Operating tips
The following events may occur during normal operation.
Protection of the air conditioner
Compressor protection
• The compressor will not restart for 3 minutes after it stops.
Anti-freezing
• If the unit is operating in COOL mode in a low ambient
temperature, frost may be formed on the heat exchanger.
When the indoor heat exchanger temperature decreases
below 0ºC, the compressor will stop operation to protect the
unit.
Defrosting
• Frost may form on the outdoor unit in heating mode when the
outdoor temperature is low but humidity is high, resulting in
low heating efficiency.
• When this occurs, the air conditioner will stop heating and start
defrosting automatically. The defrosting time may vary from 3
to 12 minutes.
• During defrosting, the fan motors of the indoor unit and
outdoor unit will stop. The indoor indicator flashes “H1” and
the outdoor unit may emit a vapour. This is not a malfunction.
After defrosting is finished, the heating operation will resume
automatically.
Anti-cold air
In HEAT mode, the indoor fan will not operate for up to 5 minutes if
the indoor heat exchanger does not reach a minimum temperature
for the following reasons:
1. Heating operation has just started.
2. Auto defrosting is just finished.
3. Heating at a low temperature.
This is in order to prevent cold air being blown into the room.
Noises coming from the air conditioner
• You may hear a low hissing sound when the compressor is
running or has just stopped running. This is the sound of the
refrigerant flowing or coming to a stop.
• You also may hear a low “squeak” sound when the compressor
is running or just stopped running. This is caused by heat
expansion and cold contraction of the plastic parts in the unit
when the temperature is changing.
• A noise may be heard due to louvre restoring to its original
position when power is first turned on.
Dust is blown out from the indoor unit
• This is a normal condition when the air conditioner has not
been used for a long time or during first use of
the unit.
A peculiar smell comes out from the indoor unit
• This is caused by the indoor unit giving off smells permeated
from building material, furniture or smoke.
The air conditioner turns to FAN only mode from COOL
or HEAT mode
• When the indoor temperature reaches the setting value, the
compressor will stop automatically, and the air conditioner
turns to FAN mode.
The compressor will start again when the indoor temperature
rises in COOL mode or falls in HEAT mode to the set point.
Condensation
• Water droplets are likely to form at the air outlet if cooling or
drying for a long time when the relative humidity is more than
80% (with doors and windows open).
Set the vertical louvre to its maximum angle (to the floor) and
High fan speed. Close the doors and windows.
Gentle breeze
The indoor unit may blow gentle breeze and the louvre rotates to a
certain position in the following situation:
1. In HEAT mode, the unit is turned on, the compressor
does not reach the starting condition.
2. In HEAT mode, the temperature reaches the set
value and the compressor stops running for
about 1 minute.
A white mist is coming out from the indoor unit
• A white mist may generate due to a large temperature
differences between air inlet and air outlet in COOL mode in
an indoor environment that has a high relative humidity.
• A white mist may generate due to moisture generated from
defrosting process when the air conditioner restarts in HEAT
mode operation after defrosting.
18Operating tips
Other interferences
Lightning or a car wireless telephone operating nearby may cause
the unit to malfunction. Disconnect the unit with power and then
re-connect the unit with power again. Push ON/OFF button on the
remote control to restart operation.
X-Fan function
The indoor unit may keep running after you switch off the unit by
pressing ON/OFF button. Please check whether the X-Fan function
is switched off.

Troubleshooting
Please check the following prior to contacting your Electrolux Service Centre.
Problem
The unit does not operate
Odours are emitted
“Water flowing” noise
Mist is emitted in COOL mode
Cracking noise
The unit cannot be started up
Cooling/Heating effect is poor
Cause
The unit does not operate if it is turned on immediately after it is turned off. This is to protect the
unit compressor. Please wait for about 3 minutes before turning the unit on again.
Some odours may be emitted from the indoor unit. This is the result of room smells (such as
furniture, tobacco, etc) which have been taken into the unit.
Consult your authorised service centre for cleaning if the odours persist.
The swishing noise like water flowing is the refrigerant flowing inside the unit.
During cooling operation, a thin mist may be seen emitted from the indoor unit due to high
room temperature and humidity. After a period of time, the mist will disappear as the room
temperature and humidity decrease.
This is the sound of friction caused by expansion and/or contraction of panel or other parts due
to the change of temperature.
• Is the power cut off?
• Is the power plug loose?
• Is the circuit protection device tripped off?
• Is voltage higher or lower? (tested by professionals)
• Is the TIMER correctly used?
• Are the batteries exhausted?
• Is the temperature setting appropriate?
• Is the air inlet/outlet blocked?
• Is the filter dirty?
• Is the door or window open?
• Is low fan speed set?
• Are there heat sources in the room?
Water leakage of indoor unit
Water leakage of outdoor unit
Noise from indoor unit
Indoor unit cannot blow air
Moisture on the air outlet
H1 code: defrosting
• The humidity is high.
• Condensing water overflows.
• Drain hose is loose or obstructed.
• During cooling operation, water condenses around the pipes and connection joints.
• During defrosting operation, thawed water flows out.
• During heating operation, water on the heat exchanger drips out.
• The noise emitted when the fan or compressor relay is switched on or off.
• When the defrosting operation is started or stopped, there is a sound of refrigerant flowing
in the reverse direction.
• In HEAT mode, when the temperature of indoor heat exchanger is very low, airflow is stopped
in order to prevent cold air (within 2 minutes).
• In HEAT mode, when the outdoor temperature is low or humidity is high, frost will be formed on
the outdoor and the indoor heat exchanger. The unit will defrost automatically and indoor unit
will stop blowing air for 2-3 minutes.
• During defrosting operation, water or vapour may be emitted.
• In DEHUMIDIFY mode, the indoor fan will stop blowing air for 3 to 12 minutes in order to avoid
condensing water being vapourised again.
If the unit operates at high humidity for a long time, moisture may be generated on the air outlet
grill and then drip off.
This is normal. The unit is in defrosting operation and heating will recommence soon.
