OPERATING TIPS
The following events may occur during normal operation.
1.
Protection of the air conditioner.
Compressor protection
The compressor is prevented from restarting for 3 minutes after it switches off.
Anti-cold air
The unit is designed not to blow cold air on HEAT mode, when the indoor heat exchanger is in
one of the following three scenarios and the set temperature has not been reached.
A) When heating has just started.
B) When the unit is in Defrost mode.
C) Low temperature heating (where applicable).
The indoor and/or outdoor fans stop when in defrost mode.
Defrosting
Frost may accumulate on the outdoor coil during heating mode when the outdoor temperature is
low and humidity is high, resulting in a lower heating efficiency.
In these conditions, the unit will stop heating and enter the defrost mode automatically.
The defrost period may vary from 4 to 10 minutes depending on the outdoor temperature and
the amount of frost built up on the outdoor coil.
2.
A white mist coming out from the indoor unit
A white mist may be generated if there is a large temperature difference between air inlet and
outlet in COOL mode, and if the indoor environment that has a high relative humidity.
A white mist may be generated due to moisture expelled during the defrosting cycle, when the
unit restarts in HEAT mode.
3.
Low noise of the air conditioner
You may hear a low hissing sound when the compressor is running or has just stopped running.
It is the sound of the refrigerant equalising or coming to a stop.
You can also hear a low sound when the compressor is running or has just stopped
running. This is caused by heat expansion and cold contraction as the unit temperatures
change.
A small noise may be heard as the louvers return to their original position when power is
turned on.
4.
Dust is blown out from the indoor unit.
This is a normal condition when the unit has not been used for a long time or during initial
start up of the unit.
5.
A peculiar odour emanates from the indoor unit.
The indoor unit is recirculating odours that are permeated from building materials, furniture, pets,
food, people or smoke.
6.
The air conditioner turns to FAN only mode from COOL or HEAT mode.
When indoor temperature reaches the temperature set point, the compressor will turn off
automatically, and the unit will enter FAN only mode. The compressor will start again when the
indoor temperature rises sufficiently in COOL mode or falls sufficiently in HEAT mode compared
to the set point.
7.
The air conditioner runs
function (if applicable) after turning off the unit.
Anti-mildew
When turning off the unit under COOL(AUTO COOL, FORCED COOL) and DRY mode, the unit
will run the
function for 7-10 minutes, then stop the operation and turn off the unit
Anti-mildew
automatically.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Maintenance
Checks before restarting operation
If you plan to not use the unit for a long time, perform
the following procedure:
(1) Clean the indoor unit and filters.
(2) Operate the fan for approximately 3 - 4 hours to
dry the inside of the unit.
(3) Turn off the unit and disconnect power.
(4) Remove the batteries from the remote control.
The outdoor unit requires periodic maintenance
and service. Do not attempt this yourself, it can only
be performed by suitably qualified personnel.
Contact Brivis 1300 BRIVIS, 1300 274847.
Check that the wiring is complete and not
disconnected.
Clean the indoor unit and filters.
Check that the air filter is installed.
Check that the outlets and inlets are not blocked
if the unit has not been used for a long time.
Do not touch the metal parts of the unit when
removing the filter. Injuries can occur when
handling sharp metal edges.
Do not use water to clean inside the unit.
Exposure to water can damage components and
lead to possible electric shock.
When cleaning the unit, first make sure that the
power and circuit breaker are turned off.
Do not wash with hot water at more than 40 C.
0
Make sure the unit is completely dry before
operating. Do not expose filters to direct sunlight,
filter may shrink.
Caution
4. Remove the air freshening filters (if applicable) from
the supporting frame. Clean them with clean water
or a vacuum cleaner, allow them to dry in a cool place.
5. Install the air freshening filter back into position.
6. Insert the upper portion of air filter back into the
unit, taking care that the left and right edges line up
correctly and place filter into position.
