11SPECIAL REMARKSCARE AND CLEANINGHow it works • Once the room temperature reaches the level that was set, the unit repeats the cycle ofturning on and off automatically.• In order to prevent the humidity in the room from rising again, the indoor fan also turns offwhen the unit stops operating.• The fan speed is set to ‘‘LO.’’ automatically, and cannot be adjusted.• ‘‘DRY’’ operation is not possible if the outdoor temperature is 15 °C or less.Heating performance • Because this appliance heats a room by utilizing the heat of the outside air (heat pumpsystem), the heating efficiency will fall off when the outdoor temperature is very low. Ifsufficient heat cannot be obtained with this heat pump, use another heating appliance inconjunction with this unit.Defrosting • When the outdoor temperature is low, frost or ice may form on the outdoor heat exchangercoil, reducing the heating performance. When this happens, a microcomputer-controlleddefrosting system operates. At the same time, the fan on the indoor unit stops (or runs atvery low speed in some cases) and the ‘‘STANDBY’’ indicator appears on the display untildefrosting is completed. Heating operation then restarts after several minutes. (This intervalwill vary slightly depending upon the outdoor temperature and the way in which frost forms.)(standby) on thedisplay• For several minutes after the start of heating operation, the indoor fan will not start running(or it will run at very low speed in some cases) until the indoor heat exchanger coil haswarmed up sufficiently. This is because a cold draft prevention system is operating. Duringthis period, the ‘‘ ’’ (standby) indicator remains displayed.• ‘‘ ’’ (standby) remains displayed during defrosting or when the compressor has beenturned off (or when the unit is running at very low speed) by the thermostat when thesystem is in the heating mode.• Upon completion of defrosting and when the compressor is turned on again, ‘‘ ’’(standby) will turn off automatically as heating operation resumes.Should the power fail while the unit is runningIf the power supply for this unit is temporarily cut off, the unit will automatically resumeoperation (once the power is restored) using the same settings before the power was cut off.1. For safety, be sure to turn the air conditioner off and also to disconnect the powerbefore cleaning.2. Do not pour water on the indoor unit to clean it. This will damage the internalcomponents and cause an electric shock hazard.Air intake and outlet side(Indoor unit)Clean the air intake and outlet side of the indoor unit with a vacuum cleaner brush, or wipethem with a clean, soft cloth.If these parts are stained, use a clean cloth moistened with water. When cleaning the air outletside, be careful not to force the vanes out of place.1. Never use solvents or harsh chemicals when cleaning the indoor unit.
