          • Since this air conditioner heats the room by taking heat from outdoor air to indoors, the heating capacity becomes smaller in lower outdoor temperatures. If the heating effect is insufficient, it is recommended to use another heating appliance in combination with the air conditioner.

          • The heat pump system heats the room by circulating hot air around all parts of the room. After the start of HEAT operation, it takes some time before the room gets warmer.

          • In HEAT operation, frost may occur on the outdoor unit and lower the heating capacity. In that case, the system switches into defrosting operation to take away the frost.

          • During defrosting operation, hot air does not flow out of indoor unit.

          • This air conditioner cools the room by releasing the heat in the room outside.

          • Eliminates humidity while maintaining the indoor temperature as much as possible. It automatically controls temperature and airflow rate, so manual adjustment of these functions is unavailable.

          • In AUTO operation, the system selects an appropriate operation mode (COOL or HEAT) based on the indoor temperature and starts the operation.

          • The system automatically reselects setting at a regular interval to bring the indoor temperature to the user-setting level.

    • Be careful not to cool (heat) the room too much.

      Keeping the temperature setting at a moderate level helps save energy.

    • Cover windows with a blind or a curtain.

      Blocking sunlight and air from outdoors increases the cooling (heating) effect.

    • Clogged air filters cause inefficient operation and waste energy. Clean them once in about every 2 weeks.

  • Notes on the operating conditions

    • The air conditioner always consumes a small amount of electricity even while it is not operating.


      Page 30

    • If you are not going to use the air conditioner for a long period, for example in spring or autumn, turn off the circuit breaker.

    • Use the air conditioner in the following conditions.

    • Operation outside the humidity or temperature range described in the table may cause a safety device to disable the system.

          The flaps adjust the airflow direction upward while cooling, downward while heating. Page 15



          INTELLIGENT EYE

          The sensor detects the movement of people in the sensing areas and the louvres adjust the airflow direction to an area where people are not present. When there are no people in the sensing areas, the air conditioner switches to the energy-saving mode. Page 15

      NOTE                                

    • Notes on COMFORT AIRFLOW operation

      • The position of the flaps will change, preventing air from blowing directly on the occupants of the room.

      • POWERFUL operation and COMFORT AIRFLOW operation cannot be used at the same time. Priority is given to the function of whichever button is pressed last.

      • The airflow rate will be set to AUTO. If the up and down airflow direction is selected, COMFORT AIRFLOW operation will be cancelled.

    • Notes on INTELLIGENT EYE operation

      • Application range is as follows.

      • While the air conditioner is in INTELLIGENT EYE operation, the louvres adjust the airflow direction if there are people in the sensing areas of the INTELLIGENT EYE so that the leftward or rightward airflow will not be directed to the people.

        If no people are detected in either area 1 or 2 for 20 minutes, the air conditioner switches to the energy-saving mode with the set temperature shifted by 2°C.

        The air conditioner may switch to the energy-saving operation even if there are people in the areas.

        This may occur depending on the clothes the people are wearing, if there is no movement of the people in the areas.

      • The airflow direction from the louvres will be leftward if there are people in both areas 1 and 2. The air will also flow left if there is a person right in front of the sensor as the sensor judges that there are people in both areas.

      • Due to the position of the sensor, people might be exposed to the airflow of the indoor unit if they are close to the front side of the indoor unit. If there are people close to the front side of the indoor unit or in both areas, it is recommended to use the COMFORT AIRFLOW and INTELLIGENT EYE operations simultaneously. Using both modes together, the air conditioner will not direct the airflow towards the people.

      • The sensor may not detect moving objects further than 7m away. (Please see the application range.)

      • Sensor detection sensitivity changes according to the indoor unit location, the speed of passers-by, temperature range, etc.

      • The sensor could also mistakenly detect pets, sunlight, fluttering curtains and light reflected off of mirrors as passers-by.

      • INTELLIGENT EYE operation will not switch on during POWERFUL operation.

      • NIGHT SET mode Page 21 will not switch on during use of INTELLIGENT EYE operation.

    • Notes on combining COMFORT AIRFLOW operation and INTELLIGENT EYE operation

      • The airflow rate will be set to AUTO. If the up and down airflow direction is selected, COMFORT AIRFLOW operation will be canceled. Priority is given to the function of whichever button is pressed last.

      • When the INTELLIGENT EYE sensor detects the movement of people, it adjusts the airflow direction upward (while in COOL operation) and downward (while in HEAT operation), by adjusting the flaps. When the sensor detects people, the louvres will direct the airflow in such a way that it will not be blown directly on them. If there are no people, the air conditioner will switch to energy-saving operation after 20 minutes.


CAUTION

  • Do not place large objects near the INTELLIGENT EYE sensor.

    Also keep heating units and humidifiers outside the sensor’s detection area. This sensor can detect undesirable objects.

  • Do not hit or violently push the INTELLIGENT EYE sensor. This can lead to damage and malfunction.

NOTE                                

  • Notes on POWERFUL operation

    • When using POWERFUL operation, there are some functions which are not available.

    • POWERFUL operation cannot be used together with ECONO, COMFORT AIRFLOW or OUTDOOR UNIT QUIET operation. Priority is given to the function of whichever button is pressed last.

    • POWERFUL operation can only be set when the unit is running. Pressing from the LCD.

      causes the settings to be cancelled, and “ ” disappears

    • POWERFUL operation will not increase the capacity of the air conditioner if the air conditioner is already in operation with its maximum capacity demonstrated.

    • In COOL and HEAT operation

      To maximize the cooling (heating) effect, the capacity of outdoor unit increases and the airflow rate becomes fixed at the maximum setting. The temperature and airflow settings cannot be changed.

    • In DRY operation

      The temperature setting is lowered by 2.5°C and the airflow rate is slightly increased.

    • In FAN operation

      The airflow rate is fixed at the maximum setting.

    • In AUTO operation

      To maximize the cooling (heating) effect, the capacity of outdoor unit is increased and the airflow rate is fixed to the maximum setting.

      18

      ECONO / OUTDOOR UNIT

      QUIET Operation


  • ECONO operation

    ECONO operation is a function which enables efficient operation by limiting the maximum power consumption value.

    This function is useful to prevent the circuit breaker from tripping when the unit operates alongside other appliances on the same circuit.

    [Example]

    Normal operation ECONO operation


    • In case the air conditioner and other appliances which require high power consumption are used at the same time, a circuit breaker may trip if the air conditioner operates with its maximum capacity.


  • OUTDOOR UNIT QUIET operation

    • The maximum power consumption of the air conditioner is limited by using ECONO operation.

      The circuit breaker will hardly trip even if the air conditioner and other appliances are used at same time.

      OUTDOOR UNIT QUIET operation lowers the noise level of the outdoor unit by changing the frequency and fan speed of the outdoor unit. This function is convenient during the night-time operation.


      [Example] Using the OUTDOOR UNIT QUIET operation during the night.

      • The noise level of the outdoor unit will be lower. This function is useful when you need to consider the noise for your neighbourhood.

      • The maintenance cost must be borne by the user.


        32

        Troubleshooting


    • These cases are not troubles.

      • The following cases are not air conditioner troubles but have some reasons. You may just continue using it.


        Indoor unit


The flaps do not start swinging immediately.


        • The air conditioner is adjusting the position of the

          flaps. The flaps will start moving soon.



          The air conditioner stops generating airflow during HEAT operation.

        • Once the set temperature is reached, the airflow rate is reduced and operation stopped in order to avoid generating cool airflow. Operation will resume automatically when the indoor temperature falls.


          Operation does not start soon.

          Different sounds are heard.

    • A sound like flowing water

      • This sound is generated because the refrigerant in the air conditioner is flowing.

      • This is a pumping sound of the water in the air conditioner and heard when the water is pumped out from the air conditioner during COOL or DRY operation.

      • The refrigerant flows in the air conditioner even if the air conditioner is not working when the indoor units in other rooms are in operation.

    • Blowing sound

      • This sound is generated when the flow of the refrigerant in the air conditioner is switched over.

        • When

          button was pressed soon after

        • Ticking sound

          operation was stopped.

          • When the mode was reselected.

      • This is to protect the air conditioner. You should wait for about 3 minutes.


        HEAT operation stops suddenly and a flowing sound is heard.

      • The outdoor unit is defrosting.

        HEAT operation starts after the frost on the outdoor unit has been removed. This can take about 4 to 12 minutes.

      • This sound is generated when the cabinet and frame of the air conditioner slightly expand or shrink as a result of temperature changes.

    • Whistling sound

      • This sound is generated when refrigerant flows during defrosting operation.

    • Clicking sound during operation or idle time

      • This sound is generated when the refrigerant control valves or the electrical parts operate.

    • Clopping sound

  • This sound is heard from the inside of the air conditioner when the exhaust fan is activated while the room doors are closed. Open the window or turn off the exhaust fan.


    Outdoor unit

The outdoor unit emits water or steam.

    • In HEAT operation

  • The frost on the outdoor unit melts into water or steam when the air conditioner is in defrosting operation.

    • In COOL or DRY operation

  • Moisture in the air condenses into water on the cool surface of the outdoor unit piping and drips.

  • Before making an inquiry or a request for repair, please check the following.

    If the problem persists, consult your dealer.


    Not trouble

    • These cases are not troubles.


      Check

    • Please check again before requesting repairs.

      Operation stopped suddenly. (Multi-monitor lamp is blinking.)

  • Are the air filters dirty? Clean the air filters.

  • Is there anything blocking the air inlet or air outlet of the indoor unit or outdoor unit?

    Stop operation and after turning off the circuit breaker, remove the obstruction. Then restart operation with the remote controller. If the multi-monitor lamp is still blinking, check the error code and consult your dealer.


    The air conditioner does not operate. (Multi-monitor lamp is off.)


    • Has the circuit breaker been tripped or the fuse blown?

    • Is there a power failure?

    • Are batteries set in the remote controller?

    • Is the timer setting correct?


      Upper and lower front panels do not open. (Multi-monitor lamp is blinking.)



      The room does not cool down/warm up.

    • Are the air filters dirty?

    • Is there anything blocking the air inlet or air outlet of the indoor unit or outdoor unit?

    • Is the set temperature appropriate?

    • Is the airflow rate setting appropriate?

    • Is the adjustment of the airflow direction appropriate?

    • Is a window or door open?

    • Is the air conditioner in ECONO operation or OUTDOOR UNIT QUIET operation?

  • Is there something caught in the upper and lower front panels?

    Remove the object and attempt operation again using the remote controller.

    If the upper and lower front panels still do not open and the multi-monitor lamp is still blinking, consult the dealer where you bought the air conditioner.


    Upper front panel does not close completely.

    • Are the upper front panel locks set appropriately?


      An abnormal functioning happens during operation.

      Mist comes out of the indoor unit.

      • The air conditioner may malfunction with lightning or                                                                  

        radio waves. Turn off the circuit breaker, turn it on again and try operating the air conditioner with the remote controller.

        • This happens when the air in the room is cooled into mist by the cold airflow during COOL or other operation.


      34

      Troubleshooting


      Hot air does not flow out soon after the start of HEAT operation.

      The outdoor fan rotates while the air conditioner is not in operation.


      • The air conditioner is warming up. Wait for about 1 to 4 minutes. (The system is designed to start discharging air only after it has reached a certain temperature.)

      • Immediately after the air conditioner is stopped

  • The outdoor unit fan continues rotating for about another 1 minute to protect the system.

    • While the air conditioner is not in operation

  • When the outdoor temperature is high, the outdoor unit fan may start rotating to protect the system.


    The ON/OFF TIMER does not operate according to the settings.

    • Check if the ON/OFF TIMER and the WEEKLY TIMER are set to the same time.

      Change or deactivate the settings in the WEEKLY TIMER. Page 23


      The air conditioner gives off an odour.

  • The room odour absorbed in the unit is discharged with the airflow.

    We recommend you to have the indoor unit cleaned. Please consult your dealer.


    Operation stopped suddenly. (Multi-monitor lamp is on.)

    • To protect the system, the air conditioner may stop operating after sudden large voltage fluctuations. It automatically resumes operation in about 3 minutes.


      If the upper and lower front panels are closed while the air conditioner is in operation, the air conditioner will stop operating and the multi-monitor lamp will blink.


      • Restart the air conditioner after stopping the operation of the air conditioner with the remote controller.


        Remote controller does not work properly.

          • The unit does not receive signals from the remote controller or has a limited operating range.

          • LCD is faint, is not working, or the display is erratic.

    • The batteries may be exhausted. Replace both batteries with new dry batteries AAA.LR03 (alkaline). For details, refer to “Preparation Before Operation”.
