• Please read the “Safety Precaution” carefully before operating the unit to ensure correct usage of the unit.

• Pay special attention to signs of “

Warning” and “ Caution”. The “Warning” section contains matters which, if

not observed strictly, may cause death or serious injury. The “Caution” section contains matters which may result

in serious consequences if not observed properly. Please observe all instructions strictly to ensure safety.

• The signs indicate the following meanings. (The following are examples of signs.)

PRECAUTIONS DURING OPERATION

WARNING

SAFETY PRECAUTION

• Do not reconstruct the unit.

Water leakage, fault, short circuit or fi re may occur if you reconstruct the unit by

yourself.

• Please ask your sales agent or qualified technician for the installation of your unit.

Water leakage, short circuit or fire may occur if you install the unit by yourself.

• Please use earth line.

Do not place the earth line near water or gas pipes, lightning-conductor, or the

earth line of telephone. Improper installation of earth line may cause electric

shock or fire.

• Be sure to use the specifi ed piping set for R410A. Otherwise, this may result in

broken copper pipes or faults.

• A circuit breaker should be installed depending on the mounting site of the unit.

Without a circuit breaker, the danger of electric shock exists.

•

• Please ensure smooth fl ow of water when installing the drain hose.

• Make sure that a single phase power source is used.

The use of other power sources may cause electrical components to overheat

and lead to fi re.

operate under such condition for a long time.

• If the amount of heat in the room is above the cooling or heating capability of

the unit (for example: more people entering the room, using heating equipments

and etc.), the preset room temperature cannot be achieved.

• Indoor unit cleaning must be performed by authorized personnel only. Consult

your sales agent.

Using a commercially available detergent or similar can damage the plastic parts

NOTE FOR MULTI SYSTEM

Several indoor units can be connected to one outdoor unit.

You can operate only one unit or several units according to your needs.

Combination of operations:

When operation mode is selected:

You cannot operate the indoor units in the

following combinations.

One unit Other unit

Heating

Cooling

Dehumidifying

Fan

During automatic operation

The indoor unit which is turned on first continues to

operate. Other indoor units which are turned on later

go into standby mode and the operation lamp lights.

To operate the indoor units turned on later, set the

operation mode as same as the indoor unit turned

on first.

When heating operation is automatically selected for the first indoor unit, the next indoor unit will then start to

heat. Also, if cooling or dehumidifying is automatically selected for the first indoor unit, the next indoor unit will

also start to cool or dehumidify.

Adjusting the number of indoor units:

Decrease the number of indoor

units to be operated especially

when it is very hot or very cold

or when you want to reach the

preset temperature quickly.

Stopped indoor units:

When an indoor unit is operated in the cooling,

heating or dehumidifying mode in one room,

the sound of refrigerant flow may be heard

from a stopped indoor unit or a stopped indoor

unit may become warm. This is because the

indoor unit returns refrigerant to the outdoor

unit to be ready for operation.

PREPARATION BEFORE OPERATION

■ To install the batteries

■ To ﬁ x the remote controller holder to the wall

1. Slide the cover to take it off.

2. Install two dry batteries AAA.LR03 (alkaline).

The direction of the batteries should match the

marks in the case.

3. Replace the cover at its original position.

1. Choose a place from where the signals can reach the unit.

2. Fix the remote controller holder to a wall, a pillar or similar

location with the provided screws.

3. Place the remote controller in the remote controller holder.

NOTE

Notes on batteries

● When replacing the batteries, use batteries of the same

type, and replace both old batteries together.

● When the system is not used for a long time, take the

batteries out.

● The batteries will last for approximately 1 year. However, if

the remote controller display begins to fade and degradation

of reception performance occurs within a year, replace both

batteries with new size AAA.LR03 (alkaline).

● The attached batteries are provided for the initial use of

the system.

The usable period of the batteries may be short depending

on the manufactured date of the air conditioner.

Notes on the remote controller

● Never expose the remote controller to direct sunlight.

● Dust on the signal transmitter or receiver will reduce the

sensitivity. Wipe off dust with soft cloth.

● Signal communication may be disabled if an electronic-

starter-type ﬂ uorescent lamp (such as inverter-type lamps)

is in the room. Consult the shop if that is the case.

● If the remote controller signals happen to operate another

appliance, move that appliance to somewhere else, or

consult the service shop.

● When the remote controller is not in use, please close the

slide cover to prevent failure.

AUTOMATIC OPERATION

The device will automatically determine the mode of operation, HEAT or COOL depending on the current

room temperature. The selected mode of operation will change when the room temperature varies.

However, the mode of operation will not change when indoor unit is connected to multi type outdoor unit.

VARIOUS FUNCTIONS

■ Auto Restart Control

● If there is a power failure, operation will be automatically restarted when the power is resumed with previous operation

mode and airﬂ ow direction.

(As the operation is not stopped by remote controller.)

● If you intend not to continue the operation when the power is resumed, switch off the power supply.

When you switch on the circuit breaker, the operation will be automatically restarted with previous operation mode

and airﬂ ow direction.

Note: 1. If you do not require Auto Restart Control, please consult your sales agent.

determine the mode of operation, HEAT or COOL depending on

the current room temperature. However the mode of operation will

not change when indoor unit is connected to multi type outdoor

unit.

● If the mode automatically selected by the unit is not satisfactory,

manually change the mode setting (HEAT, DEHUMIDIFY, COOL

or FAN).

Press the (FAN SPEED) button to select AUTO, HIGH, MED, LOW

or SILENT.

Press the (START/STOP) button.

Defrosting will be performed about once an hour when frost forms on the heat exchange of the outdoor unit,

for 5~10 minutes each time.

During defrosting operation, the operation lamp blinks in a cycle of 3 seconds on and 0.5 second off.

The maximum time for defrosting is 20 minutes.

However, if the indoor unit is connected to multi type outdoor unit, the maximum time for defrosting is 15
