Operation Tips
8
Do not overcool the room.
Keep blinds or curtains
closed.
Keep the room temperature
uniform.
This is not good for the health
and wastes electricity.
Do not let direct sunshine enter
the room when the air
conditioner is in operation.
Adjust the vertical and
horizontal airflow direction to
ensure a uniform temperature
in the room.
Make sure that the doors
and windows are shut tight.
Clean the air filter regularly.
Ventilate the room
occasionally.
Avoid opening doors and
windows as much as possible
to keep the cool air in the room.
Blockages in the air filter
reduces the airflow and lowers
the cooling and dehumidifying
effects. Clean at least once in
every two weeks.
Since windows are kept closed,
it is a good idea to open them
and ventilate the room now and
then.

Troubleshooting Tips! Save time and money!
Check the following points before requesting repairs or service.... If the malfunction persists,
please contact your dealer.
Case
Explanation
The air conditioner does not
operate.
• Have you made a mistake in timer operation?
• Has the fuse blown or has the circuit breaker been tripped?
The room has a peculiar
odor.
• Check that this is not a damp smell exuded by the walls, carpet,
furniture, or cloth items in the room.
It seems that condensation
is leaking from the air
conditioner.
• Condensation occurs when the airflow from the air conditioner
cools the warm room air.
Air conditioner does not
operate for about 3 minutes
when restarted.
• This is the protector of the mechanism.
• Wait about three minutes and operation will begin.
Does not cool or heat
effectively.
• Is the air filter dirty? See air filter cleaning instructions.
• Has the temperature been set incorrectly?
• Are the indoor unit's air inlet or outlet vents obstructed?
The air conditioner
operation is noisy.
• For a noise that sounds like water flowing.
-This is the sound of freon flowing inside the air conditioner unit.
• For a noise that sounds like the compressed air releasing into
atmosphere.
-This is the sound of the dehumidifying water being processed
inside the air conditioning unit.
Crack sound is heard.
• This sound is generated by the
expansion/constriction of the front panel, etc.
due to changes of temperature.
NOTE
WATER RESISTANT: The indoor unit is not water resistant and should not be exposed to excess water.
