If the doors andwindows remain open, room air will flow out anddecrease the effect of cooling and heating.• Never place objects near the air inlet and the airoutlet of the air conditioner. It may decrease theeffect or stop the operation.• Adjust the room temperature properly for a com-fortable environment. Avoid excessive heating orcooling.Not doing so wastes electricity.• When the display shows “ ” or “Time to cleanfilter”, ask a qualified service person to clean thefilters.(Refer to “8. MAINTENANCE” on page 9.)Operating the indoor unit with stained air filter maydecrease capacity or cause malfunction.• Install TVs, radios, and stereos 1 m or more awayfrom the indoor unit and remote controller.Images may become fuzzy and noise may begenerated.• Turn off the power circuit breaker when it is not inuse for a long period. When the power circuitbreaker is turned on, small amount of power isconsumed even if the air conditioner is not inoperation. (*1)Turn off the power circuit breaker for savingenergy. When reoperating, turn on the power cir-cuit breaker 6 hours before operation for smoothrunning.(Refer to “8. MAINTENANCE” on page 9.) (*2)*1 The consumed power while the outdoor unit isnot in operation depends on the model.*2 The setting before the power circuit breaker iscut off is stored. (The timer setting is cleared.)• Fully use the function of airflow direction adjust.Cold air gathers on the floor, and warm air gathersunder the ceiling.Set the air direction to horizontal during theCOOLING or PROGRAM DRY OPERATION, andset it downwards during the HEATING OPERA-TION.Do not let the air blow directly to a person.• Use the TIMER OPERATION effectively.It takes some time until the indoor temperaturereaches the set temperature. It is advisable tostart operation in advance using the TIMEROPERATION.7. OPTIMUM OPERATION
