When using the Heating mode under conditions of low out-
door temperature and high humidity, frost may form on the
outdoor unit, resulting in reduced operating performance.
In order to prevent this kind of reduced performance, 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 brief-
ly (for about 4 to 15 minutes).
During Automatic Defrosting operation, the OPERATION
indicator lamp will ash.
●
After heating operation stops, if frost forms on the outdoor
unit, the unit will start Automatic Defrosting operation. At this
time, the outdoor unit will automatically stop after operating
for a few minutes.

When the outdoor temperature drops, the outdoor unit’s
fans may switch to Low Speed, or one of the fans may stop
intermittently.

●
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 insuf cient
heating performance is being produced, we recommend
you use this air conditioner in conjunction with another type
of heating appliance.
●
Heat-pump air conditioners heat your entire room by recir-
culating air throughout the room, with the result that some
time may be required after rst starting the air conditioner
until the room is heated.

●
When both indoor and outdoor temperatures are high dur-
ing use of the heating mode, the outdoor unit’s fan may stop
at times.
●
Should the power supply to the air conditioner be inter-
rupted by a power failure, the air conditioner will restart au-
tomatically in the previously selected mode once the power
is restored.
●
Should a power failure occur during TIMER operation, the
timer will be reset and the unit will begin (or stop) operating
under the new timer setting. In this event, the TIMER indi-
cator lamp will ash.
●
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 discon-
nect the power supply plug, reconnect it, and then use the
remote controller to resume operation.
