FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS  
HORIZONTAL AIRFLOW: COOLING/  
DOWNWARD AIRFLOW: HEATING  
INVERTER  
At the start of operation, a large power is used to bring the  
room quickly to the desired temperature. Afterwards, the  
unit automatically switches to a low power setting for eco-  
nomic and comfortable operation.  
For cooling, use horizontal airflow so the cool air does not  
blow directly on the occupants in the room. For heating,  
use downward airflow to send powerful, warm air to the  
floor and create a comfortable environment.  
COIL DRY OPERATION  
OMNI-DIRECTIONAL AIR FLOW  
(SWING OPERATION)  
The Indoor unit can be dried by pressing the COIL DRY but-  
ton on the Remote Control Unit so as to avoid going moldy  
and restrain the breed of bacterium.  
Three-dimensional control over air direction swing is possi-  
ble through dual use of both an UP/DOWN air direction swing  
and RIGHT/LEFT air direction swing. Since UP/DOWN air  
direction flaps operate automatically according to the oper-  
ating mode of the unit, it is possible to set air direction based  
on the operating mode.  
AUTO CHANGEOVER  
The operation mode (cooling, dry, heating) is switched au-  
tomatically to maintain the set temperature, and the tem-  
perature is kept constant at all times.  
REMOVABLE OPEN PANEL  
The indoor unit’s Open Panel can be removed for easy clean-  
ing and maintenance.  
MINIMUM HEAT OPERATION  
The room temperature can be maintained at 50°F so as to  
prevent the room temperature from falling too far.  
MILDEW-RESISTANT FILTER  
The AIR FILTER has been treated to resist mildew growth,  
thus allowing cleaner use and easier care.  
PROGRAM TIMER  
The program timer allows you to integrate OFF timer and  
ON timer operations in a single sequence. The sequence can  
involve one transition from OFF timer to ON timer, or from  
ON timer to OFF timer, within a twenty-four hour period.  
SUPER QUIET OPERATION  
When the FAN CONTROL button is used to select QUIET,  
the unit begins super-quiet operation; the indoor unit’s air-  
flow is reduced to produce quieter operation.  
SLEEP TIMER  
POLYPHENOL CATECHIN AIR CLEANING FILTER  
When the SLEEP button is pressed during Heating mode,  
the air conditioner’s thermostat setting is gradually lowered  
during the period of operation; during cooling mode, the  
thermostat setting is gradually raised during the period of  
operation. When the set time is reached, the unit automati-  
cally turns off.  
The polyphenol catechin air cleaning filter uses static elec-  
tricity to clean fine particles and dust in the air such as to-  
bacco smoke and plant pollen that are too small to see.  
The filter contains catechin, which is highly effective against  
various bacteria by suppressing the growth of the bacteria  
adsorbed to the filter.  
Note that when the air cleaning filter is installed, the amount  
of air produced decreases, causing a slight decrease in the  
indoor unit’s performance.  
WIRELESS REMOTE CONTROL UNIT  
The Wireless Remote Control Unit allows convenient con-  
trol of air conditioner operation.  
NEGATIVE AIR IONS DEODORIZING FILTER  
It comprises pottery super micro particles which can pro-  
duce negative air ions having the effect of deodorizing and  
can absorb and remit the peculiar smell at home.  
WIRED REMOTE CONTROL UNIT (OPTION)  
The optional wired remote control unit (model No.: UTY-RNBYU) can be used.  
When you use remote control unit, there are following different points as compared with using wireless remote control unit.  
[The additional functions for wired ones]

ate at very low speed for about one minute, during which time the unit  
detects the room conditions and selects the proper operating mode.  
If the differance between thermostat setting and actual room tempera-  
ture is more than +4 °F Cooling or dry operation  
If the difference between thermostat setting and actual room tempera-  
ture is within 4 °F Monitor operation  
If the difference between thermostat setting and actual room tempera-  
ture is more than –4 °F Heating operation  
When the air conditioner has adjusted your room’s temperature to near  
the thermostat setting, it will begin monitor operation. In the monitor  
operation mode, the fan will operate at low speed. If the room tem-  
perature subsequently changes, the air conditioner will once again  
select the appropriate operation (Heating, Cooling) to adjust the tem-  
perature to the value set in the thermostat.  
(The monitor operation range is 4 °F relative to the thermostat set-  
ting.)

low fan speed for about 3 to 5 minutes, after which it will switch to the  
selected fan setting. This period of time is provided to allow the indoor  
unit to warm up before begin full operation.  
When the room temperature is very low, frost may form on the outside  
unit, and its performance may be reduced. In order to remove such  
frost, the unit will automatically enter the defrost cycle from time to  
time. During Automatic Defrosting operation, the DEFROST Indicator  
Lamp (yellow)(Fig. 3 a6) will light, and the heat operation will be inter-  
rupted.  
During Cooling/Dry mode:  
Set the thermostat to a temperature set-  
ting that is lower than the current room  
temperature. The Cooling and Dry modes  
will not operate if the thermostat is set  
higher than the actual room temperature  
(in Cooling mode, the fan alone will oper-  
ate).  
After the start of heating operation, it takes some time before the room  
gets warmer.  
During Fan mode:  
You can not use the unit to heat and cool  
your room.  
Cooling: Use to cool your room.  
Dry:  
Use for gently cooling while dehumidifying your room.  
You cannot heat the room during Dry mode.  
During Dry mode, the unit will operate at low speed; in order to adjust  
room humidity, the indoor unit’s fan may stop from time to time. Also,

TROUBLESHOOTING  
In the event of a malfunction (burning smell, etc.), immediately stop operation, turn off the elec-  
WARNING!  
trical breaker or disconnect the power supply plug, and consult authorized service personnel.  
Merely turning off the units power switch will not completely disconnect the unit from the power  
source. Always be sure to turn off the electrical breaker or disconnect the power supply plug to  
ensure that power is completely off.  
Before requesting service, perform the following checks:  
Symptom  
See Page  
Problem  
Doesnt operate immedi-  
ately:  
If the unit is stopped and then immediately started again, the com-  
pressor will not operate for about 3 minutes, in order to prevent  
fuse blowouts.  
NORMAL  
FUNCTION  
Whenever the Power Supply Plug is disconnected and then re-  
connected to a power outlet, the protection circuit will operate for  
about 3 minutes, preventing unit operation during that period.  
During operation and immediately after stopping the unit, the  
sound of water flowing in the air conditioners piping may be  
heard. Also, noise may be particularly noticeable for about 2 to 3  
minutes after starting operation (sound of coolant flowing).  
During operation, a slight squeaking sound may be heard. This is  
the result of minute expansion and contraction of the front cover  
due to temperature changes.  
Noise is heard:  
During Heating operation, a sizzling sound may be heard occasional.  
This sound is produced by the Automatic Defrosting operation.  
16  
Some smell may be emitted from the indoor unit. This smell is  
the result of room smells (furniture, tobacco, etc.) which have  
been taken into the air conditioner.  
Smells:  
During Cooling or Dry operation, a thin mist may be seen emitted  
from the indoor unit. This results from the sudden Cooling of  
room air by the air emitted from the air conditioner, resulting in  
condensation and misting.  
Mist or steam are  
emitted:  
During Heating operation, the outdoor units fan may stop, and  
steam may be seen rising from the unit. This is due to Automatic  
Defrosting operation.  
16  
Airflow is weak or stops:  
When Heating operation is started, fan speed is temporarily very  
low, to allow internal parts to warm up.  
During Heating operation, if the room temperature rises above  
the thermostat setting, the outdoor unit will stop, and the indoor  
unit will operate at very low fan speed. If you wish to warm the  
room further, set the thermostat for a higher setting.  
During Heating operation, the unit will temporarily stop opera-  
tion (between 7 and 15 minutes) as the Automatic Defrosting mode  
operates. During Automatic Defrosting operation, the DEFROST  
Indicator Lamp (yellow) will flash.  
16  
The fan may operate at very low speed during Dry operation or  
when the unit is monitoring the rooms temperature.

During SUPER QUIET operation, the fan will operate at very low  
speed.  
In the monitor AUTO operation, the fan will operate at very low  
speed.

Water is produced from  
the outdoor unit:  
During Heating operation, water may be produced from the out-  
door unit due to Automatic Defrosting operation.

OPERATING TIPS  
Operation and Performance  
Microcomputer-controlled Automatic Defrosting  
Heating Performance  
When using the Heating mode under conditions of low  
outdoor temperature and high humidity, frost may form  
on the outdoor unit, resulting in reduced operating per-  
formance.  
In order to prevent this kind of reduced performance, this  
unit is equipped with a Microcomputer-controlled Auto-  
matic Defrosting function. If frost forms, the air condi-  
tioner will temporarily stop, and the defrosting circuit will  
operate briefly (for about 7-15 minutes).  
This air conditioner operates on the heat-pump princi-  
ple, absorbing heat from outdoor air and transferring that  
heat indoors. As a result, the operating performance is  
reduced as outdoor air temperature drops. If you feel that  
insufficient heating performance is being produced, we  
recommend you use this air conditioner in conjunction  
with another kind of heating appliance.  
Heat-pump air conditioners heat your entire room by  
recirculating air throughout the room, with the result that  
some time may be required after first starting the air con-  
ditioner until the room is heated.  
During Automatic Defrosting operation, the DEFROST In-  
dicator Lamp (yellow) will light.  
AUTO Restart  
In Event of Power Interruption  
If a power failure occurs during TIMER operation, the timer  
will be reset and the unit will begin (or stop) operation at the  
new time setting. In the event that this kind of timer fault  
occurs the TIMER Indicator Lamp will flash (see Page. 4).  
The air conditioner power has been interrupted by a  
power failure. The air conditioner will then restart auto-  
matically in its previous mode when the power is restored.  
Operated by setting before the power failure.  
Use of other electrical appliances (electric shaver, etc.) or  
nearby use of a wireless radio transmitter may cause the  
air conditioner to malfunction. In this event, temporarily  
disconnect the Power Supply Plug, reconnect it, and then  
use the Remote Control Unit to resume operation.

If the air conditioner is used under higher temperature conditioner than those listed, the built-in protection circuit may  
operate to prevent internal circuit damage. Also, during Cooling and Dry modes, if the unit is used under conditions of  
lower temperature than those listed above, the heat-exchanger may freeze, leading to water leakage and other damage.  
Do not use this unit for any purposes other than the Cooling, Dehumidifying, and air-circulation of rooms in ordinary  
dwellings.  
If the unit is used for long periods under high-humidity conditions, condensation may form on the surface of the indoor  
unit, and drip onto the floor or other objects underneath. (About 80% or more).  
If the outdoor temperature is lower than the temperature scope in the list above, in order to keep safety operation of device,  
the outdoor unit may stop operation for certain period of time.
