Cleaning the Air Conditioner / 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 15 
minutes) before the actual set time to achieve the desired 
temperature on time.
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.
Indoor fan stops occasionally during automatic fan 
speed setting.
• 
This is to help remove the surrounding odour.
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.

• 
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.
After extended use, dust may cover the front panel, 
grilles and the wall surrounding the unit.
• 
The dust accumulation is due to the air purifi cation effect of 
negative ions from nanoe™-G. Remove the dust regularly 
with a clean dampened cloth.

nanoe™ TECHNOLOGY operation.
• 
It is normal when the nanoe™X generator is working. If
