1PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFETY
WARNING
WARNINGS ABOUT INSTALLATION
• Make sure to ask the qualified installation professional in electric work to
install the air conditioner.
If the air conditioner is inappropriate installed by yourself, it may cause
water leak, electric shock, fire, and so on.
• Be sure to connect earth wire. (grounding work)
Incomplete grounding cause an electric shock.
Do not connect ground wires to gas pipes, water pipes, lightning rods or
ground wires for telephone wires.
• If you install the indoor unit in a small room, take appropriate measures to
prevent the refrigerant from exceeding the limit concentration even if it
leaks.
Consult the dealer from whom you purchased the air conditioner when you
implement the measures. Accumulation of highly-concentrated refrigerant
may cause an oxygen deficiency accident.
• Check whether the piping work has been properly completed.
When existing pipes are used and if they are not constructed properly, the
refrigerant gas may leak. Contact the installation company and confirm that
the piping work has been properly completed. For details of installation of
the air conditioner, refer to the Installation Manual. Use tools and piping
materials for R410 only. Failure to do so or improper installation may cause
a burst of pipe, resulting in injury.
WARNINGS ABOUT OPERATION
• Cleaning of the air filter and other parts of the air filter involves dangerous work in high places, so be sure to
have a service person do it. Do not attempt it yourself.
• Avoid cooling the room too strong or exposing the human body to cool breeze for a long time as it is bad
for the health.
• When you notice something abnormal with the air conditioner (smells like something scorching, poor
cooling, etc.), immediately turn off the main switch, the circuit breaker, from the mains to stop the air
conditioner, and contact the dealer.
If the air conditioner is continuously operated with something abnormal, it may cause machine failure,
electric shock, fire, and so on.
WARNINGS ABOUT REPAIR AND MOVEMENT
• When the air conditioner cannot cool or heat a room well, contact the dealer from whom you purchased the
air conditioner as refrigerant leakage is considered as the cause. In the case of repair that requires refill of
refrigerant, ask service personnel about details of the repair.
The refrigerant used in the air conditioner is harmless.
Generally, the refrigerant does not leak. However, if the refrigerant leaks in a room and a heater or stove
burner in the room catches fire, it may generate toxic gas.
When you ask service personnel for repairing refrigerant leakage, confirm that the leakage portion has
been completely repaired.
• Do not move or repair any unit by yourself.
Since there is high voltage inside the unit, you may get electric shock when removing the cover and main
unit.
• Whenever the air conditioner needs repair, make sure to ask the dealer to do it.
If it is repaired imperfectly, it may cause electric shock or fire.
• When moving the air conditioner for re-installing at another place, ask the dealer to do it. If it is imperfectly
installed, it may cause electric shock or fire.

CAUTION
TO DISCONNECT THE APPLIANCE FROM THE MAINS SUPPLY
• This appliance must be connected to the mains by means of a switch with a contact separation of at least
3 mm.
•The installation fuse 25A or 16A must be used for the power supply line of this air conditioner.
CAUTIONS ABOUT INSTALLATION (Be sure to confirm the following cautions.)
• Certainly lay the drain hose for perfect draining.
Bad drainage may cause flooding in the house and getting furniture wet.
• Make sure to connect the air conditioner to an exclusive power supply of the
rated voltage, otherwise the unit may break down or cause a fire.
• Do not install the unit in a place where inflammable gas may leak.
If inflammable gas accumulates around the unit, it may cause a fire.
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, car, vessel, etc.
• 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.
• Do not put anything on the outdoor unit nor 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.

8HINTS FOR ECONOMICAL OPERATION
Maintain room temperature at comfortable level
Clean air filters
The clogged air filter impairs the performance of the air conditioner.
Never open doors and windows more often than
necessary
To keep cool or warm air in the room, never open doors and
windows more often than necessary.
Window curtains
In cooling, close the curtains to avoid direct sunlight.
In heating, close the curtains to keep the heat in.
Get uniform circulation of room air
Adjust the air flow direction for the even circulation of room air.
Checks before operating
• Check whether the ground wires are properly connected.
• Check whether the air filters are installed.
• Turn on the leakage breaker at least 12 hours before operating.
Protective device
• The protective device stops operation when the air conditioner is
overloaded.

NOTE
• For environmental conservation, it is strongly recommended that the indoor and outdoor units of the
air conditioner in use be cleaned and maintained regularly to ensure efficient operation of the air
conditioner.
When the air conditioner is operated for a long time, periodic maintenance (once a year) is
recommended.
Furthermore, regularly check the outdoor unit for rust and scratches, and remove them or apply
rustproof treatment, if necessary.
As a general rule, when an indoor unit is operated for 8 hours or more daily, clean the indoor unit and
outdoor unit at least once every 3 months. Ask a professional for this cleaning/maintenance work.
Such maintenance can extend the life of the product though it involves the owner’s expense.
Failure to clean the indoor and outdoor units regularly will result in poor performance, freezing, water
leakage, and even compressor failure.
• This product incorporates a drain pump.
If it is used in a place full of dust or oil mist, the pump will be clogged and proper drainage is disabled.
Clean the drain pump periodically. For how to clean the drain pump, contact the dealer.

10AIR 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 car 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 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.
Air conditioner operating conditions
For proper performance, operate the air conditioner under the following temperature conditions:
If air conditioner is used outside of the above conditions, safety protection may work.
Cooling operation
Outdoor temperature : –15°C to 43°C
Room temperature : 21°C to 32°C (Dry valve temp.), 15°C to 24°C (Wet valve temp.)
[CAUTION] Room relative humidity – less than 80 %. If the air conditioner operates in
excess of this figure, the surface of the air conditioner may cause dewing.
Dry operation Outdoor temperature : 15°C to 43°C
Room temperature : 17°C to 32°C
Heating operation Outdoor temperature : –15°C to 15°C (Wet valve temp.)
