PROBLEM

POSSIBLE CAUSE

SOLUTION

 

 

 

Unit emits odor during operation

First use of unit, or after

Odor development can arise upon

 

storage of unit in dusty

first use and after a long period

 

area.

of non-use by storing in unsuitable

 

 

 

 

areas (e.g. dusty areas). Run the unit

 

 

for ½ a day. The smell will dissipate

 

 

after awhile. In the case of intense

 

 

odor development, air the room.

 

 

 

Compressor does not immediately

Normal operation

After pressing Power button ON,

activate when power button is

 

the compressor will not start for 3

pressed ON

 

minutes. Conditioned air will start to

 

 

blow once the compressor starts, but

 

 

it may take up to another 5 minutes

 

 

to feel the cooling or warming

 

 

effect in the room.

 

 

 

The unit deactivates

Normal operation

Upon reaching the set temperature,

 

 

the unit switches off automatically.

 

 

Check temperature setting.

 

 

 

The unit does not cool

Room temperature is high

Air conditioners operate more

satisfactorily

when unit is first turned ON

effectively if a cooler room

 

 

temperature is maintained. To

 

 

adequately cool the air in a very

 

 

warm room requires much more time

 

 

and energy.

 

Unit is located outdoors

Move unit indoors.

 

and outside air temperature

 

 

is very high. Unit will

 

 

only provide air that is

 

 

approximately 20° cooler

 

 

than outside air.

If the water tank is full, the warning

 

 

sign “E4” appears in the display. To

 

 

restart operation of the unit, please

 

 

remove the plug of the lower drain

 

 

outlet to allow the water to drain

the unit again. The unit can now be

 

 

used as usual.

 

 

 

DF

De-icing mode

This procedure is completely normal

 

 

and protects the system from

 

 

icing and failure. The unit starts

minutes (depending on the function

 

 

setting). This procedure repeats itself

 

 

regularly.
