the power plug, and consult authorized service personnel.
Merely turning off the unit's power switch will not completely disconnect the unit from the

Problem
●
During operation and immediately after stopping the unit, the sound
of water flowing in the air conditioner's piping may be heard. Also, noise
may be particularly noticeable for about 2 to 3 minutes after starting
operation (sound of coolant flowing).
●
During operation, a slight squeaking sound may be heard. This is the
result of minute expansion and contraction of the front cover due to
temperature changes.
●
During Heating mode, a sizzling sound may be heard occasional. This sound
is produced by the automatic defrosting operation. (Heating)
●
Some smell may be emitted from the air conditioner. This smell is the re-
sult of room smells (furniture, tobacco, etc.) which have been taken into
the air conditioner.
●
During Cooling operation, a thin mist may be seen emitted from the indoor
unit. This results from the sudden Cooling of room air by the air emitted
from the air conditioner, resulting in condensation and misting.
●
During Heating operation, the fan may stop, and steam may be seen rising
from the unit. This is due to operation of the defrosting mode. (Heating)
●
During Heating mode, the unit will temporarily stop operation (between 6
and 12 minutes) as the automatic defrosting mode operates. During
defrosting operation, the OPERATION indicator lamp will flash slowly.
