BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE
The following conditions do not denote
equipment malfunctions
UNIT DOES NOT OPERATE
•
The unit will not operate if it is turned on
immediately after it is turned off. The unit
will not operate immediately after the mode
is changed. This is to protect the internal
mechanisms. Wait 3 minutes before operating
the unit.
UNIT DOES NOT SEND OUT WARM AIR
•
In heating operation, the indoor fan may not
start for 2 to 5 minutes after the unit is turned
on to prevent cold air from blowing out of the
unit.
•
The unit is defrosting. Wait for 5 to 10 minutes.
ODORS
•
Carpet and furniture odors that entered into
the unit may be sent out from the unit.
CRACKING NOISE
•
The unit may produce a cracking noise. This
sound is generated by the friction of the front
panel and other components expanding or
connecting due to a temperature change.
A LOW BUZZING NOISE EMITTED
•
This is a sound emitted when the unit is
generating Plasmacluster ions.
SWISHING NOISE
•
The soft, swishing noise is the sound of the
MIST SEEN AT INDOOR AIR OUTLET
•
In cooling operation, this is caused by the dif-
ference between the room air temperature
and the air discharged.
WATER VAPOUR
•
out of the outdoor unit during de-icing.
THE OUTDOOR UNIT DOES NOT STOP
•
After stopping the operation, the outdoor unit
will rotate its fan for about a minute to cool
down the unit.
ODOR EMITTED FROM THE PLASMA-
CLUSTER AIR OUTLET
•
This is the smell of ozone generated from the
Plasmacluster Ion generator. The ozone con-
centration is very small, posing no adverse ef-
fect on your health. The ozone discharged into
the air rapidly decomposes, and its density in
the room will not increase.
