Operation is normal if 15 minutes after the start of
operation, the difference between the air intake and
outlet vents temperature is:-

Are the air intake or outlet vents of the indoor or

outdoor units obstructed?

Are the remote control batteries weak?

If the remote control display appears weak, replace
the batteries.

desired temperature.

Cooling Model

Cooling Operation : 1°C higher

Heat Pump Model

Cooling Operation : 1°C higher
Heating Operation : 2°C lower

Air Filters

TROUBLESHOOTING

Normal Operation

Is it okay?

• Air conditioner has been restarted, but does not

operate for 3 minutes.

• A sound like water flowing can be heard.

• It seems that fog is coming out from the air

conditioner.

• The room has a peculiar odour.

• The outdoor unit emits water or steam.

• During Automatic Airflow Volume setting,

indoor fan stops occasionally.

• (For Heat Pump Model only)

Operation stops for about 12 minutes during
heating (The power indicator blinks).

• (For Heat Pump Model only)

During heating operation, indoor fan may
run at on and off conditions.

Abnormal Operation

Is it okay?

• The air conditioner does not operate.

• Air conditioner produces loud noise during

operation.

• The air conditioner does not cool or warm

effectively.

• Remote control / display doesn’t work

This is the answer

• This is to protect the air conditioner. Wait until the air

conditioner begins to operate.

• This is the sound of refrigerant flowing inside the air

conditioner.

• Condensation occurs when the airflow from the air

conditioner cools the room.

• This may be a damp smell emitted by the wall,

carpet, furniture or clothing in the room.

• In COOL/DRY operation, moisture in the air

condenses into water on the cool surface of outdoor
unit piping that causes dripping.

• This is to remove the smell emitted by the

surroundings.

• This is to melt the frost which has accumulated on

the outdoor unit (defrosting operating). This will take
no longer than about 12 minutes. Water drips from
the outdoor unit. Wait until this operation ends.
(the power indicator will light up). (Frost will
accumulates on the outdoor unit when the outdoor
temperature is low and humidity is high.)

• This is to prevent undesired cooling effect during

heating operation.

Please check

• Has the circuit breaker been tripped?
• Has the power plug been removed from the wall

outlet?

• Is the timer being used correctly?

• Is the installation work slanted?

• Has the temperature been set incorrectly?
• Are the filters dirty?
• Are the intake or outlet vents of the outdoor unit

obstructed?

• Are all windows and doors closed?

• Batteries empty?
• Batteries correctly inserted (+) and (–)?
