Cleaning And Care; Temperature And Humidity Range - Fujitsu AIRSTAGE ASYA18GACH Operating Manual

Microcomputer-controlled automatic defrosting
● When using the Heating mode under conditions of low outdoor air
temperature high humidity, frost may form on the outdoor unit, result-
ing in reduced operating performance. In order to prevent this kind of
reduced performance, this unit is equipped with a Microcomputer-con-
trolled automatic defrosting function. If frost forms, the air conditioner
will temporarily stop, and the defrosting circuit will operate briefl y (for
about 4 to 15 minutes).
During Automatic Defrosting operation, the OPERATION indicator
lamp (green) will fl ash.
Oil recovery operation
● Periodically, the oil recovery operation is performed in order to return
compressor oil to the outdoor unit.
During oil recovery operation, the OPERATION indicator lamp (green)
will fl ash (for about 10 minutes).

● 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 temperature than those listed above,
the heat-exchanger may freeze, leading to water leakage and other
damage.
● If the unit is used for long periods under high-humidity conditions,
condensation may form on the surface of the indoor unit, and drip onto
the fl oor or other objects underneath.
● Do not use this unit for any purposes other than the Cooling, Heating,
Dehumidifying, and air-circulation of rooms in ordinary dwellings.

or by washing the fi lter in a solution of mild detergent and warm water.
If you wash the fi lter, be sure to allow it to dry thoroughly in a shady
place before reinstalling.
● If dirt is allowed to accumulate on the air fi lter, airfl ow will be reduced,
lowering operating effi ciency and increasing noise.
● During periods of normal use, the Air Filters should be cleaned every
two weeks.
● 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.
