OPERATION TIPS
You may notice the following during normal operation:
1. Protection of the air conditioner
Compressor 3-minute Protection
The compressor cannot restart for 3 minutes after it stops.
Anti-Cold Air (for cooling and heating models only)
The unit is designed not to blow cold air on HEAT mode, when the indoor heat exchanger is in
one of the following three situations and the set temperature has not been reached:
a) When heating has just started.
b) Defrosting.
c) Low temperature heating.
The indoor or outdoor fan stops running when defrosting (for cooling and heating models only).
INTELLIGENT DEFROST Function (for cooling and heating models only)
Frost may be generated on the outdoor unit during heat cycle when outdoor temperature is low
and humidity is high, resulting in lower heating efficiency of the air conditioner.
During this condition the heat pump will stop heating operation and start defrosting automatically.
With the INTELLIGENT DEFROST Function, defrost time may vary from 4 to 10 minutes
depending on the outdoor temperature and the amount of frost built up on the outdoor unit.
2. A white mist coming out from the indoor unit
A white mist may generate due to a large temperature difference between air inlet and air outlet
on COOLING mode in an indoor environment that has a high relative humidity.
A white mist may generate due to moisture generated from defrosting process when the air
conditioner restarts in HEATING mode operation after defrosting.
3. Low noise of the air conditioner
You may hear a low hissing sound when the compressor is running or has just stopped running.
It is the sound of the refrigerant flowing or coming to a stop.
You can also hear a low "squeak" sound when the compressor is running or has just stopped
running. This is caused by heat expansion and cold contraction of the plastic parts in the unit
when the temperature is changing.
A noise may be heard due to louver restoring to its original position when power is turned on.
4. Dust is blown out from the indoor unit.
This is a normal condition when the air conditioner has not been used for a long time or during first
use of the unit.
5. A peculiar smell comes out from the indoor unit.
This is caused by the indoor unit giving off smells permeated from building material, from furniture
or smoke.
6. The air conditioner turns to FAN ONLY mode from COOLING or HEATING (for cooling and
heating models only) mode.
When indoor temperature reaches the temperature setting on air conditioner, the compressor will
stop automatically, and the air conditioner turns to FAN ONLY mode. The compressor will start again
when the indoor temperature rises on COOLING mode or falls on HEATING mode (for cooling and
heating models only) to the set point.
7. The air conditioner runs function after turning off the unit.ANTI-MILDEW
When turning off the unit under COOL (AUTO COOL, FORCED COOL) and DRY mode, the air
conditioner will run function for 7-10 minutes, then stop the operation and turn ANTI-MILDEW
off the unit automatically.

8. Dripping water may generate on the surface of the indoor unit when cooling in a high
relatively humidity (relative humidity higher than 80%). Adjust the horizontal louver to
the maximum air outlet position and select HIGH fan speed.
9. Heating mode (for cooling and heating models only)
The air conditioner draws in heat from the outdoor unit and releases it via the indoor unit
during heating operation. When the outdoor temperature falls, heat drawn in by the air
conditioner decreases accordingly. At the same time, heat loading of the air conditioner
increases due to larger difference between indoor and outdoor temperature. It’s crucial to
have the correctly sized air conditioner installed for the room. If a comfortable temperature
can't be achieved by the air conditioner, we suggest you use a supplementary heating device.
10. AUTO-RESTART Function
Power failure during operation will stop the unit completely.
