In the event of a malfunction (burning smell, etc.), immediately stop operation, disconnect the
power supply plug or turn off the circuit breaker, and consult authorized service personnel.
Merely turning off the unit’s power switch will not completely disconnect the unit from the power
source. Always be sure to disconnect the power supply plug or turn off your circuit breaker to en-
sure that power is completely off.

FUNCTION
Does not operate
immediately:
●
If the unit is stopped and then immediately started again, the
compressor will not operate for about 3 minutes, in order to
prevent fuse blowouts.
●
Whenever the power supply plug is disconnected and then
reconnected to a power outlet, the protection circuit will oper-
ate for about 3 minutes, preventing unit operation during that
period.

Noise is heard:
●
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 flow-
ing).

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 operation, a sizzling sound may be heard oc-
casionally. This sound is produced by the automatic defrosting
operation.

the result of room smells (furniture, tobacco, etc.) which have
been taken into the air conditioner.

Mist or steam are
emitted:
