electromagnetic field; avoid sending signals when computers or
household appliances (food processors, coffee grinders, etc.) are
operating close by.
Cellular or cordless telephones may also interfere with the

Air conditioner will not start:
• Main supply switch is OFF; switch to ON.
• Fuses on main switch are blown; replace fuses.
• Wait for 3 minutes: protection against frequent compressor cycling
is on if the symbol P is lit.
• Selected temperature is higher than the room temperature (or
lower in the heating mode).
Air conditioner is not supplying enough cooling (or heating):
• Air flow cannot circulate freely.
• Dirty filters reduce air quantity circulating.
• Doors and/or windows are open.
• Fan speed has been set to 'low'.
• Air flow direction is not correct.
• Selected temperature is not correct.
A slight mist is emitted from the unit:
• A slight mist, coming out of the unit air outlet, can sometimes be
noticed during cooling operation. This is due to the cool air coming
into contact with the room air.
A slight whistling noise is heard when the air conditioner
starts or stops:
• This is due to the refrigerant beginning to circulate or an
adjustment of the refrigerant pressures.
R indicator is flashing:
System malfunction.
Contact service organization after having made the following
checks:
• Filters are clean.
• Air circulation is not obstructed.
• Outdoor unit coil is not obstructed with a severe reduction of air
circulation.
Restart air conditioner after having corrected the faults.
Water vapour (mist) emanating from the outdoor unit:
• It is normal in heat pump operation, when defrost is automatically
activated.
Unpleasant smells coming from the unit:
• Unpleasant smells can be caused by substances accumulated in
the air filter.
Switch the unit off and contact an authorised service centre to
have the filters cleaned.
Restart unit in the ventilation (fan only) mode and open windows
to change room air.
Strange noises coming from the unit:
• Occasionally the unit can emit some strange short noises during
operation or when it has stopped.
These are generally due to the effect of temperature changes on
the plastic parts.
Starting in heating mode for heat pump systems:
• If the unit starts at low ambient temperatures, it takes a little
while to reach a comfortable room temperature.
When the unit is started by the remote control, it emits a signal
beep, but the louvre does not swing and the fan does not run
until the operating temperature has been reached. During this
period the P indicator light is on.
