Please check the following things about your air conditioner before making a service call.
Unit fails to start
Is the power source switch
cut in? Is city supply power in nor- mal? Isn't the signal receiving sec-
tion exposed to the direct sun-
light or strong illumination?
Isn't the earth leakage
breaker in action?
It is dangerous. Turn off the power supply
switch immediately and contact the sales
dealer.
Cooling or heating is not sufficient
Is the themostat adjust as
required? Isn't the air filter dirty? Isn't any doors or window
left opened? Doesn't any obstacle exist
at the air inlet or outlet?
Isn't the swing louver hori-
zontal? (At HEATING mode)
If swing louver is horizontal,
the blow wind does not reach
floor.
The wind does not blow
during heating operation
Isn't it warming up?
Cooling is not sufficient
Isn't sun-shine invading di-
rectly? Isn't any unexpected heat- ing load generated? Isn't the room much crowd- ed?
Heat generated
by machines
When the air conditioner does not operate properly after you have checked the above
mentioned items or when the following phenomenon is observed, stop the operation of
the air conditioner and contact your sales dealer.
The fuse or breaker often shuts down.
Water drops off during cooling operation.
There is a irregularity in operation or abnormal sound which is audible.

The followings are not malfunction
Water flowing
sound is heard. When the air conditioner is started, when the compressor starts or
stops during operation or when the air conditioner is stopped, it
sometimes sounds "shuru shuru "or" gobo gobo". It is the flowing
sound of the refrigerant, and it is not a trouble.
Cracking sound is heard.
It smells.
This is caused by heat expansion or contraction of plastics.
Air which blows out from the indoor unit sometimes smells.
The smell results from residents of tobacco smoke or cosmetics stuck
inside of unit.
During operation,
white fog comes
out of indoor
unit.
It is switched into the FAN
mode during cooling.
The air condi-
tioner can not
be restarted
soon after it
stops.
Air does not blow or the fan
speed can not be changed
during dehumidifying.
Water or steam generates
from the outdoor unit during
heating.

operation
Wait for
three
minutes
When the air conditioner is used at restaurant etc. where dense edible
oil fume is always exists, white fog sometimes blows out of air outlet
during operation.
In this case consult sales dealer for cleaning the heat exchanger.
To prevent frost from being accumulated on the indoor unit heat ex-
changer, it is sometimes automatically switched to the FAN mode
but it will soon return to the cooling mode.
Even if the operation switch is turned on, cooling*
dehumidifying or heating is not operable for three
minutes after the air conditioner is stopped. Because
the protecting circuit is activated.
(During this time air conditioner operates in fan mode.)
When it is excessively cold during dehumidifying, the blower auto-
matically repeats reducing and lowering the fan speed.
This results when frost accumulated on the outdoor unit is removed
(during defrosting operation).

WARNING OPERATION
Heat pump type warming
With the heat pump type warming, the mechanism of heat pump that concentrate heat of
outdoor air with the help of refrigerant to warm the indoor space, is utilized.
Defrosting operation
when a room is warmed with a heat pump type air conditioner, frost accumulates on the
heat exchanger of outdoor unit along with the drop of indoor temperature. Since the accu-
mulated frost reduces the effect of warming, it is necessary to automatically switch the op-
eration to the defrosting mode. During the defrosting operation heating operation is inter-
rupted.
Atmospheric temperature and warming capacity
Warming capacity of heat pump type air conditioner decrease along with the drop of out-
door temperature.
When the warming capacity is not sufficient, it is recommended to use another heating im-
plement.
Period of warm-up
Since the heat pump type air conditioner employs a method to circu-
late warm winds to warm the entire space of a room, it takes time be-
fore the room temperature rises.
It is recommendable to start the operation a little earlier in a very
cold morning.
