be cleaned at least once every 3 MONTHS. This cleaning and maintenance shall be carried out by a
qualified person.
Failure to clean the indoor/outdoor units regularly will result in poor performance, icing, water leakage and
even compressor failure.

3-13. Air Conditioner Operations and Performance
Check before operation
• Check whether earth wire is disconnected or out of place.
• Check that air filter is installed to the indoor unit.
Heating capacity
• During heating operation the heat pump system operates by
absorbing the heat from the outside air and discharging it into the room.
Therefore if the outside temperature drops, the units heating capacity will decrease.
• When the temperature of the outside air is low, it is recommended that you use other forms of heating in
conjunction with the air conditioner.
Defrost operation during heating operation
• If the outdoor unit has a build up of frost during the heating operation, the operation mode changes auto-
matically to defrost mode to increase the heating effect (for approximatley 2 to 10 minutes).
• During defrost operation, fans of the indoor and the outdoor units will stop.
Protection for 3 minutes
• The outdoor unit will not operate for approximately 3 minutes after the air conditioner has been immediately
restarted after being stop, or the power supply has been turned on. This is to protect the system.
Main power failure
• If a power failure occurs during operation, all operations will stop.
• When restarting the unit, push the ON/OFF button again.
Fan rotation of stopped unit
• When other indoor units within the same system are in operation, the fan on the indoor units that are on
"stand-by" will rotate to protect the machine once per approximately 1 hour for several minutes.
Protective device (High pressure switch)
The high pressure switch will stop the unit automatically when excessive load is applied to the air conditioner.
If the protective device operates, the operation lamp will stay lit but the operation will stop.
When the protective device operates, check characters "
The protective device may operate in the following cases.
• When suction or discharge port on the outdoor unit is blocked.
• When strong wind blows continuously against the discharge port of the outdoor unit.
• When dust or dirt is excessively adhered to the air filter of the indoor unit.
• When the discharge port of the indoor unit is blocked.
Cooling/heating operation of a Heat Recovery Multi air conditioner
• When the outdoor temperature goes out of the operating range, the cooling or heating modes may not be
performed in order to protect the equipment. In this case, the "
Characteristics of heating operation
• Hot air will not be blown out immediately from the indoor unit. It will take between 3 to 5 minutes (depending
on temperature conditions of the room and the outside) before the indoor heat exchanger warms up suffi-
ciently, to allow hot air to be blown.
• During operation, the indoor unit may stop if the outside temperature becomes to high.
• When other indoor units are in heating operation, the fan operation of the indoor unit on fan only operation
may be stopped temporarily to prevent hot air from being blown out.
Characteristics of cooling/heating simultaneous operation
• If the outdoor temperature drops during operation, the fan of the outdoor unit may stop.
