■Pre-season Inspection

●Is the discharged air cold/warm?

Operation is normal if 15 minutes after the start of

operation, the difference between the air intake

and outlet vents temperature is:-

Cooling –8˚C or above

Heating –14˚C or above

●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.

■When the Air Conditioner is Not To Be Used

for an Extended Period of Time

1To dry the internal parts of the indoor unit, operate

the unit for 2 –3 hours using:

Operation mode : cooling

Set temperature : 30˚C

2Turn off the power supply and unplug.

3Remove the remote control batteries.

■Recommended Inspection

●After used over several seasons, the unit will

become dirty and thus decreases the unit's

performance. Depending on the operation

conditions, a dirty unit may produce odour and dust

may pollute dehumidification system. Therefore, a

seasonal inspection is recommended in addition to

regular cleaning. (Consult an authorized dealer).

desired temperature.

Cooling Operation : 1˚C higher

Heating Operation : 2˚C lower

Approximately 10% of electricity can be saved.

■Air Filters

●Clean the air filters every 2 weeks.

●Dirty filters may reduces cooling or heating

efficiency.

■Keep All Doors and Windows Closed

●Otherwise, cooling or heating performance will be

reduced and electricity cost is wasted.

■Outdoor Unit

●Do not block the air outlet vent. Otherwise, it will

lower the cooling or heating performance.

■Avoid Direct Sunlight

TROUBLE SHOOTING

■Normal Operation

●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.

●During Automatic Fan speed, indoor fan stops

occasionally.

●The outdoor unit emits water or steam.

●Operation stops for about 12 minutes during

heating operation (The power indicator blinks).

●During heating operation, indoor fan may run at on

and off conditions.

Is it okay? 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.

●This is to remove smell emitted by the surroundings.

●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 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.

Is it okay? Please check

●The air conditioner does not operate.

●Air conditioner produces loud noise during

operation.

●The air conditioner does not cool or warm

effectively.

●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?

●Is the front grille closed properly?

●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?

■Abnormal Operation

■Call The Dealer Immediately

If the following conditions occur, turn off and unplug

the main power supply, and then call the dealer

immediately.

●Abnormal noise is heard during operation.

●Water or foreign material gets into the remote

control by mistake.

●Water leaks from the indoor unit.

●Switches or buttons do not operate properly.

●The circuit breaker switches off frequently.

●Power supply cord and plug become unusually

warm.
