● OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS ●
Even if these items are checked, when the unit does not recover from the
trouble, stop using the air conditioner and consult your dealer.
Symptom Explanation & Check points
Indoor Unit
The unit cannot be operated. • Is the breaker turned on?
• Is the power supply plug connected?
• Is the ON timer set? Page 7
The unit cannot be operated
for about 3 minutes when
restarted.
• This protects the unit according to instructio ns fro m the mic roprocessor. Please
wait.
Mist is discharged from the air
outlet of the indoor unit.
• The cool air from the unit rapidly cools mois-
ture in the air inside the room, and it turns
into mist.
The swing operation of the
HORIZONTAL / VERTICAL
VANE is suspended for a
while, then restarted.
• This is for the swing operation of the HORIZONTAL / VERTICAL VANE to be performed
normally.
The air fl ow direction changes
during operation.
The direction of the horizontal
vane cannot be adjusted with
the remote controller.
• When the unit is operated in COOL or DRY
mode, if the operation continues with air
blowing down for 0.5 to 1 hour, the direction
of the air fl ow is automatically set to horizontal position to prevent water from condensing
and dripping.
• In the heating operation, if the air fl ow temperature is too low or when defrosting is being done, the horizontal vane is automatically
set to horizontal position.
The operation is stopped for
about 10 minutes in the heating operation.
• Defrosting of the outdoor unit is being
done.
Since this is completed in max.10 minutes,
please wait. (When the outside temperature
is too low and humidity is too high, frost is
formed.)
The unit starts operation by
itself when the main power
is turned on, though it isn’t
operated with the remote
controller.
• These models are equipped with an auto restart function. When the main power is turned
off without stopping the unit with the remote
controller and is turned on again, the unit
starts operation automatically in the same
mode as the one set with the remote controller just before the shutoff of the main power.
Refer to “Auto restart function” Page 5 .
Multi system
The indoor unit which is not
operating becomes warm and
a sound, similar to water fl owing, is heard from the unit.
• A small amount of refrigerant continues to
fl ow into the indoor unit even though it is not
operating.
When heating operation is
selected, operation does not
start right away.
• When operation is started during defrosting
of outdoor unit is done, it takes a few minutes
(max. 10 minutes) to blow out warm air.
Outdoor Unit
The fan of the outdoor unit
does not rotate even though
the compressor is running.
Even if the fan starts to rotate,
it stops soon.
• When the outside temperature is low during cooling operation, the fan operates
intermittently to maintain suffi cient cooling
capacity.
Water leaks from the outdoor
unit.
• During COOL and DRY operations, pipe or
pipe connecting sections are cooled and this
causes water to condense.
• In the heating operation, water condensed
on the heat exchanger drips down.
• In the heating operation, the defrosting operation makes water frozen on the outdoor
unit melt and drip down.
White smoke is discharged
from the outdoor unit.
• In the heating operation, vapor generated
by the defrosting operation looks like white
smoke.
Symptom Explanation & Check points
Remote controller
The display on the remote
controller does not appear
or it is dim. The indoor unit
does not respond to the
remote control signal.
• Are the batteries exhausted? Page 4
• Is the polarity (+, -) of the batteries correct?
Page 4
• Are any buttons on the remote controller of
other electric appliances being pressed?
Does not cool or heat
The room cannot be cooled
or heated suffi ciently.
• Is the temperature setting appropriate?
Page 5
• Is the fan set tin g appr opr iat e? Please
change fan speed to higher setting. Page 6
• Are the fi lters clean? Page 8
• Is the fan or heat exchanger of the indoor unit
clean?
• Are there any obstacles blocking the air inlet
or outlet of the indoor or outdoor unit?
• Is a window or door open?
The room cannot be cooled
suffi ciently.
• When a ventilation fan or a gas cooker is
used in a room, the cooling load increases,
resulting in an insuffi cient cooling effect.
• When the outside temperature is high, the
cooling effect may not be suffi cient.
The room cannot be heated
suffi ciently.
• When the outside temperature is low, the
heating effect may not be suffi cient.
Air does not blow out soon in
the heating operation.
• Please wait as the unit is preparing to blow
out warm air.
Airfl ow
The air from the indoor unit
smells strange.
• Are the fi lters clean? Page 8
• Is the fan or heat exchanger of the indoor unit
clean?
• The unit may suck in an odor adhering to the
wall, carpet, furniture, cloth, etc. and blow it
out with the air.
Sound
Cracking sound is heard. • This sound is generated by the expansion/
contraction of the front panel, etc. due to
change in temperature.
“Burbling” sound is heard. • This sound is heard when the outside air is
absorbed from the drain hose by turning on
the range hood or the ventilation fan, making
water fl owing in the drain hose to spout out.
This sound is also heard when the outside air
blows into the drain hose in case the outside
wind is strong.
Mechanical sound is heard
from the indoor unit.
• This is the switching sound in turning on/off
the fan or the compressor.
The sound of water fl owing
is heard.
• This is the sound of refrigerant or condensed
water fl owing in the unit.
Hissing sound is sometimes
heard.
• This is the sound when the fl ow of refrigerant
inside the unit is switched.
In the following cases, stop using the air conditioner and consult your
dealer.
• When water leaks or drips from the indoor unit.
• When the left operation indicator lamp blinks.
• When the breaker trips frequently.
• The remote control signal is not received in a room where an electronic ON/OFF
type fl uorescent lamp (inverter-type fl uorescent lamp, etc.) is used.
• Operation of the air conditioner interferes with radio or TV reception. An amplifi er may be required for the affected device.
• When an abnormal sound is heard.
