TROUBLE SHOOTING

Followings are not problems

Sound of water flowing is not a problem.

Sound of cracking is heard.

Smell are generated.

During operation, white fog or steam comes out from the indoor unit.

No outlet air or fan speed can't be changed in dry mode.

In cooling operation, unit switches to blowing operation.

Won't start?

In heating operation, water or steam are blown out of outdoor unit.

In heating operation, indoor fan won't stop even if unit is stopped.

During unit operation or at stop, a swishing or gur

gling noise may be heard. This noise is generated

by refrigerant flowing in the system.

Unit will not restart after stop.

During unit operation, a cracking noise may be heard. This noise is generated by the casing expanding or shrinking because of temperature changes.

This is because the system circulates smells from the interior air such as the smell of cigarettes or the painting on the furniture.

When unit is running at places like restaurant, etc. w dense edible oil fumes always exist, this will happen.

To prevent frost from accumulating on indoor heat exchanger

, unit will switch to blowing operation for a

while then resume cooling operation. Though ON/OFF button is set

to ON, unit won't resume cooling, dry or heating operation in 3 min after it is stopped, this is because of 3-min-delay protection circuit.

Please wait 3 minutes

OPERATING TIPS

Operation and Performance

*Heating Performance

*Microcomputer-controlled Automatic Defrosting

Heat-pump air conditioners heat your entire room by recirculating air throughout the room, with the result that some time may be required after first starting the air conditioner until the room is heated.

This air conditioner operates on the heat-pump principle, absorbing heat from outdoor air and transferring that heat indoors.

As a result, the operating performance is reduced as outdoor air temperature drops. If you feel that insufficient heating perfomance is being produced, we recommend you use this air conditioner in conjunction with another kind of heating appliance.

Instructions relating to heating (*) are applicable only to "HEAT & COOL TYPE".

When using the Heating mode under conditions of low outdoor air temperature high humidity

, frost may form on the outdoor unit,

resulting in reduced operating performance. In order to prevent this kind of reduced

performance, this unit is equipped with a Microcomputer

-controlled Automatic Defrosting function. If frost forms, the air conditioner will temporarily stop, and the defrosting circuit will operate briefly (for about 7 to 15 minutes).

During Automatic Defrosting operation, the OPERATION Indicator Lamp will flash.
