WARNING Do not disassembly, reconstruct or repair. Electric shock or a fire may cause. Make sure that all wiring is secured, using the specified wirings and ensuring that external forces do not act on the terminal connections or wirings. Improper connections or fixing may cause an overheat or a fire. The choice of materials and installations must comply with the applicable national and international standards. CAUTION To avoid electric shock due to entry of water or insects, fill the wiring through hole with putty. Do not operate with wet hands to avoid electric shock. Do not wash the remote controller with water. It may result in electric shock or a fire. Install the air conditioner, power supply wiring, remote controller wiring and transmission wiring at least 1 meter away from televisions or radios to prevent image interference or noise. (Depending on the radio waves, a distance of 1 meter may not be sufficient to eliminate the noise.) Do not install the remote controller in the following locations: 1. W here there is oil mist, oil spray or vapour for example a kitchen. Resin parts may deteriorate and fall off. 2. W here corrosive gas, such as sulfurous acid gas, is produced. 3. W here there is machinery which emits electromagnetic waves. Electromagnetic waves may disturb the control system, and cause a malfunction of the equipment. 4. W here flammable gas may leak, where there is carbon fibre or ignitable dust suspensions in the air, or where volatile flammables such as thinner or gasoline are handled. Operating the unit in such conditions may result in a fire. 5. H igh temperature area or directly flamed point.
For the user WARNING Do not install the remote controller by yourself. Improper installation may result in electric shock or a fire. Consult your local dealer.

For the user 10. Basic operation 10.1 Cool/Heat/Auto/Fan operation Preparation • For mechanical protection purpose, turn on the power to the air conditioner at least 6 hours before starting the operation. Operation • Press the Mode Selector button ( ) several times until the desired mode (Cool, Heat, Fan or Auto) is selected. Unavailable operation modes are not displayed. Only the Cool or Fan mode can be selected if the air conditioner is a cooling only model. Basic screen Note: • The Cooling or Heating mode cannot be selected if the icon “...

[Airflow rate (Airflow level/Fan speed) setting] (lv.1) (lv.2) (lv.3) • To select the fan speed level, press the Fan Speed Control button ( For equipment protection purpose, the indoor (Auto) (lv.5) (lv.4) unit may control airflow rate automatically. According to the room temperature, the indoor unit may control airflow rate automatically. The fan may stop operating, which, however, is not a failure. It may take time until a change of the airflow rate is completed. In Auto setting, the airflow rate is adjusted automatically according to set temperature and room temperature. In Fan mode, the airflow rate setting is always at Lv.5.
Page 25
Characteristic of Cooling operation (in Cool/Auto mode) • When operating continuously at horizontally or downward airflow direction, air blows in the automatically set direction for a period of time to prevent condensation on the horizontal flap. (The remote controller displays the airflow direction that is set.) • If the Cooling operation is used when the room temperature is low, frost forms on the heat exchanger of the indoor unit. This can decrease the cooling capacity. In this case, the air conditioner automatically switches to the Defrost operation for a while. During the Defrost operation, the low airflow rate or a gentle wind is used to prevent the discharge of melt water. (The remote controller displays the airflow rate that is set.) • When the outdoor air temperature is high, it takes some time until the room temperature reaches the set temperature. Characteristic of Heating operation (in Heat/Auto mode) Starting operation • Heating operation generally requires a longer time to reach the set temperature compared with Cooling operation. It is recommended to start operating in advance by utilizing the timer.
10.2 Dry operation Preparation • For mechanical protection purpose, turn on the power to the air conditioner at least 6 hours before starting the operation. • Dry mode may not to be selected, if the remote controller has no eligibility to select Cooling/Heating mode (Refer to page 26 for details). Operation • Press the Mode Selector button ( ) several times until Dry mode is selected. Dry mode may not be available depending on ...
