Symptom
• This is a preliminary step in preparation for the
operation when the ON timer has been set.
• When ON Timer is set, the unit may start earlier
(up to 15 minutes) before the actual set time in
order to achieve the desired temperature on time.
• The timer setting repeats daily once set.
• The delay is a protection to the unit's
compressor.
• This helps to remove the surrounding odour.
• This may be due to damp smell emitted by the
wall, carpet, furniture or clothing.
• Changes of temperature caused the expansion/
contraction of the unit.
• Refrigerant flow inside the unit.
• Condensation effect due to cooling process.
• Condensation or evaporation occurs on pipes.
• The compressor and fan rotate at higher speed to
boost cooling performance during initial operation.
• Discoloration is subject to material types used in
plastic parts, accelerated when exposed to heat,
sun light, UV light or environmental factor.
• Set the temperature correctly.
• Close all doors and windows.
• Clean or replace the filters.
• Clear any obstruction at the air inlet and air outlet
vents.
• Check if the unit has been installed at an incline.
• Close the front panel properly.
• Insert the batteries correctly.
• Replace weak batteries.
• Check if the circuit breaker is tripped.
• Check if timers have been set.
• Make sure the receiver is not obstructed.
• Certain fluorescent lights may interfere with
signal transmitter. Please consult authorised
