Caution:
• When the air conditioner is used together with burners, thoroughly
ventilate the area. Insufficient ventilation can result in accidents due to
oxygen deficiency.
• Never place a burner at a place where it is exposed to the airflow from
the air conditioner.
Doing so can result in imperfect combustion of the burner.
• The microcomputer functions in the following cases:
• Air does not blow out when heating starts.
- To prevent any cool air from escaping, the indoor fan is gradually switched
in sequence from faint airflow/weak airflow/set airflow according to the
temperature rise of the blown out air. Wait a moment until the airflow
comes out naturally.
• The fan is not moving at the set speed.
- In some models, the system switches over to faint airflow when the tem-
perature of the room reaches the set temperature. In other cases, it stops
to prevent any cool air from escaping during the defrosting operation.
• Air flows out even if operation is stopped.
- Approximately 1 minute after the stop of operation, the indoor fan some-
times rotates to eliminate extra heat generated by the electric heater, etc.
The fan speed changes to low or high.
• Heating can be used only by indoor warming-up.
