2 TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY
ENGLISH
• Do not cool excessively indoors. This may be harmful to your health and may consume more elec-
tricity.
• Block sunlight with blinds or curtains while you are operating the air conditioner.
• Keep doors or windows closed tightly while you are operating the air conditioner.
• Adjust the direction of the air flow vertically or horizontally to circulate indoor air.
• Speed up the fan to cool or warm indoor air quickly, in a short period of time.
• Open windows regularly for ventilation as the indoor air quality may deteriorate if the air condition-
er is used for many hours.
• Clean the air filter once every 2 weeks. Dust and impurities collected in the air filter may block the
air flow or weaken the cooling / dehumidifying functions.

injured due to falling down.
! CAUTION
Installation
• Install the drain hose to ensure that drain can be securely done. Otherwise, it may cause water leak-
age.
• Install the product so that the noise or hot wind from the outdoor unit may not cause any damage to
the neighbors. Otherwise, it may cause dispute with the neighbors.
• Always inspect gas leakage after the installation and repair of product. Otherwise, it may cause the
failure of product.
• Keep level parallel in installing the product. Otherwise, it may cause vibration or water leakage.
Operation
• Avoid excessive cooling and perform ventilation sometimes. Otherwise, it may do harm to your
health.
• Use a soft cloth to clean. Do not use wax, thinner, or a strong detergent. The appearance of the air
conditioner may deteriorate, change color, or develop surface flaws.
• Do not use an appliance for special purposes such as preserving animals vegetables, precision
machine, or art articles. Otherwise, it may damage your properties.
• Do not place obstacles around the flow inlet or outlet. Otherwise, it may cause the failure of appli-
ance or an accident.

TEST RUNNING
Precautions In Test Running
- The initial power supply must provide at least 90% of the rated voltage.
Otherwise, the air conditioner should not be operated.
! CAUTION
For test run, carry out the cooling operation firstly even during heating season. If heating operation
is carried out firstly, it leads to the trouble of compressor. Then attention must be paid.
Carry out the test run more than 5 minutes without fail.
(Test run will be cancelled 18 minutes later automatically)
- The test run is started by pressing the room temperature checking button and down timer but-
ton for 3 seconds at the same time.
- To cancel the test run, press any button.
□Is the circulation of air adequate? □Is the remote controller switch operated?
□Is the draining smooth? □Is there any faulty wiring?
□Is the heat insulation complete □Are not terminal screws loosened?
(refrigerant and drain piping)?
□Is there any leakage of refrigerant? M4......118 N·cm {12 kgf·cm}
M5......196 N·cm {20 kgf·cm}
M6......245 N·cm {25 kgf·cm}
M8......588 N·cm {60 kgf·cm}
! CAUTION
After the confirmation of the above conditions, prepare the wiring as follows:
1 Never fail to have an individual power specialized for the air conditioner. As for the
method of wiring, be guided by the circuit diagram pasted on the inside of control box
cover.
2 Provide a circuit breaker switch between power source and the unit.
3 The screw which fasten the wiring in the casing of electrical fittings are liable to come
loose from vibrations to which the unit is subjected during the course of transportation.
Check them and make sure that they are all tightly fastened. (If they are loose, it could
give rise to burn-out of the wires.)
4 Specification of power source
5 Confirm that electrical capacity is sufficient.
6 Be sure that the starting voltage is maintained at more than 90 percent of the rated volt-
age marked on the name plate.
7 Confirm that the cable thickness is as specified in the power sources specification.
(Particularly note the relation between cable length and thickness.)
8 Never fail to equip a leakage breaker where it is wet or moist.
9 The following troubles would be caused by voltage drop-down.
- Vibration of a magnetic switch, damage on the contact point there of fuse breaking, dis-
turbance to the normal function of a overload protection device.
- Proper starting power is not given to the compressor.
