pressed.
Power failure
Press the [ON/OFF] button after power restoration.
The power supply is turned OFF.
Turn the power supply ON.
The fuse in the power supply is gone.
Replace fuse.
The earth leakage breaker is gone.
Put in the earth leakage breaker.
Air flows out but it
does not cool enough
or heat enough.
The liquid crystal dis-
play shows that it is in
the state of operation.
Improper temperature adjustment
After checking the set temperature and inlet temperature
on the liquid crystal display, refer to [Room temperature
adjustment], and operate the adjustment button.
The filter is filled with dust and dirt.
Clean up the filter.
(Refer to [Caring for the machine].)
There are som obstacles at the air inlet and outlet of
the indoor and outdoor units.
Remove.
Windows and doors are open.
Close
Cool air or warm air
does not come out.
The liquid crystal dis-
play shows that it is in
operation.
The restart-preventing circuit is in operation for 3
minutes.
Wait for a while.
(To protect the compressor, a 3-minute restart-preventing
circuit is built into the indoor unit. Therefore, there are oc-
casions sometimes when the compressor does not start
running immediately. There are cases when it does not run
for as long as 3 minutes.)
Indoor unit operation was restarted during the heat-
ing and defrosting operation.
Wait for a while.
(Heating operation starts after ending defrosting opera-
tion.)
It runs briefly, but soon
stops.

The sound of the ex-
haust and rotation of
the motor can still be
heard after stop of run-
ning.
All lights are out ex-

When other indoor units are engaged in cooling op-
eration, the machine stops after running a drain-up
mechanism for 3 minutes when air-cooling operation
is stopped.
Wait for 3 minutes.
The sound of the ex-
haust and the rotation
of the motor can be
heard intermittently
after stop of running.

When other indoor units are engaged in cooling
operation, drained water is brought in. If the drain
water is collected, the drain-up mechanism initiates a
draining operation.
It soon stops. (If the noise occurs more than 2-3 times in
an hour, ask for repair service.)
Warm air comes out
intermittently when the
thermostat is OFF or
during fan operation.
The liquid crystal dis-
play shows that it is in
the state of operation.
When other indoor units are engaged in heating
operation, the control valves are opened and closed
from time to time to maintain the stability of the sys-
tem.
It soon stops. (If the room temperature rises uncomfortably
high in a small room, stop operation.)
•
If operation stops due to a power failure, the [restart-preventing circuit at power failure] operates and disables unit operation even after power restoration. In this case,
press the [ON/OFF] button again and start operation.
If malfunctions persist after you have checked the above, turn the power supply OFF and contact your dealer with information about the product name, the nature of the
malfunction, etc. If the display of “[CHECK]” and (4 digit) check code flashes, tell the dealer contents of the display (check code). Never attempt to repair by yourself.
The following symptoms are not air conditioner failures:
•
The air blown out from the air conditioner can sometimes give off odors. This is due to cigarette smoke contained in the air of the room, the smell of cosmetics, the
walls, furniture, etc., absorbed in the air conditioner.
• A hissing noise can be heard immediately after the air conditioner is started or stopped. This is the sound of the refrigeration flowing inside the air conditioner. This is
normal.
•
The air conditioner sometimes snaps or clicks at the beginning or end of cooling/heating operation. This is the sound of friction on the front panel and other sections
due to expansion and contraction caused by temperature change. This is normal.
•
The fan speed changes in spite of not changing the setting. Not to blow out cold air at the beginning of heating operation, the air conditioner automatically adjusts the
fan speed gradually from lower to the set speed. It also adjust its fan speed to protect the fan motor when return air temperature or fan speed excessively rises.
