OPERATION  
Instructions relating to heating (*) are applicable only to “HEAT & COOL MODEL” (Reverse Cycle).  
When set to AUTO:  
* Heating : Fan operates so as to optimally circulate warmed air.  
However, the fan will operate at very low speed when the temperature  
of the air issued from the indoor unit is low.  
Cooling : As the room temperature approaches that of the thermostat setting,  
the fan speed becomes slower.  
* Fan: HEAT & COOL MODEL (REVERSE CYCLE)  
The fan alternately turns on and off; when on, the fan runs at the low  
fan speed.  
The fan will operate at very low setting during Monitor operation and  
at the start of the Heating mode.  
Fan: COOLING MODEL  
The fan will operate at the optimum speed in accordance with the  
room temperature in the vicinity of the indoor unit.  
Example: When set to AUTO  
When set to QUIET:  
SUPER QUIET operation begins. The indoor unit’s airflow will be reduced for qui-  
eter operation.  
SUPER QUIET operation cannot be used during Dry mode. (The same is true  
when dry mode is selected during AUTO mode operation.)  
During Super Quiet operation, *(Heating and) Cooling performance will be re-  
duced somewhat.  
To Stop Operation  
Press the START/STOP button.  
The OPERATION indicator lamp (red) (Fig. 3 5) will go out.  
Example: When set to QUIET  
About Mode Operation  
*AUTO (AUTO CHANGEOVER): HEAT & COOL MODEL (REVERSE CYCLE)  
When AUTO CHANGEOVER operation is selected, the air conditioner selects the  
appropriate operation mode (Cooling or Heating) in response to your rooms  
temperature.  
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.  
When the air conditioner has adjusted your rooms 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 2 °C relative to the thermostat setting.)  
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).

AUTO: COOLING MODEL  
Depending on the room temperature at the time operation begins, the operating  
mode will be switched automatically as shown in the accompanying table.  
Also, depending on the operating mode, the room temperature setting will cause  
the “standard” temperature to be set as shown.

The operating mode and standard thermostat settings are selected automatically  
when operation begins.  
When automatic operation is initiated, the fan will run at very low speed for about  
one minute while the unit detects and selects the proper operating mode.  
Once the operating mode has been set, the mode will not change even if the  
room temperature changes.  
If the START/STOP button is pressed to recommence operation within two hours  
after stopping automatic operation, the unit will begin operating from the same  
mode as before.  
*Heating:  
Use to warm your room.  
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.  
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:  
Use to cool your room.  
*During Fan mode:  
HEAT & COOL MODEL (REVERSE CYCLE)  
You can not use the unit to heat and cool  
your room.  
Dry:  
Use for gently cooling while dehumidifying your room.  
You cannot heat the room during Dry mode.  
During Fan mode: COOLING MODEL  
Fan operation begins when room tem-  
perature in the vicinity of the air condi-  
tioner rises above the set thermostat  
temperature; when the temperature  
drops, fan operation stops.  
During Dry mode, the unit will operate at low speed; in order to adjust room  
humidity, the indoor unit’s fan may stop from time to time. Also, the fan may  
operate at very low speed when detecting room humidity.  
The fan speed cannot be changed manually when Dry mode has been selected.  
If the air emitted feels too cool, raise  
the thermostat setting.  
Fan:  
Use to circulate the air throughout your room.

In the event of a malfunction (burning smell, etc.), immediately stop operation, disconnect the  
WARNING!  
Power Supply Plug or turn off the circuit breaker, and consult authorized service personnel.  
Merely turning off the units power switch will not completely disconnect the unit from the power  
source. Always be sure to turn off your circuit breaker to ensure that power is completely off.  
Before requesting service, perform the following checks:  
Symptom  
Problem  
See page  
NORMAL  
FUNCTION  
Doesn’t operate immedi-  
ately:  
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.  
Whenever the power supply plug is disconnected and then recon-  
nected to a power outlet, the protection circuit will operate for about  
3 minutes, preventing unit operation during that period.  
Noise is heard:  
During operation and immediately after stopping the unit, the  
sound of water flowing in the air conditioners 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.  
*During Heating operation, a sizzling sound may be heard occa-  
sionally.This sound is produced by the Automatic Defrosting op-  
eration.  
17  
Smells:  
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:  
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.  
*During Heating operation, the outdoor units fan may stop, and  
steam may be seen rising from the unit. This is due to the Auto-  
matic Defrosting operation.  
17  
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 to 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 the Automatic Defrosting operation, the OPERA-  
TION indicator lamp will flash.

OPERATING TIPS  
Instructions relating to heating (*) are applicable only to “HEAT & COOL MODEL” (Reverse Cycle).  
Operation and Performance  
*Heating Performance  
*Microcomputer-controlled Automatic Defrosting  
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.  
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.  
When using the Heating mode under conditions of low  
outdoor air temperature 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 to 15 minutes).  
During Automatic Defrosting operation, the OPERATION  
indicator lamp (red) will flash slowly.  
*When Indoor and Outdoor Temperatures are High  
When both indoor and outdoor temperatures are high dur-  
ing use of the heating mode, the outdoor units fan may stop  
at times.  
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 (green) 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.

OPERATING TIPS  
Multi-type Air conditioner  
This indoor unit can be connected to a multi-type outdoor unit. The multi-type air conditioner allows multiple indoor units to  
be operated in multiple locations. The indoor units may be operated simultaneously, in accordance with their respective  
output.  
Simultaneous Use of Multiple Units  
Instructions relating to inverter ( ) are applicable only to “INVERTER MODEL”.  
Operation can be done in the following different operat-  
When using a multi-type air conditioner, the multiple  
indoor units can be operated simultaneously, but when  
two or more indoor units of the same group are oper-  
ated simultaneously, the heating and cooling efficiency  
will be less than when a single indoor unit is used alone.  
Accordingly, when you wish to use more than one in-  
door unit for cooling at the same time, the use should  
be concentrated at night and other times when less out-  
put is required. In the same way, when multiple units  
are used simultaneously for heating, it is recommended  
that they be used in conjunction with other auxiliary  
space heaters, as required.  
ing modes.  
Cooling mode and dry mode  
Cooling mode and fan mode  
Dry mode and fan mode  
The operating mode (heating mode or cooling (dry)  
mode) of the outdoor unit will be determined by the op-  
erating mode of the indoor unit that was operated first.  
If the indoor unit was started in fan mode, the operating  
mode of the outdoor unit will not be determined.  
For example, if indoor unit (A) was started in fan mode  
and then indoor unit (B) was then operated in heating  
mode, indoor unit (A) would temporarily start opera-  
tion in fan mode but when indoor unit (B) started oper-  
ating in heating mode, the OPERATION indicator lamp  
(red) for indoor unit (A) would begin to flash (1 second  
on, 1 second off) and it would go into standby mode.  
Indoor unit (B) would continue to operate in heating  
mode.  
Seasonal and outdoor temperature conditions, the struc-  
ture of the rooms and the number of persons present  
may also result in differences of operating efficiency.  
We recommend that you try various operating patterns  
in order to confirm the level of heating and cooling out-  
put provided by your units, and use the units in the way  
that best matches your family's lifestyle.  
If you discover that one or more units delivers a low  
level of cooling or heating during simultaneous opera-  
tion, we recommend that you stop simultaneous opera-  
tion of the multiple units.  
Operation cannot be done in the following different op-  
erating modes.  
If the indoor unit is instructed to do an operating mode  
that it cannot perform, the OPERATION indicator lamp  
(red) on the indoor unit will flash (1 second on, 1 sec-  
ond off) and the unit will go into the standby mode.

Notice  
Instructions relating to heating (*) are applicable only to “HEAT & COOL MODEL” (Reverse Cycle).  
*During use of the heating mode, the outdoor unit will  
occasionally commence the defrost operation for brief  
periods. During the defrosting operation, if the user sets  
the indoor unit for heating again, the defrosting mode  
will continue, and the heating operation will begin after  
completion of defrosting, with the result that some time  
may be required before warm air is emitted.  
*During use of the heating mode, the top of the indoor  
unit may become warm, but this is due to the fact that  
coolant is circulated through the indoor unit even when  
it is stopped; it is not a malfunction.
