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

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 -15 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
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 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.

•When heating operation starts, the cold air outlet is blocked, so the flap and louver move to the horizontal / center 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 and louvers will be
in the horizontal / center 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.
NOTE
Air flow direction adjustment procedure
Adjusting air flow direction
■Up/down direction can be adjusted with the AIRFLOW (UP/DOWN) button on the remote control. Each time when you press this button
the mode changes as follows:
Change to AIRFLOW (UP/DOWN) mode.
(Swing)
(Flap stopped)
■Left/right direction can be adjusted with the AIRFLOW (LEFT/RIGHT) button on the remote control. Each time when you press this
button the mode changes as follows:
Change to AIRFLOW (LEFT/RIGHT) mode.
(Louver stopped)
(Swing)
MEMORY FLAP (FLAP OR LOUVER STOPPED)
When you press the AIRFLOW (UP/DOWN or LEFT/RIGHT) button once while the flap or louver is
operating, it stops swinging at an angle.Since this angle is memorized in the microcomputer, the flap or
louver will automatically be set at this angle when the next operation is started.

DANGER
•Avoid constant airflow to the body for hours on end.
CAUTION
•When in COOL or DRY operation, do not operate for hours on end with the air
flow blowing straight down. Otherwise, condensation may appear on the outlet
grill and drip down.
•Do not try to adjust the flaps and louvers by hand, as the control angle may
change or the flap or louver may not close properly.

Installing, inspecting, and replacing the allergen clear 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 allergen clear filter and the photocatalytic washable deo-
dorizing filter installed in the holders, from the air-conditioner.
3. Remove the allergen clear filter from filter holder and inspect the filter. Use a vacuum cleaner
to remove any dust or dirt from the allergen clear filter. Replace the allergen clear filter if it
cannot be cleaned or if it has been for about 1 year.
(The allergen clear 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 dirt, 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 allergen clear 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 closed the air inlet panel.
NOTE
The allergen clear filter and the photocatalytic washable deodorizing filter
may be installed on either the right or left side of the air-conditioner.
For replacement allergen clear filters and photocatalytic washable deodorizing filters, contact your dealer.
The power of enzymes is used to eliminate allergy-causing
allergens that accumulate on the filter.
Sources of odors on the filter are broken up, resulting in a
deodorizing effect.

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.
