WIRELESS REMOTE CONTROL UNIT
The WIRELESS REMOTE CONTROL UNIT allows convenient
control of air conditioner operation.
OMNI-DIRECTIONAL AIR FLOW
(SWING OPERATION)
Three-dimensional control over air direction swing is possi-
ble through dual use of both an UP/DOWN air direction swing
and RIGHT/LEFT air direction swing. Since UP/DOWN air
direction flaps operate automatically according to the oper-
ating mode of the unit, it is possible to set air direction based
on the operating mode.

ate operation mode (Cooling or Heating) according to your room’s present tem-
perature.
● When AUTO CHANGEOVER is first selected, the fan will operate at very low speed
for about one minute while the unit determines the current conditions of the
room and accordingly selects the proper operation mode.
● When the air conditioner has adjusted your room’s temperature to near the ther-
mostat setting, it will begin monitor operation. In the monitor operation mode,
the fan will operate at low speed. If the room temperature subsequently changes,
the air conditioner will once again select the appropriate operation (Heating, Cool-
ing) to adjust the temperature to the value set in the thermostat. (The monitor
operation range is 4 °F relative to the thermostat setting.)
● If the mode automatically selected by the unit is not satisfactory, see page 6 for
instructions on changing the mode setting (HEAT, COOL, DRY, FAN).
*Heating:
● Use to warm your room.
● When Heating mode is selected, the air conditioner will operate at very low fan
speed for about 3 to 5 minutes, after which it will switch to the selected fan set-
ting. This period of time is provided to allow the indoor unit to warm up before
begin full operation.
* During Heating mode:
Set the thermostat to a temperature set-
ting that is higher than the current room
temperature. The Heating mode will not
operate if the thermostat is set lower than
the actual room temperature.
● When the room temperature is very low, frost may form on the outside unit, and
its performance may be reduced. In order to remove such frost, the unit will
automatically enter the defrost cycle from time to time. During Automatic De-
frosting operation, the OPERATION indicator light (red) will flash, and the heat
operation will be interrupted.
During Cooling/Dry mode:
Set the thermostat to a temperature set-
ting that is lower than the current room
temperature. The Cooling and Dry modes
will not operate if the thermostat is set
higher than the actual room temperature
(in Cooling mode, the fan alone will oper-
ate).

● Use to cool your room.
During Fan mode:
The heat and cool functions of this unit
cannot operate in the Fan mode.
Dry:
● Use for gently cooling while dehumidifying your room.
● You cannot heat the room during Dry mode.
● During Dry mode, the unit will operate at low speed; in order to adjust room
humidity, the indoor unit’s fan may stop from time to time. Also, the fan may
operate at very low speed when detecting room humidity.
● The fan speed cannot be changed manually when Dry mode has been selected.

TIMER OPERATION
About the PROGRAM timer
About the ON timer
● The PROGRAM timer allows you to integrate OFF timer
and ON timer operations in a single sequence. The se-
quence can involve one transition from OFF timer to ON
timer, or from ON timer to OFF timer, within a twenty-
four hour period.
● The timer function is designed to bring your room to a
comfortable temperature by the set time; as a result, the
unit automatically begins operation before the set time
so that the room reaches the desired temperature by the
time set on the timer.
● The first timer function to operate will be the one set near-
est to the current time. The order of operation is indi-
cated by the arrow in the remote control unit’s display
(OFF → ON, or OFF ← ON).
● The hotter it is in summer, or the colder it is in winter, the
earlier that operation will begin.
* During Heating Operation ....... from 45 to 10 minutes be-
fore set time.
● One example of PROGRAM timer use might be to have
the air conditioner automatically stop (OFF timer) after
you go to sleep, then start (ON timer) automatically in
the morning before you rise.
During Cooling/Dry Operation ... from 20 to 10 minutes be-
fore set time.
During Fan Operation .............. at the set time.

● If dirt is allowed to accumulate on the air filter, air flow
will be reduced, lowering operating efficiency and increas-
ing noise.
● During periods of normal use, the air filters should be
cleaned every two weeks.
When using the optional Air Cleaning Filter
● Install the optional air cleaning filter set as instructed (installation instructions are furnished with the air cleaning filter set).
● When used for extended periods, the unit may accumulate dirt inside, reducing its performance. We recommend that the
unit be inspected regularly, in addition to your own cleaning and care. For more information, consult authorized service
personnel.
● When cleaning the unit’s body, do not use water hotter than 100 °F, harsh abrasive cleansers, or volatile agents like
benzene or thinner.
● Do not expose the unit body to liquid insecticides or hairsprays.
● When shutting down the unit for one month or more, first allow the fan mode to operate continuously for about one-half
day to allow internal parts to dry thoroughly.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Instructions relating to heating (*) are applicable only to “HEAT & COOL MODEL” (Reverse Cycle).
In the event of a malfunction (burning smell, etc.), immediately stop operation, turn off the cir-
cuit breaker, and consult authorized service personnel.
Merely turning off the unit’s power switch will not completely disconnect the unit from the power
source. Always be sure to turn off your circuit breaker to ensure that power is completely off.
WARNING!
Before requesting service, perform the following checks:
Symptom
Problem
See Page
NORMAL
FUNCTION
Doesn’t operate immedi-
ately:
● If the unit is stopped and then immediately started again, the com-
pressor will not operate for about 3 minutes, in order to prevent
fuse blowouts.
—
● Whenever the power switch is turned off then on again, the pro-
tection circuit will operate for about 3 minutes, preventing unit
operation during that period.
Noise is heard:
● During operation and immediately after stopping the unit, the
sound of water flowing in the air conditioner’s piping may be
heard. Also, noise may be particularly noticeable for about 2 to 3
minutes after starting operation (sound of coolant flowing).
—
● During operation, a slight squeaking sound may be heard. This is
the result of minute expansion and contraction of the front cover
due to temperature changes.
*● During Heating operation, a swoosh sound may be heard occa-
sionally. This sound is produced by the Automatic Defrosting op-
eration.
15
—
Odor:
● Occasionally an odor may be emitted from the indoor unit. This
may be the result of room odors (furniture, tobacco, etc.) which
have been taken into the air conditioner.
Mist or steam are
emitted:
● During Cooling or Dry operation, a thin mist may be seen emitted
from the indoor unit. This results from the sudden Cooling of
room air by the air emitted from the air conditioner, resulting in
condensation and misting.
—
*● During Heating operation, the outdoor unit’s fan may stop, and
steam may be seen rising from the unit. This is due to Automatic
Defrosting operation.
15
Airflow is weak or stops:
*● When Heating operation is started, fan speed is temporarily very
low, to allow internal parts to warm up.
*● During Heating operation, if the room temperature rises above
the thermostat setting, the outdoor unit will stop, and the indoor
unit will operate at very low fan speed. If you wish to warm the
room further, set the thermostat for a higher setting.
—
*● During Heating operation, the unit will temporarily stop opera-
tion (between 7 and 15 minutes) as the Automatic Defrosting mode
operates. During Automatic Defrosting operation, the OPERATION
indicator light will flash.
15
● The fan may operate at very low speed during Dry operation or
when the unit is monitoring the room’s temperature.

Water is produced from
the outdoor unit:
*● During Heating operation, water may be produced by the out-
