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.

OPERATING TEMPERATURE RANGE

• 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 NOTES FOR MODELS AY-X08CR/AY-X10CR/AY-X13CR PREHEATING FUNCTION In the HEAT operation, the indoor fan may not start for two to five minutes after the unit is turned on to preventcold 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-icerprovides heat for about 5 to 10 minutes to remove the ice. During de-icing, the inside and outside fans stopoperating.• 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 outsideair 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°C higher than the desired temperature in the COOL mode (and 2°C lower in theHEAT mode with models AY-X08CR/AY-X10CR/AY-X13CR) will save approximately 10 percent in powerconsumption.• Setting the temperature lower than necessary during cooling operation will result in increased powerconsumption.

BLOCK DIRECT SUNLIGHT AND PREVENT DRAFTS

• Blocking direct sunlight during cooling operation will reduce power consumption.• Close the windows and doors during cooling opeation (and heating operation with models AY-X08CR/AY-X10CR/AY-X13CR). 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.

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 powerfailure, except for timer settings.If the timers were set before a power failure, they will need to be re-set after power recovery.(AY-X08CR/AY-X10CR/AY-X13CR only)
