6. TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem
Solution
An unusual odor is emitted from the outlet after
operation is started.
Clean the air filters (see page16). If the problem
persists, the unit requires servicing. Please contact
your authorized SANYO maintenance center.
Sounds of water flowing can be heard during
operation.
Occasionally there is a swooshing or gurgling sound
when the air conditioner is started, stopped or when
the compressor has started or stopped running.
These sounds are due to refrigerant flowing and are
not malfunctions.
Mist is emitted.
When the indoor temperature and humidity are high,
sometimes this phenomeno n occurs. It is caused by
the room air being swiftly cooled down. After running
for a while, the indoor temperature and humidity will
decrease, and the mist will disappear.
A creaking noise can be heard when starting or
stopping the unit.
This is caused by the deformation of plastic due to
the change of temperature.
The unit will not operate.
