9. General notes
Problem Cause
After pressing the start key the device is not started
by the microprocessor for 3 minutes.
This is not a fault, it is for the protection of the
compressor. Please have a little patience.
Crackling noises can be heard. This is not a fault.
These tension noises are caused by the contraction
and expansion of the front panel in response to
temperature differences.
There is an odd smell in the room. This is not a fault.
The air conditioner also circulates the transpiration
from the walls, carpets, smoke, furniture and clothing
in the air.
You can hear moving water. This is not a fault. The coolant in the air conditioner
may have expanded.
The air conditioner switches off during heat mode.
Heat mode is not possible if the outdoor temperature
is below approx. 0°C.
The outdoor device freezes if the outdoor tempera-
ture is low (below approx. +0°C).
Care precautions
If the air conditioner is not going to be used for some
period of time:
1. Let the fans run for 3 - 4 hours to allow the device
to completely dry out. Set the highest possible
temperature level while the fans are running.
2. Switch off the device and pull the power plug.
Important:
Always pull out the power plug if the device is not
going to be used for some time. Collections of dust
pose a fire hazard.
3. Take the batteries out of the remote control.
10. Troubleshooting
Device does not start. Check the following:
1. Is voltage present at the plug socket outlet?
2. Check the plug fuse!

The device does not provide satisfactory cooling!
Check the following:
1. Has an appropriate temperature been set?
2. Is the air filter soiled? Clean and fit back in place.
3. Are the inlets and outlets on the outdoor device
blocked?
4. Has the sleep mode been set during the day?
5. Are the connections between the indoor and
