AUTOMATIC CONTROL
6. AUTOMATIC CONTROLS 
  The system is equipped with the following functions.
THREE MINUTE GUARD
  The compressor remains off for at least 3 minutes once it 
has stopped. If the system is started within approximately 3 
minutes after it has stopped, the RUN indicator is activated. 
However, the cooling operation or the heating operation 
remains off and does not start until after 3 minutes has 
elapsed.
FROST PREVENTION DURING COOLING 
OPERATION
  When the system is operated in a low temperature room, the 
cooling operation may be changed to fan operation for a while 
to avoid frost formation on the indoor heat exchanger.
AUTOMATIC RESTART AFTER POWER 
FAILURE
  If the power supply is interrupted for short periods of time (up 
to 2 seconds) the Remote Control switch will retain the settings 
and the unit will restart when the power is restored.
  If Automatic Restart is required after periods of lost power 
supply in excess of 2 seconds please contact your distributor 
(optional function).
  If your system is a Heat Pump Model also are equipped by the 
following functions:

SLOW AIR CONTROL DURING HEATING 
OPERATION
  When the compressor is stopped while the thermostat is 
OFF, or the system is performing the automatic defrosting 
operation, the fan speed is set at the slow position.
AUTOMATIC DEFROSTING CYCLE
  When the heating operation is stopped by pressing RUN/
STOP switch, frosting on the outdoor unit is checked 
and the defrosting operation may be performed for the 
maximum of 10 minutes.
PREVENTION OF OVERLOAD OPERATION
  When the outdoor temperature is too high during heating 
operation, heating operation is stopped due to activation of 
the outdoor thermistor until the temperature becomes low.
HOT START DURING HEATING OPERATION
  To prevent cold air discharge, the fan speed is controlled 
from the slow position to the set position according to the 
discharge air temperature. At this time the lover is fixes 
horizontally.

7. BASIC TROUBLESHOOTING 
 CAUTION:
When water leakage from the indoor unit occurs, stop the 
operation and contact your contractor
When you smell or white smoke occurs from the unit, stop 
the system and contact your contractor.
THIS IS NOT ABNORMAL
Sound from deforming Part  
During system starting or stopping, and abrading sound might 
be heard. However, this is due to thermal deformation of 
plastic parts. It is not abnormal.
Refrigerant Flow Sound 
While the system is being started or stopping, sound from the 
refrigerant flow may be heard.
Smells from Indoor Unit 
Smell adheres on indoor unit after a long period of time. Clean 
the air filter and panels or make a good ventilation.
Steam from Outdoor Heat Exchanger 
(Only for Heat Pump Models) 
During defrosting operation, ice on the outdoor heat exchanger 
is melted, resulting in making steam.
Dew on Air Panel (RCI and RCD Units)
 
When the cooling operation continues for a long period of time 
under high humidity conditions (higher than 27°C DB/80% 
R.H.), dew can form on the air panel.
Dew on Cabinet (Only for RPI Units) When the cooling 
operation continues for a long period of timer (higher than 
27°C DB/80% R.H.), dew can form on the cabinet.

NO OPERATION
  Check whether the SET TEMPERATURE is set at the 
correct temperature.
NOT COOLING WELL OR HEATING WELL
Check for obstruction of air flow of the outside or inside 
units.
Check if too much heat source exists in the room.
Check if the air filter is clogged with dust.
Check to see if the doors or windows are opened or not.
Check if the temperature condition is not within the 
operating range.
IF TROUBLE STILL REMAINS...
  If the trouble still remains even after checking the above 
items, contact your service contractor and inform the 
following data:
- Unit Model Name
- Content of Trouble
- Alarm Code no. on Liquid Crystal Display
NOTE:
Except for a long period of shutdown, keep the main 
switch ON, since the oil heater is energised when the 
compressor is stopped.
