• This is a preliminary step in preparation for the
operation when the ON timer has been set.
When ON Timer is set, the unit may start earlier
(up to 15 minutes) before the actual set time in
order to achieve the desired temperature on time.
• The timer setting repeats daily once set.
• The delay is a protection to the unit's
compressor.
• This helps to remove the surrounding odour.
• This may be due to damp smell emitted by the
wall, carpet, furniture or clothing.
• Changes of temperature caused the expansion/
contraction of the unit.
• Refrigerant flow inside the unit.
• Condensation effect due to cooling process.
• Condensation or evaporation occurs on pipes.
• Discoloration is subject to material types used in
plastic parts, accelerated when exposed to heat,
sun light, UV light or environmental factor.
• The fan rotate at higher speed to boost cooling
performance during initial operation.
• Set the temperature correctly.
• Close all doors and windows.
• Clean or replace the filters.
