Troubleshooting
The following symptoms do not indicate malfunction.
Symptom Cause
POWER indicator blinks before the unit is 
switched on.
• This is the preliminary step to prepare for the TIMER 
operation after it has been set.
When Timer is set ON, the unit may start earlier (up to 
35 minutes) before the actual set time to achieve the 
desired temperature on time.
POWER indicator blinks during HEAT mode 
with no warm air supply (and fl ap is closed).
• The unit is in defrost mode (and AIR SWING has been 
set to AUTO).
POWER INDICATOR BLINKS, THEN STOPS 
BLINKING DURING COOL/DRY MODE.
• The system has been locked to operate in HEAT mode 
only.
TIMER indicator is always ON. • When Timer has been set, the Timer setting repeats 
daily.
Operation is delayed a few minutes after 
restarting.
• The delay is a protection to the unit’s compressor.
Cooling/heating capacity is reduced during 
lowest fan speed setting.
• The lowest fan speed is to have a low noise operation, 
so cooling/heating capacity may be reduced depending 
on the condition. Increase the fan speed to increase the 
capacity.
Indoor fan stops occasionally during heating 
operation.
• To avoid unintended cooling effect.
Indoor fan stops occasionally during automatic 
fan speed setting.
• This is to help remove the surrounding odour.
Airfl ow continues even after operation has 
stopped.
• To extract the remaining heat from the indoor unit 
(maximum 30 seconds).
The room has a peculiar odour. • This may be due to damp smell emitted by the wall, 
carpet, furniture or clothing.
Cracking sound during operation. • Changes in temperature caused the unit to expand and 
contract.
Water fl owing sound during operation. • Refrigerant fl ow inside the unit.
Mist emerges from indoor unit. • During cooling operation, the discharged cold air may 
condense to water vapour.
Outdoor unit emits water or steam. • During cooling operation, condensation occurs on 
cold pipes and the condensed water may drip from the 
outdoor unit.
Discoloration of some plastic parts. • Discoloration is subjected to the types of materials 
used in plastic parts. It is accelerated when exposed to 
heat, sun light, UV light or environmental factors.
Check the following before calling for servicing.
Symptom Check
Operation in HEAT/COOL mode is not working
effi ciently.
• Set the temperature correctly.
• Close all doors and windows.
• Clean or replace the fi lters.
• Clear any obstruction at the air inlet and air outlet 
vents.
Noisy during operation. • Check if the unit has been installed at an incline.
• Close the front panel properly.
Remote control does not work.
(Display is dim or transmission signal is weak.)
• Insert the batteries correctly.
• Replace weak batteries.
The unit does not work. • Check if the circuit breaker is tripped.
• Check if timers have been set.
The unit does not receive the signal from the 
remote control.
• Make sure the receiver is not obstructed.
• Certain fl uorescent lights may interfere with the signal 
transmitter. Consult an authorised dealer.
