Operation Mechanism

Heating performance

• Since this air conditioner utilizes outside air for heating, its heating performance deteriorates as outside temperature decreases. (Due to heat pump system)
  • In that case, use another heating appliance.

Defrosting

• This appliance may start defrosting operation to melt frost formed in the outdoor unit.

  1. Defrosting starts: The indoor unit fan stops (or the speed becomes extremely slow).
     →” ” (STANDBY) appears.

  2. Heating operation resumes after several minutes: The indoor unit fan remains stopped (or it will run at a very slow speed) until the indoor heat exchanger coil warms up sufficiently.
     → ” ” (STANDBY) is shown.

  3. Defrosting is complete: The indoor unit fan starts operation.
     → ” ” (STANDBY) disappears.

DRY’’ operation

• Once the room temperature reaches the level that was set, the outdoor unit repeats the cycle of turning on and off automatically.

• When the outdoor unit is turned off, the indoor unit fan will stop, too.
  (To prevent the humidity in the room from rising again)

• When the room temperature is more likely to reach the level that was set, the fan speed is set to ‘‘breeze’’ (light wind) automatically.

• ‘‘DRY’’ operation is not possible if the outdoor temperature is 15 °C or less.

Should the power failure occurs while the unit is running

When the unit automatically resumes operation after temporary power failure, it uses the same settings before the power was cut off.

Maintenance

WARNING

• For safety, be sure to turn the air conditioner off and disconnect the power before cleaning. (Otherwise, electric shock or injury may result because the fan is rotating at high speed.)
• Do not pour water on the indoor unit.
  (This may damage the internal components and cause an electric shock hazard.)

CAUTION

• Never use solvents or harsh chemicals. Also, do not wipe plastic parts using very hot water.
  (This may cause deformation or change in colour.)

• Some metal edges and fins are sharp. Be careful when you clean those parts.
  (Injury may result.)

• Use a firm stool or ladder when cleaning an indoor unit installed in high locations.

• The internal coil and other components of the outdoor unit must be cleaned periodically.

  • Consult your dealer or service center.

Tips for Energy Saving

Avoid

• Do not block the air intake and outlet of the unit.
  (If either is obstructed, the unit will not function well, causing malfunction.)

• During cooling operation, use sunshades, blinds or curtains to prevent direct sunlight from entering the room.

Do

• Always keep the air filter clean.
  (A clogged filter will impair the performance of the unit.)
  → “Maintenance”

• To prevent conditioned air from escaping, keep windows, doors and any other openings closed.

Troubleshooting

Check before consulting or requesting services.

Indoor unit

Symptom| Cause / Action
Noise|

• Sound of refrigerant liquid fl owing inside unit.
• Sound of drainage water through drain pipe.
• Sound due to temperature changes of parts.

Sound like streaming water is heard during operation or after operation.
Cracking noise is heard during operation or when operation stops.
Discharged air smells during operation.|

• Indoor odor components, cigarette odor and cosmetic odor accumulated in the air conditioner and its air is discharged.
• The unit inside is dirty. (Contact your dealer.)

Dewdrops accumulate near the air outlet during cooling operation.| Internal moisture is cooled by cool wind and accumulates as dewdrops.
Fog occurs during cooling operation.| If the air conditioner has been installed at places such as restaurants where large amounts of oil mist exist, cleaning is necessary because the unit inside (heat exchanger) is dirty. (Contact your dealer.)
Fog occurs during heating operation.| Defrost operation is in process.
The fan is rotating for a while even though operation stops.|

• Fan rotation makes operation smooth.
• The fan may rotate to dry the heat exchanger depending on the setting.

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

Outdoor unit

No operation (When the power is turned on immediately / When operation is stopped and resumed immediately)| Operation is not activated for the first approx. 3 minutes because the compressor protection circuit is activated.
Noise occurs during heating operation.| Defrost operation is in process.
Steam comes out during heating operation.
The fan continues to rotate even after the operation is stopped using the remote controller.| This is for smooth operation.
