Troubleshooting
The following symptoms do not indicate malfunction.
Symptom Cause
Mist emerges from indoor unit. • Condensation effect due to cooling process.
Water fl owing sound during operation. • Refrigerant fl ow inside the unit.
The room has a peculiar odour. • This may be due to damp smell emitted by the wall,
carpet, furniture or clothing.
Indoor fan stops occasionally during automatic
fan speed setting.
• This helps to remove the surrounding odour.
Air fl ow continues even after operation has
stopped.
• Extraction of remaining heat from the indoor unit
(maximum 30 seconds).
Operation is delayed a few minutes after restarting. • The delay is a protection to the unit’s compressor.
Outdoor unit emits water/steam.
• Condensation or evaporation occurs on pipes.
TIMER indicator is always on. • The timer setting repeats daily once set.
POWER indicator blinks during HEAT mode
with no warm air supply (and louver is closed).
• The unit is in defrost mode (and AIR SWING is set to
AUTO).
Indoor fan stops occasionally during heating
operation.
• To avoid unintended cooling effect.
POWER indicator blinks before the unit is
switched on.
• This is a preliminary step in preparation for the
operation when the ON timer has been set.
Cracking sound during operation. • Changes of temperature caused the expansion/
contraction of the unit.
Discoloration of some plastic parts. • Discoloration is subject to material types used in plastic
parts, accelerated when exposed to heat, sun light, UV
light, or environmental factor.
Cooling/heating capacity reduced during the
lowest fan speed setting.
• The low fan speed is low noise priority operation, so
cooling/heating capacity may be reduced (depending
on the condition). Increase the Fan Speed to increase
the capacity.
