Description of “AUTO RESTART FUNCTION”
• These units are equipped with an auto restart function. When the main power is turned on, the air conditioner will start
operation automatically in the same mode as the one set with the remote controller before the shutoff of the main power.
• If the unit was set to off with the remote controller before the shutoff of the main power, it will remain stopped even after
the main power is turned on.
• If the unit was in the emergency operation before the shutoff of the main power, it will start operation, when main power
comes on, in the same mode as the one set with the remote controller before the emergency operation.
• If the unit is operated in “
AUTO” mode before power failure, the operation mode (COOL, DRY or HEAT) is not
stored in the memory. When the main power is turned on, the unit decides the operation mode by the initial room
temperature at restart and starts operation again.

Information for multi system air conditioner
Multi system air conditioner can connect two or more indoor units with one outdoor unit. According to the
capacity, two or more units can operate simultaneously.
PLASMA/WASH:
AREA:
Please refer to the page explaining each function.
• When you try to operate two or more indoor units with one outdoor unit simultaneously, one for the cooling and the
other for heating, the operation mode of the indoor unit that operates earlier is selected. The other indoor units that will
start the operation later cannot operate, indicating an operation state. (Refer to the table of Operation Indicator lamp
below.) In this case, please set all the indoor units to the same operation mode.
• When indoor unit starts the operation while the defrosting of outdoor unit is being done, it takes a few minutes (max.
10 minutes) to blow out the warm air.
• In the heating operation, the indoor unit that does not operate may get warm or the sound of refrigerant flowing may
be heard. This is not a malfunction since the refrigerant continuously flows into the indoor unit that does not operate.
