5. Caring for the machine
Always have filter maintenance performed by a service person.
Before care-taking, turn the power supply OFF.
Caution:
•
Before you start cleaning, stop operation and turn OFF the power supply.
Remember that the fan is rotating inside at high speed, posing a serious
risk of injury.
•
Indoor units are equipped with filters to remove the dust of sucked-in air.
Clean the filters using the methods shown in the following sketches. (The
standard filter should normally be cleaned once a week, and the long-life
filter at the beginning of each season.)
•
The life of the filter depends on where the unit is installed and how it is
operated.
How to clean
•
Clear dust away lightly or clean it up with a vacuum cleaner. In the case of
severe staining, wash the filter in lukewarm water mixed with dissolved neutral
detergent or water, and then rinse off the detergent completely. After washing,
dry it and fix it back into place.
Caution:
•
Do not dry the filter by exposing it to direct sunlight or warming it using
fire, etc. Doing so can result in the deformation of the filter.
•
Washing it in hot water (more than 50 °C [122 °F]) can also result in defor-
mation.
Caution:
Never pour water or flammable sprays onto the air conditioner. Cleaning using
these methods can result in the failure of the air conditioner, electric shock,
or fire.
6. Troubleshooting
Before you ask for repair service, check the following points:
State of Machine
It does not run.
Air flows out but it does
not cool enough or heat
enough.
Cool air or warm air
does not come out.
It runs briefly, but soon
stops.
The sound of the ex-
haust and rotation of
the motor can still be
heard after stop of run-
ning.
The sound of the ex-
haust and the rotation
of the motor can be
heard intermittently af-
ter stop of running.
Warm air comes out in-
termittently when the
thermostat is OFF or
during fan operation.
Troubleshooting
Press the [ON/OFF] button after power restoration.
Turn the power supply ON.
Replace fuse.
Put in the earth leakage breaker.
After checking the set temperature and inlet temperature
on the liquid crystal display, refer to [Room temperature
adjustment], and operate the adjustment button.
Clean up the filter.
(Refer to [Caring for the machine].)
Remove.
Close.
Wait for a while.
(To protect the compressor, a 3-minute restart-preventing
circuit is built into the indoor unit. Therefore, there are occa-
sions sometimes when the compressor does not start run-
ning immediately. There are cases when it does not run for
as long as 3 minutes.)
Wait for a while.
(Heating operation starts after ending defrosting operation.)
Rerun after removal
Rerun after cleaning the filter. (Refer to [Caring for the ma-
chine].)
Wait for 3 minutes.
It soon stops. (If the noise occurs more than 2-3 times in an
hour, ask for repair service.)
It soon stops. (If the room temperature rises uncomfortably
high in a small room, stop operation.)
Cause
Power failure
The power supply is turned OFF.
The fuse in the power supply is gone.
The earth leakage breaker is gone.
Improper temperature adjustment
The filter is filled with dust and dirt.
There are some obstacles at the air inlet and outlet of
the indoor and outdoor units.
Windows and doors are open.
The restart-preventing circuit is in operation for 3 min-
utes.
Indoor unit operation was restarted during the heating
and defrosting operation.
There are some obstacles at the air inlet and outlet of
the indoor and outdoor units.
The filter is filled with dust and dirt.
When other indoor units are engaged in cooling opera-
tion, the machine stops after running a drain-up mecha-
nism for 3 minutes when air-cooling operation is
stopped.
When other indoor units are engaged in cooling opera-
tion, drained water is brought in. If the drain water is
collected, the drain-up mechanism initiates a draining
operation.
When other indoor units are engaged in heating op-
eration, the control valves are opened and closed from
time to time to maintain the stability of the system.

•
If operation stops due to a power failure, the [restart-preventing circuit at power failure] operates and disables unit operation even after power restoration. In this case,
press the [ON/OFF] button again and start operation.
If malfunctions persist after you have checked the above, turn the power supply OFF and contact your dealer with information about the product name, the nature of the
malfunction, etc. If the display of “[CHECK]” and (4 digit) check code flashes, tell the dealer contents of the display (check code). Never attempt to repair by yourself.
The following symptoms are not air conditioner failures:
•
The air blown out from the air conditioner can sometimes give off odors. This is due to cigarette smoke contained in the air of the room, the smell of cosmetics, the walls,
furniture, etc., absorbed in the air conditioner.
•
A hissing noise can be heard immediately after the air conditioner is started or stopped. This is the sound of the refrigeration flowing inside the air conditioner. This is
normal.
•
The air conditioner sometimes snaps or clicks at the beginning or end of cooling/heating operation. This is the sound of friction on the front panel and other sections due
to expansion and contraction caused by temperature change. This is normal.
•
The fan speed changes in spite of not changing the setting. Not to blow out cold air at the beginning of heating operation, the air conditioner automatically adjusts the fan
speed gradually from lower to the set speed. It also adjust its fan speed to protect the fan motor when return air temperature or fan speed excessively rises.
