CAUTIONS ABOUT OPERATION
•Carefully read this manual before starting the air conditioner.
There are many important things to keep in mind for daily operation.
•Do not use this air conditioner for special purpose such as preserving food,
precision instruments, art objects, breeding animals, growing potted plants,
etc.
•Avoid exposing potted plants and animals to the wind of the air conditioner,
since it badly affects the health and growth of them.
•When the air conditioner is operated with a combustion appliance in the
same place, be careful of ventilation to let fresh air enter the room.
Poor ventilation causes oxygen shortage.
•Do not place any combustion appliance in a place where it is directly
exposed to the wind of air conditioner; otherwise it may cause imperfect
combustion.
•When the air conditioner is used in a closed room, be careful of sufficient
ventilation of the room. Poor ventilation causes oxygen shortage.
•Do not touch any switches with wet finger, otherwise you may get an
electric shock.
•If the air conditioner won’t be used for a considerably long time, turn off the
main switch or the circuit breaker, for safety.
•Check the concrete blocks, etc. of the base of the outdoor unit occasionally.
If the base is left damaged or deteriorated, the unit may topple over and
inflict an injury to a person as the worst case.
•Do not put anything on the outdoor unit or step onto it.
If you do so, it may not only topple over the unit but also injure yourself.
•To make the air conditioner operate in its original performance, operate it
within the range of the operating temperature specified in the instructions.
Otherwise it may cause a malfunction, or water leak from the unit.
•Prevent any liquid from falling into the remote controller.
Do not spill juice, water or any kind of liquid.

10 AIR CONDITIONER OPERATIONS AND
PERFORMANCE
3 minutes protection function
3-minutes protection function prevents the air conditioner from starting for initial 3 minutes after the main power
switch/circuit breaker is turned on for re-starting the air conditioner.
Power failure
Power failure during operation will stop the unit completely.
•To restart the operation, push the START/STOP button on the remote controller.
•Lightning or a wireless mobile telephone operating nearby may cause the unit to malfunction.
Turn off the main power switch or circuit breaker and then turn them on again.
Push the START/STOP button on the remote controller to restart.
Heating characteristics
Preheating operation
The air conditioner will not deliver warm air immediately after it is turned on.
Warm air will start to flow out after approximately 5 minutes when the indoor heat exchanger warmed up.
Warm air control (In heating operation)
When the room temperature reaches the set temperature, the fan speed is automatically reduced or stop to
prevent to blow cold draft. At this time, the outdoor unit will stop.
Defrosting operation
If the outdoor unit is frosted during the heating operation, defrosting starts automatically
(for approximately 2 to 10 minutes) to maintain the heating capacity.
•The fans in both indoor and outdoor units will stop during the defrosting operation.
•During the defrosting operation, the defrosted water will be drained from the bottom plate of the outdoor unit.
Heating capacity
In the heating operation, the heat is absorbed from the outside and brought into the room.
This way of heating is called heat pump system.
When the outside temperature is too low, it is recommended to use another heating apparatus in combination with
the air conditioner.
Attention to snowfall and freeze on the outdoor unit
•In snowy areas, the air inlet and air outlet of the outdoor unit are often covered with snow or frozen up.
If snow or freeze on the outdoor unit is left as it is, it may cause machine failure or poor warming.
•In cold areas, pay attention to the drain hose so that it perfectly drains water without water remaining inside for
freeze prevention.
If water freezes in the drain hose or inside the outdoor unit, it may cause machine failure or poor warming.
