OPERATING TIPS

Instructions relating to heating (*) are applicable only to "HEAT & COOL MODEL" (Reverse Cycle).

Operation and Performance

*Heating Performance
● 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.
● 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.
*When Indoor and Outdoor Temperatures are High
When both indoor and outdoor temperatures are high dur-
ing use of the heating mode, the outdoor unit's fan may stop
at times.

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.
● 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 lamp (green) will flash (see page 4).
Symptom
● Has there been a power failure?
● Has a fuse blown out, or a circuit breaker been tripped?
● Is the timer operating?
● Is the air filter dirty?
● Are the air conditioner's intake grille or outlet port blocked?
● Did you adjust the room temperature settings (thermostat) cor-
rectly?
● Is there a window or door open?
● In the case of Cooling operation, is a window allowing bright sun-
light to enter? (Close the curtains.)
● In the case of Cooling operation, are there heating apparatus and
computers inside the room, or are there too many people in the
room?
● Are the remote control unit's batteries dead?
● Are the remote control unit's batteries loaded properly?
Items to check
*Microcomputer-controlled Automatic Defrosting
When using the Heating mode under conditions of low out-
door air temperature high humidity, frost may form on the
outdoor unit, resulting in reduced operating performance.
In order to prevent this kind of reduced performance, this
unit is equipped with a Microcomputer-controlled Automatic
Defrosting function. If frost forms, the air conditioner will
temporarily stop, and the defrosting circuit will operate
briefly (for about 7 to 15 minutes).
During Automatic Defrosting operation, the OPERATION
indicator lamp (red) will flash.
Low Ambient Cooling
When the outdoor temperature drops, the outdoor unit's fans
may switch to Low Speed.
● 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.
