Sound |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cracking sound is heard. | • This sound is generated by the expansion/ | ||
| contraction of the front panel, etc. due to | ||
| change in temperature. | ||
|
|
|
|
The sound as burbling is | • This sound is heard when the outside air is | ||

| the range hood or the ventilation fan, making | ||
| water flowing in the drain hose to spout out. | ||
| This sound is also heard when the outside air | ||
| blows into the drain hose in case the outside | ||
| wind is strong. | ||

|
|
|
Mechanical sound is heard | • This is the switching sound in turning on/off | ||

In the following cases, stop using the air conditioner and consult your dealer.
•When water leaks or drips from the indoor unit.
•When the upper operation indicator lamp blinks.
•When the breaker trips frequently.
