• The unit is in defrost mode, and the melted frost is drained from the outdoor unit. Indoor fan stops occasionally during heating operation.

• To avoid unintended cooling effect. Cracking sound during operation. • Changes of temperature caused the expansion/ contraction of the unit. 2 or more human activity indicator turns on simultaneously.

• Judgement of heat source and movement area in progress. Check the following before calling for servicing. Symptom Check Operation in HEAT/COOL mode is not working effi ciently.

• Set the temperature correctly.

• Close all doors and windows.
