fire when they make contact with electrical parts.

NOTE
• Never press the button of the remote controller with
a hard, pointed object. The remote controller may be
damaged.
• Never pull or twist the electric wire of the remote con-
troller. It may cause the unit to malfunction.
• Do not place appliances that produce open flames in
places that are exposed to the airflow of the unit or un-
der the indoor unit. It may cause incomplete combus-
tion or deformation of the unit due to the heat.
• Do not expose the controller to direct sunlight. The LCD
display can become discolored and may fail to display
the data.

HEATING OPERATION within 6 hours after power is sup-

plied to the air conditioner.
Some model series perform the following operation to protect
the equipment.
If the HEATING OPERATION is performed within 6 hours after
power is supplied to the air conditioner, the indoor fan stops for
about 10 minutes during the outdoor unit operation to protect
the equipment.
The above operation is performed not only for installation, but
every time the power circuit breaker is turned off/on.
For comfortable use, do not turn off the power circuit breaker
during seasonal use of the HEATING OPERATION.

WHAT TO DO WHEN STOPPING THE AIR

CONDITIONER FOR A LONG PERIOD

Turn on FAN OPERATION for a half day on a nice day and

dry the indoor unit.
• This can prevent the causes of mold.

Turn off the power circuit breaker.

• When the power circuit breaker is on, some electricity is
used even if the air conditioner is not operating.
Turn off the power circuit breaker to save energy.
• When the power circuit breaker is off, there is no longer a
display on the remote controller.
