4. Troubleshooting
E
Before you call out a repair man, check the following table to see whether there is a simple solution to your problem.
Problem
Unit will not start.
Unit discharges air well, but fails to cool
the room well.
4
Unit does not start immediately.
Unit stops soon after starting.
NOTE: After a power cut, the unit will not restart automatically. You will have to restart it by pressing the POWER - ON/OFF button on the remote controller.
If none of the above apply, turn the main switch off and contact the dealer from whom you bought the air-conditioner, telling him the model name and the nature of the problem.
Do not try to fix the unit yourself.
In any of the following cases, turn off the main power switch and contact your local dealer for service:
Inspection status: The unit stops and "1" in the time remaining display of the timer lights up as well as the green lamp where the trouble occurred. All of the other lamps are
off.
• The switches do not work properly.
• The circuit breaker trips frequently (or the fuse blows frequently).
• Water has accidentally been splashed into the unit.
• Water leaks from the unit.
• Something is accidentally dropped into the air-conditioner.
• An unusual noise is heard during operation.
The following do not indicate any malfunction:
Odours: smells such as tobacco or cosmetic odours may persist after they have been sucked into the unit.
Sound of liquid flowing inside indoor unit: this can occur during or after operation and is simply the sound of refrigerant being circulated inside the unit.
Ticking sound coming from indoor unit: this can occur when cooling has just begun or has just stopped. It is caused by the indoor unit shrinking or expanding slightly due to the
change in temperature.
