Problem
●
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.
●
Whenever the electrical breaker is turned off then on again, the
protection circuit will operate for about 3 minutes, preventing unit
operation during that period.
●
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 flowing).
●
During Heating operation, a sizzling sound may be heard occa-
sionally. This sound is produced by the Automatic Defrosting op-
eration.
●
Some smell may be emitted from the indoor unit. This smell is
the result of room smells (furniture, tobacco, etc.) which have
been taken into the air conditioner.
●
During Cooling, 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.
●
During Heating operation, the outdoor unit’s fan may stop, and
steam may be seen rising from the unit. This is due to the Auto-
matic Defrosting operation.
●
When Heating operation starts, the fan stops temporarily to al-
low internal parts to warm up.
●
During Heating operation, if the room temperature rises above
the thermostat setting, the indoor and the outdoor unit will stop.
If you wish to warm the room further, set the thermostat to a
higher setting.
●
During Heating operation, the unit will temporarily stop opera-
tion (between 2 and 16 minutes) as the Automatic Defrosting mode
operates. During the Automatic Defrosting operation,
will
be shown on the remote controller display.
●
The fan may stop when the unit is monitoring the room’s tem-
perature.
●
During Heating operation, water may be produced from the out-
door unit due to the Automatic Defrosting operation.
●
The room temperature sensor may be malfunctioning. Please
consult authorized service personnel.
