Trouble Shooting

These cases are not troubles.
The following cases are not air conditioner troubles but have some reasons. You may just continue using it.
Case
Operation does not start soon.
When ON/OFF button was pressed soon after operation was stopped.
When the mode was reselected.
The outdoor unit emits water or steam.
Mists come out of the indoor unit.
The indoor unit gives out odour.
The outdoor fan rotates while the air conditioner is not in operation.
The operation stopped suddenly. (OPERATION lamp is on)
Explanation
This is to protect the air conditioner. You should wait for about 3 minutes.
In COOL or DRY mode
Moisture in the air condenses into water on the cool
surface of outdoor unit piping and drips.
This happens when the air in the room is cooled into mist by the cold air flow during cooling operation.
This happens when smells of the room, furniture, or cigarettes are absorbed into the unit and discharged with the air flow. (If this happens, we recommend you to have the indoor unit washed by a technician. Consult the service shop where you bought the air conditioner.)
After operation is stopped:
The outdoor fan continues rotating for another 60
seconds for system protection.
While the air conditioner is not in operation:
When the outdoor temperature is very high, the out door
fan starts rotating for system protection.
For system protection, the air conditioner may stop operating on a sudden large voltage fluctuation. It automatically resumes operation in about 3 minutes.

Trouble Shooting

Check again
Please check again before calling a repair person.
Case
The air conditioner does not operate. (OPERATION lamp is off)
