● OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS ●
Even if these items are checked, when the unit does not recover from the
trouble, stop using the air conditioner and consult your dealer.
Symptom Explanation & Check points
Indoor Unit
The
unit cannot be operated.
Is the breaker turned on?
Is the power supply plug connected?
Is the ON timer set? Page 6
All LED lamps on the indoor
unit
are blinking.
Are the horizontal vanes installed correctly?
Page 8
The horizontal vane does not
move.
Are the horizontal vane and the vertical vane
installed correctly? Page 8
Is the fan guard deformed?
The unit cannot be operated for
about 3 minutes when restarted.
This protects the unit according to instruc-
tions from the microprocessor. Please wait.
Mist is discharged from the air
outlet of the indoor unit.
The cool air from the unit rapidly cools mois-
ture in the air inside the room, and it turns
into mist.
The swing operation of the
HORIZONTAL VANE is
suspended for a while, then
restarted.
This is for the swing operation of the HORI-
ZONTAL
VANE to be performed normally.
The airow direction changes
during
operation.
The direction of the horizontal
vane cannot be adjusted with
the remote controller.
When the unit is operated in COOL or DRY
mode, if the operation continues with air
blowing down for 0.5 to 1 hour, the direction
of the airow is automatically set to horizon-
t
al position to prevent water from condensing
and dripping.
In the heating operation, if the airow tem
-
perature
is too low or when defrosting is be-
i
ng done, the horizontal vane is automatically
set to horizontal position.
The operation stops for about
10 minutes in the heating
operation.
Outdoor unit is in defrost.
Since this is completed in max. 10 minutes,
please wait. (When the outside temperature is too
low and humidity is too high, frost is formed.)
The unit starts operation by
itself when the main power is
turned on, but isn’t received
sign from the remote control
-
ler.
These models are equipped with an auto re-
start function. When the main power is turned
off without stopping the unit with the remote
controller and is turned on again, the unit
starts operation automatically in the same
mode as the one set with the remote control
-
ler
just before the shutoff of the main power.
Refer
to “Auto restart function” Page 4 .
In
COOL/DRY mode,
when the room tempera-
ture
reaches near the set
temperature, the outdoor
unit stops, then the indoor
fan also stops running. The
indoor fan alternates ON and
OFF afterward.
The indoor fan stops running at the set
temperature to reduce power consumption.
A couple minutes afterward, however, the
indoor fan operates at low speed for some
seconds at regular intervals to sense ac
-
curate
room temperature. When the room
temperature rises and the outdoor unit turns
on, the indoor fan starts running according
to the settings on the remote controller.
The indoor unit discolors over
time.
Although plastic turns yellow due to the inu-
e
nce of some factors such as ultraviolet light
and temperature, this has no effect on the
product functions.
Multi system
The
indoor unit which is not
operating becomes warm and
a sound, similar to water ow-
ing,
is heard from the unit.
A small amount of refrigerant continues to
ow into the indoor unit even though it is not
operating.
When heating operation is
selected, operation does not
start right away.
When operation is started during defrosting
of outdoor unit is done, it takes a few minutes
(max. 10 minutes) to blow out warm air.
Outdoor Unit
The
fan of the outdoor unit
does not rotate even though
the compressor is running.
Even if the fan starts to rotate,
it stops soon.
When the outside temperature is low dur
-
i
ng cooling operation, the fan operates
intermittently to maintain sufcient cooling
capacity.
Water
leaks from the outdoor
unit.
During COOL and DRY operations, pipe or
pipe connecting sections are cooled and this
causes water to condense.
In the heating operation, water condensed
on the heat exchanger drips down.
In the heating operation, the defrosting
operation makes ice forming on the outdoor
unit melt and drip down.
White smoke is discharged
from the outdoor unit.
In the heating operation, vapor generated by the
defrosting operation looks like white smoke.
Symptom Explanation & Check points
Remote controller
The
display on the remote
controller does not appear
or it is dim. The indoor unit
does not respond to the
remote control signal.
Are the batteries exhausted? Page 3
Is the
polarity (+, -) of the batteries correct?
Page 3
Are any
buttons on the remote controller of
other electric appliances being pressed?
Does not cool or heat
The
room cannot be cooled
or heated sufciently.
Is the temperature setting appropriate?
Page 4
Is t
he fan setting appropriate? Please change
fan speed to higher setting.
Page 5
Are the lters clean? Page 8
Is t
he fan or heat exchanger of the indoor unit
clean? Page 8
Are there
any obstacles blocking the air inlet
or outlet of the indoor or outdoor unit?
Is a window or door open?
The room cannot be cooled
sufciently.
When a ventilation fan or a gas cooker is
used in a room, the cooling load increases,
resulting in an insufcient cooling effect.
When the outside temperature is high, the
cooling effect may not be sufcient.
The
room cannot be heated
sufciently.
When the outside temperature is low, the
heating effect may not be sufcient.
Air does not blow out soon in
the heating operation.
Please wait as the unit is preparing to blow
out warm air.
Airow
The
air from the indoor unit
smells strange.
Are the lters clean? Page 8
I
s the fan or heat exchanger of the indoor unit
clean? Page 8
The unit
may suck in an odor adhering to the
wall, carpet, furniture, cloth, etc. and blow it
out with the air.
Sound
Cracking
sound is heard. This sound is generated by the expansion/
contraction of the front panel, etc. due to
change in temperature.
“Burbling” sound is heard. This sound is heard when the outside air is
absorbed from the drain hose by turning on
the range hood or the ventilation fan, making
water owing in the drain hose to spout out.
This sound is also heard when the outside air
blows into the drain hose in case the outside
wind is strong.
Mechanical sound is heard
from the indoor unit.
This is the switching sound in turning on/off
the fan or the compressor.
The sound of water owing
is
heard.
This is the sound of refrigerant or condensed
water owing in the unit.
Hissing
sound is sometimes
heard.
This is the sound when the ow of refrigerant
inside the unit is changed.
Timer
Weekly
timer does not oper-
ate
according to settings.
Is the ON/OFF timer set? Page 6, 7
Transmit t
he setting information of the weekly
timer to the indoor unit again. When the infor-
mation
is successfully received, a long beep
will sound from the indoor unit. If information
fails to be received, 3 short beeps will be
heard. Ensure information is successfully
received.
Page 7
When a
power failure occurs and the main
power turns off, the indoor unit built-in clock
will be incorrect. As a result, the weekly timer
may not work normally.
Be sure to place the remote controller where
the signal can be received by the indoor unit.
Page 3
The unit starts/stops the
operation
by itself.
Is the weekly timer set? Page 7
In the following cases, stop using the air conditioner and consult your dealer.
When water leaks or drips from the indoor unit.
When the upper operation indicator lamp blinks.
When the breaker trips frequently.
The remote control signal is not received in a room where an electronic ON/OFF
type uorescent lamp (inverter-type uorescent lamp, etc.) is used.
Operation of the air conditioner interferes with radio or TV reception. An ampli-
er may be required for the affected device.
When an abnormal sound is heard.
