English20ECONO OperationECONO operation is a function which enables efficient operation by limiting themaximum power consumption value.This function is useful for cases in which attention should be paid to ensure acircuit breaker will not trip when the product runs alongside other appliances.To start ECONO operationPress during operation.“• ” is displayed on the LCD.To cancel ECONO operationPress again.“• ” disappears from the LCD.[Example]noitarepoONOCEnoitarepolamroNIn case the air conditioner and other•appliances which require high powerconsumption are used at the same time,a circuit breaker may trip if the air conditioneroperates with its maximum capacity.The maximum power consumption of the air•conditioner is limited by using ECONOoperation.The circuit breaker will hardly trip even if theair conditioner and other appliances are usedat same time.TimeMaximum duringnormal operationMaximum duringECONO operationNormaloperationECONOoperationFrom start up until set temperature is reachedRunning current andpower consumptionThis diagram is a representation for illustrative•purposes only.The maximum running current and powerconsumption of the air conditioner in ECONOoperation vary with the connecting outdoorunit.NOTENotes on ECONO operationECONO operation can only be set when the unit is running.
