 SELECTING OPERATION MODES
AUTO mode (Auto change over)
The unit selects the operation mode according to the difference between the
room temperature and the set temperature. During AUTO mode, the unit
changes mode (COOL↔HEAT) when the room temperature is 2°C away
from the set temperature for more than 15 minutes.

Note:
Auto Mode is not recommended if this indoor unit is connected to a MXZ
type outdoor unit. When several indoor units are operated simultaneously,
the unit may not be able to switch operation mode between COOL and
HEAT. In this case, the indoor unit becomes standby mode (Refer to table
of Operation indicator lamp).

COOL m ode
Enjoy cool air at your desired temperature.

Note:
Do not operate COOL mode at very low outside temperatures (less than
-10°C). Water condensed in the unit may drip and wet or damage furni-
ture, etc.

What is “ECONO COOL”?

Swing air flow (change of air flow) makes you feel cooler than constant air flow. So,
even though the set temperature is automatically set 2°C higher, it is possible to
perform cooling operation with keeping comfort. As a result, energy can be saved.
