Installation Guidelines

Unpack and inspect all components. Installation must be performed by a qualified HVAC technician.

  1. Select Location: Outdoor unit on stable, level pad with adequate clearance. Indoor units away from direct airflow obstructions.
  2. Mounting: Secure outdoor unit with bolts. Mount indoor unit bracket level on wall.
  3. Refrigerant Piping: Connect pre-charged linesets using flare fittings. Perform leak check.
  4. Electrical Connections: Connect power wiring to designated terminals following local codes. Install disconnect switch.
  5. Communication Wiring: Connect control wires between outdoor and indoor units.
  6. Vacuum & Charge: Evacuate system to remove moisture and non-condensables. Release correct refrigerant charge per nameplate.

WARNING! Risk of electric shock and refrigerant exposure. Only trained personnel should install. Ensure power is disconnected during wiring.

First-Time Setup & Commissioning

After installation, power on the system and perform initial setup.

  1. Power On: Turn on circuit breaker and disconnect switch.
  2. Test Operation: Use remote to turn on system in Cooling mode. Verify airflow and compressor operation.
  3. Configure Settings: Set clock, temperature units (°F/°C), and fan speed preferences via remote.
  4. Check Drainage: Verify condensate drain line is properly installed and draining.
  5. Register System: Complete warranty registration online or via mail.

CAUTION! Do not operate system if unusual sounds or smells are detected. Turn off power and contact installer.

Operation Modes

Select mode using the MODE button on the remote control.

  1. AUTO: System automatically selects Cooling or Heating based on room temperature.
  2. COOL: Cools the room. Set desired temperature and fan speed.
  3. HEAT: Heats the room. The system may enter defrost cycle periodically in cold weather.
  4. DRY: Reduces humidity while maintaining moderate cooling.
  5. FAN: Circulates air without cooling or heating. Select fan speed.
  6. i-See Sensor (if equipped): Uses infrared sensor to detect room temperature at occupant location for optimized comfort.

WARNING! Do not switch modes rapidly. Allow a few minutes between mode changes for system pressure stabilization.

Maintenance & Cleaning

Regular maintenance ensures efficiency and longevity. Disconnect power before servicing.

  1. Air Filter: Clean every 2 weeks during operation. Remove, vacuum, or wash with lukewarm water. Dry completely before reinstalling.
  2. Indoor Unit Coil & Housing: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth.
  3. Outdoor Unit: Keep area clear of leaves, grass, and debris. Clean fins with a soft brush if clogged.
  4. Condensate Drain: Check periodically for clogs.
  5. Professional Service: Schedule annual maintenance by a qualified technician to check refrigerant charge, electrical components, and overall performance.

CAUTION! Do not use abrasive cleaners, gasoline, or hot water. Do not bend the delicate aluminum fins.

Troubleshooting

SymptomPossible CauseCorrective Action
System not turning onNo power, tripped breaker, dead remote batteriesCheck circuit breaker/disconnect. Replace remote batteries. Ensure power switch on indoor unit is ON.
No cooling/heatingWrong mode selected, dirty filters, setpoint incorrectSelect correct MODE. Clean air filters. Ensure temp setpoint is correct (lower than room temp for cooling).
Indoor unit LED blinkingError/fault codeCount number of blinks and refer to fault code chart in manual. Common codes: Communication error, sensor fault.
Water dripping indoorsClogged drain line, frozen coilCheck and clear condensate drain line. If in cooling, ensure filters are clean and fan is running.
Unusual noiseLoose parts, debris in fan, normal defrost cycle (heating)Tighten cabinet panels. Check for obstructions in indoor/outdoor fans. Grinding/rattling during heating may be normal defrost.
Remote not workingBatteries, distance, obstaclesReplace batteries. Point remote directly at indoor unit's signal receiver (within 23 ft). Remove obstacles.

Reset: Turn system OFF at breaker for 5 minutes, then restore power to reset control board.

Service: For persistent issues, contact an authorized American Standard/Mitsubishi Electric dealer. Have model and serial numbers ready.
