E-11 E-11 E-12 E-14 E-14 E-15 E-16 WARNINGS FOR USE 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Do not pull or deform the power supply cord. Pulling and misuse of the power supply cord can result in damage to the unit and cause electrical shock. Be careful not to expose your body directly to the outlet air for a long time. It may affect your physical conditions. When using the air conditioner for infants, children, elderly, bedridden, or disabled people make sure the room temperature is suitable for those in the room. Never insert objects into the unit. Inserting objects can result in injury due to the high speed rotation of internal fans. Ground the air conditioner without fail. Do not connect the grounding wire to gas pipe, water pipe, lightning rod or telephone grounding wire. Incomplete grounding may cause electric shock. If anything is abnormal with the air conditioner (ex. a burning smell), stop the operation immediately and turn the circuit breaker OFF. Follow local rules and regulations for power supply cord cabling. Improper cable connection can cause the power supply cord, plug and the electrical outlet to overheat and cause fire. Use only the manufacture-specified power cord for replacement. Replacement should be performed by a qualified technician or a service person. WARNINGS FOR INSTALLATION / REMOVAL / REPAIR · Do not attempt to install/remove/repair the unit by yourself. Incorrect work will cause electric shock, water leak, fire etc. Consult your dealer or other qualified service personnel for the installation/removal/repair of the unit. This equipment complies with the requirements of Directives 89/336/EEC and 73/23/ EEC as amended by 93/68/EEC.

Water can cause electrical shock or equipment damage. 11 This appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision. Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. CAUTIONS FOR LOCATION / INSTALLATION · Make sure to connect the air conditioner to power supply of the rated voltage and frequency. Use of a power supply with improper voltage and frequency can result in equipment damage and possible fire. · Do not install the unit in a place where inflammable gas may leak. It may cause fire. Install the unit in a place with minimal dust, fumes and moisture in the air. · Arrange the drain hose to ensure smooth drainage. Insufficient drainage may cause wetting of the room, furniture etc. · Make sure a leak breaker or a circuit breaker is installed, depending on the installation location, to avoid electrical shock.

D.B. = Dry-bulb WHEN POWER FAILURE OCCURS This air conditioner has a memory function to store settings when a power failure occurs. After power recovery, the unit will automatically re-start in the same settings which were active before the power failure, except for timer settings. If the timers were set before a power failure, they will need to be re-set after power recovery. NOTES FOR MODELS AY-AP18DR/AY-AP24DR PREHEATING FUNCTION In the HEAT operation, the indoor fan may not start for two to five minutes after the unit is turned on to prevent cold air from blowing out of the unit. DE-ICING FUNCTION · When ice forms on the heat exchanger in the outdoor unit during the HEAT operation, an automatic de-icer provides heat for about 5 to 10 minutes to remove the ice. During de-icing, the inside and outside fans stop operating. · After de-icing is completed, the unit automatically resumes operation in the HEAT mode. HEATING EFFICIENCY · The unit employs a heat pump that draws heat from the outside air and releases it into the room. The outside air temperature therefore greatly affects the heating efficiency. · If the heating efficiency is reduced due to low outside temperatures, use an additional heater. · It takes time to warm up and heat the entire room because of the forced air circulation system. TIPS ON SAVING ENERGY Below are some simple ways to save energy when you use your air conditioner. SET THE CORRECT TEMPERATURE · Setting the thermostat 1°C higher than the desired temperature in the COOL mode (and 2°C lower in the HEAT mode with models AY-AP18DR/AY-AP24DR) will save approximately 10 percent in power consumption. · Setting the temperature lower than necessary during cooling operation will result in increased power consumption. BLOCK DIRECT SUNLIGHT AND PREVENT DRAFTS · Blocking direct sunlight during cooling operation will reduce power consumption. · Close the windows and doors during cooling operation (and heating operation with models AY-AP18DR/AYAP24DR). SET PROPER AIR FLOW DIRECTION TO OBTAIN THE BEST AIR CIRCULATION KEEP FILTER CLEAN TO ENSURE THE MOST EFFICIENT OPERATION MAKE MOST OF THE TIMER OFF FUNCTION DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD WHEN THE UNIT IS NOT USED FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME · The indoor unit still consumes a small amount of power when it is not operating.

Battery cover · The battery life is approximately one year in normal use. · When you replace the batteries, always change both batteries, and make sure they are the same type. · If the remote control does not operate properly after replacing the batteries, take out the batteries and reinstall them again after 30 seconds. · If you will not be using the unit for a long time, remove the batteries from the remote control. HOW TO USE THE REMOTE CONTROL Point the remote control towards the unit's signal receiver window and press the desired button. The unit generates a beep when it receives the signal. · Make sure there is no curtain or other object between the remote control and the unit. · The remote control can send signals from up to 7 metres away. CAUTION · Do not allow the signal receiver window to receive strong direct sunlight, since it can adversely affect its operation. If the signal receiver window is exposed to direct sunlight, close a curtain to block the light. · Using a fluorescent lamp with a quick starter in the same room may interfere with transmission of the signal. · The unit can be affected by signals transmitted from the remote control of a television, VCR or other equipment used in the same room. · Do not leave the remote control in direct sunlight or near a heater. Also, protect the unit and remote control from moisture and shock which can discolour or damage them. E-6 TIPS ABOUT PLASMACLUSTER OPERATION The ionizer inside the air conditioner will release cluster ions, which are collective mass of positive and negative ions, into the room. The cluster ions reduce airborne mold fungus. Ionizer Cluster ions Mold fungus AIR CLEAN OPERATION Cluster ions released into the air will reduce airborne mold fungus. ION BALANCE OPERATION It is said that plenty of negative ions exist in places such as waterfalls or waterside in natural environment. In this operation mode, negative ions will be released in an increased rate, in order to bring the room air close to this condition. Please refer to page 11 for operation.
