This operation is not available with the BRC1A62 remote controller.
Refer to page 10 for details.

STOPPING THE SYSTEM

6. Press ON/OFF button once again.
• OPERATION lamp goes off, and the system stops OPERATION.
• The fan may keep on running for about 1 minute after the heating operation stops.
(To start the next operation smoothly.)

ATTENTION:
• Do not turn OFF power immediately after the unit stops.
Then, wait no less than 5 minutes. Water is leaking or there is something else wrong with the unit.
• When the operation is started again immediately after being stopped, when the operation mode is changed over, or
when the TEMPERATURE SETTING button is pressed then returned soon, the air conditioner will start the operation
automatically about 5 minutes later (because the air conditioner is controlled so that excessive load is not applied).

Characteristics of the heating operation

(1) DEFROST OPERATION
• As the frost on the coil of an outdoor unit increase, heating effect decreases and the system goes into DEFROST
OPERATION.
• The indoor unit fan stops and the remote controller displays shows “ ” (DEFROST/HOT START).
• After 6 to 8 minutes (maximum 10 minutes) of DEFROST OPERATION, the system returns to HEATING OPERATION.
(2) HOT START
• In order to prevent cold air from blowing out of an indoor unit at the start of heating operation, the indoor fan is auto-
matically stopped. The display of the remote controller shows “ ” (DEFROST/HOT START).
(3) OPERATION START
• For ordinary heating, it will take longer for the room temperature to reach the set temperature than with cooling. We
therefore recommend starting the unit ahead of time using the timer operation.

Program DRY Operation

Program DRY is a function that alternates between weak cooling and stopping the unit to remove humidity from the
air, in order to prevent the room temperature from dropping and becoming too cold.
• The microcomputer automatically controls the temperature and fan strength, so these cannot be set using the remote
controller.
• This function is not available if the room temperature is 16°C or lower.

PRECAUTIONS FOR GROUP CONTROL SYSTEM OR TWO REMOTE CONTROLLER CONTROL SYSTEM
This system provides two other control systems beside individual control (one remote controller controls one indoor unit)
system. Confirm the following if your unit is of the following control system type.
• Group control system
One remote controller controls up to 16 indoor units. All indoor units are equally set.
• Two remote controller control system
Two remote controllers control one indoor unit (in case of group control system, one group of indoor units). The unit is individually operated.
NOTE:
• Contact your Daikin dealer in case of changing the combination or setting of group control and two remote controller
control systems.

The outdoor unit emits water or steam. ■ In HEATING mode
• The frost on the outdoor unit melts into water or steam when the air con-
ditioner is in defrost operation.
■ In COOLING or DRY mode
• Moisture in the air condenses into water on the cool surface of outdoor
unit piping and drips.
Mists come out of the indoor unit. • This happens when the air in the room is cooled into mist by the cold air
flow during cooling operation.
• If the inside of an indoor unit is extremely contaminated, the temperature
distribution inside a room becomes uneven. It is necessary to clean the
inside of the indoor unit. Ask your Daikin dealer for details on cleaning the
indoor unit. This operation requires a qualified service person.
The indoor unit gives out odour. ■ This happens when smells of the room, furniture, or cigarettes are
absorbed into the unit and discharged with the air flow.
(If this happens, we recommend you to have the indoor unit washed by a
technician. Consult the service shop where you bought the air conditioner.)

After-Sales Service
CAUTION
• Do not disassemble, modify or repair the air conditioner by yourself.
Improper disassembly, modification or repair may cause water leakage, electric shock or fire.
Ask your dealer for such servicing.

• Do not move and install the air conditioner by yourself.

Improper reinstallation may cause water leakage, electric shock or fire.
Ask your dealer for reinstallation.

• Objects which can start fire are strictly prohibited if the refrigerant leaks.
The refrigerant used in the air conditioner is safe, and does not leak usually.
If the refrigerant leaks into the room and becomes contact with burning appliances such as
fan heater, stove and cooker, however, harmful gases may be generated.
Turn off burning appliances, ventilate the room, and contact your dealer.
After asking for repair of refrigerant leakage, confirm to the service personnel that the leak-
ing positions are repaired securely, then start the operation.

We recommend periodical maintenance

In certain operating conditions, the inside of the air conditioner may get foul after several seasons of use, resulting in poor
performance. It is recommended to have periodical maintenance by a specialist aside from regular cleaning by the user.
For specialist maintenance, contact the service shop where you bought the air conditioner.
The maintenance cost must be born by the user.
