TROUBLESHOOTING
In the event of a malfunction (burning smell, etc.), immediately stop operation, disconnect the
Power Supply Plug, and consult authorized service personnel.
Merely turning off the units power switch will not completely disconnect the unit from the
power source. Always be sure to disconnect the Power Supply Plug or turn off your circuit
breaker to ensure that power is completely off.
Before requesting service, perform the following checks:
WARNING!
Symptom
Doesnt operate
immediately:
Noise is heard:
Smells:
Mist or steam are
emitted:
Airflow is weak or stops:
Water is produced from
the outdoor unit:
The AIR CLEAN indicator
lamp (green) will begin to
slowly flash (as shown in
the figure):
The AIR CLEAN indicator
lamp (green) will begin to
flash quickly (as shown in
the figure):
Problem
G If the unit is stopped and then immediately started again, the com-
pressor will not operate for about 3 minutes, in order to prevent
fuse blowouts.
G Whenever the Power Supply Plug is disconnected and then re-
connected to a power outlet, the protection circuit will operate for
about 3 minutes, preventing unit operation during that period.
G During operation and immediately after stopping the unit, the
sound of water flowing in the air conditioners piping may be
heard. Also, noise may be particularly noticeable for about 2 to 3
minutes after starting operation (sound of coolant flowing).
G During operation, a slight squeaking sound may be heard. This is
the result of minute expansion and contraction of the front cover
due to temperature changes.
G During Heating operation, a sizzling sound may be heard occasional.
This sound is produced by the Automatic Defrosting operation.
G Some smell may be emitted from the indoor unit. This smell is
the result of room smells (furniture, tobacco, etc.) which have
been taken into the air conditioner.
G During Cooling or Dry operation, a thin mist may be seen emitted
from the indoor unit. This results from the sudden Cooling of
room air by the air emitted from the air conditioner, resulting in
condensation and misting.
G During Heating operation, the outdoor units fan may stop, and
steam may be seen rising from the unit. This is due to Automatic
Defrosting operation.
G When Heating operation is started, fan speed is temporarily very
low, to allow internal parts to warm up.
G During Heating operation, if the room temperature rises above
the thermostat setting, the outdoor unit will stop, and the indoor
unit will operate at very low fan speed. If you wish to warm the
room further, set the thermostat for a higher setting.
G During Heating operation, the unit will temporarily stop opera-
tion (between 7 and 15 minutes) as the Automatic Defrosting mode
operates. During Automatic Defrosting operation, the OPERATION
indicator lamp will flash.
G The fan may operate at very low speed during Dry operation or
when the unit is monitoring the rooms temperature.
G During SUPER QUIET operation, the fan will operate at very low
speed.
G In the monitor AUTO operation, the fan will operate at very low
speed.
G During Heating operation, water may be produced from the out-
door unit due to Automatic Defrosting operation.
G After approximately 400 hours of Air Cleaning Mode use, the AIR
CLEAN indicator lamp will begin to flash slowly (as shown in the
figure). When this occurs, please stop the system, remove the
mains socket and carry out maintenance on the dust collecting
unit's air filter.
G After approximately 500 hours of Air Cleaning Mode use, the AIR
CLEAN indicator lamp will begin to flash quickly (as shown in the
figure). At this point, Air Cleaning will stop functioning. Please
stop the system, remove the mains socket and carry out
maintenance on the dust collecting unit's air filter.

Items to check
G Is the Power Supply Plug disconnected its outlet?
G Has there been a power failure?
G Has a fuse blown out, or a circuit breaker been tripped?
G Is the timer operating?
G Is the air filter dirty?
G Air the air conditioners intake grille or outlet port blocked?
G Did you adjust the room temperature settings (thermostat)
correctly?
G Is there a window or door open?
G In the case of Cooling operation, is a window allowing bright sun-
light to enter? (Close the curtains.)
G In the case of Cooling operation, are there heating apparatus and
computers inside the room, or are there too many people in the
room?
G Is the unit set for SUPER QUIET operation?
G Are the Remote Control Units batteries dead?
G Are the Remote Control Units batteries loaded properly?
If the problem persists after performing these checks, or if you notice burning smells, or the TIMER indicator lamp (Fig. 3 6)
flashes, immediately stop operation, disconnect the Power Supply Plug (Fig. 1 D), and consult authorized service personnel.
OPERATING TIPS
AUTO Restart
In Event of Power Interruption
G The air conditioner power has been interrupted by a
power failure. The air conditioner will then restart auto-
matically in its previous mode when the power is restored.
G Operated by setting before the power failure.
Microcomputer-controlled Automatic Defrosting
G When using the Heating mode under conditions of low outdoor temperature and high humidity, frost may form on the
outdoor unit, resulting in reduced operating performance.
In order to prevent this kind of reduced performance, this unit is equipped with a Microcomputer-controlled Automatic
Defrosting function. If frost forms, the air conditioner will temporarily stop, and the defrosting circuit will operate briefly (for
about 7-15 minutes).
During Automatic Defrosting operation, the OPERATION indicator lamp (red) will flash.
Operation and Performance
G If a power failure occurs during TIMER operation, the timer
will be reset and the unit will begin (or stop) operation at the
new time setting. In the event that this (kind of timer fault
occurs the TIMER Indicator Lamp will flash (see Page. 3)).
G Use of other electrical appliances (electric shaver, etc.) or
nearby use of a wireless radio transmitter may cause the
air conditioner to malfunction. In this event, temporarily
disconnect the Power Supply Plug, reconnect it, and then
use the Remote Control Unit to resume operation.
