USER MANUAL AEXM18CR SHARP

Do not pull or deform the power supply cord. Pulling and misuse of the power supply cordcan result in damage to the unit and cause electrical shock. Be careful not to expose your body directly to the outlet air for a long time. It may affectyour physical conditions. When using the air conditioner for infants, children, elderly, bedridden, or disabled peoplemake sure the room temperature is suitable for those in the room. Never insert objects into the unit. Inserting objects can result in injury due to the highspeed rotation of internal fans. Ground the air conditioner without fail. Do not connect the grounding wire to gas pipe,water pipe, lightning rod or telephone grounding wire. Incomplete grounding may causeelectric shock. If anything is abnormal with the air conditioner (ex. a burning smell), stop the operationimmediately and turn the circuit breaker OFF. Follow local rules and regulations for power supply cord cabling. Improper cableconnection can cause the power supply cord, plug and the electrical outlet to overheatand cause fire. Use only the manufacture-specified power cord for replacement. Replacement should beperformed by a qualified technician or a service person.

WARNINGS FOR INSTALLATION / REMOVAL / REPAIR

Incorrect work will cause electric shock, water leak, fire etc. Consult your dealer or other qualified service personnel for theinstallation/removal/repair of the unit.This equipment complies with the requirements of Directives 89/336/EEC and 73/23/EEC as amended by 93/68/EEC.PRECAUTIONS

Open a window or door periodically to ventilate the room, especially when using gas appliances. Insufficient ventilation may cause oxygen shortage.

Do not operate the buttons with wet hand. It may cause electric shock.

For safety, turn the circuit breaker off when not using the unit for an extended period of time.

Check the outdoor unit mounting rack periodically for wear and to make sure it is firmly in place.

Do not put anything on the outdoor unit nor step on it. The object or the person may fall down or drop, causing injury.

This unit is designed for residential use. Do not use for other applications such as in a kennel or greenhouse to raise animals or grow plants.

Do not place a vessel with water on the unit. If water penetrates into the unit, electrical insulations may deteriorate and cause electric shock.

Do not block the air inlets nor outlets of the unit. It may cause insufficient performance or troubles.

Be sure to stop the operation and turn the circuit breaker off before performing any maintenance or cleaning. A fan is rotating inside the unit and you may get injured.

This appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision. Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

CAUTIONS FOR LOCATION / INSTALLATION

• Make sure to connect the air conditioner to power supply of the rated voltage and frequency. Use of a power supply with improper voltage and frequency can result in equipment damage and possible fire.

• Do not install the unit in a place where inflammable gas may leak. It may cause fire. Install the unit in a place with minimal dust, fumes and moisture in the air.

• Arrange the drain hose to ensure smooth drainage. Insufficient drainage may cause wetting of the room, furniture etc.

• The built-in protective de-vice may prevent the unitfrom operating when usedout of this range.• Condensation may form onthe air outlet if the unit op-erates continuously in theCOOL or DRY mode whenhumidity is over 80 percent. D.B. = Dry-bulb W.B. = Wet-bulb 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.

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 re-start 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. E-3

TIPS ON SAVING ENERGY

Below are some simple ways to save energy when you use your air conditioner.

SET THE CORRECT TEMPERATURE

• Setting the thermostat 1°C higher than the desired temperature in the COOL mode and 2°C lower in the HEAT mode will save approximately 10 percent in power consumption.

• Setting the temperature lower than necessary during cooling operation will result in increased power consumption.

BLOCK DIRECT SUNLIGHT AND PREVENT DRAFTS

• Blocking direct sunlight during cooling operation will reduce power consumption.

• Close the windows and doors during cooling and heating operations. SET PROPER AIR FLOW DIRECTION TO OBTAIN THE BEST AIR CIRCULATION KEEP FILTER CLEAN TO ENSURE THE MOST EFFICIENT OPERATION MAKE MOST OF THE TIMER OFF FUNCTION DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD WHEN THE UNIT IS NOT USED FOR AN

EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME

• The indoor unit still consumes a small amount of power when it is not operating.PART NAMES

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. 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. ODORS Carpet and furniture odors that entered into the unit and the air conditioner's inner component odors at the early stage of installation may be sent out from the unit.

A LOW BUZZ NOISE EMITTED

This is a sound emitted when the unit is generating cluster ions. 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 dis- charged 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 ionizer. Density of the ozone is very little, having no adverse effect over your health. The ozone released into the air will decompose soon, and its density in the room will not increase. During PLASMACLUSTER AUTO OPERATION, the air conditioner operates in the REFRESHING OPERA- TION even when there is odor in the room.

• In case for example, when the room is full of tobacco smokes before the air conditioner is turned on, the ODOR SENSOR may become unreactive.

• When one indoor unit is operating in COOL or DRY mode, you can not operate the other unit in HEAT mode. (4 seconds later, 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.)

• When one indoor unit is operating in HEAT mode, you can not operate the other unit in COOL nor DRY mode. (4 seconds later, 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.)

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. (only for models AY-XPM7CR/AY-XPM9CR/AY-XPM12CR)

INDOOR UNIT BECOMES WARM EVEN

WHEN IDLE This is because the refrigerant also flows through the idle indoor unit's pipes when the other unit is operated in HEAT mode.

UNIT DOES NOT SEND OUT AIR

(PLASMACLUTER operation without accompanying air conditioning mode, SELF CLEAN operation)

• The other unit(s) is/are de-icing.ENGLISH IF THE UNIT FAILS TO RECEIVE THE REMOTE CONTROL SIGNAL Check whether the remote control batteries have be- come old and weak. Try to send the signal again with the remote control pointed properly towards the unit’s sig- nal receiver window. Check whether the remote control batteries are in- stalled with the polarities properly aligned. If the unit appears to be malfunctioning, check the following points before calling for service.
