Sanyo SAP-URV246EH Inverter Controlled Split System Air Conditioner
Safety Instructions
- Read this Instruction Manual carefully before using this air conditioner. If you still have any difficulties or problems, consult your dealer for help.
- This air conditioner is designed to give you comfortable room conditions. Use this only for its intended purpose as described in this Instruction Manual.
WARNING
- Never use or store gasoline or other flammable vapor or liquid near the air conditioner — it is very dangerous.
- This air conditioner has no ventilator for the intake of fresh air from outdoors. You must open doors or windows frequently when you use gas or oil heating appliances in the same room, which consume a lot of oxygen from the air. Otherwise, there is a risk of suffocation in an extreme case.
CAUTION
- Do not turn the air conditioner on and off from the power mains switch. Use the ON/OFF operation button.
- Do not stick anything into the air outlet of the outdoor unit. This is dangerous because the fan is rotating at high speed.
- Do not let children play with the air conditioner.
- Do not cool or heat the room too much if babies or invalids are present.

| Transmitter | When you press the buttons on the remote control unit, the mark appears in the display to transmit the setting changes to the receiver in the air conditioner. |
| Sensor | A temperature sensor inside the remote control unit senses the room temperature. |
| Display | Information on the operating conditions is displayed while the remote control unit is switched on. If the unit is turned off, the FLAP setting and the FAN SPEED setting are not displayed. |
| ON/OFF operation button | This button is for turning the air conditioner on and off. |
| 1 HR. TIMER button (1-HOUR OFF TIMER) | When you press this button, regardless of whether the unit is operating or stopped, the unit operates for one hour and then shuts down. |
| Temperature setting buttons (TEMP.) | Press the UP button to increase the set temperature. Press the DOWN button to reduce the set temperature. The temperature setting changes by 1 °C or 2 °F each time one of the TEMP. button is pressed. |
| MODE selector button (AUTO)(HEAT) (DRY) (COOL) (FAN) | Use this button to select AUTO, HEAT, DRY, COOL, or FAN mode. When this setting is selected, the air conditioner calculates the difference between the thermostat setting and the room temperature and automatically switches to the ‘‘COOL’’ or ‘‘HEAT’’ mode as appropriate (except at “M” of the Single/Multiple switch). The air conditioner makes the room warmer. The air conditioner reduces the humidity in the room. The air conditioner makes the room cooler. The air conditioner works only as a circulation fan (except at “M” of the Single/Multiple switch). |

| S/M (Single/Multiple switch) NOTE | • Initially, the S/M switch is set to S (Single). • Set this switch to M (Multiple) for multiple operation. • Always press the ACL button with a thin object such as the tip of a pen, after setting the S/M switch. When multiple indoor units are used and units in other rooms are already operating, they will be set to the same mode of operation as the operating indoor units. |
NOTE: The remote control unit sends the temperature signal to the air conditioner regularly at five-minute intervals. If the signal from the remote control unit stops for more than 15 minutes due to the loss of the remote control unit or other trouble, the air conditioner will switch to the temperature sensor, which is built into the indoor unit, and control the room temperature. In these cases, the temperature around the remote control unit may differ from the temperature detected at the air conditioner’s position.
Using the Remote Control Unit
How to Install Batteries
- Slide the cover in the direction indicated by the arrow and remove it.
- Install two AAA alkaline batteries. Make sure the batteries point in the direction marked in the battery compartment.
