reaches near the set temperature, the compressor
stops, then the indoor unit fan speed reduced.
Indoor fan stops occasionally during heating
operation.

• This is the preliminary step to prepare for the TIMER
operation after it has been set.
• When Timer is set ON, the unit may start earlier (up to 35
minutes) before the actual set time to achieve the desired
temperature on time.
• The unit is in defrost mode (and AIR SWING has been set to
AUTO).
• The system has been locked to operate in HEAT mode only.
• When Timer has been set, the Timer setting repeats daily.
• The lowest fan speed is to have a low noise operation, so
cooling/heating capacity may be reduced depending on the
condition. Increase the fan speed to increase the capacity.
• To prevent the room humidty rising. The indoor fan will
resume running according to the set fan speed when room
temperature increase.
• To avoid unintended cooling effect.
• This is to help remove the surrounding odour.
30 seconds).
• This may be due to damp smell emitted by the wall, carpet,
furniture or clothing.
• Changes in temperature caused the unit to expand and
contract.
• Refrigerant fl ow inside the unit.
• During cooling operation, the discharged cold air may
condense to water vapour.
• During cooling operation, condensation occurs on cold pipes
and the condensed water may drip from the outdoor unit.
• During heating operation, frost formed on the outdoor unit
during deice cycle melts and is discharged as water or steam.
• Discoloration is subjected to the types of materials used in
plastic parts. It is accelerated when exposed to heat, sun
light, UV light or environmental factors.
• Set the temperature correctly.
• Close all doors and windows.
• Clean or replace the fi lters.
• Clear any obstruction at the air inlet and air outlet vents.
• Check if the unit has been installed at an incline.
• Close the front panel properly.
• Insert the batteries correctly.
• Replace weak batteries.
• Check if the circuit breaker is tripped.
• Check if timers have been set.
• Make sure the receiver is not obstructed.
• Certain fl uorescent lights may interfere with the signal
