temperature.
G When AUTO CHANGEOVER operation first selected, the fan will operate at very
low speed for about one minute, during which time the unit detects the room
conditions and selects the proper operating mode.
G When the air conditioner has adjusted your room’s temperature to near the ther-
mostat setting, it will begin monitor operation. In the monitor operation mode,
the fan will operate at low speed. If the room temperature subsequently changes,
the air conditioner will once again select the appropriate operation (Heating, Cool-
ing) to adjust the temperature to the value set in the thermostat. (The monitor
operation range is 4 °F relative to the thermostat setting.)
G If the mode automatically selected by the unit is not what you wish, see page 6
and select one of the mode operation (HEAT, COOL, DRY, FAN).
*Heating:
G Use to warm your room.
G When Heating mode is selected, the air conditioner will operate at very low fan
speed for about 3 to 5 minutes, after which it will switch to the selected fan set-
ting. This period of time is provided to allow the indoor unit to warm up before
beginning full operation.
* During Heating mode:
Set the thermostat to a temperature set-
ting that is higher than the current room
temperature. The Heating mode will not
operate if the thermostat is set lower than
the actual room temperature.
G When the room temperature is very low, frost may form on the outside unit, and
its performance may be reduced. In order to remove such frost, the unit will
automatically enter the defrost cycle from time to time. During Automatic De-
frosting operation, the OPERATION indicator lamp (red) will flash, and the heat
operation will be interrupted.
During Cooling/Dry mode:
Set the thermostat to a temperature set-
ting that is lower than the current room
temperature. The Cooling and Dry modes
will not operate if the thermostat is set
higher than the actual room temperature
(in Cooling mode, the fan alone will oper-
ate).
Cooling:
G Use to cool your room.
During Fan mode:
You can not use the unit to heat and cool
your room.
Dry:
G Use for gently cooling while dehumidifying your room.

trical breaker or disconnect the power supply plug, and consult authorized service personnel.
Merely turning off the unit’s power switch will not completely disconnect the unit from the power
source. Always be sure to turn off the electrical breaker or disconnect the power supply plug to
ensure that power is completely off.
Before requesting service, perform the following checks:
Symptom
Problem

NORMAL
FUNCTION
Doesn’t operate immedi-
ately:
G If the unit is stopped and then immediately started again, the com-
pressor will not operate for about 3 minutes, in order to prevent
fuse blowouts.
—
G Whenever the electrical breaker is turned off then on again or the
power supply plug is disconnected and then reconnected, the pro-
tection circuit will operate for about 3 minutes, preventing unit
operation during that period.
Noise is heard:
G 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).
—
G 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.
*G During Heating operation, a sizzling sound may be heard occa-
sionally. This sound is produced by the Automatic Defrosting op-
eration.
15
Smells:
G 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.
—
Mist or steam are
emitted:
G 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.
—
*G During Heating operation, the outdoor unit’s fan may stop, and
steam may be seen rising from the unit. This is due to the Auto-
matic Defrosting operation.
15
Airflow is weak or stops:
*G When Heating operation is started, fan speed is temporarily very
low, to allow internal parts to warm up.
*G 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 to a higher setting.
—
*G During Heating operation, the unit will temporarily stop opera-
tion (between 7 and 15 minutes) as the Automatic Defrosting mode
operates. During the Automatic Defrosting operation, the OPERA-
TION indicator lamp will flash.
15
G The fan may operate at very low speed during Dry operation or
when the unit is monitoring the room’s temperature.
6

G In the monitor AUTO operation, the fan will operate at very low
speed.
Water is produced from
the outdoor unit:
*G During Heating operation, water may be produced from the out-
15
door unit due to the Automatic Defrosting operation.

G Is the air filter dirty?
G Are the air conditioner’s intake filter or outlet port blocked?
G Did you adjust the room temperature settings (thermostat) cor-
rectly?
G Is there a window or door open?
—
G In the case of Cooling operation, is a window allowing bright sun-
light to enter? (Close the curtains.)
G In the case of Cooling operation, are there heating apparatus and
computers inside the room, or are there too many people in the
room?
The unit operates
differently from the
remote control unit’s
setting:
G Are the remote control unit’s batteries dead?
G Are the remote control unit’s batteries loaded properly?

If the problem persists after performing these checks, or if you notice burning smells, or the TIMER indicator lamp (Fig. 3 6)
flashes, immediately stop operation, disconnect the power supply, and consult authorized service personnel.
OPERATING TIPS
Operation and Performance
*Heating Performance
*Microcomputer-controlled Automatic Defrosting
G This air conditioner operates on the heat-pump principle,
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 insuffi-
cient heating performance is being produced, we recom-
mend you use this air conditioner in conjunction with
another kind of heating appliance.
When using the Heating mode under conditions of low out-
door air temperature high humidity, frost may form on the
outdoor unit, resulting in reduced operating performance.
In order to prevent this kind of reduced performance, this
unit is equipped with a Microcomputer-controlled Automatic
Defrosting function. If frost forms, the air conditioner will
temporarily stop, and the defrosting circuit will operate
briefly (for about 7 to 15 minutes).
G 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 OPERATION
indicator lamp (red) will flash.
*When Indoor and Outdoor Temperatures are High
*Low Ambient Cooling
When both indoor and outdoor temperatures are high dur-
ing use of the heating mode, the outdoor unit’s fan may stop
at times.
When the outdoor temperature drops, the outdoor unit’s fans
may switch to Low Speed.

AUTO Restart
In Event of Power Interruption
G Should the power supply to the air conditioner be inter-
rupted by a power failure, the air conditioner will restart
automatically in the previously selected mode once the
power is restored.
G 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, reconnect it, and then use
the remote control unit to resume operation.
G Should a power failure occur during TIMER operation,
the timer will be reset and the unit will begin (or stop)
operating under the new timer setting. In this event, the
TIMER indicator lamp (yellow) will flash (see page 4).
