Troubleshooting
The following symptoms do not indicate malfunction�
Symptom Cause
Water owing sound during operation. •Refrigerant ow inside the unit.
Operation is delayed a few minutes
after restarting�
•The delay is a protection for the compressor�
Outdoor unit emits water/steam� •Condensation or evaporation occurring in the pipes�
Steam comes out of the outdoor unit in
the heating mode�
•It is caused by defrost operation in the heat exchanger�
Outdoor unit does not operate� •It is caused by the protection control of the system when outdoor temperature is
out of the operating range�
System operation switches off� •It is caused by the protection control of the system� When the water inlet
temperature is lower than 10 °C, the compressor stops and the backup heater
power turns on�
System is hard to heat up� •When the panel and the oor are heated simultaneously, warm water temperature
may decrease, which may reduce the heating ability of the system�
•When the outdoor air temperature is low, the system may need longer time to heat
up�
•Discharge outlet or intake inlet in the outdoor unit is blocked by some obstacle,
such as a pile of snow�
•When the preset water outlet temperature is low, the system may need longer time
to heat up�
System does not heat up instantly� •System will take some time to heat up the water if it starts to operate at cold water
temperature�
Backup heater is automatically turned
ON when it is disabled�
•It is caused by the protection control of the indoor unit heat exchanger�
Operation starts automatically when
the timer is not set�
•Sterilization timer has been set�
Loud refrigerant noise continues for
several minutes�
•It is caused by protection control during deice operation at outdoor ambient
temperature lower than -10 °C�
