Setting temperature
unit is not satisfactory, see page 7 for in-
structions on changing the mode setting
(COOL, DRY, FAN).
AUTO (* AUTO CHANGEOVER):
HEAT & COOL MODEL (Reverse cycle)
● When AUTO CHANGEOVER is selected, the air conditioner selects the appropri-
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 7 for
instructions on changing the mode setting (HEAT, COOL, DRY, FAN).
*Heating:
● Use to warm your room.
* 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 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.
● 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).
Cooling:
● 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.
Fan:
● Use to circulate the air throughout your room.

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.
SLEEP TIMER OPERATION

*During Heating operation:
During Cooling/Dry operation:
When the SLEEP timer is set, the thermostat setting is
automatically lowered 2 °F every thirty minutes. When the
thermostat has been lowered a total of 8 °F, the thermostat
setting at that time is maintained until the set time has elapsed,
at which time the air conditioner automatically turns off.
When the SLEEP timer is set, the thermostat setting is auto-
matically raised 2 °F every sixty minutes. When the thermo-
stat has been raised a total of 4 °F, the thermostat setting at
that time is maintained until the set time has elapsed, at which

Cleaning the Air Filter
3. Re-attach the air filters to the intake grille.
1. Pull the air filters upward to remove them.
Remove the air filters by raising its handle while pulling
it out towards you.
The air filters fit onto the inside of the intake grille.
● Dust can be cleaned from the air filter either with a vacuum
cleaner, or by washing the filter in a solution of mild de-
tergent and warm water. If you wash the filter, be sure to
allow it to dry thoroughly in a shady place before rein-
stalling.
Air filter
● 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 four weeks.
2. Clean the air filters.
Remove the dust from the air filters by vacuuming or
washing them. After washing, allow the air filters to dry
thoroughly in an area protected from sunlight.
● 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.
● If the unit will not be operated for a period of one month or more, be sure to allow the inner parts of the unit to dry
thoroughly, in advance, by operating the unit in fan mode for half a day.

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 elec-
trical 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 the electrical breaker to ensure that power is completely off.
WARNING!
Before requesting service, perform the following checks:
Symptom

Problem
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.
16
—

Odor:
● Occasionally an odor may be emitted from the indoor unit. This
may be the result of room odor (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.
16
—
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.
16
● The fan may operate at very low speed during Dry operation or
7

when the unit is monitoring the room’s temperature.
● In the monitor AUTO operation, the fan will operate at very low
speed.
Water is produced from
the outdoor unit:
*● During Heating operation, water may be produced by the out-
16
door unit due to Automatic Defrosting operation.

OPERATING TIPS
Instructions relating to heating (*) are applicable only to “HEAT & COOL MODEL” (Reverse Cycle).
Operation and Performance
*Heating Performance
*Microcomputer-controlled Automatic Defrosting
● This air conditioner operates on the heat-pump principle,
absorbing heat from outdoor air and transferring that heat
indoors. As a result, the operating performance is reduced
as outdoor air temperature drops. If you feel that insuffi-
cient heating performance is being produced, we recom-
mend you use this air conditioner in conjunction with
another kind of heating appliance.
● When using the Heating mode under conditions of low
outdoor temperature and high humidity, frost may form
on the outdoor unit, resulting in reduced operating per-
formance.
In order to minimize this kind of reduced performance,
this unit is equipped with a Microcomputer-controlled Au-
tomatic Defrosting function. If excessive frost forms, the
air conditioner will temporarily stop, and the defrosting
circuit will operate briefly (for about 4 to 15 minutes).
● Heat-pump air conditioners heat your entire room by
recirculating air throughout the room, with the result that
some time may be required after first starting the air con-
ditioner until the room is properly heated.
During Automatic Defrosting operation, the OPERATION
indicator light (red) will flash.
*When Indoor and Outdoor Temperature are High
Low Ambient Cooling
● When both indoor and outdoor temperatures are high
during use of the heating mode, the outdoor unit’s fan
may stop at times.
● When the outdoor temperature drops, the outdoor unit’s
one of the fans may stop intermittently.

OPERATING TIPS
AUTO Restart
In Event of Power Interruption
● Should the power supply to the air conditioner be inter-
rupted by a power failure, the air conditioner will restart
automatically in the previously selected mode once the
power is restored.
● Use of other electrical appliances (electric shaver, etc.) or
nearby use of a wireless radio transmitter may cause the
air conditioner to malfunction. In this event, temporarily
disconnect the power supply, reconnect it, and then use
the remote control unit to resume operation.
● Should a power failure occur during TIMER operation,
the timer will be reset and the unit will begin (or stop)
operating under the new timer setting. In this event, the
TIMER indicator light (green) will flash (see page 5).

● If the air conditioner is operated under higher temperature conditions than those listed, the built-in protection circuit may
operate to prevent internal circuit damage. Also, during Cooling and Dry modes, if the unit is used under conditions of
lower temperatures than those listed above, the heat-exchanger may freeze, leading to water leakage and other damage.
● The operation is not guaranteed under the condition where the fan blade is not lotating, or blocked by ice. If the temperature
is below 32 °F, the optional separate device may be required.
● Do not use this unit for any purposes other than the Cooling, (*)Heating, Dehumidifying, and air-circulation of rooms in
ordinary dwellings.
