SPECIAL REMARKS

‘‘DRY’’ Operation

How it works

• Once the room temperature reaches the level that was set, the unit repeats the cycle of turning on and off automatically.
• In order to prevent the humidity in the room from rising again, the indoor fan also turns off whenthe unit stops operating.
• The fan speed is set to ‘‘LO.’’ automatically, and cannot be adjusted.
• ‘‘DRY’’ operation is not possible if the outdoor temperature is 59°F or less.

Heating Operation
Heating performance

• Because this appliance heats a room by utilizing the heat of the outside air (heat pump system), the heating efficiency will fall off when the outdoor temperature is very low. If sufficient heat cannot be obtained with this heat pump, use another heating appliance in conjunction with this unit.

Defrosting

• When the outdoor temperature is low, frost or ice may form on the outdoor heat exchanger coil, reducing the heating performance. When this happens, a microcomputer-controlled defrosting system operates. At the same time, the fan on the indoor unit stops (or runs at very low speed in some cases) and the ‘‘STANDBY’’ indicator appears on the display until defrosting is completed. Heating operation then restarts after several minutes. (This interval will vary slightly depending upon the outdoor temperature and the way in which frost forms.)

(standby) on the display

• For several minutes after the start of heating operation, the indoor fan will not start running (or it will run at very low speed in some cases) until the indoor heat exchanger coil has warmed up sufficiently. This is because a cold draft prevention system is operating. During this period, the ‘‘ ’’ (standby) indicator remains displayed.
• (standby) remains displayed during defrosting or when the compressor has been turned off (or when the unit is running at very low speed) by the thermostat when the system is in the heating mode.
• Upon completion of defrosting and when the compressor is turned on again, ‘‘ ’’ (standby) will turn off automatically as heating operation resumes.

NOTE

Should the power fail while the unit is running
If the power supply for this unit is temporarily cut off, the unit will automatically resume operation (once the power is restored) using the same settings before the power was cut off.

CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING

1. For safety, be sure to turn the air conditioner off and also to disconnect the power before cleaning.
   

2. Do not pour water on the indoor unit to clean it. This will damage the internal components and cause an electric shock hazard.

Air Intake and outlet side (Indoor Unit)

Clean the air intake and outlet side of the indoor unit with a vacuum cleaner brush, or wipe them with a clean soft cloth.
If these parts are stained, use a clean cloth moistened with a mild liquid detergent. When cleaning the air outlet side, be careful not to force the vanes out of place.
CAUTION

1. Never use solvents or harsh chemicals when cleaning the indoor unit. Do not wipe plastic parts using very hot water.
   

2. Some metal edges and the fins are sharp and may cause injury if handled improperly; be especially careful when you clean these parts.
   

3. The internal coil and other components of the outdoor unit must be cleaned every year. Consult your dealer or service center.

Air filter
(Field supplied)
The air filter collects dust and other particles from the air and should be cleaned at regular intervals as indicated in the table below. If the filter gets blocked, the efficiency of the air conditioner drops greatly.

WARNING

* Low Silhouette Ducted (F2)
An air filter is not provided with this air conditioner at the time of shipment. To get clean air and to extend the service life of the air conditioner, an air filter must be installed in the air intake.
For installation and cleaning the air filter, consult your dealer or service center.
NOTE
The frequency with which the filter should be cleaned depends on the environment in which the unit is used.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If your air conditioner does not work properly, first check the following points before requesting service. If it still does not work properly, contact your dealer or a service center.

INDOOR UNIT

• Sound of refrigerant liquid flowing inside unit

•        Sound of drainage water through drain pipe

Cracking noise during operation or when operation stops.| Cracking sound due to temperature changes of parts
Odor| Discharged air is smelled during operation.| Indoor odor components, cigarette odor and cosmetic odor accumulated in the air conditioner and its air is discharged.Unit inside is dusty. Consult your dealer.
Dewdrop| Dewdrop gets accumulated near air discharge during operation| Indoor moisture is cooled by cool wind and accumulated by dewdrop.
Fog| Fog occurs during operation in cooling mode.(Places where large amounts of oil mist exist at restaurants.)|

• Cleaning is necessary because unit inside (heat exchanger) is dirty. Consult your dealer as technical engineering is required.
• During defrost operation

Fan is rotating for a while even though operation stops.|

• Fan rotating makes operation smoothly.
• Fan may sometimes rotates because of drying heat exchanger due to settings.

Dust| Dust accumulation inside indoor unit is discharged.
At the initial high-speed operation, the fan may sometimes rotate faster (for 3 to 30 minutes) than the setting speed.| This is for operation check in order to confirm whether the fan motor rotation is within use range.

OUTDOOR UNIT

for the first approx. 3 minutes because compressor protection circuit is activated.

If your air conditioner still does not work properly although you checked the points as described above, first stop the operation and turn off the power switch. Then contact your dealer and report the serial number and symptom. Never repair your air conditioner by yourself since it is very dangerous for you to do so. You also report if the inspection mark ****and the letters E, F, H, L, P in combination with the numbers appear on the LCD of the remote controller.

TIPS FOR ENERGY SAVING

Avoid

• Do not block the air intake and outlet of the unit. If either is obstructed, the unit will not work well, and may be damaged.
• Do not let direct sunlight into the room. Use sunshades, blinds or curtains. If the walls and ceiling of the room are warmed by the sun, it will take longer to cool the room.

Do

• Always try to keep the air filter clean. (Refer to “CARE AND CLEANING”.) A clogged filter will impair the performance of the unit.
• To prevent conditioned air from escaping, keep windows, doors and any other openings closed.

NOTE
