6.1 Symptoms that are NOT system
malfunctions
The following symptoms are NOT system malfunctions:
6.1.1

Symptom: The system does not operate

▪ The air conditioner does not start immediately after the ON/OFF
button on the user interface is pressed. If the operation lamp
lights, the air conditioner is in normal condition. It does not restart
immediately because one of its safety devices actuates to prevent
the air conditioner from being overloaded. The air conditioner will
turn on again automatically after 3 minutes.
▪ The air conditioner does not start immediately after the power
supply is turned on. Wait 1 minute until the microcomputer is
prepared for operation.
▪ The air conditioner does not restart immediately when the
temperature setting button is returned to its former position after
pushing. It does not restart immediately because one of its safety
devices actuates to prevent the air conditioner from being
overloaded. The air conditioner will turn on again automatically
after 3 minutes.
▪ The outdoor unit has stopped. This is because the room
temperature has reached the set temperature. The unit switches
to fan operation. " " (external control icon) is displayed on
the user interface and the actual operation is different from the
user interface setting. For multi-split models, the microcomputer
executes the following control depending on the operation mode
of other indoor units.
▪ The fan speed is different from the setting. Pressing the fan speed
control button does not change the fan speed. When the room
temperature reaches the set temperature in heating mode or the
unit's maximum capacity is reached, the outdoor unit will stop
operation and the indoor unit will operate in fan only mode (low
fan speed). In case of multi-split, the indoor unit alternately
operates in fan stop mode and fan only mode (LL= low fan
speed). This is to prevent the cool air from being blown directly
onto anyone present in the room.

places). If the interior of an indoor unit is extremely contaminated,
