Maintenance

CAUTION

• Ensure unit and power supply is switched off before cleaning.
• Avoid touching any metal parts directly and do not use wet hands.
• Cleaning shall be carried out by competent person and able to follow below instruction.

1. Air Filter
Please clean the filter once about every two weeks. By doing so, energy costs are saved. In case the air filter is full of dust, the air flow will decrease and the cooling capacity will be reduced.
Further, noise may occur. Be sure to clean the filter following the procedure below.

PROCEDURE

1. Open the front panel carefully and remove the filter.

2. Vacuum dust from the air filter using vacuum cleaner.
   If there is too much dust, wash the filter with a detergent and rinse it thoroughly. After that, dry it in the shade.

3. • Set the filter with “FRONT” mark facing front, and slot them into the original state with putting the filter on the guide. and insert the hook to the hole.
   • After attaching the filters, push the front panel at three arrow portions as shown in figure and close it. 

NOTE:
Air purifying filter to be inspected at least once a month or sooner depending on the usage of the air conditioner. If noticeable loading occurs on the unit, please clean it to avoid deterioration of its deodorizing function. For better performance, it is advisable to replace it every 1 year (subject to usage and application requirements).

CAUTION

• Do not wash with hot water at more than 40°C. The filter may shrink.
• Do not wash with pressing hard on the filter, bending too much or using a brush. The filter may break.
• When washing it, shake off moisture completely and dry it in the shade; do not expose it directly to the sun. The filter may shrink.
• Don’t operate the unit without filter. Fault may occur if you continue.

2. Cleaning of Front Panel

• Remove the front panel and wash with clean water.
  Wash it with a soft sponge.
  After using neutral detergent, wash thoroughly with clean water.

• When front panel is not removed, wipe it with a soft dry cloth. Wipe the remote controller thoroughly with a soft dry cloth.

• Wipe the water thoroughly.
  If water remains at indicators or signal receiver of indoor unit, it causes trouble.
  Method of removing the front panel.
  Be sure to hold the front panel with both hands to detach and attach it.

Removing the Front Panel

1. Push the end of the right-side arm outward to release the tab.
2. Move the left-side arm outward to release the left tab, and then pull the panel towards you.

Attaching the Front Panel

1. Insert the shaft of the left arm along the step on the unit into the hole.
2. Securely insert the shaft of the right arm along the step on the unit into the hole.
3. Make sure that the front panel is securely attached, and then close the front panel.

CAUTION

• Do not splash or direct water to the body of the unit when cleaning it as this may cause short circuit.
• Never use hot water (above 40°C), benzine, gasoline, acid, thinner or a brush, because they will damage the plastic surface and the coating.

3. Maintenance at Beginning of Long Off Period

• Run the unit by setting the operation mode to (FAN) and the fan speed to Super High for about half a day on a fine day, and dry the whole of the unit.
• Switch off the power plug or turn off the circuit breaker.

FrostWash Operation

FrostWash Operation does not start| Is the total operation time of the air conditioner beyond default setting when the air-conditioner is operated for about 30 minutes and stopped?
---|---
The FrostWash be started that must to meet with the follow conditions.| | indoor FrostWash auto operation.
---|---
Accumulation time| Accumulated operating hours of the air
conditioner have exceeded about 42 hours
The room temperature| about 10-32°C
The humidity in the room| about 30-70%
The outside temperature| about 1-43°C
Does not change to non -automatic “FrostWash”?
Does it happen after “sleep” and “time off’?
→ Automatic “FrostWash” interval becomes longer. Please operate manual
“FrostWash” with remote controller.
Within 60 minutes after the end of “FrostWash”, “FrostWash” is not operated for product protection.
Noise occurred during FrostWash operation| It is the sound that the internal machine is inflated and contracted by the temperature change and the fin of the heat exchanger is frozen and thawed.
(Clean Function Lamp) blinks| Repeat for 1 second on and 1 second off for 10 seconds
Because “FrostWash” can not work when operating the “FrostWash” with remote controller.
•The air conditioner is operating
•Outside air temperature, room temperature and room humidity are not suitable for “FrostWash”
It has not been over 60 minutes since the end of “FrostWash”
Repeat for 4 seconds on and 1 second off for 15 seconds Because FrostWash has not been done for a long time.
→ Operate the remote controller to operate “FrostWash”.

The following phenomena do not indicate unit failure.

Hissing or fizzy sounds| Refrigerant flow noise in the pipe or valve sound generated when flow rate is adjusted.
---|---
Squeaking noise| Noise generated when the unit expands or contracts due to temperature changes.
Rustling noise| Noise generated with the indoor unit fan’s rpm changing such as operation start times.
Clicking noise| Noise of the motorized valve when the unit is switched on.
Perking noise| Noise of the ventilation fan sucking in air present in the drain hose and blowing out dehumidifying water that had accumulated in the condensed water collector. For details, consult your sales agent.
Changing operation noise| Operation noise changes due to power variations according to room temperature changes.
Mist emission| Mist is generated as the air within the room is suddenly cooled by conditioned air.
Steam emitted from the outdoor unit| Water generated during defrosting operation evaporates and steam is emitted.
Odors| Caused as the smells and particles of smoke, food, cosmetics, etc. present in room air become attached the unit and blown off into the room again.
Does not reach the temperature setting| Actual room temperature may deviate slightly from the remote controller’s temperature setting depending on the number of people in the room, indoor or outdoor conditions.

• If the unit still fails to operate normally after performing the above inspections, turn the circuit breaker off and contact your sales agent immediately.

Contact your sales agent immediately if the following phenomena should occur

• The circuit breaker switches off or the fuse blows frequently.
• The switch operation is not stable.
• Foreign matter or water accidentally enters the unit interior.
• The power cord gets excessively hot or its insulation is torn or stripped.
• TIMER lamp on the indoor unit display blinks.
  As the nature of the failure can be identified by the blinking cycle, check the blinking cycle before turning off the circuit breaker.

Notes

• In quiet operation or stopping the running, the following phenomena may occasionally occur, but they are not abnormal for the operation.
  (1) Slight flowing noise of refrigerant in the refrigerating cycle.
  (2) Slight rubbing noise from the fan casing which is cooled and then gradually warmed as operation stops.

• The odor will possibly be emitted from the room air conditioner because the various odor, emitted by smoke, foodstuffs, cosmetics and so on, sticks to it. So please clean the air filter and the evaporator regularly to reduce the odor.

• Please contact your sales agent immediately if the air conditioner still fails to operate normally after the above inspections. Inform your agent of the model of your unit, production number, date of installation. Please also inform him regarding the fault.

Please note:
On switching on the equipment, particularly when the room light is dimmed, a slight brightness fluctuation may occur. This is of no consequence.
The conditions of the local Power Supply Companies are to be observed.
