1 Safety Precautions
• Read the following “SAFETY PRECAUTIONS” carefully before perform any servicing.
• Electrical work must be installed or serviced by a licensed electrician. Be sure to use the correct rating of the power plug and
main circuit for the model installed.
• The caution items stated here must be followed because these important contents are related to safety. The meaning of each
indication used is as below. Incorrect installation or servicing due to ignoring of the instruction will cause harm or damage, and
the seriousness is classified by the following indications.
• Carry out test run to confirm that no abnormality occurs after the servicing. Then, explain to user the operation, care and
maintenance as stated in instructions. Please remind the customer to keep the operating instructions for future reference.
14. This equipment must be properly earthed. Earth line must not be connected to gas pipe, water pipe, earth of lightning rod and
telephone. Otherwise, it may cause electric shock in case equipment breakdown or insulation breakdown.
15. Keep away from small children, the thin film may cling to nose and mouth and prevent breathing.
16. Do not use unspecified cord, modified cord, joint cord or extension cord for power supply cord. Do not share the single outlet
with other electrical appliances. Poor contact, poor insulation or over current will cause electrical shock or fire.
17. Tighten the flare nut with torque wrench according to specified method. If the flare nut is over-tightened, after a long period, the
flare may break and cause refrigerant gas leakage.

18. For R410A models, when connecting the piping, do not use any existing (R22) pipes and flare nuts. Using such same may
cause abnormally high pressure in the refrigeration cycle (piping), and possibly result in explosion and injury. Use only R410A
materials.
Thickness of copper pipes used with R410A must be more than 0.8mm. Never use copper pipes thinner than 0.8mm.
It is desirable that the amount of residual oil is less than 40 mg/10m.
19. During installation, install the refrigerant piping properly before run the compressor. (Operation of compressor without fixing refrigeration
piping and valves at opened condition will cause suck-in of air, abnormal high pressure in refrigeration cycle and result in explosion, injury
etc.).
20. During pump down operation, stop the compressor before remove the refrigeration piping. (Removal of refrigeration piping while
compressor is operating and valves are opened condition will cause suck-in of air, abnormal high pressure in refrigeration cycle and result
in explosion, injury etc.).
21. After completion of installation or service, confirm there is no leakage or refrigerant gas. It may generate toxic gas when the refrigerant
contacts with fire.
22. Ventilate if there is refrigerant gas leakage during operation. It may cause toxic gas when refrigerant contacts with fire.
23. Do not insert your fingers or other objects into the unit, high speed rotating fan may cause injury.
24. Must not use other parts except original parts describe in catalog and manual.
1. Do not install the unit at place where leakage of flammable gas may occur. In case gas leaks and accumulates at surrounding of
the unit, it may cause fire.
2. Carry out drainage piping as mentioned in installation instructions. If drainage is not perfect, water may enter the room and damage the
furniture.
3. Tighten the flare nut with torque wrench according to specified method. If the flare nut is over-tightened, after a long period, the flare may
break and cause refrigerant gas leakage.
4. Do not touch outdoor unit air inlet and aluminium fin. It may cause injury.
7. Power supply connection to the air conditioner. Connect the power supply cord (3 x 2.5mm2) of the air conditioner to the mains using one
of the following methods.
Power supply point shall be the place where there is ease for access for the power disconnection in case of emergency. In some countries,
permanent connection of this room air conditioner to the power supply is prohibited.
i. Power supply connection to the receptacle using a power plug. Use an approved 16A (CU-3E18LBE), 20A (CU-4E23LBE) power plug
with earth pin for the connection to the socket.
ii. Power supply connection to a circuit breaker for the permanent connection. Use an approved 16A (CU-3E18LBE), 20A (CU-4E23LBE)
circuit breaker for the permanent connection. It must be a double pole switch with a minimum 3.0 mm contact gap.
8. Do not release refrigerant during piping work for installation, servicing, reinstallation and during repairing a refrigerant parts.
Take care of the liquid refrigerant, it may cause frostbite.
9. Installation or servicing work: It may need two people to carry out the installation or servicing work.
10. Do not install this appliance in a laundry room or other location where water may drip from the ceiling, etc.
11. Do not sit or step on the unit, you may fall down accidentally.
12. Do not touch the sharp aluminium fin, sharp parts may cause injury.

11 Operation Control (CU-2E15LBE and CU-2E18LBE)
11.1. Compressor Operation Frequency
• The compressor operation frequency is determined by room temperature, capacity, and model type.
- When operation is started after the air conditioner has been stopped for more than one hour, the air conditioner operates at a
high frequency which lowers the room temperature quickly for cooling (or raises it quickly for heating).
- If two or more indoor units are operating simultaneously, the thermostat is set to OFF in one room; the automatic expansion
valve is closed to adjust the flow of refrigerant so as to control the room temperature.
- When the thermostat is set to OFF during 1-room operation, the compressor and fan of the outdoor unit are stopped. (The
outdoor unit fan is stopped 30 seconds after the compressor stops).
- It takes about 180 seconds to restart operation when the compressor has been stopped (Time delay safety control)
45
12 Operation Control (CU-3E18LBE and CU-4E23LBE)
12.1. Cooling Operation
12.1.1. Outdoor fan control
• When cooling operation is enabled, based on outdoor ambient temperature, fan motor control will be adjusted according to figure
below:
• To improve the judgment accuracy during annual cooling control, outdoor ambient temperature sampling for 2 minutes will be
activated every 35 minutes under designated fan speed.
• Control stop conditions:
- When either one of the start conditions are not complied.
46
12.2. Heating Operation
12.2.1. Outdoor fan control
• When heating operation is enabled, based on outdoor ambient temperature, fan motor control will be adjusted according to
figure below:
• To improve the judgment accuracy, indoor room temperature sampling starts when any indoor unit has stopped capability
supplied (heating thermo-off) during heating operation with compressor ON, outdoor unit will send signal to all thermo-off indoor
units to ON fan motor and get room temperature sample.
• To prevent discharge temperature drop at indoor units which is ON when sampling the room temperature of heating thermo-off
units, the outdoor fan speed will be adjusted accordingly.
• However, if indoor room temperature is high compare to remote control setting temperature, sampling of corresponding indoor
unit will be cancelled.
47
13 Simultaneous Operation Control
• Operation modes which can be selected using the remote control unit:
- Automatic, Cooling, Dry, Heating and e-ion operation mode.
• Types of operation modes which can be performed simultaneously
- Cooling operation and Cooling, Dry or e-ion operation.
- Heating operation and Heating operation.
