Working principle and special functions for cooling

Principle:

Air conditioners absorb heat in the room and transmit it to the outdoor unit, so that indoor ambient temperatures are decreased. Their cooling capacity will increase or decrease according to outdoor ambient temperature.

Anti-freezing function

If the unit is running in COOL mode and in low ambient temperature, frost may form on the heat exchanger. When indoor heat exchanger temperature decreases below zero, the indoor unit microcomputer will stop the compressor running to protect the unit.

Working principle and special functions for heating

Principle:

* Air conditioners absorb heat from outdoors and transmit it to the indoor unit, increasing room temperature. Heating capacity will decrease in lower ambient temperatures.

Defrosting:

* When outdoor temperature is low but humidity is high, frost may form on the outdoor unit during extended operation, affecting heating efficiency. The air conditioner operation may stop for 8-10 minutes during auto defrosting function. * During auto defrosting, the fan motors of indoor unit and outdoor unit will stop. * During auto defrosting, the indoor indicator flashes and the outdoor unit may emit vapour. This is not a malfunction. * After defrosting has finished, the heating operation will recover automatically.

Anti-freezing function:

In "HEAT" mode, if in the following situations, the operation of indoor unit may be delayed until the heat exchanger has achieved a certain temperature.

(Within 3 minutes)

1. Heating starts. 2. After auto defrosting finished. 3. Heating under low temperature.

Troubleshooting

Warning

The air conditioner is not user serviceable. Incorrect repair may cause electric shock or fire, so please contact an Authorized Service Center for professional repair. Following checks prior to contact may save your time and costs.

Symptom	Troubleshooting
Air conditioner does not run if attempt to immediately restart after a stop.	To protect the air conditioner upon immediate restart after a stop, the microcomputer controller will delay the unit for 3 minutes before the air conditioner will run.
Air conditioner blows out bad smell when it is initially started.	The air conditioner itself has no bad smell. If a bad smell has been accumulated from the environment, clean the air filter.If smells persist, contact your Approved Service Centre to arrange cleaning.
You may hear “Water Flowing” noise	When the air conditioner is started, or the compressor is started or stopped during running or the air conditioner is stopped, sometimes you may hear fluid gurgling noises. This is not a fault - it is the sound of flowing refrigerant.
Sometimes a thin mist will flow out of the outlet when air conditioner is running under cooling mode.	This might occur when indoor temperature and humidity are high. This is because the indoor air is quickly cooled down. After a period of time, the mist will disappear with the decrease of indoor temperature and humidity.
You may hear a slight cracking sound when the air conditioner is started or stopped.	This is the sound of friction caused by expansion nd/or contractiona of panel or other parts due to the change of temperature.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Troubleshooting
The unit will not run	Has the power been shut down?Has the circuit breaker device tripped off?Have the wiring or connections been damaged?Please report to an authorised air conditioner contractor.Is the Timer correctly used?
Cooling(Heating) efficiency is not good.	Is Temp. setting suitable?Are inlet and outlet vents obstructed?Is there too much dust accumulated and obstructing the filter?Are the windows and doors closed?Is the fan speed set at low speed?Are there any other heat sources in the room?
