Operating the system
12.2.1
About operating the system
▪ To protect the unit, turn on the main power switch 6 hours before
operation.
▪ If the main power supply is turned off during operation, operation
will restart automatically after the power turns back on again.
12.2.2
About cooling, heating, fan only, and
automatic operation
▪ The air flow rate may adjust itself depending on the room
temperature or the fan may stop immediately. This is not a
malfunction.
12.2.3
About the heating operation
It may take longer to reach the set temperature for general heating
operation than for cooling operation.
The following operation is performed in order to prevent the heating
capacity from dropping or cold air from blowing.
Defrost operation
In heating operation, freezing of the outdoor unit's air cooled coil
increases over time, restricting the energy transfer to the outdoor
unit's coil. Heating capability decreases and the system needs to go
into defrost operation to be able to remove frost from the outdoor
unit’s coil. During defrost operation the heating capacity on the
indoor unit side will temporarily drop until defrosting is completed.
After defrosting, the unit will regain its full heating capacity.
The indoor unit will stop fan operation, the refrigerant cycle will
reverse and energy from inside the building will be used to defrost
the outdoor unit coil.
The indoor unit will indicate defrost operation on the display
.
Hot start
In order to prevent cold air from blowing out of an indoor unit at the
start of heating operation, the indoor fan is automatically stopped.
The display of the user interface shows
. It may take some
time before the fan starts. This is not a malfunction.

Using the dry program
12.3.1
About the dry program
▪ The function of this program is to decrease the humidity in your
room with minimal temperature decrease (minimal room cooling).
▪ The micro computer automatically determines temperature and
fan speed (cannot be set by the user interface).
▪ The system does not go into operation if the room temperature is
low (<20°C).
12.3.2
To use the dry program
To start
1
Press the operation mode selector button on the user interface

(program dry operation).
2
Press the ON/OFF button of the user interface.

The operation lamp lights up and the system starts
operating.
To stop
3
Press the ON/OFF button on the user interface once again.
Result:
The operation lamp goes out and the system stops
operating.
NOTICE
Do not turn off power immediately after the unit stops, but
wait for at least 5 minutes.
12.4
Adjusting the air flow direction
Refer to the operation manual of the user interface.
12.4.1
About the air flow flap
Double flow+multi-flow units
For the following conditions, a micro computer controls the air flow
direction which may be different from the display.
Cooling
Heating
▪ When the room temperature is
lower
than
the
set
temperature.
▪ When starting operation.
▪ When the room temperature is
higher
than
the
set
temperature.
▪ At defrost operation.
▪ When operating continuously at horizontal air flow direction.
▪ When continuous operation with downward air flow is performed
at the time of cooling with a ceiling-suspended or a wall-mounted
unit, the micro computer may control the flow direction, and then
the user interface indication will also change.
The air flow direction can be adjusted in one of the following ways:
▪ The air flow flap itself adjusts its position.
▪ The air flow direction can be fixed by the user.
▪ Automatic
and desired position .
WARNING
Never touch the air outlet or the horizontal blades while the
swing flap is in operation. Fingers may become caught or
the unit may break down.
NOTICE
▪ The movable limit of the flap is changeable. Contact
your dealer for details. (only for double-flow, multi-flow,
corner, ceiling-suspended and wall-mounted).
▪ Avoid operating in the horizontal direction
. It may
cause dew or dust to settle on the ceiling or flap.
