‘‘DRY’’ Operation How it works

• Once the room temperature reaches the level that was set, the unit repeats the cycle of turning on and off automatically.

• In order to prevent the humidity in the room from rising again, the indoor fan also turns off when the unit stops operating. • The fan speed is set to ‘‘LO.’’ automatically, and cannot be adjusted. • ‘‘DRY’’ operation is not possible if the outdoor temperature is 15 °C or less.

• Because this appliance heats a room by utilizing the heat of the outside air (heat pump system), the heating efficiency will fall off when the outdoor temperature is very low. If sufficient heat cannot be obtained with this heat pump, use another heating appliance in conjunction with this unit.

• When the outdoor temperature is low, frost or ice may form on the outdoor heat exchanger coil, reducing the heating performance. When this happens, a microcomputer-controlled defrosting system operates. At the same time, the fan on the indoor unit stops (or runs at very low speed in some cases) and the ‘‘STANDBY’’ indicator appears on the display until defrosting is completed.

Heating operation then restarts after several minutes. (This interval will vary slightly depending upon the outdoor temperature and the way in which frost forms.)

• For several minutes after the start of heating operation, the indoor fan will not start running (or it will run at very low speed in some cases) until the indoor heat exchanger coil has warmed up sufficiently. This is because a cold draft prevention system is operating. During this period, the

‘‘ ’’ (standby) indicator remains displayed. • ‘‘ ’’ (standby) remains displayed during defrosting or when the compressor has been turned off (or when the unit is running at very low speed) by the thermostat when the system is in the heating mode. • Upon completion of defrosting and when the compressor is turned on again, ‘‘ ’’ (standby) will turn off automatically as heating operation resumes. Should the power fail while the unit is running If the power supply for this unit is temporarily cut off, the unit will automatically resume operation (once the power is restored) using the same settings before the power was cut off.

CARE AND CLEANING WARNING Air intake and outlet side

1. For safety, be sure to turn the air conditioner off and also to disconnect the power before cleaning.

2. Do not pour water on the indoor unit to clean it. This will damage the internal components and cause an electric shock hazard. Clean the air intake and outlet side of the indoor unit with a vacuum cleaner brush, or wipe them with a clean, soft cloth. If these parts are stained, use a clean cloth moistened with water. When cleaning the air outlet side, be careful not to force the vanes out of place. 1. Never use solvents or harsh chemicals when cleaning the indoor unit. Do not wipe plastic parts using very hot water. 2. Some metal edges and the fins are sharp and may cause injury if handled improperly; be especially careful when you clean these parts. 3. The internal coil and other components of the outdoor unit must be cleaned periodically. Consult your dealer or service center.

Too many people in room in cooling mode.

Reduce temperature settings or change to “High” or “Strong”.

If your air conditioner still does not work properly although you checked the points as described above, first stop the operation and turn off the power switch. Then contact your dealer and report the serial number and symptom. Never repair your air conditioner and the letters E, F, H, L, P in by yourself since it is very dangerous for you to do so. You also report if the inspection mark combination with the numbers appear on the LCD of the remote control unit.

TIPS FOR ENERGY SAVING Avoid

• Do not block the air intake and outlet of the unit. If either is obstructed, the unit will not work well, and may be damaged. • Do not let direct sunlight into the room. Use sunshades, blinds or curtains. If the walls and ceiling of the room are warmed by the sun, it will take longer to cool the room.

• Always try to keep the air filter clean. (Refer to “CARE AND CLEANING”.) A clogged filter will impair the performance of the unit. • To prevent conditioned air from escaping, keep windows, doors and any other openings closed.

NOTE Should the power fail while the unit is running

If the power supply for this unit is temporarily cut off, the unit will automatically resume operation once power is restored using the same settings before the power was interrupted.
