Operating Recommendations
Here are a few recommendations that you should follow when using
your air conditioner.
Topic Recommendation
Heating performances The heat pump inside the air conditioner
absorbs heat from outside air and brings it
indoors. If the temperature of the outside air
drops, the air conditioner will heat less. If you
find that the room is not warm enough, use an
additional heating appliance.
Warm air circulation The air conditioner circulates warm air to heat
your room; as a result, some time will be
required after starting the air conditioner to
warm the entire room. If necessary, set the air
conditioner going a short time before you wish
to use the room.
Power failure If a power failure occurs when the air conditioner
is operating, the unit is switched off. When the
power returns,
you must press the (ON/OFF)
button to restart it.
ENGLISH
High indoor and outdoor
temperatures If both the indoor and outdoor temperatures are
high and you select the Heat mode, the outdoor
unit’s fan and compressor may stop at times.
This is normal; simply wait until the air conditioner
switches on again.
Frost When outside temperatures are low and humidity
is high, frost may form in the outdoor unit when
heating with your air conditioner.
If this happens:
◆The heating operation is stopped.
◆The eice mode is triggered automatically
for about seven minutes.
◆The OPERATION indicator on the indoor unit
lights up green.
No intervention is required from you; after about
seven minutes, the air conditioner starts operating
again normally.

E-20
Temperature and Humidity Ranges
The following table indicates the temperature and humidity ranges
within which the air conditioner can be used.
If the air conditioner is used at... Then...
High temperatures The automatic protection feature may
be triggered and the air conditioner
stopped.
Low temperatures A water leakage or some other
malfunction may happen if the heat
exchanger freezes.
High humidity levels Water may condense on and drip
from the surface of the indoor unit if it
is used for long periods.
