There are no components in the air conditioner sending out chemical smells. But, when the air condi-

find and root out the problem or refresh the room frequently.
Whenever the air conditioner is turned on, it smells musty.
It is due to the improper keeping of the product after its use. When keeping the product, dry up the
inside with the operation of Ventilation to prevent must. When the product is kept without drying up the
inside with Ventilation, mold would grow inside resulting in must. So, open the windows and switch on
the Ventilation function to get rid of the saturated smell inside.

It occurs when the outdoor unit is exposed to direct sunlight and the hot air does not escape properly.
Set up a sun blind over the outdoor unit and clear the neighboring obstacles from the outdoor unit to
provide good ventilation. When it goes off frequently during a heat wave, it would prevent the turn-off and
increase the cooling capacity cleaning the outdoor unit or spraying some water to the heat exchanger.
