Common Questions
19 totalWhat should I do if the air conditioner smells strange during operation?
Some smell from the indoor unit is normal and results from room smells such as furniture and tobacco that have been taken into the indoor unit. This is not a malfunction. However, if you notice a burning smell, immediately stop operation, turn off the electrical breaker, and consult authorized service personnel. (Page 15)
How often should I clean the air filter?
During periods of normal use, the air filters should be cleaned every two weeks. Dust can be removed with a vacuum cleaner or by washing the filter in a solution of neutral detergent and warm water. If washed, the filter must be allowed to dry thoroughly in a shady place before reinstalling. (Page 13)
Why does my air conditioner not start immediately after I turn it back on?
If the indoor unit is stopped and then immediately restarted, the compressor will not operate for about 3 minutes to prevent fuse blowouts. Additionally, whenever the electrical breaker is turned off and then on again, the protection circuit will operate for about 3 minutes, preventing unit operation during that period. (Page 15)
What does it mean when the OPERATION Indicator Lamp is flashing during heating mode?
A flashing OPERATION Indicator Lamp during heating mode indicates that the air conditioner has entered Automatic Defrosting operation. During this time, heat operation is temporarily interrupted for about 7 to 15 minutes while frost is removed from the outdoor unit. Once defrosting is complete, normal heating operation will resume. (Pages 7, 16)
What does it mean if both the OPERATION Indicator Lamp and TIMER Indicator Lamp flash simultaneously?
If both the OPERATION Indicator Lamp and the TIMER Indicator Lamp flash simultaneously, it means the unit has been accidentally switched to test operation mode by pressing the TEST RUN button. To stop the test operation mode, press the START/STOP button to turn off the air conditioner. (Page 4)
How does the Sleep Timer work during cooling mode?
During Cooling or Dry operation, when the Sleep Timer is set, the thermostat setting is automatically raised 2°F every sixty minutes. Once the thermostat setting has been raised a total of 4°F, that setting is maintained until the set time elapses, at which point the air conditioner automatically turns off. (Page 9)

Features And Functions
Inverter
At the start of operation, a large power is used to bring the room quickly to the desired temperature. Afterward, the air conditioner automatically switches to a low power set- ting for economic and comfortable operation.Wireless Remote Controller
The Wireless Remote Controller allows convenient control of indoor unit operation.Economy Operation
When ECONOMY operation mode is operated, the room temperature will be little higher than the set-temp under cooling mode and lower than set-temp under heating mode. Therefore, the ECONOMY mode is able to save more energy than other normal mode.Auto Changeover
The operation mode (cooling, dry, heating) is switched au- tomatically to maintain the set temperature, and the tem- perature is kept constant at all times.Minimum Heat Operation
The room temperature can be maintained at 50 °F so as to prevent the room temperature from falling too far.Program Timer
The program timer allows you to integrate OFF timer and ON timer operations in a single sequence. The sequence can involve one transition from OFF timer to ON timer, or from ON timer to OFF timer, within a twenty-four hour pe- riod.Sleep Timer
When the SLEEP button is pressed during Heating mode, the indoor unit’s thermostat setting is gradually lowered during the period of operation; during cooling mode, the thermostat setting is gradually raised during the period of operation. When the set time is reached, the indoor unit automatically turns off.Swing Operation
The Air Flow Direction Louvers swings automatically up and down so that the air speeds to every nook and corner of your room.Removable Intake Grille
The indoor unit’s Intake Grille can be removed for easy cleaning and maintenance.Mildew-Resistant Filter
The AIR FILTER has been treated to resist mildew growth, thus allowing cleaner use and easier care.Super Quiet Operation
When the FAN button is used to select QUIET, the indoor unit begins super-quiet operation; the indoor unit’s airfl ow is reduced to produce quieter operation.Polyphenol Catechin Air Cleaning Filter
The polyphenol catechin air cleaning filter uses static electricity to clean fi ne particles and dust in the air such as tobacco smoke and plant pollen that are too small to see. The fi lter contains catechin, which is highly effective against various bacteria by suppressing the growth of the bacteria adsorbed to the fi lter. Note that when the air cleaning filter is installed, the amount of air produced decreases, causing a slight de- crease in the indoor unit’s performance.Negative Air Ions Deodorizing Filter
It comprises pottery super micro particles which can pro- duce negative air ions having the effect of deodorizing and can absorb and remit the peculiar smell at home. ● Ensure that any electronic equipment is at least 3.3ft (1m) away from either the in- door or outdoor units. ● Avoid installing the air conditioner near a fi replace or other heating apparatus. ● When installing the indoor and outdoor unit, take precautions to prevent access to infants. ● Do not use infl ammable gases near the air conditioner. ● This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

Troubleshooting
Warning!
Symptom Doesn’t operate immedi- ately: Noise is heard: Smells: Mist or steam is emitted: Airfl ow is weak or stops: Water is produced from the outdoor unit: Problem ● If the indoor unit is stopped and then immediately started again, the compressor will not operate for about 3 minutes, in order to prevent fuse blowouts. ● Whenever the electrical breaker is turned off then on again the protection circuit will operate for about 3 minutes, preventing unit operation during that period. ● During operation or immediately after stopping the unit, the sound of water fl owing in the air conditioner’s piping may be heard. Also, noise may be particularly noticeable for about 2 to 3 minutes after starting operation (sound of refrigerant fl owing). ● During operation, a slight squeaking sound may be heard. This is the result of minute expansion and contraction of the front panel due to temperature changes. ● During Heating operation, a sizzling sound may be heard occasion- al. This sound is produced by the Automatic Defrosting operation. ● Some smell may be emitted from the indoor unit. This smell is the result of room smells (furniture, tobacco, etc.) which have been taken into the indoor unit. ● During Cooling or Dry operation, a thin mist may be seen emit- ted from the indoor unit. This results from the sudden Cooling of room air by the cool air emitted from the indoor unit, result- ing in condensation and misting. ● During Heating operation, the outdoor unit’s fan may stop, and steam may be seen rising from the unit. This is due to Automat- ic Defrosting operation. ● When Heating operation is started, fan speed is temporarily very low, to allow internal parts to warm up. ● During Heating operation, if the room temperature rises above the thermostat setting, the outdoor unit will stop, and the in- door unit will operate at very low fan speed. If you wish to warm the room further, set the thermostat for a higher setting. ● During Heating operation, the indoor unit will temporarily stop operation (between 7 and 15 minutes) as the Automatic Defrost- ing mode operates. During Automatic Defrosting operation, the OPERATION Indicator Lamp will fl ash. ● During Dry mode, the indoor unit will operate at low speed; in order to adjust room humidity, the indoor unit’s fan may stop from time to time. Also, the fan may operate at very low speed when adjusting room humidity. ● During SUPER QUIET operation, the fan will operate at very low speed. ● In the monitor of AUTO operation, the fan will operate at very low speed. ● In case of Multi-type unit, if multiple units are operated in different operation modes as shown below, the units operated afterward will stop and the OPERATION indicator lamp (green) will fl ash.

Function
In the event of a malfunction (burning smell, etc.), immediately stop operation, turn off the electrical breaker and consult authorized service personnel. Merely turning off the unit’s power switch will not completely disconnect the unit from the power source. Always be sure to turn off the electrical breaker to ensure that power is completely off. Before requesting service, perform the following checks:En-16

Items to check ● Has the circuit breaker been turn off? ● Has there been a power failure? ● Has a fuse blown out, or a circuit breaker been tripped? ● Is the timer operating? ● Is the Air Filter dirty? ● Are the air conditioner’s intake grille or outlet port blocked? ● Did you adjust the room temperature settings (thermostat) cor- rectly? ● Is there a window or door open? ● In the case of Cooling operation, is a window allowing bright sunlight to enter? (Close the curtains.) ● In the case of Cooling operation, are there heating apparatus and computers inside the room, or are there too many people in the room? ● Is the unit set for SUPER QUIET operation? ● Are the Remote Controller’s batteries dead? ● Are the Remote Controller’s batteries loaded properly?Operating Tips
If the problem persists after performing these checks, or if you notice burning smells, or the OPERATION Indicator Lamp (Fig. 3 5) and the TIMER Indicator Lamp (Fig. 3 6) fl ashes, and ECONOMY Indicator Lamp(Fig.3 7) fl ashes fast. immedi- ately stop operation, turn off the electrical breaker and consult authorized service personnel. Operation and Performance Heating Performance ● This air conditioner operates on the heat-pump princi- ple, absorbing heat from outdoor air and transferring that heat to indoor unit. As a result, the operating per- formance is reduced as outdoor air temperature drops. If you feel that insuffi cient heating performance is being produced, we recommend you use this air conditioner in conjunction with another kind of heating appliance. ● Heat-pump air conditioners heat your entire room by recirculating air throughout the room, with the result that some time may be required after fi rst starting the air conditioner until the room is heated. Microcomputer-controlled Automatic Defrosting ● When using the Heating mode under conditions of low outdoor temperature and high humidity, frost may form on the outdoor unit, resulting in reduced operating per- formance.In order to prevent this kind of reduced performance, this air conditioner is equipped with a Microcomputer- controlled Automatic Defrosting function. If frost forms, the air conditioner will temporarily stop, and the de- frosting circuit will operate briefl y (for about 7-15 min- utes).
During Automatic Defrosting operation, the OPERATION Indicator Lamp (green) will fl ash. ● After heating operation stops, if frost forms on the out- door unit, the unit will start Automatic Defrosting op- eration. At this time, the outdoor unit will automatically stop after operating for a few minutes.

Operating Tips
Multi-type Air conditioner This indoor unit can be connected to a multi-type outdoor unit. The multi-type air conditioner allows multiple indoor units to be operated in multiple locations. The indoor units may be operated simultaneously, in accordance with their respective output. ● Operation can be done in the following different oper- ating modes.Cooling mode and dry mode
Cooling mode and fan mode
Dry mode and fan mode ● The operating mode (heating mode or cooling (dry) mode) of the outdoor unit will be determined by the operating mode of the indoor unit that was operated first. If the indoor unit was started in fan mode, the operating mode of the outdoor unit will not be deter- mined.
For example, if indoor unit (A) was started in fan mode and then indoor unit (B) was then operated in heating mode, indoor unit (A) would temporarily start opera- tion in fan mode but when indoor unit (B) started operating in heating mode, the OPERATION indicator lamp (green) for indoor unit (A) would begin to fl ash (1 second on, 1 second off) and it would go into standby mode. Indoor unit (B) would continue to operate in heating mode. ● During use of the heating mode, the top of the indoor unit may become warm, but this is due to the fact that coolant is circulated through the indoor unit even when it is stopped; it is not a malfunction. Notice Simultaneous Use of Multiple Units ● When using a multi-type air conditioner, the multi- ple indoor units can be operated simultaneously, but when two or more indoor units of the same group are operated simultaneously, the heating and cooling ef- fi ciency will be less than when a single indoor unit is used alone. Accordingly, when you wish to use more than one indoor unit for cooling at the same time, the use should be concentrated at night and other times when less output is required. In the same way, when multiple units are used simultaneously for heating, it is recommended that they be used in conjunction with other auxiliary space heaters, as required. ● Seasonal and outdoor temperature conditions, the structure of the rooms and the number of persons present may also result in differences of operating ef- fi ciency. We recommend that you try various operat- ing patterns in order to confirm the level of heating and cooling output provided by your units, and use the units in the way that best matches your family’s lifestyle. ● If you discover that one or more units delivers a low level of cooling or heating during simultaneous opera- tion, we recommend that you stop simultaneous op- eration of the multiple units. ● Operation cannot be done in the following different operating modes.
If the indoor unit is instructed to do an operating mode that it cannot perform, the OPERATION indicator lamp (green) on the indoor unit will flash (1 second on, 1 second off) and the unit will go into the standby mode. Heating mode and cooling mode (or dry mode) Heating mode and fan mode ● During use of the heating mode, the outdoor unit will occasionally commence the defrost operation for brief periods. During the defrosting operation, if the user sets the indoor unit for heating again, the defrosting mode will continue, and the heating operation will be- gin after completion of defrosting, with the result that some time may be required before warm air is emitted. AUTO Restart In Event of Power Interruption ● The power supply to the air conditioner is stopped by a power interruption. The air conditioner will then restart automatically in its previous mode when the power is restored. ● If a power interruption occurs during TIMER operation, the timer will be reset and the indoor unit will begin (or stop) operation at the new time setting. In the event that this kind of timer fault occurs, the TIMER Indicator Lamp will fl ash (see Page. 3). ● Use of other electrical appliances (electric shaver, etc.) or nearby use of a wireless radio transmitter may cause the air conditioner to malfunction. In this event, tempo- rarily turn off the circuit breaker, turn it on and then use the Remote Controller to resume operation.
