11. Trouble Shooting
Having trouble? Here is the solution. (Unit is operating normally.)
Airfl ow direction changes during operation or airfl ow direction cannot be
set.
■
During cooling mode, the vanes automatically move to the horizontal
(down) position after 1 hour when the down (horizontal) airfl ow direc-
tion is selected. This is to prevent water from forming and dripping
from the vanes.
■
During heating mode, the vanes automatically move to the horizontal
airfl ow direction when the airfl ow temperature is low or during defrost-
ing mode.
When the airfl ow direction is changed, the vanes always move up and
down past the set position before fi nally stopping at the position.
■
When the airfl ow direction is changed, the vanes move to the set po-
sition after detecting the base position.
A fl owing water sound or occasional hissing sound is heard.
■
These sounds can be heard when refrigerant is fl owing in the air con-
ditioner or when the refrigerant fl ow is changing.
A cracking or creaking sound is heard.
■
These sounds can be heard when parts rub against each due to ex-
pansion and contraction from temperature changes.

■
The indoor unit draws in air that contains gases produced from the
walls, carpeting, and furniture as well as odors trapped in clothing,

changer.
