Features

Enhanced comfort and energy savings

COMFORT AIRFLOW

The airflow direction is upward while in COOL operation, and downward while in HEAT operation. This function prevents cold or warm air from blowing directly on your body. (See Page 15)

ECONO

This function enables efficient operation by limiting the maximum power consumption. It is useful when using the air conditioner and other electrical devices simultaneously on a shared electrical circuit. (See Page 16)

Read Before Operation

Operation modeCOOL operationHEAT operationAUTO operationDRY or FAN ONLY operation
Temperature setting range64-90°F (18-32°C)50-86°F (10-30°C)64-86°F (18-30°C)The temperature setting cannot be changed.

Tips for saving energy

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

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

Adjusting the Airflow Rate

You can adjust the airflow rate to increase your comfort.

To adjust the airflow rate setting

Press FAN. Each pressing of FAN changes the airflow rate setting in sequence.

Sequence diagram showing airflow rate settings: AUTO -> Indoor unit quiet -> Airflow rate 1-5 (Low to High).

When the airflow is set to "Indoor unit quiet", quiet operation starts and noise from the indoor unit will become quieter. In the quiet operation mode, the airflow rate is set to a weak level.

Sequence diagram showing airflow rate settings for AUTO, COOL, HEAT and FAN ONLY operation, and DRY operation where the airflow rate setting cannot be changed.

NOTE

Note on airflow rate setting

At smaller airflow rates, the cooling (heating) effect is also smaller.

Adjusting the Airflow Direction

You can adjust the airflow direction to increase your comfort.

CAUTION

To start auto swing (Up and down airflow direction)

Press SWING. "<0xF0><0x9F><0x95><0xB3>️" is displayed on the LCD. The flap (horizontal blade) will begin to swing.

To set the flap at the desired position

This function is effective while the flap is in auto swing mode. Press SWING when the flap reaches the desired position. "<0xF0><0x9F><0x95><0xB3>️" disappears from the LCD.

To adjust the louvers at desired position

Hold the knobs and move the louvers (vertical blades).

ECONO operation enables efficient operation by limiting the maximum power consumption. This function is useful to prevent the circuit breaker from tripping when the unit operates alongside other appliances on the same circuit.

To start ECONO operation

Press ECONO. "<0xF0><0x9F><0x9B><0x82>️" is displayed on the LCD. Not available in FAN ONLY mode.

To cancel ECONO operation

Press ECONO again. "<0xF0><0x9F><0x9B><0x82>️" disappears from the LCD.

NOTE

Note on COMFORT AIRFLOW operation

If the up and down airflow direction is selected, the COMFORT AIRFLOW operation will be canceled.

Notes on POWERFUL operation

Pressing OFF causes the settings to be canceled, and "<0xF0><0x9F><0x92><0xA5>" disappears from the LCD. POWERFUL operation will not increase the capacity of the air conditioner if the air conditioner is already in operation with its maximum capacity demonstrated.

Notes on ECONO operation

Pressing OFF causes the settings to be canceled, and "<0xF0><0x9F><0x9B><0x82>️" disappears from the LCD. If the power consumption level is already low, switching to ECONO operation will not reduce the power consumption.

Some useful functions can be used together.

[Example]

NOTE

NIGHT SET mode

When the OFF TIMER is set, the air conditioner automatically adjusts the temperature setting (0.9°F (0.5°C) up in COOL, 3.6°F (2.0°C) down in HEAT) to prevent excessive cooling (heating) during sleeping hours.

When the Need Arises

FAQ

Indoor unit

The flap does not start swinging immediately.

The air conditioner is adjusting the position of the flap. The flap 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 a cool airflow. Operation will resume automatically when the indoor temperature falls.

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.

Operation does not start soon.

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

Different sounds are heard.

A sound like flowing water
Blowing sound

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

Ticking sound

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

Operating sound is loud.

When frost forms on the heat exchanger of the outdoor unit, the operating sound level increases slightly.

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.

Troubleshooting

Before making an inquiry or a request for repair, please check the following. If the problem persists, consult your dealer.

Not a problem

This case is not a problem.

Check

Please check again before requesting repairs.
