• During operation or immediately after stopping the air conditioner, refrigerant 

fl

 owing sound may be 

heard. Also it may be particularly noticeable for 2–3 minutes after starting operation.

• During the operation, a slight squeaking sound produced by the minute expansion and contraction 

of the front panel caused by temperature change may be heard.

During heating operation, a sizzling sound produced by the automatic defrosting operation may be 
heard.

Smell coming from the unit.

Various smells generated from interior textile, furniture, or cigarette smoke absorbed into the air 
conditioner may be emitted.

Mist or steam is emitted from 
the unit.

In COOL or DRY mode, a thin mist generated by condensation formed with sudden cooling process 
may be emitted.

During heating operation, the fan built-in the outdoor unit may stop and rising steam generated by the 
automatic defrosting operation may be seen.

Air

fl

 ow is weak or stops.

• Immediately after the heating operation is started, the fan speed stays very low temporarily to warm 

up the internal parts of the unit.

• In HEAT mode, the outdoor unit stops and the indoor unit operates at very low fan speed if the 

room temperature rises above the set temperature.

In HEAT mode, the indoor unit temporarily stops for maximum of 15 minutes to perform the automatic 
defrosting operation while the OPERATION indicator is 

fl

 ashing.

9

In DRY mode, the indoor unit operates at low fan speed to adjust the room humidity, and may stop 
from time to time.

When the fan speed is set to “QUIET”, the fan rotates at very low speed and the air

fl

 ow is reduced.

In COOL mode, the indoor unit fan may stop from time to time when the outdoor unit is stopped.

When monitoring operation is performed in AUTO mode, the fan rotates at very low speed.

Outdoor unit emits water.

During heating operation, the outdoor unit may emit water generated by the automatic defrosting 
operation.

  Are there other heating apparatus or computers operating, or too many people in the room in cool-

ing operation?

  Is the fan speed set to “QUIET”?

When the fan speed setting is set to “QUIET”, noise reduction is prioritized and the air-conditioning

fl

 ow is not agreeable to your prefer-

ence, set the fan speed to “LOW” or higher fan speed.
