I 4. OPERATION CHARACTERISTICS■ CHARACTERISTICS OF THE COOLING OPERATION• If the COOLING OPERATION is used when the indoor temperature is low, frost forms on the heatexchanger of the indoor unit. This can decrease the cooling capacity. In this case, the air conditionerautomatically switches to the DEFROST OPERATION for a while. During the DEFROST OPERATION,the low fan speed is used to prevent the discharge of melt water. (The remote controller displays the fanspeed that is set.)• When the outdoor temperature is high, it takes some time until the indoor temperature reaches theset temperature.1 s. OPERATION RANGEIf the temperature or the humidity is beyond the following conditions, safety devices may work and theair conditioner may not operate, or sometimes, water may drop from the indoor unit.Observe the following precautions to ensure the air conditioner operates.OUTDOOR INDOORUNIT TEMPERATURERZR200AV16 DB 19to 35RZR300AV16RZR400AV16 WB 14to 24DB: Dry bulb temperature (° C)WB: Wet bulb temperature (° C)16. OPTIMUM OPERATIONOUTDOORTEMPERATUREHUMIDITY80%or below DB 19to 52• Prevent direct sunlight from the window by using curtains or blinds during the COO LING OPERATION.• Keep doors and windows closed. If the doors and windows remain open, room air will flow out anddecrease the effect of cooling and heating.• Never place objects near the air inlet and the air outlet of the air conditioner. It may decrease the effect orstop the operation.• Set the airflow of the air discharge grille horizontally not to obstruct the wind. Otherwise, the wind will notcome out and a failure may result.• Adjust the room temperature properly for a comfortable environment. Avoid excessive heating orcooling.• Operating the indoor unit with stained air filter may decrease capacity or cause malfunction.• Install TV's, radios and stereos 1m ar more away from the indoor unit and remote controller. Images maybecome fuzzy and noise may be generated.Turn off the power circuit breaker when it is not in use for a long period. When the power circuit breaker isturned on, small amount of power is consumed even if the air conditioner is not in operation.( *1)Turn off the power circuit breaker for saving energy. When re-operating, turn on the power circuit breaker 6hours before operation for smooth running.(*2)*1 The consumed power while the outdoor unit is not in operation depends on the model.*2 The setting before the power circuit breaker is cut off is stored. (The timer setting is cleared.)Use the TIMER OPERATION effectively.It takes some time until the indoor temperature reaches the set temperature. It is advisable to startoperation in advance using the TIMER OPERATION.22
