BEFORE CONSULTING AN EXPERT
The following situations do not indicate a defect:
•
The air conditioner does not restart immediately.
After it has been switched off, the air conditioner can only be restarted after
approximately 3 minutes in order to protect the compressor.
•
Slow air flow when the heating function is activated.
The air conditioner requires a preparation period before blowing out warm
air.
•
The heating function does not work for 2 to 10 minutes while the control
light is lit.
The defrost function has activated – a low exterior temperature and high
level of humidity causes ice to form on the exterior unit.
•
The interior unit makes a creaking sound.
This sound is caused by shrinkage or expansion of the interior unit as a
consequence of temperature fluctuations.
•
The ventilator stops during dehumidification.
Condensation on the heat exchanger re-evaporates, and this increases the
relative humidity level. To prevent this, the ventilator of the interior unit
stops when the room temperature has dropped sufficiently.
•
Sound of flowing water.
This sound is caused by the coolant flowing through the pipes.
•
The direction of the air flow changes.
During cooling/dehumidification the air conditioner automatically changes
the direction of the air flow in order to prevent condensation from dripping
onto the floor.
During heating, the horizontal blade moves automatically to the horizontal
setting if the temperature of the expelled air is too low or the defrost
function has activated.
•
The interior unit makes a rattling sound.
This sound is caused by the ventilator or compressor starting.
•
The interior unit leaks water.
This is caused by condensation on the pipes and heat exchanger of the
exterior unit.
•
The signal from the remote control is not received.
The signal is obstructed by sunlight or bright light on the receiver section of
the interior unit.
•
Formation of ice on the vertical blades.
When the air conditioner is used in an environment with a high humidity
level for an extended period of time, condensation may form on the vertical
blades. This will turn into ice.
