ENGLISH CLEANING THE UNIT AND THE REMOTE CONTROL BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE The following conditions do not denote equipment malfunctions UNIT DOES NOT OPERATE The unit will not operate if it is turned on immediately after it is turned off. The unit will not operate immediately after the mode is changed. This is to protect the internal mechanisms. Wait 3 minutes before operating the unit. UNIT DOES NOT SEND OUT WARM AIR The unit is preheating or de-icing. ODORS Carpet and furniture odors that entered into the unit may be sent out from the unit.

UNIT DOES NOT OPERATE IN YOUR REQUESTED MODE • When one indoor unit is operating in COOL or DRY mode, you can not operate the other unit in HEAT mode. (After a few seconds, a long BEEP will be emitted, and the temperature indicator ” and the on the indicator panel will indicate” OPERATION lamp and TIMER lamp will blink alternately.) • When one indoor unit is operating in HEAT mode, you can not operate the other unit in COOL nor DRY mode. (After a few seconds, a long BEEP will be emitted, and the temperature indicator on the indicator panel will indicate” ” and the OPERATION lamp and TIMER lamp will blink alternately.)

CRACKING NOISE The unit may produce a cracking noise. This sound is generated by the friction of the front panel and other components expanding or connecting due to a temperature change.

UNIT DOES NOT SEND OUT AIR (PLASMACLUSTER operation without accompanying air conditioning mode, SELF CLEAN operation) The other unit(s) is/are de-icing.

A LOW BUZZING NOISE EMITTED This is a sound emitted when the unit is generating Plasmacluster ions.

If the unit appears to be malfunctioning, check the following points before calling for service.

SWISHING NOISE The soft, swishing noise is the sound of the refrigerant flowing inside the unit. WATER VAPOUR • In the COOL and DRY operation, water vapour can sometimes be seen at the air outlet due to the difference between the room air temperature and the air discharged by the unit. • In the HEAT operation, water vapour may flow out of the outdoor unit during de-icing. THE OUTDOOR UNIT DOES NOT STOP After stopping the operation, the outdoor unit will rotate its' fan for about a minute to cool down the unit. ODOR EMITTED FROM THE PLASMACLUSTER AIR OUTLET This is the smell of ozone generated from the Plasmacluster Ion generator. The ozone concentration is very small, posing no adverse effect on your health. The ozone discharged into the air rapidly decomposes, and its density in the room will not increase. When using your air conditioner with multisystem INDOOR UNIT BECOMES WARM EVEN WHEN IDLE This is because the refrigerant also floes through the idle indoor unit's pipes when the other unit is operated in HEAT mode.

IF THE UNIT FAILS TO OPERATE Check to see if the circuit breaker has tripped or the fuse has blown. IF THE UNIT FAILS TO COOL (OR HEAT) THE ROOM EFFECTIVELY • Check the filters. If dirty, clean them. • Check the outdoor unit to make sure nothing is blocking the air inlet or outlet. • Check the thermostat is proper setting. • Make sure windows and doors are closed tightly. • A large number of people in the room can prevent the unit from achieving the desired temperature. • Check whether any heat-generating appliances are operating in the room. IF THE UNIT FAILS TO RECEIVE THE REMOTE CONTROL SIGNAL • Check whether the remote control batteries have become old and weak. • Try to send the signal again with the remote control pointed properly towards the unit’s signal receiver window. • Check whether the remote control batteries are installed with the polarities properly aligned. Please call for service when TEMPERATURE INDICATOR on the indicator panel blink.

INDOOR UNIT BECOMES WARM EVEN WHEN NOT DURING HEATING OPERATION When the PLASMACLUSTER button is pressed while the unit is not operating, the PLASMACLUSTER operation will be performed without accompanying air conditioning mode (eg. HEATING or COOLING). At this time, you may feel warm air coming out from the unit air outlet if HEATING is performed with units in other rooms. Indoor fan will decrease its rotating speed and will turn ON and OFF depending on the room temperature.

COOLING HEATING ENGLISH OPERATING TEMPERATURE RANGE OUTDOOR TEMP. 46˚C (Single use) 43˚C (Multi use) –10˚C (Single use) 21˚C (Multi use) 24˚C –15˚C

• The built-in protective device may prevent the unit from operating when used out of this range. • Condensation may form on the air outlet if the unit operates continuously in the COOL or DRY mode when humidity is over 80 percent.

WHEN POWER FAILURE OCCURS This air conditioner has a memory function to store settings when a power failure occurs. After power recovery, the unit will automatically restart in the same settings which were active before the power failure, except for timer settings. If the timers were set before a power failure, they will need to be re-set after power recovery.

PREHEATING FUNCTION In the HEAT operation, the indoor fan may not start for two to five minutes after the unit is turned on to prevent cold air from blowing out of the unit.

DE-ICING FUNCTION • When ice forms on the heat exchanger in the outdoor unit during the HEAT operation, an automatic de-icer provides heat for about 5 to 10 minutes to remove the ice. During de-icing, the inside and outside fans stop operating. • After de-icing is completed, the unit automatically resumes operation in the HEAT mode.

HEATING EFFICIENCY • The unit employs a heat pump that draws heat from the outside air and releases it into the room. The outside air temperature therefore greatly affects the heating efficiency. • If the heating efficiency is reduced due to low outside temperatures, use an additional heater. • It takes time to warm up and heat the entire room because of the forced air circulation system.
