❚INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
DANGER
❚OPERATION PRECAUTIONS
DANGER
Make sure that the system has been properly earthed.
Depending on the place of installation, a circuit breaker may
be necessary.
Do not install near places where inflammable gas may leak.
Make sure that you drain the hose properly, so that all the
water has dripped out.
The system is meant for domestic, residential etc. use. The system must be installed by your dealer or a qualified pro-
fessional.
If used in inferior environments, such as an engineering
workplace, the equipment may function poorly.
It is not advisable to install the system yourself, as faulty
handling may cause leakage of water, electric shock or fire.
Gas leaks may cause fire. If you don’t fit a circuit breaker, you may cause an electric
shock.
Negligence may cause flooding in the room resulting in wet
furniture.
Earth cables should never be connected to a gas pipe, municipal
water pipe, lightning conductor or telephone earth cable. Incor-
rect installation of the earth cable may produce an electric shock.
Do not expose yourself to the cooling
air for prolonged periods.
Store the remote control out of reach
of infants.
Don’t swing from the system.
Only use approved fuses.
CAUTION
Do not handle the switches with wet
hands.
Do not insert anything into the air inlet.
This could affect your physical condi-
tion and cause health problems.
This may cause injury, as the inter-
nal fan rotates at high speed.
Failure to observe this may result in
the batteries being swallowed or
other accidents.
Use of steel or copper wire instead of
an approved fuse is strictly forbidden,
as it may cause a breakdown or fire.
This may cause an electric shock. If the system falls down,
you may get injured.
CAUTION
Do not wash the air-conditioner with wa-
ter.
You should not expose any combus-
tion appliance directly to the air
stream of the air-conditioner.

accidents due to oxygen deficiency.
Failure to observe this may result in
injury through insecure objects top-
pling over.
Never clean the unit while the internal
fan is rotating. If there are objects or leaves around
the outdoor unit, small animals
may enter unit and contact electri-
cal parts resulting in break down,
emission of smoke or flame.
The use of a non-approved detergent
or improper washing method can
damage the unit’s plastic compo-
nents and cause leaks. Damage,
smoke, or fire can also result if the
detergent comes in contact with
electrical parts or the unit’s motor.
Electrical storms can damage the unit.
Consult your dealer for repairs to the
system.
If you notice anything abnormal (smell of
burning, etc.), stop the system, turn off the
power switch and consult your dealer.
If the air-conditioner is moved else-
where, contact your dealer or a pro-
fessional fitter.
If the air-conditioner fails to cool or warm, it may have a refrigerant leak. Contact
your dealer.
If refrigerant needs to be added, check with your dealer for proper instructions.
Wrong repairs could cause an electric
shock, fire, etc.
Faulty installation may cause water
leakage, electric shock, fire, etc.
Continued use of the system in ab-
normal circumstances may result in
malfunctioning, electric shock, fire,
etc.
The refrigerant used in your air-conditioner is safe. However, if refrigerant unexpectedly leaks
from the unit onto a fan heater, stove, hotplate or other heat source, harmful products could be
released.

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.
Outside temperature Approximately 21 to 43 °C 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
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 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.
Press the FAN SPEED button
Set the fan speed as desired.

Air flow direction adjustment procedure
Adjusting air flow direction
■Up/down direction can be adjusted with the AIRFLOW button on the remote control. Each time when you press this button the mode changes
as follows:
Change to AIRFLOW mode.
•When heating operation starts, the cold air outlet is blocked, so the flap move to the horizontal position, and resume the position that was set after the warm air
output begins.
•When the compressor stops because the room temperature is higher than the temperature setting and it is in DEFROSTING operation, the flap will be in the
horizontal position.
•The air flow direction cannot be set in the instances above. Change the air flow direction settings after the warm air starts flowing and it moves to the airflow
direction that had been set.

Installing, inspecting, and replacing the air-cleaning filter
1. Open the air inlet panel and remove the air filters.
2. Remove the filter holders, with the air-cleaning filter installed in the folders, from the air-condi-
tioner.
3. 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 dirt, it may be washed with wa-
ter. 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 from the filter holder and inspect the filters. Use a vacuum
cleaner to remove any dust or dirt from the natural enzyme filters. Replace the natural enzyme
filters 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 filters is used.)
(Do not dispose of the filter holders. They are reused. )
4. Install the air-cleaning filter in the filter holders, and then install the filter holders in the
air-conditioner.
5. Install the air filters and closed the air inlet panel.

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.
The air-conditioner does not work at all.
Has the timer been set in the
“ON”position?

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)
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
three minutes.
If the unit is operated for a long time in high humidity, moisture may
form on the air outlet grills and start dripping.
You hear a slight gurgling sound. This is caused by liquid refrigerant moving within the piping of indoor
unit. Liquid refrigerant will be evaporated and become as gaseous re-
frigerant during passing through the pipe in order to absorb the heat
inside the room.
You hear a slight cracking sound. This is caused by expansion and contraction of plastic body. Tempera-
ture change of plastic material due to compressor’s alternative opera-
tion cause a slight cracking noise.
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.

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 grills.
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.
Indoor fan : Fan will not stop after 2 hours if set to CLEAN operation.
Fan won't stop immediately after unit operation was
stopped.
The RUN light illuminates during CLEAN operation.
Run light turns off when CLEAN operation ends.
