Trouble Shooting

The following cases are not troubles.

During operation, the air conditioner may
sometimes exhibit a sound of "clatter" or
"rumble". This is the common sound of
refrigerant flow but not a trouble.

A sound of "Pi-Pa" is generated.

Smells are given off.

During operation, mist or steam are
blown out.

During COOL operation, it automatically
changes to FAN mode.

The system couldnt be re-started immediately
after turning off.The unit can't start?

This is caused by the thermal expansion
or cold shrinkage of plastics.

Sometimes there are smells in the air flow
from the indoor unit. This is caused by the
smell of cigarettes or paint coatings inside
the unit.

During COOL or DRY operation, the unit
may blow out a thin mist. This is the con­densate water mist caused by sudden co­oling of the indoor air blown out from the
indoor unit.

In order to prevent frost accumulation on
the heat exchanger in the indoor unit,
sometimes it will automatically transfers
to FAN mode, but soon will return to
COOL mode.

This is due to the systems self-protection
function, which prevents it from restarting
in 3 min after stops.

Please wait
for 3 min.

"Hua-Hua"

Water flow sound is heard.

Trouble Shooting

ON

OFF

During DRY operation, there is no air
sent out or fan speed cant be changed.

In HEAT mode, the outdoor unit
generates water or steam.

This occurs during removal of the frost
(in defrosting operation) on the radiator
of outdoor unit.

Defrost operation

In HEAT mode, the indoor fan still
keeps running even the unit operation
stops.

After the unit stops, the indoor fan will
continue to run for a while to eliminate
residual heat.

Before asking for after-service to an authorized service center,
please check your air
conditioner for the following items

The system couldn't start

Is power on/off switched on?

The power on/off switch is
not at position of "ON".

Is the power supply line
normal?

Is current leakage breaker
triggered?

Please do immediately
cut off power supply and
contact the authorized
service center.

The below attentive matters are divided into" Warning" " and " Note" two parts. When the
wrong installation occur, it is very possible death and severe injury and other serious accidents will
happen. For those items are listed in" Warning" part. But even the items listed in "

Note"
part can also cause serious accidents. Above all, both the two parts are very important contents
related to safety, so they must be obeyed.
After finishing the installation work, do test run to verify everything is normal. After that please
explain the using and maintenance methods to the user. Additionally, give this installation manual
and operation manual to the user and ask them to keep it properly.

The distributing shop, where you bought the air conditioner, or the specified shops shall do the
installation work. If you do the installation work by yourself, the improper installation will cause
water leakage, electric shock fire and other accidents.
The installation work shall be in line with what the installation manual specified. If installation
is not proper, water leakage, electric shock, fire and other accidents will occur.
Install the air conditioner to a place where can definitely stand its weight. Places not firm enough
will cause drop down of unit resulting in body hurt.
The installation work shall be preventive to typhoon and earthquake. If the installation work is
not met with the requirements, overturn of the unit will occur resulting in accidents.
The wiring work shall be done by a qualified person and referred to the " technical standard of
electric equipment" , "indoor wiring regulation" and what the manual specified. Do use
special circuit. If the capacity of the circuit is not enough or bad work, electric shock, fire and other
accidents will happen.
Using the specified cable to do wiring work and connecting firmly and properly. Fix the connecting
part of the terminals to prevent it from the external force.Improper connection and fixing will cause
heating and fire etc. accidents.
Wiring shall be kept in correct shape avoiding extrusion. After installation, the electric box cover
and the external panel shall not nip the wire. Improper installation will cause heating and fire etc.
accidents.
When setting or moving the air conditioner do not let the air and things alike get into the
refrigeration system except the specified refrigerant. If air and other things enter, abn­ormal high pressure will occur, which easily cause break and body injuries etc. Accidents.
When installing, do use the accessories or specified parts. If not using the parts specified by our
company, water leakage, electric shock, fire and refrigerant leakage will occur.
Do not lead the drainpipe to drain where the sulfur gas may be involved. Otherwise, the poisonous
gas will enter into the indoor.
During installation, if refrigerant leakage occurs, do the ventilation work immediately. As soon as
the refrigerant gas meets fire, poisonous gas will be produce. If the refrigerant gas enters into room
and meet the air blowing heater, heater or stove etc. fire source, the poisonous gas may be produced.
After installation, confirm there is no leakage of refrigerant.
Do not install the unit in a place where the combustible gas may be leaked. In any case the
combustible gas leaks and accumulated around the unit, fire accident will occur.
Do heat insulation work to the refrigerant gas pipes and liquid pipes to reach the purpose of heat
preservation. If the heat insulation measure is not sufficient, water generated by condensing dew
will drip leading to wet the floor and indoor articles.
