FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS
HORIZONTAL AIRFLOW: COOLING/
DOWNWARD AIRFLOW: HEATING
INVERTER
At the start of operation, a large power is used to bring the
room quickly to the desired temperature. Afterwards, the
unit automatically switches to a low power setting for eco-
nomic and comfortable operation.
For cooling, use horizontal airflow so the cool air does not
blow directly on the occupants in the room. For heating,
use downward airflow to send powerful, warm air to the
floor and create a comfortable environment.
COIL DRY OPERATION
OMNI-DIRECTIONAL AIR FLOW
(SWING OPERATION)
The Indoor unit can be dried by pressing the COIL DRY but-
ton on the Remote Control Unit so as to avoid going moldy
and restrain the breed of bacterium.
Three-dimensional control over air direction swing is possi-
ble through dual use of both an UP/DOWN air direction swing
and RIGHT/LEFT air direction swing. Since UP/DOWN air
direction flaps operate automatically according to the oper-
ating mode of the unit, it is possible to set air direction based
on the operating mode.
AUTO CHANGEOVER
The operation mode (cooling, dry, heating) is switched au-
tomatically to maintain the set temperature, and the tem-
perature is kept constant at all times.
REMOVABLE OPEN PANEL
The indoor unit’s Open Panel can be removed for easy clean-
ing and maintenance.
MINIMUM HEAT OPERATION
The room temperature can be maintained at 50°F so as to
prevent the room temperature from falling too far.
MILDEW-RESISTANT FILTER
The AIR FILTER has been treated to resist mildew growth,
thus allowing cleaner use and easier care.
PROGRAM TIMER
The program timer allows you to integrate OFF timer and
ON timer operations in a single sequence. The sequence can
involve one transition from OFF timer to ON timer, or from
ON timer to OFF timer, within a twenty-four hour period.
SUPER QUIET OPERATION
When the FAN CONTROL button is used to select QUIET,
the unit begins super-quiet operation; the indoor unit’s air-
flow is reduced to produce quieter operation.
SLEEP TIMER
POLYPHENOL CATECHIN AIR CLEANING FILTER
When the SLEEP button is pressed during Heating mode,
the air conditioner’s thermostat setting is gradually lowered
during the period of operation; during cooling mode, the
thermostat setting is gradually raised during the period of
operation. When the set time is reached, the unit automati-
cally turns off.
The polyphenol catechin air cleaning filter uses static elec-
tricity to clean fine particles and dust in the air such as to-
bacco smoke and plant pollen that are too small to see.
The filter contains catechin, which is highly effective against
various bacteria by suppressing the growth of the bacteria
adsorbed to the filter.
Note that when the air cleaning filter is installed, the amount
of air produced decreases, causing a slight decrease in the
indoor unit’s performance.
WIRELESS REMOTE CONTROL UNIT
The Wireless Remote Control Unit allows convenient con-
trol of air conditioner operation.
NEGATIVE AIR IONS DEODORIZING FILTER
It comprises pottery super micro particles which can pro-
duce negative air ions having the effect of deodorizing and
can absorb and remit the peculiar smell at home.
WIRED REMOTE CONTROL UNIT (OPTION)
The optional wired remote control unit (model No.: UTY-RNBYU) can be used.
When you use remote control unit, there are following different points as compared with using wireless remote control unit.
[The additional functions for wired ones]
• Weekly timer
• Temperature set back timer
[The restricted functions for wired ones]
• ECONOMY
• MAINTENANCE
And you can use both wired and wireless remote control unit simultaneously.
(But function is limited)

ate at very low speed for about one minute, during which time the unit
detects the room conditions and selects the proper operating mode.
If the differance between thermostat setting and actual room tempera-
ture is more than +4 °F → Cooling or dry operation
If the difference between thermostat setting and actual room tempera-
ture is within 4 °F → Monitor operation
If the difference between thermostat setting and actual room tempera-
ture is more than –4 °F → Heating operation
ꢀ When the air conditioner has adjusted your room’s temperature to near
the thermostat setting, it will begin monitor operation. In the monitor
operation mode, the fan will operate at low speed. If the room tem-
perature subsequently changes, the air conditioner will once again
select the appropriate operation (Heating, Cooling) to adjust the tem-
perature to the value set in the thermostat.

ꢀ
Whenever the Power Supply Plug is disconnected and then re-
connected to a power outlet, the protection circuit will operate for
about 3 minutes, preventing unit operation during that period.
ꢀ During operation and immediately after stopping the unit, the
sound of water flowing in the air conditioner’s piping may be
heard. Also, noise may be particularly noticeable for about 2 to 3
minutes after starting operation (sound of coolant flowing).
ꢀ During operation, a slight squeaking sound may be heard. This is
the result of minute expansion and contraction of the front cover
due to temperature changes.
Noise is heard:

ꢀ
During Heating operation, a sizzling sound may be heard occasional.
This sound is produced by the Automatic Defrosting operation.

ꢀ Some smell may be emitted from the indoor unit. This smell is
the result of room smells (furniture, tobacco, etc.) which have
been taken into the air conditioner.
Smells:
—
ꢀ During Cooling or Dry operation, a thin mist may be seen emitted
from the indoor unit. This results from the sudden Cooling of
room air by the air emitted from the air conditioner, resulting in
condensation and misting.
Mist or steam are
emitted:
—
ꢀ During Heating operation, the outdoor unit’s fan may stop, and
steam may be seen rising from the unit. This is due to Automatic
Defrosting operation.

Airflow is weak or stops:
ꢀ When Heating operation is started, fan speed is temporarily very
low, to allow internal parts to warm up.
ꢀ During Heating operation, if the room temperature rises above
the thermostat setting, the outdoor unit will stop, and the indoor
unit will operate at very low fan speed. If you wish to warm the
room further, set the thermostat for a higher setting.

ꢀ During Heating operation, the unit will temporarily stop opera-
tion (between 7 and 15 minutes) as the Automatic Defrosting mode
operates. During Automatic Defrosting operation, the DEFROST
Indicator Lamp (yellow) will flash.

OPERATING TIPS
Operation and Performance
Microcomputer-controlled Automatic Defrosting
Heating Performance
ꢀ When using the Heating mode under conditions of low
outdoor temperature and high humidity, frost may form
on the outdoor unit, resulting in reduced operating per-
formance.
In order to prevent this kind of reduced performance, this
unit is equipped with a Microcomputer-controlled Auto-
matic Defrosting function. If frost forms, the air condi-
tioner will temporarily stop, and the defrosting circuit will
operate briefly (for about 7-15 minutes).
ꢀ This air conditioner operates on the heat-pump princi-
ple, absorbing heat from outdoor air and transferring that
heat indoors. As a result, the operating performance is
reduced as outdoor air temperature drops. If you feel that
insufficient heating performance is being produced, we
recommend you use this air conditioner in conjunction
with another kind of heating appliance.
ꢀ Heat-pump air conditioners heat your entire room by
recirculating air throughout the room, with the result that
some time may be required after first starting the air con-
ditioner until the room is heated.
During Automatic Defrosting operation, the DEFROST In-
dicator Lamp (yellow) will light.
AUTO Restart
In Event of Power Interruption
ꢀ
If a power failure occurs during TIMER operation, the timer
will be reset and the unit will begin (or stop) operation at the
new time setting. In the event that this kind of timer fault
occurs the TIMER Indicator Lamp will flash (see Page. 4).
ꢀ The air conditioner power has been interrupted by a
power failure. The air conditioner will then restart auto-
matically in its previous mode when the power is restored.
ꢀ Operated by setting before the power failure.
ꢀ Use of other electrical appliances (electric shaver, etc.) or
nearby use of a wireless radio transmitter may cause the
air conditioner to malfunction. In this event, temporarily
disconnect the Power Supply Plug, reconnect it, and then
use the Remote Control Unit to resume operation.

ꢀ If the air conditioner is used under higher temperature conditioner than those listed, the built-in protection circuit may
operate to prevent internal circuit damage. Also, during Cooling and Dry modes, if the unit is used under conditions of
lower temperature than those listed above, the heat-exchanger may freeze, leading to water leakage and other damage.
ꢀ Do not use this unit for any purposes other than the Cooling, Dehumidifying, and air-circulation of rooms in ordinary
dwellings.
ꢀ If the unit is used for long periods under high-humidity conditions, condensation may form on the surface of the indoor
unit, and drip onto the floor or other objects underneath. (About 80% or more).
ꢀ If the outdoor temperature is lower than the temperature scope in the list above, in order to keep safety operation of device,
the outdoor unit may stop operation for certain period of time.
