Smells Q Whenever the air conditioner is turned on, it stinks.
A When are no components in the air conditioner sending out chemical smells. But, when the air condi-
tioner is turned on, other smell sources are sucked into the air conditioner and get out of it. So, find and
root out the smell sources. Generally, when the drain hose is taken out to the washing room or there are
sources of smells such as a diaper bin, a shoe shelf or a socks bin, bad smells generate. Also, it occurs
where glass cleaners or air fresheners are used; when they are sucked in interacting with dusts and
moistures inside, bad smells generate. these kinds of organic materials noxious to human bodies. So, we
recommend against the use of them.
Q Whenever the air conditioner is turned on, it smells sour.
A When the room is papered recently, its paste smells would be sucked inside. Also, when the
air conditioner is installed in the study room of young boys loving sweat-generating activities
such as the basketball, excessive sweats evaporate and get sucked into the air conditioner
resulting in bad smells. So, find and root out problem or refresh the room frequently.
Q Whenever the air conditioner is turned on, it smells musty.
A It is due to the improper keeping of the product after its use. When keeping the product, dry
up the inside with the operation of ventilation to prevent must. When the product is kept
without drying up the inside with ventilation, mold would grow inside resulting in must. So,
open the windows and switch on the ventilation function to get rid of the saturated smell
inside.
Q Whenever the air conditioner is turned on, it sends out bad smells such as stale smells.
A It occurs generally when there are pet animals in the house. Their smells stay at the same
place. But, when the air conditioner is turned on, the air gets circulated resulting in the circu-
lation of the smells. So, find and root out the problem or refresh the room frequently.
Q It sends out bad smells.
A When the air filter is filthy, it could send out bad smells. So, clean the filter and ventilate the
room with the windows open while operating the ventilation function.
Operation Q It won't start.
A There is a power failure or it is plugged out. Also, check if the power distribution panel is
switched o.
Q It goes off during operation.
A When the hot air does not escape properly, it goes o during operation. it occurs when it does
not ventilate properly because the outdoor unit is covered, the back of the outdoor unit is
blocked by a cardboard or a plywood panel, and the front of the outdoor unit is blocked by the
closed window or other obstacles. Clear the above obstacles from the outdoor unit.
Q It generally works properly. But, when it's considerably hot, it goes off during operation.
A It occurs when the outdoor unit is exposed to direct sunlight and the hot air does not escape
properly. Set up a sun blind over the outdoor unit and clear the neighboring obstacles from
the outdoor unit to provide good ventilation. When it goes o frequently during a heat wave, it
would prevent the turno and increase the cooling capacity cleaning the outdoor unit or spray-
ing some water to the heat exchanger.
Q The remote controller won't operate.
A When the batteries run out or the transmitter or receiver of the remote controller is blocked
by obstacles, change the batteries or keep the obstacles away from the controlling area. Also,
the remote controller may mot work under intensive light from a 3-wave length lamp or a
neon sign due to the EMI. In this case, take the remote controller closer to the receiver.
