restart immediately
When the unit is stopped, it will not restart again for 3 minutes to
protect the system.
When electricity is disconnected then reconnected, the protection
circuit will be active for 3 minutes to protect the heat pump.
Noise is heard
During unit operation or a sudden stop, a swishing or gurgling noise
may be heard. The rst 2-3 minutes after the unit has started is when
the noise could be noticeable. This noise is generated by regerant
owing in the system.
During unit operation, a cracking noise may be heard. This noise is
sometimes generated by the casing expanding or shrinking due to
temperature changes.
If the airow is creating a loud noise during unit operation, the air lter
may be too dirty.
Odors The system circulates odors lingering in the airstream, such as the
smell of furniture, paint, and/or cigarettes.
Mist or steam is blowing
out
During COOL or DRY mode, the indoor unit may blow out mist or
steam. This is due to the sudden cooling of the indoor air.
In DRY mode, fan speed
cannot be changed
In DRY mode, when the room temperature becomes lower than the
set temperature by 2°F, the unit will run intermittently at LOW speed
regardless of FAN setting.
