  Are the air 

fi

 lters clean?

• 

  Is there anything to block the air inlet or the outlet of the 

• 

indoor and the outdoor units?

  Is the temperature setting appropriate?

• 

  Are the windows and doors closed?

• 

  Are the air

fl

 ow rate and the air

fl

 ow direction set 

• 

appropriately?

 

Remote controller does not work 

 

properly.

 No remote controller signals are displayed.

 

„

 Remote controller sensitivity is low.

 

„

 Display is low in contrast or blacked out.

 

„

 Display runs out of control.

The indoor unit gives out odor.

  This happens when smells of the room, furniture, or 

• 

cigarettes are absorbed into the unit and discharged with 
the air

fl

 ow.  If this happens, have the indoor unit washed 

by a technician from the service shop where you 
purchased the air conditioner.

 

The outdoor fan rotates while the 

 

air conditioner is not in operation.

  After operation is stopped

 

„

  The outdoor fan continues rotating for another 

• 

60 seconds for system protection.

  While the air conditioner is not in operation

 

„

  When the outdoor temperature is very high, the outdoor 

• 

fan starts rotating for system protection.

 

An abnormal functioning happens 

 during  operation.

  The air conditioner may malfunction with lightning or 

• 

radio waves. Turn the breaker off, turn it on again and try 
operating the air conditioner with the remote controller. 

 

HEAT operation cannot be selected, 

even though the unit is heat pump 
model.

 Slide the DIP switch to the left as shown in the 

• 

illustration so that the HEAT operation can be selected 
with the “MODE” button.
