• After reading, keep this manual in a convenient place so that you can refer to it whenever necessary. If the equipment is
transferred to a new user, be sure also to hand over the manual.

WARNING
• In order to avoid fire, explosion or injury, do not operate the unit when harmful, among which flammable or corrosive
gases, are detected near the unit.
• Be aware that prolonged, direct exposure to cool or warm air from the air conditioner, or to air that is too cool or too
warm can be harmful to your physical condition and health.
• Do not place objects, including rods, your fingers, etc., in the air inlet or outlet. Product malfunctioning, product or
injury damage may result due to contact with the air conditioner’s high-speed fan blades.
• Do not attempt to repair, dismantle reinstall or modify the air conditioner yourself as this may result in water leakage,
electric shocks or fire hazards.
• Do not use flammable spray near the air conditioner, or otherwise fire may result.
• Beware of fire in case of refrigerant leakage. If the air conditioner is not operating correctly, i.e. not generating cool or
warm air, refrigerant leakage could be the cause. Consult your dealer for assistance. The refrigerant within the air
conditioner is safe and normally does not leak.
However, in the event of a leakage, contact with a naked burner, heater or cooker may result in generation of noxious
gas. Do not longer use the air conditioner until a qualified service person confirms that the leakage has been
repaired.
• Do not attempt to install or repair the air conditioner yourself. Improper workmanship may result in water leakage,
electric shocks or fire hazards. Please contact your local dealer or qualified personnel for installation and
maintenance work.
• When the air conditioner is malfunctioning (giving off a burning odour, etc.) turn off power to the unit and contact your
local dealer. Continued operation under such circumstances may result in a failure, electric shocks or fire hazards.
• Be sure to install an earth leakage breaker. Failure to install an earth leakage breaker may result in electric shocks or fire.
• Be sure to earth the unit. Do not earth the unit to a utility pipe, lightning conductor or telephone earth lead. Imperfect
earthing may result in electric shocks.

CAUTION
• Do not use the air conditioner for purposes other than those for which it is intended. Do not use the air conditioner for
cooling precision instruments, food, plants, animals or works of art as this may adversely affect the performance,
quality and/or longevity of the object concerned.
• Do not expose plants or animals directly to airflow from the unit as this may cause adverse effects.
• Do not place appliances that produce naked flames in places exposed to the airflow from the unit as this may impair
combustion of the burner.

toppling down, thus resulting in injury, product malfunctioning, or product damage.
• Do not place objects that are susceptible to moisture directly beneath the indoor or outdoor units. Under certain
conditions, condensation on the main unit or refrigerant pipes, air filter dirt or drain blockage may cause dripping,
resulting in fouling or failure of the object concerned.
• After prolonged use, check the unit stand and its mounts for damage. If left in a damaged condition, the unit may fall
and cause injury.
• To avoid injury, do not touch the air inlet or aluminium fins of the indoor or outdoor units.
• The appliance is not intended for use by unattended young children or infirm persons. Impairment of bodily functions
and harm to health may result.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the unit or its remote controller. Accidental
operation by a child may result in impairment of bodily functions and harm health.
• Do not give impact to the indoor and outdoor units, or otherwise product damage may result.
• Do not place flammable items, such as spray cans, within 1 meter of the air outlet.
The spray cans may explode as a result of hot air from the indoor or outdoor units.
• Be careful not to let pets urinate on the air conditioner. Urination on the air conditioner may result in electric shocks or fire.
• To avoid oxygen depletion, ensure that the room is adequately ventilated if equipment such as a burner is used
together with the air conditioner.
• Before cleaning, be sure to stop unit operation, turn the breaker off or remove the power cord. Otherwise, an electric
shock and injury may result.
• Only connect the air conditioner to the specified power supply circuit. Power supplies other than the one specified
may result in electric shocks, overheating and fires.
• Arrange the drain hose to ensure smooth drainage. Imperfect drainage may cause wetting of the building, furniture etc.
• Do not place objects in direct proximity of the outdoor unit and do not let leaves and other debris accumulate around
the unit. Leaves are a hotbed for small animals which can enter the unit. Once in the unit, such animals can cause
malfunctions, smoke or fire when making contact with electrical parts.
• Do not place objects around the indoor unit.
Doing so may have an adverse influence on the performance, product quality, and life of the air conditioner.
• To avoid electric shocks, do not operate with wet hands.

NOTE
MODE Notes on each operation mode
• 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.
HEAT • The heat pump system heats the room by circulating hot air around all parts of the room. After the start of heating
operation, it takes some time before the room gets warmer.
• In heating 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 blowing the hot air in the room outside, so if the outside temperature is high, the
COOL
performance of the air conditioner drops.
• The computer chip works to rid the room of humidity while maintaining the temperature as much as possible. It automatically
DRY
controls temperature and airflow rate, so manual adjustment of these functions is unavailable.
• In AUTO operation, the system selects a temperature setting and an appropriate operation mode (COOL or HEAT) based on
AUTO the room temperature at the start of the operation.

NOTE
„ Notes on operation mode for multi system
• COOL, DRY and FAN mode may be used at the same time.
• AUTO mode automatically selects COOL mode or HEAT mode based on the room temperature.
Therefore, AUTO mode is available when selecting the same operation mode as that of the room with the first unit to be turned on.

CAUTION
• Normally, the operation mode in the room where the unit is first run is given priority, but the following situations are exceptions, so please keep
this in mind.
If the operation mode of the first room is FAN mode, then using HEAT mode in any room after this will give priority to HEAT. In this situation,
the air conditioner running in FAN mode will go on standby, and the operation lamp will flash.

With the priority room setting active.

Refer to “Priority room setting” on the next page.

„ NIGHT QUIET mode (Available only for COOL operation)

NIGHT QUIET mode requires initial programming during installation. Please consult your retailer or dealer for assistance.
NIGHT QUIET mode reduces the operation noise of the outdoor unit during the nighttime hours to prevent annoyance to
neighbors.
• The NIGHT QUIET mode is activated when the temperature drops 5°C or more below the highest temperature recorded that day.
Therefore, when the temperature difference is less than 5°C, this function will not be activated.
• NIGHT QUIET mode reduces slightly the cooling efficiency of the unit.

„ Priority room setting

The priority room setting requires initial programming during installation. Please consult your authorized dealer for assistance.
The room designated as the priority room takes priority in the following situations.

Operation mode priority

• As the operation mode of the priority room takes precedence, the user can select a different operation mode from other
rooms.
[Example]
• Room A is the priority room in the examples.
When COOL mode is selected in room A while operating the following modes in room B, C and D :
Operation mode in room B, C and D Status of room B, C and D when the unit in room A is in COOL mode
COOL or DRY or FAN Current operation mode maintained
HEAT The unit enters standby mode. Operation resumes when the room A unit stops operating.
If the unit is set to COOL mode, operation continues. If the unit is set to HEAT mode, it enters
AUTO
standby mode. Operation resumes when the room A unit stops operating.

Priority when POWERFUL operation is used

[Example]
• Room A is the priority room in the examples.
The indoor units in rooms A, B, C and D are all operating. If the unit in room A enters POWERFUL operation, operation
capacity will be concentrated in room A. In such a case, the COOL (HEAT) efficiency of the units in room B, C and D may
be slightly reduced.

Priority when using OUTDOOR UNIT QUIET operation

[Example]
• Room A is the priority room in the examples.
Just by setting the unit in room A to QUIET operation, the air conditioner starts OUTDOOR UNIT QUIET operation.
You don’t have to set all the operated indoor units to QUIET operation.
