For more information, consult authorized service personnel. When cleaning the unit's body, do not use water hotter than 40 , harsh abrasive cleansers, or volatile agents like benzene or thinner. Do not expose the unit body to liquid insecticides or hairsprays. When shutting down the unit for one month or more, first allow the Fan mode to operate continuously for about half a day to allow internal parts to dry thoroughly.

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.

In cooling operation, unit switches to blowing operation.

Unit will not restart after stop.

Won't start?

During unit operation or at stop, a swishing or gurgling noise may be heard. This noise is generated by refrigerant flowing in the system.

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. where 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

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

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.

Unit will reduce fan speed repeatedly and automatically if room temp. is too low in dry operation.

This occurs when frost accumulated on the outdoor unit is removed. (during defrosting operation)

After unit stop, indoor fan will go on running until indoor unit cools down.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

Before ask for services, please first check your unit against the following.

Air conditioner won't start.

Is power supply switch turned on?

Power supply switch is not set at ON.

Are operation control adjusted correctly as specified?

Is air filter too dirty?

Any doors or windows left open?

Are there any obstacles in inlet or outlet grill?

Poor cooling

Is there any direct sunlight in the room?

Cold air blows out (in heating mode)

Is air conditioner in standby condition in heating mode?

If there are unexpected heat sources in the room?

If your unit still can't work properly after above mentioned checks, or following problems occur, please stop it immediately and contact your dealer. Fuses or circuit breakers often blow out. Water comes out in cooling/dry operation. Operation is abnormal or sound is heard.

Too many people in the room?

OPERATING TIPS

Operation and Performance

*Heating Performance

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.

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.

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

Temperature and Humidity Range

*Microcomputer-controlled Automatic Defrosting

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.

*Trouble alarming performance

Only for series 28,42 During operation, when there is any trouble, the power indicator lamp will flash.
