**Operation Details

**

Natural wind by the CHAOS logic
For more fresh feeling than other fan speed, press the Indoor Fan Speed Selector and set to CHAOS mode. In this mode, the wind blows like natural breeze by automatically changing fan speed according to the CHAOS logic.

Helpful information
Fan speed and cooling capacity. The cooling capacity indicated in the specification is the value when the fan speed is set to high, and the capacity will be lower at low or medium fan speed. High fan speed is recommended when you wish to cool the room quickly.

Care and maintenance

Care and maintenance of the air conditioner

CAUTION : Before performing any maintenance, turn off the main power to the system.

Indoor Unit

Grille, Case, and Remote Control
Turn the system off before cleaning. To clean, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use bleach or abrasives.

NOTE:
Supply power must be disconnected before deaning the indoor unit.

Never use any of the following:

• Would cause deformation and discoloration.
• Volatile substances
• Could damage the surfaces of the air conditioner.

Air Filters
The air filters behind the front grille should be checked and cleaned once every 2 weeks or more often if necessary.

• Lift the front access panel and pull the filter tab slightly forward to remove the filter.
• Clean the filter with a vacuum or warm, soapy water.
• If dirt is conspicuous, wash with a solution of detergent in lukewarm water.
• If hot water ( 40 “C or more) is used, it may be deformed.
• After washing with water, dry well in the shade .
• Re-install the air filter.

Outdoor Unit
The heat exchanger coils and panel vents of the outdoor unit should be checked regularly. If clogged with dirt or soot, the heat exchanger and panel vents may be professionally steam cleaned.

NOTE:
Dirty or dogged coils will reduce the operating efficiency of the system and cause higher operating mels.

When the air conditioner is not going to be used for a long time.

1. Operate the air conditioner on Air circulation mode (Reter to page 16) for 2 to 3 hours.
   • This will dry out the internal mechanisms.
2. Turn off the circuit breaker, and disconnect the plug.
   • Turn off the circuit breaker when the air conditioner is not going to be used for a long time. Dirt may collect and may cause a fire.
3. Remove the batteries from the remote control.

When the air conditioner is to be used again.

1. Clean the air filter and install it in the indoor unit. (Refer to page 19 for cleaning filters.)
2. Check that the air inlet and outlet of the indoor/outdoor unit are not blocked.

Helpful information
The air filters are your electric bill. If the air filters become clogged with dust, the cooling capacity will drop, and 6% of the electricity used to operate the air conditioner will be wasted.

• This is not good for the health and wastes electricity.
• Do not let direct sunshine enter the room when the air conditioner is in operation.
• Adjust the vertical and horizontal airflow direction to ensure a uniform temperature in the room.
• Avoid opening doors and windows as much as possible to keep the cool air in the  room.
• Blockages in the air filter reduce the airflow and lower cooling and dehumidifying effects. Clean at least once every two weeks.
• Since windows are kept closed, it is a good idea to open them and ventilate the room now and then.

Troubleshooting Tips

Before you call for service…

Troubleshooting Tips! Save time and money!
Check the following points before requesting repairs or service….. If the fault persists, please contact your dealer or service center.

• Have you made a mistake in timer operation?
• Has the fuse blown or has the circuit breaker been tripped?
• Check that this is not a damp smell exuded by the walls, carpet, furniture, or cloth items in the room.
• Condensation occurs when the airflow from the air conditioner cools the warm room air.
• This is the protector of the mechanism.
• Wait about three minutes and operation will begin.
• Is the air filter dirty?
  • See air filter cleaning instructions. (Refer to page 19)
• Has the temperature been set incorrectly?
• Are the indoor unit’s air inlet or outlet vents obstructed?
• For a noise that sounds like water flowing.
  • This is the sound of freon flowing inside the air conditioner unit.
• For a noise that sounds like compressed air releasing into the atmosphere.
  • This is the sound ofthe dehumidifying water being processed inside the air conditioning unit.
• Are the batteries depleted?
• Are the batteries inserted in the opposite (+) and (-) directions?
• This sound is generated by the expansion/constriction of the front panel, etc. due to changes of temperature.

NOTE
WATER-RESISTANT:
The outdoor side of this appliance is WATER RESISTANT. The indoor side is not water resistant and should not be exposed to excess water.
