CHECK
ONCE  MORE

Doesn’t operate at all :

• Is the Power Supply Plug disconnected  from  its outlet?
• Has there been a power failure?
• Has a fuse blown out, or a circuit breaker been  tripped?

Poor Cooling (or Heating)
performance :

• Is the air filter dirty?
• Are the air conditioner’s intake grille or outlet port blocked?
• Did you adjust the room temperature settings (thermostat)

correctly?

• Is there a window or door open?
• In the case of Cooling operation, is a window allowing

bright sunlight to enter? (Close the curtains.)

• In the case of Cooling operation, are there heating appara-

tus 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 :

• Are the Remote Control Unit’s batteries dead?
• Are the Remote control Unit’s batteries loaded  properly?

• Is the timer operating?

• Is the POWER switch set to the OFF position?

• Is the unit set for SUPER QUIET operation?

TROUBLESHOOTING

If the problem persists after performing these checks, or if you notice burning smells,  or the TIMER Indicator
Lamp (Fig. 3, 

y

) flashes, immediately stop operation, disconnect the Power Supply Plug (Fig. 1 

!3

) and consult

authorized service personnel.

About the SLEEP Timer

• 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 insufficient
heating performance is being produced, we rec-
ommend you use this air conditioner in conjunc-
tion 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 conditioner until the room is heated.

Microcomputer-controlled Automatic Defrosting

• When using the Heating mode under conditions

of low outdoor air temperature and high humidity,
frost may form on the outdoor unit, resulting in
reduced operating performance.

In order to prevent this kind of reduced perfor-
mance, 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).

During Automatic Defrosting operation, the
OPERATION indicator lamp (red) will flash.

In Event of Power Interruption

Auto Restart

• The air conditioner power has been interrupted

by a power failure. The air conditioner will then
restart automatically in its previous mode when
the power is restored.

• Operated by settings before the power failure.

Then, the Air Flow Direction Louvers will auto-
matically change to their standard direction.

• 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 59). 

• Use of other electrical appliances (electric

shaver, etc.) or nearby use of a wireless radio
transmitter may cause the air conditioner to mal-
function. In this event, temporarily disconnect the
Power Supply Plug, reconnect it, and then use
the Remote Control Unit to resume operation.
