Troubleshooting
• Turn off the main power switch immediately if a malfunction is detected. Contact your
servicing or installing dealer. If the unit continues to run during a malfunction, the unit may
be damaged or electric shock or fire may occur.
• Do not try to move or reposition the units. Please contact the servicing/installing dealer to
repair or move the units.
• Check the following items before contacting the dealer.

This sound occurs when gas refrigerant starts or
stops flowing.

a period of time
Dust that has collected in the indoor unit is blown
out.
The unit emits odor

The room odor absorbed by the unit is blown out
again.
Indoor unit still runs
after switch off
After every indoor unit
receives the "stop" signal, fan
will keep running
Indoor fan motor will keep running 20-70s so as
to use excess cooling and heating and prepare
for the next operation. When the X-Fan or Dry
feature is activated, the fan continues to operate
for a short time to dry off the coil.
Mode conflict
COOL or HEAT mode can not
be operated
When switching between cooling and heating
modes, the outdoor unit will take several minutes
to reverse the direction of refrigerant flow and to
pre-heat the coil in heating mode. COOL mode
doesn't conflict with DRY mode and FAN mode.
Error Code
E7 is shown on one or more
indoor units
E7 means that this indoor unit is calling for a
mode that conflicts with the mode of the outdoor
unit. E7 will disappear a few seconds after the
mode of the unit is changed to match the outdoor
unit mode. The outdoor unit mode will only change
when all indoor units have been changed to the
new mode.
NOTE:
If the problem persists after checking the above items and taking appropriate measures, please stop operation
of the unit immediately and contact your local service agency or dealer. Diagnostics and repairs should be completed
by a professional service technician.
