Items to check
●
Is the Power Supply Plug disconnected its outlet?
●
Has there been a power failure?
●
Has a fuse blown out, or a circuit breaker been tripped?
●
Is the main POWER Switch set to the OFF position?
●
Is the timer operating?
●
Is the air filter dirty?
●
Air the air conditioner’s intake grille or outlet port blocked?
●
Did you adjust the room temperature settings (thermostat) cor-
rectly?
●
Is there a window or door open?
●
In the case of Cooling operation, is a window allowing bright sun-
light to enter? (Close the curtains.)
●
In the case of Cooling operation, are there heating apparatus and
computers inside the room, or are there too many people in the
room?
●
Is the unit set for SUPER QUIET operation?
●
Are the Remote Control Unit’s batteries dead?
●
Are the Remote Control Unit’s batteries loaded properly?
If the problem persists after performing these checks, or if you notice burning smells, or the TIMER indicator Lamp (Fig. 3
7
)
flashes, immediately stop operation, disconnect the Power Supply Plug (Fig. 1
E
), and consult authorized service personnel.
OPERATING TIPS
●
The air conditioner power has been interrupted by a
power failure. The air conditioner will then restart auto-
matically in its previous mode when the power is restored.
●
Operated by setting before the power failure. Then, the
Air Flow Direction Louvers will automatically 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 will flash (see Page. 3).
●
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
disconnect the Power Supply Plug, reconnect it, and then
use the Remote Control Unit to resume operation.
AUTO Restart
In Event of Power Interruption
Heating Performance
●
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 insuffi-
cient heating performance is being produced, we recom-
mend you use this air conditioner in conjunction 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 con-
ditioner until the room is heated.
Microcomputer-controlled Automatic Defrosting
●
When using the Heating mode under conditions of low
outdoor temperature and high humidity, frost may form
on the outdoor unit, resulting in reduced operating per-
formance.
In order to prevent this kind of reduced performance, this
unit is equipped with a Microcomputer-controlled Auto-
matic Defrosting function. If frost forms, the air condi-
tioner will temporarily stop, and the defrosting circuit will
operate briefly (for about 7-15 minutes).
During Automatic Defrosting operation, the OPERATION
indicator lamp (red) will flash.
