidity, moisture may
form on the air outlet grilles and start dripping.
You hear a slight gurgling sound. This is caused by refrigerating liquid moving within the unit.
You hear a slight cracking sound. This is caused by heat expansion or contraction.
Remote control signals may not be received if the signal receiver on
the air-conditioner is exposed to direct sunlight or other bright light.
If so, cut out the sunlight or reduce the other light.
After a power cut, you cannot re-start, even if power has been re-
stored, unless you have the power blackout auto restart function.
The memory circuit of the microcomputer has been wiped out. Use the
remote control to start the operation again.
Remote control signals are not received.
Moisture may form on the air outlet grilles.
There is a slight smell. Air blown out during operation may smell. This is caused by tobacco
or cosmetics sticking to the unit.
You hear a hissing or clicking sound. This is caused by the operation of the refrigerant control valves or
electric components.

Characteristics of HEAT mode operation
Mechanism and capacity of HEAT mode operation
■Mechanism
•The unit draws in heat from the cold outside air, transfers it indoors and heats the room. The heating capacity of the heat pump mechanism decreases
when the outside air temperature gets colder.
•The hot air circulation system takes a while before warming up the room temperature.
•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 defroster is activated and during defrosting the heating operation stops for 5 to 10 minutes.
•Both indoor and outdoor fans stop and the RUN light (green) 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.
Air-conditioner operating conditions
■Use within the following operational range. Operating outside of this range may result in the protection devices being activated, preventing the
unit from working.
Cooling operation Heating operation
Outside temperature Approximately 21 to 43 °C Below approximately -5 to 21 °C
Inside temperature Approximately 21 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.
Power Blackout Auto Restart Function
■What is power blackout auto restart function?
•Power blackout auto restart function is a function that records the operational status of the air-conditioner immediately prior to it being switched off
by a power cut, and then automatically resumes operations at that point after the power has been restored.
•The following settings will be cancelled:
1Timer settings
2HIGH POWER operations
•Ther power blackout auto restart function is set at on when the air-conditioner is shipped from the factory. Consult with your dealer if this
function needs to be switched off.
•When power failure ocurrs, the timer setting is cancelled. Once power is resumed, reset the timer.
