  • Clean the air fi lter when the indicator lamp shows the following:FUJITSU-ASTH24KNTA-Air-Conditioner-fig-38

After cleaning, reset the filter indicator by pushing on the indoor unit for 2 seconds or less. (Refer to page 3.)

GENERAL INFORMATION

Heating performance
This air conditioner operates on the heat-pump principle, absorbing heat from air outdoors and transferring that heat to the indoor unit. As a result, the operating performance is reduced as outdoor air temperature drops. If you feel that the heating performance is insufficient, we recommend you to use this air conditioner in conjunction with other kinds of heating appliances.

Automatic defrosting operation
When the outdoor temperature is very low with high humidity, frost may form on the outdoor unit during the heating operation, and it could reduce the operating performance of the product. For frost protection, an automatic defrost function is equipped in this air conditioner. If frost forms, the air conditioner will temporarily stop, and defrost circuit will operate briefl y (maximum of 15 minutes.) [ ] indicator on the indoor unit blinks during this operation. If frost forms on the outdoor unit after the Heating operation, the outdoor unit will stop automatically after it operates for a few minutes. Then the Automatic defrosting operation starts.

Auto-restart function
In the event of a power interruption such as a blackout, the air conditioner stops once. But it restarts automatically and performs previous operation when the power supply is resumed. If any power interruption occurs after the timer is set, counting down of the timer will be reset. After the power supply is resumed, [ ] indicator on the indoor unit blinks to notify you that there has been a timer fault. In such a case, reset the clock and timer settings.

Malfunctions caused by other electrical devices
Use of other electrical appliances such as an electric shaver or nearby use of a wireless radio transmitter may cause the malfunction of the air conditioner. If you encounter such a malfunction, turn off the circuit breaker once. Then turn it on again, and resume operation by using the remote controller.

Indoor unit temperature and humidity range
Permissible ranges of temperature and humidity are as follows:

Indoor temperature Cooling/Dry [°C] 18 to 32
Heating [°C] 16 to 30
Indoor humidity [%] 80 or less *1)
  1. If the air conditioner is used continuously for many hours, water may condense on the surface and drip.
    • If the unit is operated under the conditions except the permissible temperature range, the air conditioner operation may stop because of the automatic protection circuit working.
    • Depending on the operating conditions, the heat exchanger may freeze, causing water leakage or other malfunction (in the Cooling  or Dry mode).

Other information

  • Do not use the air conditioner for any purpose other than room cooling/dry, room heating or fan.
  • For the permissible ranges of temperature and humidity for the outdoor unit, refer to the outdoor unit installation manual.

OPTIONAL PARTS

Wired remote controller The optional wired remote controller can be used. You can use wired and wireless remote controllers together. However, some functions of the wireless remote controller are restricted. If you set the restricted functions, beeping sound will be heard, and [ l ], [ ], and [ ] indicators on the indoor unit will blink. <Restricted functions for wireless remote controller> When using together with wired remote controller (2-wire)

  • Powerful operation

Group control
One remote controller can control up to 16 air conditioners. All of the air conditioners will be operated with the same settings.

TROUBLESHOOTING

WARNING
In the following events, immediately stop the operation of the air conditioner, and disconnect all the power supply by turning off the electrical breaker or disconnecting the power plug. Then consult your dealer or authorizedservice personnel. As long as the unit is connected to the power supply, it is not insulated from the power supply even if the unit is turned off.

  • Have you just started the operation? In this case, the fan rotates at a very low speed temporarily to warm up the internal parts of the unit.
  • Is the room temperature higher than the set temperature? In this case, the outdoor unit stops and the indoor unit fan rotates at very low speed.
  • Is [ ] indicator blinking? In this case, the Automatic defrosting operation is working. The indoor unit stops for a maximum of 15 minutes. (Refer to page 8.)
  • The indoor unit operates at low fan speed to adjust the room humidity, and may stop from time to time.
  • While the monitoring operation, the fan rotates at a very low speed.

Noise is heard.

  • Is the unit operating, or immediately after stopping operation? In this case, a refrigerant-flowing sound may be heard. It may be particularly noticeable for 2-3 minutes after starting the operation.
  • Do you hear a slight squeaking sound during the operation? This sound is produced by the minute expansion and contraction of the front panel caused by temperature change.
  • Do you hear a sizzling sound? This sound is produced by the Automatic defrosting operation. (Refer to page 8.)

The smell coming from the unit.

  • The air conditioner may absorb various smells generated from interior textiles, furniture, or cigarette smoke. These smells may be emitted during the operation.

Mist or steam is emitted from the unit.
