Preparation before Operation
■ Turn the breaker on
• Turning on the breaker opens the flap, then closes it again. (This is a normal procedure.)
NOTE
■ Tips for saving energy
• Be careful not to cool (heat) the room too much.
Keeping the temperature setting at a moderate
level helps save energy.
• Cover windows with a blind or a curtain.
Blocking sunlight and air from outdoors
increases the cooling (heating) effect.
• Clogged air filters cause inefficient operation and waste energy. Clean them once in about
every 2 weeks.
■ Please note
• The air conditioner always consumes 15-35W of electricity even while it is not operating.
The outdoor unit consumes 1-10W to have its electric components work even while it is not
operating.
During standby electricity saving mode : about 1W
The outdoor unit consumes about 35W of power at the time of compressor preheating.
• If you are not going to use the air conditioner for a long period, for example in spring or
autumn, turn the breaker off.
• Use the air conditioner in the following conditions.
