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

Problem Cause
The unit does not operate
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.
Odours are emitted
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.
“Water flowing” noise
The swishing noise like water flowing is the refrigerant flowing inside the unit.
Mist is emitted in COOL mode
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.
