Check the Units
- Check that the base, stand and other fittings of the outdoor unit are not decayed or corroded.
Press MODE and select the fan button. Press ON/OFF and start the operation. - Check that nothing blocks the air inlets and the outlets of the indoor unit and the outdoor unit.
- Check that the drain comes smoothly out of the drain hose during COOL or DRY operation.
- If no drain water is seen, water may be leaking from the indoor unit. Stop operation and consult the service shop if this is the case.
Before a long idle period
- Operate the FAN only for several hours on a nice day to dry out the inside.
- After operation stops, turn off the circuit breaker for the room air conditioner.
- Clean the air filters and set them again.
- Take out batteries from the remote controller.
- When a multi outdoor unit is connected, make sure the HEAT operation is not being used in other rooms before you use the FAN operation.
We Recommend Periodical Maintenance
In certain operating conditions, the inside of the air conditioner may get foul after several seasons of use, resulting in poor performance. It is recommended to have periodical maintenance by a specialist aside from regular cleaning by the user. Maintaining your equipment properly will help prevent untimely breakdowns, improve air quality, save money on your utility bills and extend the life of your HVAC system.
