COIL DRY OPERATION
The indoor unit’s Intake Grille can be removed for easy clean-
ing and maintenance.
The Indoor unit can be dried by pressing the COIL DRY but-
ton on the Remote Control Unit so as to avoid going moldy
and restrain the breed of bacterium.
MILDEW-RESISTANT FILTER
The AIR FILTER has been treated to resist mildew growth,
thus allowing cleaner use and easier care.
AUTO CHANGEOVER
The operation mode (cooling, dry, heating) is switched au-
tomatically to maintain the set temperature, and the tem-
perature is kept constant at all times.
SUPER QUIET OPERATION
When the FAN button is used to select QUIET, the indoor
unit begins super-quiet operation; the indoor unit’s airflow
is reduced to produce quieter operation.
MINIMUM HEAT OPERATION
The room temperature can be maintained at 50 °F so as to
prevent the room temperature from falling too far.
PROGRAM TIMER
The program timer allows you to integrate OFF timer and
ON timer operations in a single sequence. The sequence
can involve one transition from OFF timer to ON timer, or
from ON timer to OFF timer, within a twenty-four hour pe-
riod.
SLEEP TIMER
When the SLEEP button is pressed during Heating mode,
the indoor unit’s thermostat setting is gradually lowered
during the period of operation; during cooling mode, the
thermostat setting is gradually raised during the period of

About AUTO CHANGEOVER Operation
AUTO:
G When AUTO CHANGEOVER operation first selected, the fan will oper-
ate at very low speed for about one minute, during which time the
indoor unit detects the room conditions and selects the proper operation
mode.
If the difference between thermostat setting and actual room tempera-
ture is more than +4 °F → Cooling or dry operation
If the difference between thermostat setting and actual room tempera-
ture is within 4 °F → Monitor operation
If the difference between thermostat setting and actual room tempera-
ture is more than –4 °F → Heating operation
G When the indoor unit has adjusted your room’s temperature to near
the thermostat setting, it will begin monitor operation. In the monitor
operation mode, the fan will operate at low speed. If the room tem-
perature subsequently changes, the indoor unit will once again select
the appropriate operation (Heating, Cooling) to adjust the temperature
to the value set in the thermostat.
(The monitor operation range is 4 °F relative to the thermostat set-
ting.)
G If the mode automatically selected by the indoor unit is not what you
wish, select one of the mode operation (HEAT, COOL, DRY, FAN).
About Mode Operation
During Heating mode:
Set the thermostat to a temperature set-
ting that is higher than the present room
temperature. The Heating mode will not
operate if the thermostat is set lower than
the actual room temperature.
Heating: G Use to warm your room.
G When Heating mode is selected, the indoor unit will operate at very
low fan speed for about 3 to 5 minutes, after which it will switch to the
selected fan setting. This period of time is provided to allow the indoor
unit to warm up before begin full operation.
During Cooling/Dry mode:
G When the room temperature is very low, frost may form on the outdoor
unit, and its performance may be reduced. In order to remove such
frost, the air conditioner will automatically enter the defrost cycle from
time to time. During Automatic Defrosting operation, the OPERATION
Indicator Lamp (Fig. 3 a-5) will flash, and the heat operation will be
interrupted.
Set the thermostat to a temperature set-
ting that is lower than the present room
temperature. The Cooling and Dry modes

In the event of a malfunction (burning smell, etc.), immediately stop operation, turn off breaker,
and consult authorized service personnel.
WARNING!
Merely turning off the indoor unit’s power switch will not completely disconnect the unit from
the power source. Always be sure to disconnect the Power Supply Plug or turn off your circuit
breaker to ensure that power is completely off.
Before requesting service, perform the following checks:
Symptom

Problem
NORMAL
FUNCTION
Doesn’t operate immedi-
ately:
G If the indoor unit is stopped and then immediately started again,
the compressor will not operate for about 3 minutes, in order to
prevent fuse blowouts.
—
G
Whenever the Power Supply Plug is disconnected and then recon-
nected to a power outlet, the protection circuit will operate for about
3 minutes, preventing unit operation during that period.
Noise is heard:
G During operation or immediately after stopping the unit, the sound
of water flowing in the air conditioner’s piping may be heard.
Also, noise may be particularly noticeable for about 2 to 3 min-
utes after starting operation (sound of refrigerant flowing).
—
G During operation, a slight squeaking sound may be heard. This is
the result of minute expansion and contraction of the front panel
due to temperature changes.
G
During Heating operation, a sizzling sound may be heard occasional.
This sound is produced by the Automatic Defrosting operation.
15
Smells:
G Some smell may be emitted from the indoor unit. This smell is
the result of room smells (furniture, tobacco, etc.) which have
been taken into the indoor unit.
—
Mist or steam is
emitted:
G During Cooling or Dry operation, a thin mist may be seen emitted
from the indoor unit. This results from the sudden cooling of room
air by the cool air emitted from the indoor unit, resulting in con-
densation and misting.
—
G During Heating operation, the outdoor unit’s fan may stop, and
steam may be seen rising from the unit. This is due to Automatic
Defrosting operation.
15
Airflow is weak or stops:
G When Heating operation is started, fan speed is temporarily very
low, to allow internal parts to warm up.
G During Heating operation, if the room temperature rises above
the thermostat setting, the outdoor unit will stop, and the indoor
unit will operate at very low fan speed. If you wish to warm the
room further, set the thermostat for a higher setting.
—
G During Heating operation, the indoor unit will temporarily stop
operation (between 7 and 15 minutes) as the Automatic Defrost-
ing mode operates. During Automatic Defrosting operation, the
OPERATION Indicator Lamp will flash.
15
G The fan may operate at very low speed during Dry operation or
when the unit is monitoring the room’s temperature.

G During SUPER QUIET operation, the fan will operate at very low
speed.
G In the monitor of AUTO operation, the fan will operate at very
low speed.
Water is produced from
the outdoor unit:
G During Heating operation, water may be produced from the out-
door unit due to Automatic Defrosting operation.

G Is the Air Filter dirty?
G Air the air conditioner’s intake grille or outlet port blocked?
Poor Cooling performance:
G Did you adjust the room temperature settings (thermostat) cor-
rectly?
G Is there a window or door open?
—
G In the case of Cooling operation, is a window allowing bright sun-
light to enter? (Close the curtains.)
G In the case of Cooling operation, are there heating apparatus and
computers inside the room, or are there too many people in the
room?
G Is the unit set for SUPER QUIET operation?

The unit operates
differently from the Remote
Control Unit’s setting:
G Are the Remote Control Unit’s batteries dead?
G 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 OPERATION Indicator Lamp
(Fig. 3 a-5) and the TIMER Indicator Lamp (Fig. 3 a-6) flashes, immediately stop operation, disconnect the Power Supply
Plug, and consult authorized service personnel.
OPERATING TIPS
Operation and Performance
Microcomputer-controlled Automatic Defrosting
Heating Performance
G 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
air conditioner 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 7-15 min-
utes).
G This air conditioner operates on the heat-pump princi-
ple, absorbing heat from outdoor air and transferring that
heat to indoor unit. As a result, the operating perform-
ance is reduced as outdoor air temperature drops. If you
feel that insufficient heating performance is being
produced, we recommend you use this air conditioner in
conjunction with another kind of heating appliance.
G 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.
During Automatic Defrosting operation, the OPERATION
Indicator Lamp (green) will flash.
AUTO Restart
In Event of Power Interruption
G
If a power interruption occurs during TIMER operation, the
timer will be reset and the indoor 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. 4).
G The power supply to the air conditioner is stopped by a
power interruption. The air conditioner will then restart
automatically in its previous mode when the power is
restored.
G 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.

G If the air conditioner is used under higher temperature conditions than those listed, the built-in protection circuit may
operate to prevent internal circuit damage. Also, during Cooling and Dry modes, if the air conditioner is used under conditions
of lower temperature than those listed above, the heat-exchanger may freeze, leading to water leakage and other damage.
G Do not use this air conditioner for any purposes other than the Cooling, Heating, Dehumidifying, and air-circulation of
rooms in ordinary dwellings.
G If the air conditioner is used for many hours under high-humidity conditions about 80% or more, condensation may form on
the surface of the indoor unit, and drip onto the floor or other objects underneath. (About 80% or more)
