ECONO Operation
ECONO operation is a function which enables ef
fi
cient operation by limiting the
maximum power consumption value.
This function is useful for cases in which attention should be paid to ensure a
circuit breaker will not trip when the product runs alongside other appliances.
To start ECONO operation
Press
during operation.

[Example]
Normal operation
ECONO operation
In case the air conditioner and other
•
appliances which require high power
consumption are used at same time, a circuit
breaker may trip if the air conditioner operate
with its maximum capacity.
The maximum power consumption of the air
•
conditioner is limited by using ECONO
operation.
The circuit breaker will hardly trip even if the
air conditioner and other appliances are used
at same time.

NOTE
Notes on ECONO operation
ECONO operation can only be set when the unit is running. Pressing

POWERFUL and ECONO operation cannot be used at the same time.
•
Priority is given to the function of whichever button is pressed last.
If the level of power consumption is already low, ECONO operation will not drop the power consumption.
