PRECAUTIONS
NOTES ON OPERATION
• Allow 3 minutes for the compressor to restart cooling.
If you turn the air conditioner off and immediately restart it, allow three minutes for the
compressor to restart cooling. There is an electronic device in the unit that keeps the
compressor turned off for three minutes for safety.
• In the event of a power failure during use, allow 3 minutes before restarting the unit.
After power is reinstated, restart the air conditioner. If the power was off for less than three
minutes, be sure to wait at least three minutes before restarting the unit. If you restart the
air conditioner within three minutes, a protective device in the unit may cause the compres-
sor to shut off. This protective device will prevent cooling for about 5 minutes. Any previous
settings will be canceled and the unit will return to its initial settings.
• Low temperature operation: Is your unit freezing up?
Freezing may occur when the unit is set close to 64°F in low ambient temperature condi-
tions, especially at night.
In these conditions, a further temperature drop may cause the unit to freeze.
Setting the unit to a higher temperature will prevent it from freezing.
• Dehumidification mode increases room temperature.
The unit generates heat during dehumidification mode and the room temperature will rise.
Warm air will be blown out from the Exhaust air outlet, but this is normal and does not
indicate a problem with the unit.
• This air conditioner blows the warm air generated by the unit outside the room via
the exhaust hose while in cool mode.
Accordingly, the same amount of air as that blown out will enter the room from outside
through any openings into the room.
• When cooling operation is performed at high humidity conditions, water tank inside
the unit may frequently become full.
When water tank inside the unit is full, the unit stops operating and TIMER, OPERATION
and MEGA COOL lamps will blink. In this case, perform drainage to drain out water within
the unit. (See page 29)
OPERATING CONDITIONS
• The air conditioner must be operated within the temperature range indicated below.
• A built-in safety device may cut off
operation if the temperature exceeds
these limits.
• When cooling operation is performed
at high room temperature, the fan
may run slightly slowed.
MODE ROOM TEMPERATURE
COOL 64°F~95°F
Dehumidification 59°F~95°F
ENERGY EFFICIENCY TIPS
• Avoid direct sunlight.
Close blinds, drapes or shades to keep out direct sunlight while in cooling mode.
• Keep the filter clean.
Keeping the filter clean greatly aids efficient operation.
A dirty filter blocks the flow of air, making your air conditioner work harder and less effi-
ciently. See page 30 on how to clean the filter.
• Turn off unnecessary lights.
Your air conditioner must remove the heat produced by your lights or other heat-producing
appliances. Turn off any lights or appliances that are not in use.
• Turn off the air conditioner when no one is home.
Use only when necessary. The less time the air conditioner is used, the lower the running
costs.
