ŶBefore the cooling season
Ask a qualified service person to clean the drain
pan
CAUTION
Clean the drain pan
Without cleaning, the drain pan may be filled with
waste, and water may overflow onto the ceiling or floor.
If you do not plan to use the unit for more
than 1 month
(1) Operate “Fan” mode.
Run the fan for about half a
day to dry the inside fully.
(2) Stop the air conditioner.
(3) Turn off the main power
switch.
(R410A refrigerant model)
Turn on the main power
switch.
(R32 refrigerant model)
Checks before operation
(1) Check that the air filters are installed.
(2) Check that the air discharge or intake is not
blocked.
(3) Turn on the main power switch.
ŶCleaning the indoor unit and
remote control
Ask qualified service person to clean the indoor units
for the models listed in the warning on the top of this
chapter.
Wipe with a dry, soft cloth.
Do not use acidic or alkaline detergents.
If heavily stained, wipe off dirt with a cloth soaked in
lukewarm water.
(Do not use water to wipe the remote control)
Do not use benzine, thinner, scouring powder,
chemical cloth, etc. as those may cause deformation
or breakage.
ŶIf unused for over a month
Leave the fan on for half a day or so to dry the inside.
Turn off the main power switch.
Clean the air filter and then attach it.
Turn on the power again.
(In case of R32 refrigerant model)
ŶPeriodic inspection
After being used for a long period of time, the parts
may deteriorate or malfunction, or the drainage
may worsen, due to heat, moisture, dust, or general
usage.
In addition to the maintenance, it is recommended
that you have a inspection (charges apply) performed
by the dealer where you purchased the unit, etc.
CAUTION
Perform high-pressure cleaning for the heat
exchanger.
If commercially available detergent (strong alkaline
or acid cleaning agent) is used, the surface treatment
of the heat exchanger will deteriorate, which may
degrade the self cleaning performance. For details,
contact our sales department or the dealer where
you purchased the unit.
