10 The following symptoms do not indicate malfunction. SymptomCause Mist emerges from indoor unit. • Condensation effect due to cooling process. Water fl owing sound during operation. • Refrigerant fl ow inside the unit. The room has a peculiar odour. • This may be due to damp smell emitted by the wall, carpet, furniture or clothing. Indoor fan stops occasionally during automatic fan speed setting.• This helps to remove the surrounding odour. Airfl ow continues even after operation has stopped.• Extraction of remaining heat from the indoor unit (maximum 30 seconds). Operation is delayed a few minutes after restarting.• The delay is a protection to the unit’s compressor. Outdoor unit emits water/steam. • Condensation or evaporation occurs on pipes. TIMER indicator is always on. • The timer setting repeats daily once set. POWER indicator blinks during HEAT mode with no warm air supply (and fl ap is closed).• The unit is in defrost mode (and AIR SWING is set to AUTO). Indoor fan stops occasionally during heating operation.• To avoid unintended cooling effect. POWER indicator blinks before the unit is switched on.• This is a preliminary step in preparation for the operation when the ON timer has been set. Cracking sound during operation. • Changes of temperature caused the expansion/ contraction of the unit. Discoloration of some plastic parts. • Discoloration is subject to material types used in plastic parts, accelerated when exposed to heat, sun light, UV light, or environmental factor. Check the following before calling for servicing. SymptomCheck Operation in HEAT/COOL mode is not working effi ciently.• Set the temperature correctly. • Close all doors and windows. • Clean or replace the fi lters. • Clear any obstruction at the air inlet and air outlet vents.
