Use the PANASONIC CU-2E15GBE air conditioner under the following temperature ranges. DBT stands for Dry Bulb Temperature and WBT stands for Wet Bulb Temperature.

NOTICE: This model is not suitable for 24 hours non-stopping operation in heating mode below -5°C. When the outdoor temperature is below -5°C and you use this model out of the above conditions, the outdoor unit might freeze up and stop operation for protection control.

The PANASONIC CU-2E15GBE multi-split system saves space by letting you connect multiple indoor units to a single outdoor unit.

• It is possible to operate the indoor units individually or simultaneously. The operation mode priority is given to the first unit that is turned on.

• During operation, heating and cooling mode cannot be activated at the same time for different indoor units. The power indicator will blink to indicate the indoor unit is standing by for a different operation mode.

Yes, PATROL and e-ion operations can be activated even when the air-conditioner is turned off. In this condition, once the e-ion indicator is ON, the unit will operate with AUTO fan speed and air swing. However, this operation cannot be activated or will be deactivated if another indoor unit is activating heating mode.

The Auto OFF/ON button on the indoor unit can be used when the remote control is misplaced or malfunctioning.

The indicator lights on your indoor unit provide status information:

• PATROL SENSOR: Blue

• POWER: Green

• TIMER: Orange

• QUIET: Orange

• POWERFUL: Orange

• e-ion: Blue

• MILD DRY COOLING: Blue

Press the MODE button on your remote control to select the desired operation mode.

• AUTO mode – For your convenience: The power indicator blinks during mode selection. The unit selects the operation mode every 3 hours according to the temperature setting, outdoor, and room temperature.

• HEAT mode – To enjoy warm air: The unit takes a while to warm up. The power indicator blinks during this operation.

• COOL mode – To enjoy cool air.

• DRY mode – To dehumidify the environment: The unit operates at a low fan speed to provide a gentle cooling operation.

Your PANASONIC CU-2E15GBE remote control has several special function buttons:

• e-ion (TO ENJOY CLEAN & FRESH AIR): Generates negative ions to produce a fresh air effect and attract dust, which is then captured by the positively charged e-ion filters.

• PATROL (TO MONITOR AIR QUALITY): The patrol sensor detects air quality. When the air quality is unsatisfactory, the e-ion operation will start automatically.

• QUIET (TO ENJOY QUIET ENVIRONMENT): This operation reduces airflow noise.

• POWERFUL (TO ACHIEVE TEMPERATURE QUICKLY): This mode helps to quickly reach the desired temperature.

Notes on usage:

• PATROL, e-ion, QUIET, and POWERFUL can be activated in all modes and can be canceled by pressing the respective button again.

• PATROL, e-ion, QUIET, and POWERFUL cannot be selected at the same time.

• PATROL and e-ion can be activated even when the unit is turned off. In this condition, fan speed and air swing cannot be adjusted.

To set the timer to turn the unit ON or OFF at a preset time, follow these steps:

1. Press the ON or OFF button in the TIMER section to select the ON or OFF timer.

2. Use the arrow buttons to set the desired time.

3. Press the SET button to confirm.

To cancel the ON or OFF timer, press the corresponding ON or OFF button, then press CANCEL.

Additional Information:

• When the ON Timer is set, the unit may start earlier (up to 35 minutes) before the actual set time in order to achieve the desired temperature on time.
