expense of a service call.

immediately after it has
been turned on.

operating immediately to keep the unit from overloading.
The air conditioner will start in 3 minutes.

not work at all.
• Check that the power plug is properly connected. Insert the power plug
into the wall socket correctly.
• Check if the circuit breaker is switched off.
• Check if there is a power failure.
• Check your fuse. Make sure it is not blown out.
The temperature does
not change.
• Check if your air conditioner to make sure it is not operating in Fan mode.
The cool(warm) air does
not come out of the air
conditioner.
• Check if the set temperature is higher (lower) than the current
temperature. Press the Temp button on the remote control or Temp.
button on the control panel to change the set temperature.
Press  or  to increase or decrease the temperature.
• Check if the air filter is blocked by dirt. Clean the air filter every two weeks.
• Check if the air conditioner has just been turned on. If so wait 3 minutes.
Odors permeate the
room during operation.
• Check if the appliance is running in a smoky area or if there is a smell
entering from outside. Operate the air conditioner in Fan mode or open
the windows to air out the room.
• Check your ventilation lever and make sure it is in position. Outside
odors might come in when your ventilation lever is in position.
The air conditioner
makes a bubbling sound.
• A bubbling sound may be heard when the refrigerant is circulating through
the compressor. This is normal operation.

vibrates excessively
or makes a lot of noise
during operation.

the crack securely.
Water is dripping from
the air flow blades.
• Check if the air conditioner has been cooling for an extended period of
time with the air flow blades pointed downwards. Condensation may
generate due to the difference in temperature. Push the vertical air flow
blades upward and run the appliance.
Remote control is not
working.
