Multi Room Systems
If a multi room system, there is one outdoor unit connected to multiple indoor units. The capacity of the heating and cooling of the indoor units will vary from the actual rated capacity, this is because the power of the outdoor unit is distributed across all the indoor units operating at the time.
A multi room system allows individual temperature control of each indoor unit, and ensures the units are only running when needed.
Mode selection
The mode of operation for all the indoor units is dictated by the first unit turned on. For example, if the living room unit is turned on in COOL mode, all the other units that are turned on will be in COOL mode. The operation modes can't be in conflict with each other.
About your Pro Series unit
Front panel: The outer casing of the indoor unit.
Louvre: The adjustable slats that direct airflow.
Filter: Located behind the front panel, it traps dust and particles.
Display window: Shows current settings and status.
Remote: The handheld device for controlling the unit.
Remote control holder (some units): A bracket to store the remote.
Operation range limits
The table below indicates the temperature range the unit can operate within.
Mode | Cooling mode | Heating mode | Dry mode |
---|---|---|---|
Room temperature | > 16 °C | < 30 °C | > 16 °C |
Outdoor temperature | 0~50 °C | -15~24 °C | 0~50 °C |
Modes of operation
AUTO
In this mode, fan speed, temperature, and operational mode (cooling, dry, and heating) are all adjusted automatically by the appliance, based on the current room temperature. In this mode, you cannot adjust the temperature, however the swing operations for air direction and the fan speeds can still be adjusted.
COOL
When selected, this mode operates the unit as a cooling appliance. The available range is 16 ~ 30 °C in 0.5 °C increments. The fan speed defaults to that which was last used.
DRY (dehumidifying)
In periods of high humidity, this mode removes excess moisture from the room, in order to prevent mould and mildew. This mode adjusts the room temperature and fan speed automatically to maintain the optimal level of humidity.
HEAT
When selected, this mode operates the unit as a heating appliance. The available range is 16 ~ 30 °C in 0.5 °C increments. The fan speed defaults to that which was last used.
FAN
This mode uses the fan to circulate air without changing the room temperature. In this mode, swing operations for air direction can still be adjusted.
Additional Functions
TURBO
This mode allows you to cool indoor air quickly in summer or warm it quickly in winter. In turbo mode, the fan is set to operate at the maximum output. Attempting to alter the fan speed during turbo will cancel this mode and return the appliance to manual operation.
When the appliance is operating in AUTO, FAN or DRY modes, the turbo function is not available.
ECO (available under cool mode only)
Under cooling mode, press ECO. The remote controller will adjust the temperature automatically to 24 °C with a fan speed of auto to save energy. Modifying the mode or adjusting the set temperature less than 24 °C will stop the ECO operation. Under ECO operation, the set temperature should be 24 °C or above; it may result in insufficient cooling. If you feel uncomfortable, press the ECO button again to stop it.
GEAR
Gear is a function within ECO that caps the compressor speed of the outdoor unit, which reduces electricity consumption. You will have the option of setting it to 75% or 50%.
CLEAN
Cooling and dehumidifying operations can generate moisture inside the appliance. If the appliance is not going to be used for a long period (in excess of one month), it is suggested to run the cleaning operation to remove dust and moisture to help avoid odours. The cleaning operation takes approximately 35 minutes and the appliance automatically shuts off at completion of the cleaning cycle.
SLEEP
This function gently regulates the set temperature to prevent excessive, draft-free heating or cooling during sleep. It allows the set temperature to increase or decrease 0.5-1 °C in an hour, up to a maximum of 2 °C above or below the set point (over a 10-hour period).
FOLLOW ME
Enables the remote control, when in AUTO, COOL, or HEAT, to measure the temperature at its current location and send this signal to the unit every three minutes. Measuring ambient temperature from the remote control (instead of the unit itself) will enable the heat pump to optimise the temperature around you for maximum comfort.
BREEZE AWAY
Drops the fan speed and raises the angle of the horizontal louvre so air is not blown down on people that may be directly below the unit.
DEFROST (dF)
In heating mode, when frost conditions are detected (thermistor in the outdoor unit), the unit automatically operates in reverse (lasting no more than ten minutes) to warm up the outdoor coil to stop it from freezing. This means the indoor unit will stop heating and only run on a low fan speed until defrost (dF) is completed.

Setting the Angle of Air Flow
While the unit is on, use the SWING button on the remote control to set the direction of air flow (refer p.11).
Note on louvre angles
When using COOL or DRY mode, do not set the louvre at too much of a vertical angle for long periods. This can cause water to condense on the louvre blade, which will drop on your floor or furnishings.
When using COOL or HEAT mode, setting the louvre at too vertical an angle can reduce the performance of the unit due to restricted air flow.
Do not move the louvre by hand. This will cause the louvre to become out of sync. If this occurs, turn off the unit and unplug it for a few seconds, then restart the unit. This will reset everything.
Diagram Description: An illustration shows an air conditioner's louvres and indicates the range of airflow direction.
Care and Maintenance
Before cleaning or maintenance, turn off your heat pump and disconnect the power supply.
Any maintenance and cleaning of the outdoor unit should only be done by a licensed service provider.
Only use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the unit clean. If the unit is especially dirty, you can use a cloth soaked in warm water to wipe it clean. Do not use water to clean the inside of the indoor unit. This can destroy the insulation and cause electrical shock. ⚡
- Do not use chemicals or chemically treated cloths to clean the unit.
- Do not use benzene, paint thinner, polishing powder or other solvents; they can cause the plastic surface to crack or deform.
- Do not use water hotter than 40 °C to clean the front panel; this can cause the panel to discolour or deform.
Cleaning your air filter
Clogged filters can reduce the heating / cooling efficiency of your unit, and can also be bad for your health. Make sure to clean the filter every two weeks.
- Lift the front panel of the indoor unit.
- Press the tab on the end of the filter to loosen, lift it up, then pull it out.
- If the filter has a small air freshening filter, unclip it and clean with a vacuum.
- Clean the large air filter with warm soapy water; be sure to use a mild detergent.
- Rinse the filter with fresh water, then shake off excess water.
- Dry in a cool place. Do not expose the filter to direct sunlight when drying, this can shrink the filter. ☀️
- When dry, reclip the air freshening filter to the large filter and then slide the filter back in place.
Failure to clean the filters regularly can cause condensation to form and drip from the indoor unit when it operates in cooling mode during humid conditions. ?
If you need new filters, please contact Rinnai.
Diagram Description: Illustrations show how to locate the filter tab, remove the air freshening filter from the back of the larger filter, and a visual representation of a filter.
