in a room, the cooling load increases, resulting
in an insuffi cient cooling effect.
• When the outside temperature is high, the cooling
effect may not be suffi cient.
• It may take a certain time to reach the setting
temperature or may not reach that depending on
the size of the room, the ambient temperature,
and the like.

wall, carpet, furniture, cloth, etc. and blow it out
with the air.
Sound
Cracking sound is heard. • This sound is generated by the expansion/con-
traction of the front panel, etc. due to change in
temperature.
"Burbling" sound is heard. • This sound is heard when the outside air is
absorbed from the drain hose by turning on the
range hood or the ventilation fan, making water
fl owing in the drain hose to spout out.
This sound is also heard when the outside air
blows into the drain hose in case the outside

turns off, the indoor unit built-in clock will be
incorrect. As a result, the weekly timer may not
work normally.
