SOLUTION
• Because of the protective mechanism, the appliance does not start
operating immediately to keep the unit from overloading.
The air conditioner will start in 3 minutes.
• Check that the power plug is properly connected. Insert the power plug
into the wall socket correctly.
• Check if the circuit breaker is switched off.
• Check if there is a power failure.
• Check your fuse. Make sure it is not blown out.
• Check if you selected Fan mode.
Press the Mode button on the remote control to select another mode.
• Check if the set temperature is higher than the current temperature.
Press the Temp or  button on the remote control to change the set
temperature. Press the Temp or  button to increase or decrease the
temperature.
• Check if the air filter is blocked by dirt. Clean the Air filter every two weeks.
• Check if the air conditioner has just been turned on. If so, wait 3 minutes.
• Check if you selected Auto or Dry mode.
The air conditioner automatically adjusts the fan speed to Auto in Auto/Dry
mode.
• Check if you press the Set/Cancel button on the remote control after you
have set the time.
• Check if the appliance is running in a smoky area or if there is a smell
entering from outside. Operate the air conditioner in Fan mode or open
the windows to air out the room.
• A bubbling sound may be heard when the refrigerant is circulating through
the compressor. Let the air conditioner operate in a selected mode.
• Check if the air conditioner has been cooling for an extended period of
time with the air flow blades pointed downwards. Condensation may
generate due to the difference in temperature.
• Check if your batteries are depleted.
• Make sure batteries are correctly installed.
• Make sure nothing is blocking your remote control sensor.
• Check that there are strong lighting apparatus near the air conditioner.
Strong light which comes from fluorescent bulbs or neon signs may
interrupt the electric waves.
• This IS NOT AN ERROR CODE, but the system is informing us it is
preforming a regular defrost cycle (melting the ice of outdoor unit heat
exchanger). The code "dF" will disappear automatically at the end of
defrost.
