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 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
beginning 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 lamp (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 at the same time.
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.

from the indoor unit. This results from the sudden Cooling of room
air by the air emitted from the air conditioner, resulting in con-
densation and misting.

OPERATING TIPS

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 prevent this kind of reduced performance, this
unit is equipped with a Microcomputer-controlled Auto-
matic Defrosting function. If frost forms, the air condi-
tioner will temporarily stop, and the defrosting circuit will
operate briefly (for about 7 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 heated.
During Automatic Defrosting operation, the OPERATION
indicator lamp (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
fans may switch to Low Speed.

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 plug, 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) oper-
ating under the new timer setting. In this event, the TIMER
indicator lamp (green) will flash (see page. 4).
Multi-type Air conditioner
This indoor unit can be connected to a multi-type outdoor unit. The multi-type air conditioner allows multiple indoor units to
be operated in multiple locations. The indoor units may be operated simultaneously, in accordance with their respective
output.
Simultaneous Use of Multiple Units
❖
Instructions relating to inverter ( ) are applicable only to “INVERTER MODEL”.
❖ ꢀ Operation can be done in the following different operat-
ꢀ When using a multi-type air conditioner, the multiple
indoor units can be operated simultaneously, but when
two or more indoor units of the same group are oper-
ated simultaneously, the heating and cooling efficiency
will be less than when a single indoor unit is used alone.
Accordingly, when you wish to use more than one in-
door unit for cooling at the same time, the use should
be concentrated at night and other times when less out-
put is required. In the same way, when multiple units
are used simultaneously for heating, it is recommended
that they be used in conjunction with other auxiliary
space heaters, as required.
ing modes.
Cooling mode and dry mode
Cooling mode and fan mode
Dry mode and fan mode
❖ ꢀ The operating mode (heating mode or cooling (dry)
mode) of the outdoor unit will be determined by the op-
erating mode of the indoor unit that was operated first.
If the indoor unit was started in fan mode, the operating
mode of the outdoor unit will not be determined.
For example, if indoor unit (A) was started in fan mode
and then indoor unit (B) was then operated in heating
mode, indoor unit (A) would temporarily start opera-
tion in fan mode but when indoor unit (B) started oper-
ating in heating mode, the OPERATION indicator lamp
(red) for indoor unit (A) would begin to flash (1 second
on, 1 second off) and it would go into standby mode.
Indoor unit (B) would continue to operate in heating
mode.
ꢀ Seasonal and outdoor temperature conditions, the struc-
ture of the rooms and the number of persons present
may also result in differences of operating efficiency.
We recommend that you try various operating patterns
in order to confirm the level of heating and cooling out-
put provided by your units, and use the units in the way
that best matches your family's lifestyle.
ꢀ If you discover that one or more units delivers a low
level of cooling or heating during simultaneous opera-
tion, we recommend that you stop simultaneous opera-
tion of the multiple units.
❖ ꢀ Operation cannot be done in the following different op-
erating modes.
If the indoor unit is instructed to do an operating mode
that it cannot perform, the OPERATION indicator lamp
(red) on the indoor unit will flash (1 second on, 1 sec-
ond off) and the unit will go into the standby mode.

OPERATING TIPS
Notice
Instructions relating to heating (*) are applicable only to “HEAT & COOL MODEL” (Reverse Cycle).
*ꢀ During use of the heating mode, the outdoor unit will
occasionally commence the defrost operation for brief
periods. During the defrosting operation, if the user sets
the indoor unit for heating again, the defrosting mode
will continue, and the heating operation will begin after
completion of defrosting, with the result that some time
may be required before warm air is emitted.
*ꢀ During use of the heating mode, the top of the indoor
unit may become warm, but this is due to the fact that
coolant is circulated through the indoor unit even when
it is stopped; it is not a malfunction.
