Econo operation
This is a function which enables efficient operation by limiting the
maximum power consumption value. This function is useful for cases
in which attention should be paid to ensure a circuit breaker will not
trip when the product runs alongside other appliances.
INFORMATION
▪ Powerful and Econo operation CANNOT be used at the
same time. The last selected function takes priority.
▪ Econo operation reduces power consumption of the
outdoor unit by limiting the rotation speed of the
compressor. If power consumption is already low,
Econo operation will NOT further reduce power
consumption.

Energy saving and optimum
operation
INFORMATION
▪ Even if the unit is turned OFF, it consumes electricity.
▪ When the power turns back on after a power break, the
previously selected mode will be resumed.
CAUTION
NEVER expose little children, plants or animals directly to
the airflow.
WARNING
Do NOT place objects below the indoor and/or outdoor unit
that may get wet. Otherwise condensation on the unit or
refrigerant pipes, air filter dirt or drain blockage may cause
dripping, and objects under the unit may get dirty or
damaged.
WARNING
Do NOT place a flammable spray bottle near the air
conditioner and do NOT use sprays near the unit. Doing so
may result in a fire.
CAUTION
Do NOT operate the system when using a room
fumigation-type insecticide. Chemicals could collect in the
unit, and endanger the health of people who are
hypersensitive to chemicals.
Observe the following precautions to ensure the system operates
properly.
▪ Prevent direct sunlight from entering a room during cooling
operation by using curtains or blinds.
▪ Make sure the area is well ventilated. Do NOT block any
ventilation openings.
▪ Ventilate often. Extended use requires special attention to
ventilation.
▪ Keep doors and windows closed. If the doors and windows remain
open, air will flow out of your room causing a decrease in the
cooling or heating effect.
▪ Be careful NOT to cool or heat too much. To save energy, keep
the temperature setting at a moderate level.
