Operating Modes

AUTO

When AUTO is selected, the system initially monitors room conditions and automatically selects the appropriate operating mode. Once the room approaches the set temperature, the unit enters monitor operation at low fan speed.

HEAT

Heating mode is used to warm the room. At startup, the indoor fan may run at very low speed for approximately 3 to 5 minutes while the indoor unit warms up.

COOL

Cooling mode is used to cool the room. Set the thermostat lower than the current room temperature.

DRY

Dry mode gently cools while dehumidifying. Fan speed cannot be manually changed and the fan may stop periodically while humidity is controlled.

FAN

Fan mode circulates room air only and does not provide heating or cooling.

10°C Heat Operation

Press the 10°C HEAT button to maintain the room temperature at approximately 10°C.

  • The function is intended to prevent the room temperature falling too low.
  • Heating will not operate if the room temperature is already high enough.
  • To stop 10°C Heat, press START/STOP.
  • While 10°C Heat is active, only airflow-direction adjustment can be used.
Multi-system note: If this indoor unit is connected to a multi-type system and another indoor unit is heating, the room using 10°C Heat may rise above 10°C.

Economy Operation

Press ECONOMY while the air conditioner is running.

  • At maximum output, Economy operation is approximately 70% of normal output for cooling and heating on a single-type system.
  • In cooling, the room temperature may operate slightly above the set temperature.
  • In heating, the room temperature may operate slightly below the set temperature.
  • If comfort is insufficient, return to normal operation.

Timer Operation

ON / OFF Timer

  1. Press TIMER MODE to select OFF or ON timer.
  2. Use the TIMER SET buttons to select the required time.
  3. To cancel, select CANCEL with TIMER MODE.

Program Timer

The Program Timer combines one OFF event and one ON event in a single sequence within a 24-hour period.

Sleep Timer

The Sleep Timer automatically changes the thermostat setting to reduce excessive heating or cooling before switching the unit off.

ModeSleep Timer Behaviour
Cooling / DrySet temperature rises 1°C every 60 minutes, up to a total increase of 2°C.
HeatingSet temperature lowers 1°C every 30 minutes, up to a total reduction of 4°C.

Airflow Direction & Swing

Vertical airflow is adjusted with the SET button. Horizontal airflow is adjusted manually using the right-left louvres after the unit has stopped.

ModeRecommended Vertical Positions
Cooling / DryPositions 1-3
HeatingPositions 4-6
Important: Do not manually force the vertical airflow louvres. In Cooling or Dry mode, leaving the louvres in the heating range for extended periods may cause condensation and water dripping.

Press SWING to automatically move the vertical louvres. Swing range is approximately:

  • Cooling / Dry: positions 1 to 3
  • Heating: positions 3 to 6

Manual Auto Operation

If the remote controller is lost or unavailable, press the MANUAL AUTO button on the indoor unit for approximately 3 seconds.

  • The unit operates in an AUTO-type mode.
  • Fan speed is AUTO.
  • Standard thermostat setting is approximately 24°C.
  • Press MANUAL AUTO again for approximately 3 seconds to stop.

Cleaning & Care

Before cleaning: Stop the unit and turn off the electrical breaker.

Air Filters

  • Clean approximately every 2 weeks during normal use.
  • Vacuum the filters or wash using warm water and neutral detergent.
  • Dry thoroughly in the shade before reinstalling.

Air Cleaning Filter

Replacement filterUTR-FA16-3
Recommended cleaningApproximately every 6 months
Recommended replacementApproximately every 3 years

Automatic Defrost - Heating

When outdoor temperature is low and humidity is high, frost can form on the outdoor unit. The system automatically enters defrost to remove the frost.

  • Defrost typically lasts approximately 7 to 15 minutes.
  • Heating temporarily stops during defrost.
  • The OPERATION indicator flashes.
  • The DEFROST indicator lights.
  • Steam or water from the outdoor unit during defrost is normal.

Normal Operating Characteristics

SymptomExplanation
Does not restart immediatelyCompressor protection may prevent restart for approximately 3 minutes.
Refrigerant-flow noiseCan be heard during operation or for 2-3 minutes after startup.
Squeaking noiseCaused by expansion and contraction of the front panel.
Mist in coolingCan occur from sudden cooling and condensation.
Steam / water outdoors in heatingNormal during Automatic Defrosting.
Weak airflow in heatingMay occur during warm-up, thermostat-off or defrost operation.

Troubleshooting

Unit Does Not Operate

  • Check the circuit breaker.
  • Check for a power failure.
  • Check whether a fuse has blown or breaker has tripped.
  • Check whether a timer is controlling the unit.

Poor Cooling or Heating

  • Check whether the air filter is dirty.
  • Ensure the intake grille and outlet are not blocked.
  • Confirm the temperature setting is appropriate.
  • Close open doors and windows.
  • Reduce direct sunlight during cooling.
  • Consider internal heat sources and room occupancy.
  • Check whether QUIET mode is active.

Remote Controller Does Not Respond Correctly

  • Check whether the batteries are flat.
  • Confirm the batteries are installed correctly.
  • Point the remote controller directly at the indoor unit receiver.

Multi-System Operating Notes

If the indoor unit is connected to a multi-type outdoor unit, multiple indoor units may operate at the same time, subject to mode compatibility.

Compatible simultaneous modes include:

  • Cooling + Dry
  • Cooling + Fan
  • Dry + Fan

Conflicting modes include:

  • Heating + Cooling / Dry
  • Heating + Fan

Where conflicting modes are selected, the later indoor unit may enter standby and its OPERATION indicator will flash.

Auto Restart After Power Failure

If power is interrupted, the air conditioner restarts automatically in its previous operating mode when power is restored.

If power is interrupted while a timer is active, the timer may reset and the TIMER indicator may flash.

Stop operation and isolate power immediately if there is a burning smell or another abnormal condition. If problems persist after the checks above, contact authorised service personnel.
