Care and Cleaning
Cleaning the filters
- Clean the filters using a vacuum cleaner. If you do not have a vacuum cleaner, tap the filters against a solid object to knock off dirt and dust.
- If the filters are especially dirty, wash them in lukewarm water. Take care to rinse off any detergent thoroughly and allow the filters to dry completely before putting them back into the unit.
Caution:
- Do not dry the filters in direct sunlight or by using a heat source, such as an electric heater: this may warp them.
- Do not wash the filters in hot water (above 122 °F [50 °C]), as this may warp them.
- Make sure that the air filters are always installed. Operating the unit without air filters can cause malfunction.
Caution:
- Before you start cleaning, stop operation and turn OFF the power sup-ply.
- Indoor units are equipped with filters to remove the dust of sucked-in air. Clean the filters using the methods shown in the following sketches.
Filter removal
Caution:
- In removing the filter, precautions must be taken to protect your eyes from dust. Also, if you have to climb up on a stool to do the job, be careful not to fall.
- When the filter is removed, do not touch the metallic parts inside the indoor unit, otherwise injury may result.

Trouble Shooting
| Having trouble? | Here is the solution. (Unit is operating normally.) |
|---|---|
| Air conditioner does not heat or cool well. |
- Clean the filter. (Airflow is reduced when the filter is dirty or clogged.)
- Check the temperature adjustment and adjust the set temperature.
- Make sure that there is plenty of space around the outdoor unit. Is the indoor unit air intake or outlet blocked?
- Has a door or window been left open?
When heating operation starts, warm air does not blow from the indoor unit soon.|
- Warm air does not blow until the indoor unit has sufficiently warmed up.
During heating mode, the air conditioner stops before the set room temperature is reached.|
- When the outdoor temperature is low and the humidity is high, frost may form on the outdoor unit. If this occurs, the outdoor unit performs a defrosting operation. Normal operation should begin after approximately 10 minutes.
When the airflow direction is changed, the vanes always move up and down past the set position before finally stopping at the position.|
- When the airflow direction is changed, the vanes move to the set position after detecting the base position.
A flowing water sound or occasional hissing sound is heard.|
- These sounds can be heard when refrigerant is flowing in the air conditioner or when the refrigerant flow is changing.
A cracking or creaking sound is heard.|
- These sounds can be heard when parts rub against each due to expansion and contraction from temperature changes.
The room has an unpleasant odor.|
- The indoor unit draws in air that contains gases produced from the walls, carpeting, and furniture as well as odors trapped in clothing, and then blows this air back into the room.
A white mist or vapor is emitted from the indoor unit.|
- If the indoor temperature and the humidity are high, this condition may occur when operation starts.
- During defrosting mode, cool airflow may blow down and appear like a mist.
Water or vapor is emitted from the outdoor unit.|
- During cooling mode, water may form and drip from the cool pipes and joints.
- During heating mode, water may form and drip from the heat exchanger.
- During defrosting mode, water on the heat exchanger evaporates and water vapor may be emitted.
