Select Heat.

NOTE

• While the air conditioner warms up, the fan may not
operate for about 3 to 5 minutes at the beginning to
prevent cold blasts.

• If the air conditioner heats insufficiently, use an additional
heating appliance in combination with the air conditioner.

• When the outdoor temperature is low and the humidity is
high in Heat mode, frost may develop on the outdoor heat
exchanger. This may also decrease the heating efficiency.
If this occurs, the air conditioner runs the defrost function
for 5 to 12 minutes to remove frost from the outdoor heat
exchanger.

• When the defrost function is running, steam is produced
on the outdoor unit. The air conditioner moves the vertical
air flow blade to the lowest position, as shown in the
left figure, to prevent cold air from coming out from the
indoor unit.

A. The position of the vertical air flow blade when the
defrost function is running (The blade looks almost closed.)

B. The position range of the vertical air flow blade when

• When the defrost function is running, no air comes out
from the indoor unit in order to prevent cold air from
coming out. When the defrost function is finished, warm
air comes out after a while.

• The cycle of the defrost function may be shortened
depending on the amount of frost on the outdoor unit.

• The cycle of the defrost function may be shortened
depending on the humidity from rain and snow, too.

• When the defrost function is running, you cannot select
other functions with the remote control. Select them after
the defrost function is finished.

Cleaning and Maintenance

• Do not use sulphuric acid, hydrochloric acid, or organic solvents
(such as thinner, kerosene, and acetone) to clean the surfaces. Do
not put any stickers on it as this can damage the surface of the
air conditioner.

• When you clean and inspect the heat exchanger on the outdoor
unit, contact the local service centre for help.

• Make sure to prevent any injury from sharp edges of the surface
when handling the heat exchanger.

Cleaning the filter

CAUTION

• Do not scrub the air filter with a brush or other cleaning utensil.
This may damage the filter.

• Do not expose the air filter to direct sunlight when drying it.

NOTE

• Clean the air filter every 2 weeks. Cleaning term may vary depending on the usage and
environmental conditions.

• If the air filter dries in a humid area, it may produce offensive odours. Clean it again and dry
it in a well-ventilated area.

If the air conditioner operates abnormally, refer to the following
chart to save time and unnecessary expenses.

Problem Solution

The air
conditioner does
not work at all.

• Check the power status, then operate the air
conditioner again.

• Switch on the circuit breaker, plug in the
power cord, then operate the air conditioner
again.

• Make sure that the isolator is turned on.

• Check whether the Timed off function is

running. Operate the air conditioner again by
pressing the Power button.

I cannot change
the temperature.

• Check whether the Fan or Fast mode is
running. In these modes, the air conditioner
controls the set temperature automatically,
and you cannot change the set temperature.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Problem Solution

Cool or warm air
does not come
out of the air
conditioner.

• Check whether the set temperature is higher
in the Cool mode or lower in the Heat mode
than the current temperature. Press the
Temperature button on the remote control to
change the set temperature.

• Check whether the air filter is blocked with
dirt. If the air filter is blocked, the cooling
and heating performance may decrease.
Remove dirt regularly.

• Check whether the outdoor unit is covered
or installed near obstacles. Remove the
coverings and obstacles.

• Check whether the air conditioner is running
the defrost function. When ice forms in
winter or the outdoor temperature is too low,
the air conditioner runs the defrost function
automatically. While this function is running,
the indoor fan stops and warm air does not
come out.

• Check whether doors or windows are open.
This may cause poor cooling or heating
performance. Close the doors and windows.

• Check whether the air conditioner is turned
on immediately after the cooling or heating
operation stops. In this case, only the fan
runs to protect the outdoor unit compressor.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Problem Solution

Cool or warm air
does not come
out of the air
conditioner.

• Check whether the pipe length is too long.
When the pipe length exceeds the maximum
pipe length, the cooling and heating
performance may decrease.

I cannot change
the air flow
direction.

• Check whether the good'sleep function is
running. While this function is running, you
cannot control the air flow direction. (But
you can control the air flow direction if this
function is running in the Heat mode.)

I cannot change
the fan speed.

• When the Auto, Dry, or Fast mode is running
or the good'sleep function is running in the
Cool mode, the air conditioner controls the
fan speed automatically and you cannot
change the fan speed.

The remote
control does not
work.

• Replace the batteries in the remote control
with new ones.

• Make sure that nothing is blocking the
remote control sensor.

• Check whether there are strong lighting
apparatus near the air conditioner. Strong
light which comes from fluorescent bulbs or
neon signs may interrupt the electric waves.

The Timed on/
off function
does not work.

• Check whether you pressed the SET button
on the remote control after setting the time.

Odours
permeate in the
room during

• Check whether the air conditioner is
running in a smoky area. Ventilate the
room or operate the air conditioner in the
Fan mode for 3 to 4 hours. (There are no
components used in the air conditioner that
emit a strong odour.)

• Check whether the drains are clean. Clean
them regularly.

An error is
indicated.

• If the indoor unit indicator blinks, contact
the nearest service centre. Be sure to pass
the error code to the service centre.

Noise is
generated.

• When refrigerant flow changes, noise may
be generated, depending on the status
of the air conditioner. This is a normal
operation.

Smoke is
generated from
the outdoor unit.

• If may not be a fire but it can be a steam
generated from the outdoor heat exchanger
while the defrost function is running in the

Water drops
from the pipe
connections of
the outdoor unit.

• Condensation may develop when the
ambient temperature changes excessively.
This is a normal operation.
