figures on the display do not flash:
• The recessed button has not been pressed correctly; press with a
rounded point, avoid exerting excessive pressure.
When pressing any button all symbols appear on the display:
• The recessed button for time setting is blocked due to excessive
pressure during use. The remote control has been irreversibly
damaged; replace with a new one.
When pressing the start button, the unit does not
acknowledge the signal with a "beep":
• The main switch is switched OFF, place the switch in the ON
position.
• The remote control batteries are exhausted; replace the batteries.
• The remote control has not been pointed correctly at the unit
receiver; turn the remote control OFF and repeat the operation,
pointing the remote control in the correct direction.
• There are obstacles (curtains, partitions, etc.) between the remote
control and the unit; repeat the operation after having removed the
obstacles.
• The receiver on the unit or the remote control is exposed to
intense sun radiation; avoid direct sunlight on the unit, draw
curtains or shut shades, or move the remote control.
• Signal transmission is obstructed by severe electromagnetic field
interference; avoid sending signals when computers or household
appliances (food processors, coffee makers, etc.) are operating
close by. Cellular or cordless telephones may also interfere with
the control.
When pressing the stop button the unit does not turn OFF and
does not acknowledge the signal with a "beep":
• The remote control batteries are exhausted; replace the batteries.
• The remote control has not been pointed correctly to the unit

pointing the remote control in the correct direction.
• There are obstacles (curtains, partitions, etc.) between the remote
control and the unit; repeat the operation after having removed the
obstacles.
• The receiver on unit or the remote control is exposed to intense

signal with a "beep", but the fan will not stop and LED Q
remains illuminated:
• Wait for 30 seconds, after which the unit will stop.
When pressing any function button, the remote control shows
the function requested on the display, but the unit does not
acknowledge the signal with a "beep" and does not carry out
the function:
• The remote control batteries are exhausted; replace the batteries.
• The remote control has not been pointed correctly to the unit
receiver; turn the remote control OFF and repeat the operation,
pointing the remote control in the correct direction.
• There are obstacles (curtains, partitions, etc.) between the remote
control and the unit; repeat the operation after having removed the
obstacles.
• The receiver on unit or the remote control is exposed to intense
sun radiation; avoid direct sunlight on the unit, draw curtains or
shut shades, or move the remote control.
• Signal transmission is obstructed by severe electromagnetic field

The remote control display does not change when any button
is pressed:

transmitted; wait for signal 1
operation.
Air conditioner will not start:
• The main switch is switched OFF, place the switch in the ON
position.
• The fuses on the main switch are burnt out; replace the fuses.
• Wait for 3 minutes: protection against frequent compressor cycling
is ON.
• Selected temperature is higher than the room temperature (or
lower in the heating mode).
Air conditioner is not supplying enough cooling (or heating):
• Air cannot circulate freely.
• Dirty filter reduces air quantity circulating.
• Doors and/or windows are open.
• Fan speed has been set to 'low'.
• Air flow direction is not correct for optimum ventilation.
• Selected temperature is not correct.
A slight mist is emitted from the unit:
• A slight mist, coming out of the unit air outlet, is sometimes
noticed during cooling operation. This is due to the cool air coming
into contact with the room air.
A slight whistling noise is heard when the air conditioner
starts or stops:
• This is due to the refrigerant beginning to circulate or an
adjustment of the refrigerant pressures. This is a normal operating
condition.
N indicator is flashing:
System malfunction.
Contact service organisation after having ensured that:
• Air circulation is not obstructed.
• Outdoor unit coil is not obstructed and causing severe reduction of
air circulation.
• Condensate drainage tube is not obstructed.
Restart air conditioner after having corrected the faults.
Q indicator is illuminated:
• A unit protection device has been activated (see Table I).
The unit emits unpleasant smells:
• Unpleasant smells can accumulate on the air filters and then be
dispersed into the room during air conditioner operation. Switch
the unit OFF and contact an authorised service centre to have the
filters cleaned. Restart unit in the ventilation (fan only) mode and
open windows to change room air.
The unit makes strange noises:
• Occasionally the unit makes strange noises at start-up, during
operation or when it has stopped. These are generally due to the
effect of temperature changes on the plastic parts.
WARNING:
(models with electric heaters):
• If the manual reset, thermal trip device cuts out, switch the unit
OFF and ON again at the main switch to reset.
If the malfunction persists, contact your local authorised dealer.
