It is recommended that the unit be set in automatic cooling and heating mode. (P.7) The fan function of this unit supplies the outdoor air to the indoor space.

Group Control Group control function is suitable for operating the multiple air conditioners in a large single room. Up to 8 units can be connected. Operation of all indoor units in the same mode except for airfl ow direction. Use the indoor unit's temperature sensor.Outdoor unitRemote controllerSignal line NOTE NOTE For details, refer to the Operating Instructions attached to the optional Remote Controller. In the case of FRESH AIR INTAKE MODE, please note the following. Operation Mechanism

Since this air conditioner utilizes outside air for heating, its heating performance deteriorates as outside tempera-ture decreases.(Due to heat pump system)→In that case, use another heating appliance.

This appliance may start defrosting operation to melt frost formed in the outdoor unit.

Defrosting starts : The indoor unit fan stops (or the speed becomes extremely slow).→ “ ” (STANDBY) appears.

Heating operation resumes after several minutes : The indoor unit fan remains stopped (or it will run at a very slow speed) until the indoor heat exchanger coil warms up suffi ciently.→ “” (STANDBY) is shown.

Defrosting is complete : The indoor unit fan starts operation.→ “ ” (STANDBY) disappears.

Once the room temperature reaches the level that was set, the outdoor unit repeats the cycle of turning on and off automatically. When the outdoor unit is turned off, the indoor unit fan will stop, too.(To prevent the humidity in the room from rising again) When the room temperature is more likely to reach the level that was set, the fan speed is set to ‘‘breeze’’ (light wind) automatically. ‘‘DRY’’ operation is not possible if the outdoor tempera-ture is 15 °C or less.

Should the power failure occurs while the unit is running When the unit automatically resumes operation after temporary power failure, it uses the same settings before the power was cut off.

High /Medium /Low /Auto In FRESH AIR INTAKE MODE, Fan speed cannot be selected.
