ADDITIONAL NOTES ON OPERATION
OPERATING TEMPERATURE RANGE • The built-in protective de-
vice may prevent the unit
from operating when used
out of this range.
• Condensation may form on
the air outlet if the unit op-
erates continuously in the
COOL or DRY mode when
humidity is over 80 percent.
PREHEATING FUNCTION
In the HEAT operation, the indoor fan may not start for two to five minutes after the unit is turned on
to prevent cold air from blowing out of the unit.
DE-ICING FUNCTION
• When ice forms on the heat exchanger in the outdoor unit during the HEAT operation, an
automatic de-icer provides heat for about 5 to 10 minutes to remove the ice. During de-icing, the
inside and outside fans stop operating.
• After de-icing is completed, the unit automatically resumes operation in the HEAT mode.
HEATING EFFICIENCY
• The unit employs a heat pump that draws heat from the outside air and releases it into the room.
The outside air temperature therefore greatly affects the heating efficiency.
• If the heating efficiency is reduced due to low outside temperatures, use an additional heater.
• It takes time to warm up and heat the entire room because of the forced air circulation system.
WHEN POWER FAILURE OCCURS
This air conditioner has a memory function to store settings when a power failure occurs.
After power recovery, the unit will automatically re-start in the same settings which were active before
the power failure, except for timer settings.
If the timers were set before a power failure, they will need to be re-set after power recovery.
TIPS ON SAVING ENERGY
Below are some simple ways to save energy when you use your air conditioner.
SET THE CORRECT TEMPERATURE
• Setting the thermostat 1°C higher than the desired temperature in the COOL mode and 2°C lower
in the HEAT mode will save approximately 10 percent in power consumption.
• Setting the temperature lower than necessary during cooling operation will result in increased
power consumption.
BLOCK DIRECT SUNLIGHT AND PREVENT DRAFTS
• Blocking direct sunlight during cooling operation will reduce power consumption.
• Close the windows and doors during cooling and heating operations.
SET PROPER AIR FLOW DIRECTION TO OBTAIN THE BEST AIR
CIRCULATION
KEEP FILTER CLEAN TO ENSURE THE MOST EFFICIENT OPERATION
MAKE MOST OF THE TIMER OFF FUNCTION
DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD WHEN THE UNIT IS NOT USED FOR AN
EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME
• The indoor unit still consumes a small amount of power when it is not operating.

BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE
IF THE UNIT FAILS TO RECEIVE THE REMOTE CONTROL SIGNAL
Check whether the remote con-
trol batteries have become old
and weak.
Try to send the signal again with
the remote control pointed prop-
erly towards the unit’s signal re-
ceiver window.
Check whether the remote con-
trol batteries are installed with
the polarities properly aligned.
The following conditions do not denote equipment malfunctions
UNIT DOES NOT OPERATE
The unit will not operate if it is turned on immediately
after it is turned off. The unit will not operate
immediately after the mode is changed. This is to
protect the internal mechanisms. Wait 3 minutes
before operating the unit.
UNIT DOES NOT SEND OUT WARM AIR
The unit is preheating or de-icing.
CRACKING NOISE
The unit may produce a cracking noise. This sound
is generated by the friction of the front panel and
othercomponentsexpandingor connectingduetoa
temperature change.
If the unit appears to be malfunctioning, check the following points before calling for
service.
IF THE UNIT FAILS TO OPERATE
Check to see if the circuit breaker has tripped or the fuse has blown.
IF THE UNIT FAILS TO COOL (OR HEAT) THE ROOM EFFECTIVELY
Check the filters. If dirty, clean
them. Check the outdoor unit to make
sure nothing is blocking the air in-
let or outlet.
Check the thermostat is proper
setting.
Make sure windows and doors
are closed tightly. A large number of people in the room can prevent the unit from
achieving the desired tempera-
ture.
Check whether any heat-gen-
erating appliances are operat-
ing in the room.
ODORS
Carpet and furniture odors that entered into the
unit and the air conditioner's inner component
odors at the early stage of installation may be sent
out from the unit.
Please call for service when OPERATION lamp and TIMER lamp on the indicator panel blink.
A LOW BUZZING NOISE EMITTED
This is a sound emitted when the unit is generating
Plasmacluster ions.
SWISHING NOISE
The soft, swishing noise is the sound of the refrig-
erant flowing inside the unit.
WATER VAPOUR
• In the COOL and DRY operation, water vapour
can sometimes be seen at the air outlet due to
the difference between the room air tempera-
ture and the air discharged by the unit.
• In the HEAT operation, water vapour may flow
out of the outdoor unit during de-icing.
ODOR EMITTED FROM THE
PLASMACLUSTER AIR OUTLET
This is the smell of ozone generated from the
Plasmacluster Ion generator. The ozone
concentration is very small, posing no adverse
effect on your health. The ozone discharged into
the air rapidly decomposes, and its density in the
room will not increase.
