This document is an operation manual for a Daikin room air conditioner, specifically models FTXM41VVLT, FTXM50VVLT, FTXM60VVLT, and FTXM71VVLT. It provides comprehensive information on the device's functions, technical specifications, usage, and maintenance.
Function Description
The Daikin room air conditioner is designed to provide enhanced comfort, energy savings, and air cleaning. It features an inverter for variable speed operation and a Streamer unit for air purification.
Key operational modes include:
- DRY (Dehumidifying): This mode mixes dehumidified cool air with room air to adjust the air outlet temperature and remove moisture, enhancing comfort.
- INTELLIGENT EYE: A sensor detects human movement. If no one is in the room for more than 20 minutes, the unit automatically switches to an energy-saving operation, reducing power consumption.
- WEEKLY TIMER: Allows users to save up to 4 timer settings for each day of the week, enabling personalized on/off times and desired temperatures according to family lifestyle.
- MOLD PROOF: This function dries the interior of the indoor unit after COOL or DRY operation to suppress mold generation and odors. It runs automatically for 130 minutes after the main operation stops.
- FLASH STREAMER AIR CLEANING: The Streamer unit generates a high-speed electron stream with high oxidizing power to decompose mold, allergic substances, and odors. Combined with an enzyme blue air quality filter (PM2.5) and standard air filters, it cleans the air in the room.
- COMFORT AIRFLOW: Adjusts airflow direction to prevent cold or warm air from blowing directly on occupants. Airflow is upward during COOL/DRY operation and downward during HEAT operation.
- OUTDOOR UNIT QUIET: Reduces the noise level of the outdoor unit by adjusting frequency and fan speed, useful for maintaining a quiet neighborhood, especially at night.
- ECONO Operation: Limits maximum power consumption for efficient operation, preventing circuit breakers from tripping when other appliances are used simultaneously on the same circuit.
- POWERFUL Operation: Maximizes cooling or heating effect for 20 minutes, quickly bringing the room to the desired temperature. After 20 minutes, it reverts to previous settings.
