Manual Operations And Maintenance

Operation mode selection

While two or more indoor units are simultaneously operating, make sure the modes do not conflict with each other. The heat mode claims precedence over all other modes. If the unit intially started to operate in HEAT mode, the other units can operate in HEAT mode only. For example: If the unit intially started operates under COOL (or FAN) mode, the other units can operate under any mode except HEAT. If one of the unit selects HEAT mode, the other operating units will stop operation and diplay "--" (for units with display window only) or the auto and operation indication light will flash rapidly, the defrost indication light will turn off, and the timer indication light will remain on (for units without a display window). Alternatively, the defrost and alarm indication light (if applicable) wil light up, or the operation indication light will flash rapidly, and the timer indication light will turn off (for the floor and standing type).

Maintenance

If you plan to leave the unit idle for a long time, perform the following tasks:

  1. Clean the indoor unit and air filter.
  2. Select FAN ONLY mode and let the indoor fan run for a time to dry the inside of the unit.
  3. Disconnect the power supply and remove the battery from the remote control.
  4. Check components of the outdoor unit periodically. Contact a local dealer or a customer service centre if the unit requires servicing.

NOTE: Before you clean the air conditioner, be sure to switch off the unit and disconnect the power supply plug.

Optimal operation

To achieve optimal performance, please note the following:

Suggestion:

For units that feature an electric heater, when the outside ambient temperature is below 0°C (32°F), it is strongly recommended that you to keep the machine plugged in so as to guarantee smooth operation.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FIX THESE YOURSELF! CONTACT AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE PROVIDER IMMEDIATELY!

Common Issues

The following problems are not a malfunction and in most situations will not require repairs.

ProblemPossible Causes
Unit does not turn on when pressing ON/OFF buttonThe unit has a 3-minute protection feature that prevents the unit from overloading. The unit cannot be turned back on within three minutes of being turned off.
Cooling and Heating Models: If the Operation light and PRE-DEF (Pre-heating/Defrost) indicators are lit up, the outdoor temperature is too cold and the unit's anti-cold wind function is activated in order to defrost the unit. In Cooling-only Models: If the "Fan Only" indicator is lit up, the outdoor temperature is too cold and the unit's anti-freeze protection is activated in order to defrost the unit.The unit changes its setting to prevent frost from forming on the unit. Once the temperature increases, the unit will start operating again.
The unit changes from COOL mode to FAN modeThe set temperature has been reached, at which point the unit turns off the compressor. The unit will resume operating when the temperature fluctuates again.
The indoor unit emits white mistIn humid regions, a large temperature difference between the room's air and the conditioned air can cause white mist.
Both the indoor and outdoor units emit white mistWhen the unit restarts in HEAT mode after defrosting, white mist may be emitted due to moisture generated from the defrosting process.
The indoor unit makes noisesA squeaking sound is heard when the system is OFF or in COOL mode. The noise is also heard when the drain pump (optional) is in operation. A squeaking sound may occur after running the unit in HEAT mode due to expansion and contraction of the unit's plastic parts.
Both the indoor unit and outdoor unit make noisesA low hissing sound may occur during operation. This is normal and is caused by refrigerant gas flowing through both the indoor and outdoor units. A low hissing sound may be heard when the system starts, has just stopped running or is defrosting. This noise is normal and is caused by the refrigerant gas stopping or changing direction.
The outdoor unit makes noisesThe unit will make different sounds based on its current operating mode.
Dust is emitted from either the indoor or outdoor unitThe unit may accumulate dust during extended periods of non-use, which will be emitted when the unit is turned on. This can be mitigated by covering the unit during long periods of inactivity.
The unit emits a bad odorThe unit may absorb odors from the environment (such as furniture, cooking, cigarettes, etc.) which will be emitted during operations. The unit's filters have become moldy and should be cleaned.
The fan of the outdoor unit does not operateDuring operation, the fan speed is controlled to optimize product operation.

Proper installation locations meet the following standards:

DO NOT install unit in the following locations:

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR EXTREME WEATHER

If the unit is exposed to heavy wind: Install unit so that air outlet fan is at a 90° angle to the direction of the wind. If needed, build a barrier in front of the unit to protect it from extremely heavy winds. See Figures below.

Diagram Description: Two diagrams illustrate wind protection. One shows an outdoor unit with the fan facing perpendicular to strong wind, with a suggested wind baffle. The other shows a unit protected by a shelter from rain or snow.

If the unit is frequently exposed to heavy rain or snow: Build a shelter above the unit to protect it from the rain or snow. Be careful not to obstruct air flow around the unit.

If the unit is frequently exposed to salty air (seaside): Use outdoor unit that is specially designed to resist corrosion.

Outdoor Unit Installation

Step 2: Install drain joint (Heat pump unit only)

Before bolting the outdoor unit in place, you must install the drain joint at the bottom of the unit. Note: There are two different types of drain joints depending on the type of outdoor unit.

If the drain joint comes with a rubber seal (see Fig. A):

  1. Fit the rubber seal on the end of the drain joint that will connect to the outdoor unit.
  2. Insert the drain joint into the hole in the base pan of the unit.
  3. Rotate the drain joint 90° until it clicks in place facing the front of the unit.
  4. Connect a drain hose extension (not included) to the drain joint to redirect water from the unit during heating mode.

If the drain joint doesn't come with a rubber seal (see Fig. B):

  1. Insert the drain joint into the hole in the base pan of the unit. The drain joint will click in place.
  2. Connect a drain hose extension (not included) to the drain joint to redirect water from the unit during heating mode.

Refrigerant Piping Connection

NOTE: For quick-connect models, please refer to the internal machine manual for the installation method of the connecting pipe. The external machine manual does not repeat the instructions.

When connecting refrigerant piping, do not let substances or gases other than the specified refrigerant enter the unit. The presence of other gases or substances will lower the unit's capacity, and can cause abnormally high pressure in the refrigeration cycle. This can cause explosion and injury.

Connection Instructions – Refrigerant Piping

⚠️ CAUTION

Step 1: Cut pipes

When preparing refrigerant pipes, take extra care to cut and flare them properly. This will ensure efficient operation and minimize the need for future maintenance.

  1. Measure the distance between the indoor and outdoor units.
  2. Using a pipe cutter, cut the pipe a little longer than the measured distance.
  3. Make sure that the pipe is cut at a perfect 90° angle.

Diagram Description: Three pipe ends are shown: one perfectly 90°, one oblique, and one rough. The 90° cut is marked with a checkmark (✔️), while the others are marked with crosses (❌).

DO NOT DEFORM PIPE WHILE CUTTING Be extra careful not to damage, dent, or deform the pipe while cutting. This will drastically reduce the heating efficiency of the unit.

Step 2: Remove burrs.

Burrs can affect the air-tight seal of refrigerant piping connection. They must be completely removed.

  1. Hold the pipe at a downward angle to prevent burrs from falling into the pipe.
  2. Using a reamer or deburring tool, remove all burrs from the cut section of the pipe.

Diagram Description: A diagram shows a pipe end being reamed. A "Point down" arrow indicates the direction to hold the pipe. A reamer tool is shown.

Step 3: Flare pipe ends

Proper flaring is essential to achieve an airtight seal.

  1. After removing burrs from cut pipe, seal the ends with PVC tape to prevent foreign materials from entering the pipe.
  2. Sheath the pipe with insulating material.
  3. Place flare nuts on both ends of pipe. Make sure they are facing in the right direction, because you can't put them on or change their direction after flaring.
