FUNCTION
Does not operate immedi-
ately:
●
If the unit is stopped and then immediately started again, the com-
pressor will not operate for about 3 minutes, in order to prevent
fuse blowouts.

protection circuit will operate 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
fl
owing 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
fl
owing).

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

During cooling or dry 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.
