change the set temperature. Press the Temperature button to decrease
or increase the temperature.
• Check if the air filter is blocked by dirt. Clean the air filter every two
weeks.
• Check if the air conditioner has just been turned on. If so, wait 3
minutes. Cool air does not come out to protect the compressor of the
outdoor unit.
• Check if the air conditioner is installed in a place with a direct exposure
to sunlight. Hang curtains on windows to boost cooling efficiency.
• Check if the cover or any obstacle is not near the outdoor unit.
• Check if the refrigerant pipe is too long.
