Troubleshooting
Unit does not turn on when pressing ON/ OFF button
The unit changes from COOL mode to FAN mode
The indoor unit emits white mist
Both the indoor and outdoor units emit white mist
The indoor unit makes noises
The unit has a 3-minute protection feature that prevents the unit from overloading. The unit cannot be restarted within three minutes of being turned o. Cooling and Heating Models: If the Operation light and PRE-DEF (Pre-heating/
Defrost) indicators are lit up, the outdoor temperature is too cold and the unit’s anti-cold wind is activated in order to defrost the unit.
In Cooling-only Models: If the “Fan Only” indicator is lit up, the outdoor temperature is too cold and the unit’s anti-freeze protection is activated in order to defrost the unit.
The unit changes its setting to prevent frost from forming on the unit. Once the temperature increases, the unit will start operating again.
The set temperature has been reached, at which point the unit turns o the compressor. The unit will resume operating when the temperature uctuates again.
In humid regions, a large temperature dierence between the room’s air and the conditioned air can cause white mist.
When the unit restarts in HEAT mode after defrosting, white mist may be emitted due to moisture generated from the defrosting process.
A squeaking sound is heard when the system is OFF or in COOL mode. The noise is also heard when the drain pump (optional) is in operation.
A squeaking sound may occur after running the unit in HEAT mode due to expansion and contraction of the unit’s plastic parts.
Both the indoor unit and outdoor unit make noises
The outdoor unit makes noises
Page 10
A low hissing sound may occur during operation. This is normal and is caused by refrigerant gas owing through both the indoor and outdoor units.
A low hissing sound may be heard when the system starts, has just stopped running or is defrosting. This noise is normal and is caused by the refrigerant gas stopping or changing direction.
The unit will make dierent sounds based on its current operating mode.
Problem Possible Causes
Dust is emitted from either the indoor or outdoor unit
The unit may accumulate dust during extended periods of non-use, which will be emitted when the unit is turned on. This can be mitigated by covering the unit during long periods of inactivity.
The unit may absorb odors from the environment (such as furniture, cooking,
