• Are you sure that there are no obstacles near
the air outlet of the outdoor unit?
Such obstacles may result in declined perfor-
mance and increased running noises.
• If abnormal noises occur in use, stop the
operation of the air conditioner, consult your
local dealer.
Regarding drainage of drain piping
• Is the drain piping carried out properly to
ensure complete drainage?
If drain piping is not carried out properly, dirt and
debris may be accumulated in the drain piping
and cause water leakage. If it occurs, stop the air
conditioner and consult with your local dealer for
assistance.
•
Operating procedure varies with heat pump type
and cooling only type. Contact your local dealer to
confirm your system type.
•
To protect the air conditioner, turn on the main
power switch 6 hours before operation.
•
Do not shut off the power supply during seasonal
use of the air conditioner.
This is required in order to activate the air condi-
tioner smoothly.

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE COOLING
OPERATION (COOLING OPERATION AND
AUTOMATIC COOLING OPERATION)
•
If the COOLING OPERATION is used when the
indoor temperature is low, frost adheres to the
heat exchanger of the indoor unit.
This can decrease the cooling capacity.
In this case, the air conditioner automatically
switches to the DEFROST OPERATION for a
while.
5. OPERATION PROCEDURE
6. OPERATION CHARACTERIS-
TICS
During the DEFROST OPERATION, the low fan
speed or a gentle wind is used to prevent the dis-
charge of melt water.
(The remote controller displays the fan speed that
is set.)
•
When the outdoor temperature is high, it takes
some time until the indoor temperature reaches
the set temperature.
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE HEATING
OPERATION (HEATING OPERATION AND
AUTOMATIC HEATING OPERATION)
START OF OPERATION
•
It generally takes a longer time for indoor temper-
ature of the HEATING OPERATION to reach the
set temperature compared to the COOLING
OPERATION.
It is advisable to start operation in advance using
the TIMER OPERATION.
Perform the following operation to prevent heat-
ing capacity decrease and discharge of cool air.
AT THE START OF OPERATION AND AFTER
THE DEFROST OPERATION
•
A warm air circulating system is employed, and
therefore it takes some time until the entire room
is warmed up after the start of operation.
•
The indoor fan runs to discharge a gentle wind
automatically until the temperature inside the air
conditioner reaches a certain level. At this time,
the remote controller displays “
”. Leave it as
it stands and wait for a while.
(The remote controller displays the fan speed that
is set.)
•
The airflow direction becomes horizontal to pre-
vent a draft of cool air to the inhabitants. (The
remote controller displays the set airflow direction
that is set.)
DEFROST OPERATION
(Frost removal operation for the outdoor
unit)
•
As the frost on the coil of an outdoor unit increase,
heating effect decreases and the air conditioner
goes into the DEFROST OPERATION.
•
The indoor unit fan stops and the remote control-
ler display shows “

With the wireless remote controller, the warm air
stops, and the DEFROST OPERATION lamp on
the light receiving unit turn on.
