PRECAUTIONS

WARNING FOR USE

1 Do not pull or deform the power supply cord. Pulling and misuse of the power supply cord can result in damage to the unit and cause electrical shock.
2 Be careful not to expose your body directly to the outlet air for a long time. It may affect your physical conditions.
3 When using the air conditioner for infants, children, elderly, bedridden, or disabled people make sure the room temperature is suitable for those in the room.
4 Never insert objects into the unit. Inserting objects can result in injury due to the high speed rotation of internal fans.
5 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 cause electric shock.
6 If anything is abnormal with the air conditioner (ex. a burning smell), stop the operation immediately and turn the circuit breaker OFF.
7 Follow local rules and regulations for power supply cord cabling. Improper cable connection can cause the power supply cord, plug and the electrical outlet to overheat and cause fire.
Use only the manufacture-specified power cord for replacement. Replacement should be performed by a qualified technician or a service person.

WARNING FOR INSTALLATION / REMOVAL / REPAIR

6 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.
7 Do not place a vessel with water on the unit. If water penetrates into the unit, electrical insulations may deteriorate and cause electric shock.
8 Do not block the air inlets nor outlets of the unit. It may cause insufficient performance or troubles.
9 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.
10 Do not splash or pour water directly on the unit. Water can cause electrical shock or equipment damage.
11 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.
• Make sure a leak breaker or a circuit breaker is installed, depending on the installation location, to avoid electrical shock.

ADDITIONAL NOTES ON OPERATION

D.B. = Dry-bulb W.B. = Wet-bulb

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 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.

NOTES FOR MODELS AY-A07BE/AY-A09BE/AY-A12BE

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.

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^ higher than the desired temperature in the COOL mode (and 2^ lower in the HEAT mode with models AY-A07BE/AY-A09BE/AY-A12BE) 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 operation (and heating operation with models AY-A07BE/AY-A09BE/AY-A12BE).

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.
