2Be careful not to expose your body directly to the outlet air for a long time. It may affect
your physical conditions.
3Whenusingtheairconditionerforinfants,children,elderly,bedridden,ordisabledpeople
make sure the room temperature is suitable for those in the room.
4Never insert objects into the unit. Inserting objects can result in injury due to the high
speed rotation of internal fans.
5Ground the air conditioner without fail. Do not connect the grounding wire to gas pipe,
waterpipe,lightning rodor telephonegroundingwire. Incompletegroundingmay cause
electric shock.
6If anything is abnormal with the air conditioner (ex. a burning smell), stop the operation
immediately and turn the circuit breaker OFF.
7Follow local rules and regulations for power supply cord cabling. Improper cable
connection can cause the power supply cord, plug and the electrical outlet to overheat
and cause fire.
8Useonlythemanufacture-specifiedpowercordforreplacement.Replacementshouldbe
performed by a qualified technician or a service person.
WARNINGS FOR INSTALLATION / REMOVAL / REPAIR
•Donotattempttoinstall/remove/repairtheunit byyourself.Incorrectworkwillcauseelectric
shock, water leak, fire etc. Consult your dealer or other qualified service personnel for the
installation/removal/repair of the unit.
This equipment complies with the requirements of Directives 89/336/EEC and 73/23/
EEC as amended by 93/68/EEC.

PRECAUTIONS
CAUTIONS FOR USE
1Open a window or door periodically to ventilate the room, especially when using gas
appliances. Insufficient ventilation may cause oxygen shortage.
2Do not operate the buttons with wet hand. It may cause electric shock.
3For safety, turn the circuit breaker off when not using the unit for an extended period of
time.
4Check the outdoor unit mounting rack periodically for wear and to make sure it is firmly
in place.
5Do not put anything on the outdoor unit nor step on it. The object or the person may fall
down or drop, causing injury.
6This unit is designed for residential use. Do not use for other applications such as in a
kennel or greenhouse to raise animals or grow plants.
7Do not place a vessel with water on the unit. If water penetrates into the unit, electrical
insulations may deteriorate and cause electric shock.
8Do not block the air inlets nor outlets of the unit. It may cause insufficient performance
or troubles.
9Be sure to stop the operation and turn the circuit breaker off before performing any
maintenance or cleaning. A fan is rotating inside the unit and you may get injured.
10
Do not splash or pour water directly on the unit. Water can cause electrical shock or
equipment damage.
11
This appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without
supervision.
Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
CAUTIONS FOR LOCATION / INSTALLATION
•Make sure to connect the air conditioner to power supply of the rated voltage and
frequency.
Use of a power supply with improper voltage and frequency can result in equipment
damage and possible fire.
•Do not install the unit in a place where inflammable gas may leak. It may cause fire.
Install the unit in a place with minimal dust, fumes and moisture in the air.
•Arrangethedrainhosetoensuresmoothdrainage. Insufficientdrainagemaycausewetting
of the room, furniture etc.
•Make sure a leak breaker or a circuit breaker is installed, depending on the installation
location, to avoid electrical shock.

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.
D.B. = Dry-bulb W.B. = Wet-bulb
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.
E-3
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.

ADJUSTING THE AIR FLOW DIRECTION
VERTICAL AIR FLOW DIRECTION
The air flow direction is automatically preset in each mode as follows for optimum
comfort:
HOW TO ADJUST THE AIR FLOW DIRECTION
COOL and DRY modes HEAT mode
The adjustment range
is narrower the SWING
range in order to pre-
vent condensation from
dripping.
The range is wide so the
air flow can be directed
toward the floor.
Hold the horizontal adjustment
louvre as shown in the diagram
and adjust the air flow direction.
Press the SWING button on the
remote control once.
•The vertical adjustment louvre
will change its angle continu-
ously.
Press the SWING button again
when the vertical adjustment
louvre is at the desired position.
•The louvre will stop moving within
the range shown in the diagram.
•The adjusted position will be
memorized and will be automati-
cally set to the same position
when operated the next time.
Adjustment range
CAUTION
Never attempt to adjust the vertical adjustment louvres manually.
•Manual adjustment of the vertical adjustment louvre can cause the unit to malfunction
when the remote control is used for the adjustment.
•When the vertical adjustment louvre is positioned at the lowest position in the COOL or
DRY mode for an extended period of time, condensation may result.
Do not adjust the horizontal adjustment louvre extremely to the right or left when operating
the air conditioner with fan speed "SOFT" for an extended period of time.
Condensation may form on the louvres.
