Operation does not start soon�
When the unit is turned on again soon after
being turned off�
When the mode was reselected�
This is to protect the air conditioner.
You should wait for about 3minutes.
For COOLING ONLY models (outdoor unit: RK
models) using facility settings
For the purposes of protecting the compressor, it can take up
to 3 hours for operation to begin after the unit is turned on.
The aps do not start swinging
immediately
The air conditioner is adjusting the position of the aps.
The aps will start moving soon.
HEAT operation stops suddenly and
a owing sound is heard.
The outdoor unit is defrosting. HEAT operation starts
after the frost on the outdoor unit has been removed.
This can take about 4 to 12 minutes.
The air conditioner stops generating
airow during HEAT operation.
Once the set temperature is reached, the airow rate is
reduced and operation stopped in order to avoid
generating a cool airow. Operation will resume
automatically when the indoor temperature falls.
Operating sound is loud�
When frost forms on the heat exchanger of the outdoor unit, the operating sound level
increases slightly.
The outdoor unit emits water or steam�
In HEAT operation
The frost on the outdoor unit melts into water or steam when the air conditioner is in
defrosting operation.
In COOL or DRY operation
Moisture in the air condenses into water on the cool surface of the outdoor unit
piping and drips.
Different sounds are heard�
A sound like owing water
This sound is generated because the refrigerant in
the air conditioner is owing.
This is a pumping sound of the water in the air
conditioner and can be heard when the water is
pumped out from the air conditioner during COOL
or DRY operation.
Blowing sound
This sound is generated when the ow of the
refrigerant in the air conditioner is switched over.
Ticking sound
This sound is generated when the cabinet and
frame of the air conditioner slightly expand or
shrink as a result of temperature changes.
Whistling sound
This sound is generated when refrigerant ows
during defrosting operation.
Clicking sound during operation or idle time
This sound is generated when the refrigerant
control valves or the electrical parts operate.
Clopping sound
This sound is heard from the inside of the air
conditioner when the exhaust fan is activated while
the room doors are closed. Open the window or
turn off the exhaust fan.
