conditioner and can be heard when the water is
pumped out from the air conditioner during COOL or
DRY operation.
Blowing sound
• This sound is generated when the flow of the
refrigerant in the air conditioner is switched over.
Ticking sound
• This sound is generated when the cabinet and
frame of the air conditioner slightly expand or shrink
as a result of temperature changes.
Whistling sound
• This sound is generated when refrigerant flows
during defrosting operation.
Clicking sound during operation or idle time
• This sound is generated when the refrigerant control

after the frost on the outdoor unit has been removed.
This can take about 4 to 12 minutes.

• Once the set temperature is reached, the airflow rate is
reduced and operation stopped in order to avoid
generating a cool airflow. Operation will resume
automatically when the indoor temperature falls.
