•If operation stops due to a power failure, the [restart-preventing circuit at power failure] operates and disables unit operation even after power restoration. In this case, press the [ON/OFF] button again and start operation.

If malfunctions persist after you have checked the above, turn the power supply OFF and contact your dealer with information about the product name, the nature of the malfunction, etc. If the display of “[check]” and (4 digit) check code flashes, tell the dealer contents of the display (check code). Never attempt to repair by yourself.

The following symptoms are not air conditioner failures:

•The air blown out from the air conditioner can sometimes give off odors. This is due to cigarette smoke contained in the air of the room, the smell of cosmetics, the walls, furniture, etc., absorbed in the air conditioner.

•A hissing noise can be heard immediately after the air conditioner is started or stopped. This is the sound of the refrigeration flowing inside the air conditioner. This is normal.

•The air conditioner sometimes snaps or clicks at the beginning or end of cooling/heating operation. This is the sound of friction on the front panel and other sections due to expansion and contraction caused by temperature change. This is normal.
