TROUBLESHOOTING
WARNING!

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:

NORMAL
FUNCTION

Symptom

Problem

Doesnt operate immediately:

If the unit is stopped and then immediately started again, the compressor will not operate for about 3 minutes, in order to prevent
fuse blowouts.
Whenever the Power Supply Plug is disconnected and then reconnected to a power outlet, the protection circuit will operate for
about 3 minutes, preventing unit operation during that period.

Noise is heard:

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).

See Page

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.

Smells:

Mist or steam are


emitted:

Airflow is weak or stops:

During Heating operation, a sizzling sound may be heard occasional.


This sound is produced by the Automatic Defrosting operation.

26

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.

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.

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.

26

When Heating operation is started, fan speed is temporarily very


low, to allow internal parts to warm up.
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.

Water is produced from


the outdoor unit:

En-25

During Heating operation, the unit will temporarily stop operation (between 7 and 15 minutes) as the Automatic Defrosting mode
operates. During Automatic Defrosting operation, the OPERATION
indicator lamp will flash.

26

The fan may operate at very low speed during Dry operation or
when the unit is monitoring the rooms temperature.

During SUPER QUIET operation, the fan will operate at very low
speed.

In the monitor AUTO operation, the fan will operate at very low
speed.

During Heating operation, water may be produced from the outdoor unit due to Automatic Defrosting operation.

OPERATING TIPS
Operation and Performance
Heating Performance
This air conditioner operates on the heat-pump principle, absorbing heat from outdoor air and transferring that
heat indoors. As a result, the operating performance is
reduced as outdoor air temperature drops. If you feel that
insufficient heating performance is being produced, we
recommend you use this air conditioner in conjunction
with another kind of heating appliance.
Heat-pump air conditioners heat your entire room by
recirculating air throughout the room, with the result that
some time may be required after first starting the air conditioner until the room is heated.

Microcomputer-controlled Automatic Defrosting


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.

AUTO Restart
In Event of Power Interruption
The air conditioner power has been interrupted by a
power failure. The air conditioner will then restart automatically in its previous mode when the power is restored.
Operated by setting before the power failure.

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).
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.
