Notes

In quiet operation or stopping the operation, the following phenomena may ● occassionally occur, but they are not abnormal for the operation. (1) Slight ﬂ owing noise of refrigerant in the refrigerating cycle. (2) Slight rubbing noise from the fan casing which is cooled and then gradually warmed as operation stops. The odor will possibly be emitted from the room air conditioner because the

●

various odor, emitted by smoke, foodstuffs, cosmetics and so on, sticks to it. So the air ﬁ lter and the evaporator regularly must be cleaned to reduce the odor.

Please contact your sales agent immediately if the air conditioner still fails to operate normally after the above

●

inspections. Inform your agent of the model of your unit, production number, date of installation. Please also

inform him regarding the fault.

Power supply shall be connected at the rated voltage, otherwise the unit will be broken or could not reach the

●

speciﬁ ed capacity.

NOTE:

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the special cord obtainable at authorized service

●

parts centers. On switching on the equipment, particularly when the room light is dimmed, a slight brightness ﬂ uctuation ● may occur. This is of no consequence. The conditions of the local Power Supply Companies are to be observed.
