These units are equipped with an auto restart function. When the main power is turned on, the air conditioner will start  
operation automatically in the same mode as the one set with the remote controller before the shutoff of the main  
power.  
About 2°C or more  
If the unit was set to off with the remote controller before the shutoff of the main power, it will remain stopped even after  
the main power is turned on.  
This shows that the room temperature is approaching the  
target temperature.  
About 2°C or less  
If the unit was in the emergency operation before the shutoff of the main power, it will start operation, when main power  
comes on, in the same mode as the one set with the remote controller before the emergency operation.  
If the unit is operated in I FEEL...before power failure, the operation mode (COOL, DRY or HEAT) is not stored in the  
memory. When the main power is turned on, the unit decides the operation mode by the initial room temperature at  
restart and starts operation again.

Information for multi system air conditioner (Outdoor unit: MXZ series)  
(SWING) →  
Multi system air conditioner (Outdoor unit: MXZ series) can connect two or more indoor units with one outdoor  
unit. According to the capacity, two or more units can operate simultaneously.  
SWING OPERATION  
Use the swing operation for the air flow to reach all corners of the room.  
When you try to operate two or more indoor units with one outdoor unit simultaneously, one for the cooling and the other  
for heating, the operation mode of the indoor unit that operates earlier is selected. The other indoor units that will start the  
operation later cannot operate, indicating an operation state. (Refer to the table of Operation Indicator lamp on page 6.)  
In this case, please set all the indoor units to the same operation mode.  
NOTE:  
Horizontal AIR FLOW blowing range  
Adjust the horizontal AIR FLOW direction using the re-  
mote controller. If the VERTICAL VANE is moved manu-  
ally, it may cause trouble.  
When indoor unit starts the operation while the defrosting of outdoor unit is being done, it takes a few minutes (max. 10  
minutes) to blow out the warm air.  
In the heating operation, the indoor unit that does not operate may get warm or the sound of refrigerant flowing may be  
COOL/DRY  
heard. This is not a malfunction since the refrigerant continuously flows into the indoor unit that does not operate.

INSTALLATION, RELOCATION AND INSPECTION  
CAUTION:  
Earth the unit.  
The installation location of the outdoor unit should be at least  
Installation place  
Avoid installing the air conditioner in the following places.  
3 m away from the antennas for TV sets, radios, etc. In areas  
where the reception is weak, provide greater space between  
the outdoor unit and the antenna of the affected device if op-  
eration of the air conditioner interferes with radio or TV recep-  
tion.  
Do not connect the earth to a gas pipe, water pipe, lightning rod or the earth of a telephone. If the earthing is  
incorrect, it may cause an electric shock.  
Install an earth leakage breaker depending on the place where the air conditioner is to be installed (humid places,  
etc.).  
Where flammable gas could leak.

WARNING:  
If the air conditioner operates but does not cool or heat (depending on model) the room, consult your dealer since  
there may be a refrigerant leak. Be sure to ask the service representative whether there is refrigerant leakage or not  
when repairs are carried out.  
The refrigerant charged in the air conditioner is safe. Refrigerant normally does not leak, however, if refrigerant gas  
leaks indoors, and comes into contact with the fire of a fan heater, space heater, stove, etc., harmful substances will  
be generated.  
Operating sound considerations  
Do not put an object around the air outlet of the outdoor unit. This may lower the capacity or increase the volume of the  
operating sound.  
If an abnormal sound is heard during operation, consult your dealer.  
Relocation  
Electrical work  
When the air conditioner is to be removed or re-installed because of rebuilding, moving, etc., special techniques and  
work are required.  
Provide an exclusive circuit for the power supply of the air conditioner.  
Be sure to observe the breaker capacity.
