FILTER

 

 

TEMP. ON/OFF

Indicates that the filter needs cleaning. Ask authorized people to clean the filter.

When resetting “FILTER” display

When the [FILTER] button is pressed two times successively after cleaning the filter, the display goes off and is reset.

Note:

When two or more different types of indoor unit are controlled, the cleaning period differs with the type of filter. When the master unit cleaning period arrives, “FILTER” is displayed. When the filter display goes off, the cumula- tive time is reset.

“FILTER” indicates the cleaning period when the air conditioner was used under general indoor air conditions by criteria time. Since the degree of dirti- ness depends on the environmental conditions, clean the filter accordingly.

The filter cleaning period cumulative time differs with the model.

This indication is not available for wireless remote controller.

11. Trouble Shooting

Having trouble?

Here is the solution. (Unit is operating normally.)

Air conditioner does not heat or cool well.

Clean the filter. (Airflow is reduced when the filter is dirty or clogged.)

 

Check the temperature adjustment and adjust the set temperature.

 

Make sure that there is plenty of space around the outdoor unit. Is the

 

indoor unit air intake or outlet blocked?

 

Has a door or window been left open?

When heating operation starts, warm air does not blow from the indoor unit

Warm air does not blow until the indoor unit has sufficiently warmed up.

after detecting the base position.

A flowing water sound or occasional hissing sound is heard.

These sounds can be heard when refrigerant is flowing in the air condi-

 

tioner or when the refrigerant flow is changing.

A cracking or creaking sound is heard.

These sounds can be heard when parts rub against each due to expan-

 

sion and contraction from temperature changes.

The room has an unpleasant odor.

The indoor unit draws in air that contains gases produced from the walls,

 

carpeting, and furniture as well as odors trapped in clothing, and then

 

blows this air back into the room.

A white mist or vapor is emitted from the indoor unit.

If the indoor temperature and the humidity are high, this condition may

 

occur when operation starts.

 

During defrosting mode, cool airflow may blow down and appear like a

 

mist.

Water or vapor is emitted from the outdoor unit.

During cooling mode, water may form and drip from the cool pipes and

 

joints.

 

During heating mode, water may form and drip from the heat exchanger.

 

During defrosting mode, water on the heat exchanger evaporates and

 

water vapor may be emitted.

The operation indicator does not appear in the remote controller display.

Turn on the power switch. “ ” will appear in the remote controller display.
