1. Warning: Prior to repair, disconnect the
power cord from the circuit breaker.
2. Use proper parts: Use only exact replace-
ment parts. (Also, we recommend replacing
parts rather than repairing them.)
3. Use the proper tools: Use the proper tools
and test equipment, and know how to use
them. Using defective tools or test equip-
ment may cause problems later-intermittent
contact, for example.
4. Power Cord: Prior to repair, check the
power cord and replace it if necessary.
5. Avoid using an extension cord, and avoid
tapping into a power cord. This practice
may result in malfunction or fire.
6. After completing repairs and reassembly,
check the insulation resistance. Procedure:
Prior to applying power, measure the resis-
tance between the power cord and the
ground terminal. The resistance must be
greater than 30 megohms.
7. Make sure that the grounds are adequate.
8. Make sure that the installation conditions
are satisfactory. Relocate the unit if neces-
sary.
9. Keep children away from the unit while it is
being repaired.
10. Be sure to clean the unit and its surround-
ing area.

1. AUTO MODE : In this mode, operation
mode(COOL, HEAT, DRY) is selected auto-
matically by the room temperature of initial
operation.
∆T= -1°, -2°C, 0°C+1°C+2°C
∆T is controlled by setting temperature
up/down key of remote controller
2. COOL MODE : The unit operates according
to the difference between the setting and
room temperature. (18°C~30°C)
3. HEAT MODE : The unit operates according
to the difference between the setting and
room temperature.(16°C~30°C)
*Prevention against cold wind : For about
3~5 minutes after initial operation, thermo
control or “de-ice”, the indoor fan will
either not operate or operate very slow-
ly(510 rpm), then switch to the selected fan
speed. This period is to allow the indoor
unit's heat-exchanger to prewarm before
emitting warm air.
*High temperature release function : The
outdoor unit for and compressor ON/OFF
control for safety operation, when the over-
heat is heat exchanger of indoor unit.
*De-ice : Deicing operation is controlled by
indoor unit's heat exchanger temperature
and accumulating time of compressor's
operation.
De-ice end by sensing of the processing
time by de-ice Condition.
4. DRY MODE : Has 3 states, each determined
by room temperature.
The unit operates in DRY mode.
*Compressor ON/OFF Time is controlled
compulsorily(can not set up the fan speed,
always breeze).
*Protective function : Low temperature
release. (Prevention against freeze)
5. TURBO MODE : This mode is available in
AUTO, COOL, HEAT, DRY, FAN MODE.
When this button is pressed at first, the air
conditioner is operated “powerful” state for
30 minutes regardless of the set tempera-
ture, room temperature.
When this button is pressed again, or when
the operating time is 30 minutes, turbo
operation mode is canceled and returned to
the previous mode.
*But, if you press the TURBO button in DRY
or FAN mode that is changed with AUTO
mode automatically.
6. SLEEP MODE : Sleep mode is available
only in COOL or HEAT mode.
The operation will stop after 6 hours.
*In COOL mode : The setting temperature
is automatically raised by 1°C each 1hour
When the temperature has been raised by
total of 2°C, that temperature is main-
tained.
*In HEAT mode : The setting temperature
is automatically droped by 1°C each 1hour.
When the temperature has been droped by
total of 2°C, that temperature is main-
tained.
7. FAN SPEED : Manual (3 step), Auto (4 step)
Fan speed automatically varies depending
on both the difference between setting and
the room temperature.

Wall 3.
Window frame 4 to 6.
3. Fix the installation plate to the wall in a manner appro-
priate to the weight of the indoor unit.
If you are mounting the plate on a concrete wall with
anchor bolts, the anchor bolts must not project by more
than 20mm.
4. Determine the positions of the wooden uprights to be
attached to the window frame.
5. Attach the wooden uprights to the window frame in a
manner appropriate to the weight of the indoor unit.
6. Using tapped screws, attach the installation plate to the
wooden uprights, as illustrated in the last figure oppo-
site.
On delivery, the indoor unit is loaded with an inert gas.
All this gas must therefore be purged before connecting the
assembly piping. To purge the inert gas, proceed as fol -
lows.
Unscrew the caps at the end of each pipe.
Result : All inert gas escapes from the indoor unit.
• To prevent dirt or foreign objects from getting into
the pipes during installation, do NOT remove the
caps completely until you are ready to connect the
piping.

3-2-2(c) Connecting the Assembly Cable.
3-2-2(d) Installing and Connecting the Indoor Unit Drain Hose
Care must be taken when installing the drain hose for the indoor unit to ensure that any condensa -
tion water is correctly drained outside.l When passing the drain hose through the 65mm hole drilled
in the wall, check that none of the following situations occur.
To install the drain hose, proceed as follows.
1. If necessary, connect the 2-metre extension to the drain hose.
2. If you are using the extension, insulate the inside part of the extension drain hose with a shield.
3. Pass the drain hose under the refrigerant piping, taking care to keep the drain hose tight.
4. Pass the drain hose through the hole in the wall, making sure that it is sloping downwards, as
shown in the illustrations above.
Indoor unit
Outdoor unit
The outdoor unit is powered from the indoor unit via the assembly
cable. If the outdoor unit is more than five metres away from the
indoor unit, the cable must first be extended to a maximum of ten
metres.
1. Extend the assembly cable if necessary.
2. Open the front grille by pulling on the tabs on the lower right and
left sides of the indoor unit.
3. Remove the screw securing the connector cover.
4. Pass the assembly cable through the rear of the indoor unit and
connect the assembly cable to terminals 1 to 5.
• Each wire is labelled with the corresponding terminal number.
5. Firmly fix the ass’y cable with clamp wire holder.
6. Pass the other end of the cable through the 65mm hole in the wall.
7. Replace the connector cover, carefully tightening the screw.
8. Close the front grille.
9. For further details on how to plug the other end of the assembly
cable into the outdoor unit, refer to page 12.
The hose must
NOT slope upw
ards.
The hose will be fixed permanently into position once
the whole installation has been tested for gas leaks;
refer to page 16 for further details.
The end of the drain
hose must NOT be
placed in water.
Do NOT bend the
hose in different
directions.
Keep a clearance of at
least 5cm between the
end of the hose and the
ground.
Do NOT place the end
of the drain hose in a
hollow.
