Frequently Asked Questions (19)

What temperature range can I set for cooling operation?

In Cooling Operation Mode, the temperature can be set within a range of 18°C to 30°C in 1°C increments. The cooling capacity indicated in the specifications is based on the fan speed being set to high, and capacity will be lower at low or medium fan speed. High fan speed is recommended when you want to cool the room quickly. (Pages 14, 20)

What do the CH error codes mean on the remote controller display?

The CH error codes indicate specific system problems detected by the unit's self-diagnosis function. CH 01 means indoor room temperature thermistor error, CH 02 means indoor piping thermistor error, CH 03 means indoor main body/remote controller unit communication error, and CH 04 (Optional) means water level float switch error. When CH flashes on the wired remote controller display, you should contact your serviceman or dealer. (Page 20)

How often should I clean the air filter?

The air filters should be checked and cleaned once every two weeks or more often if necessary. A dirty or clogged filter reduces the efficiency of the air conditioner, can cause product malfunction or damage, and wastes approximately 6% of the electricity used to operate the unit. Clean the filter with a vacuum or warm, soapy water, and dry it well in the shade before re-installing. (Pages 7, 21, 22)

How do I clean the air filter properly?

Clean the filter with a vacuum or warm, soapy water; if very dirty, wash with a solution of detergent in lukewarm water. Do not use hot water of 50°C or more, as it may deform the filter. After washing, dry the filter well in the shade, then re-install it in the unit. (Page 21)

Why does the air conditioner not start immediately when I restart it?

The air conditioner will not operate for about three minutes when restarted because of a built-in mechanism protector. Simply wait about three minutes and operation will begin normally. This is a normal protective feature of the unit. (Page 23)

How do I prepare the air conditioner when it won't be used for a long time?

Operate the air conditioner in Air Circulation mode for 2 to 3 hours to dry out the internal parts, then turn off the circuit breaker. The manual cautions that turning off the circuit breaker is important because dirt may collect and cause a fire if the unit is left unused without doing so. (Page 22)

What should I do if strange sounds, smells, or smoke come from the air conditioner?

If strange sounds, smell, or smoke come from the product, turn the breaker off or disconnect the power supply cable immediately. There is a risk of electric shock or fire in such situations. Contact an authorized service center for inspection and repair. (Page 5)

What is the maximum distance the wireless remote controller can operate from?

The wireless remote controller can receive signals at a distance of up to approximately 7 meters. You should aim at the signal receiver on the wired remote controller and ensure there are no obstructions between the remote controller and the signal receptor. Avoid placing the remote controller in direct sunlight or near heat sources. (Page 9)

Why does the air conditioner display 'Preheat' or 'Defrost' during heating operation?

The 'Preheat' indicator appears because the air conditioner uses a hot start control to prevent cold air from being discharged at the beginning of heating operation. The 'Defrost' indicator appears when the outdoor temperature is too low, triggering a defrosting operation to maintain performance. Both are normal operating states for the heat pump model. (Page 16)

What should I do if the remote controller display shows 'CH' flashing?

'CH' flashing on the remote controller display indicates a problem has occurred with the air conditioner. You should contact your dealer when this self-diagnosis code appears. Do not attempt to repair the unit yourself.

What is the correct way to use the Telephone Control function to turn the air conditioner on remotely?

Dial the number connected to the air conditioner and wait for it to ring 5 times. You will hear a 'Beep' sound (when the unit is off), then press '0', '0', '7', '8' in order. The air conditioner will start and you will hear 'Beep, Beep' to confirm. Note that if someone picks up the phone before 5 rings, the telephone control function will not work.

How do I activate the Child Lock function to prevent children from operating the air conditioner?

Press the Timer button and Minute Set button simultaneously for three seconds to activate the Child Lock function. The display will show 'CL' to indicate child lock mode is active. When any button is pressed in this mode, the remote controller will not respond and 'CL' will be displayed for about three seconds.

What is the temperature range that can be set during Cooling Operation mode?

During Cooling Operation mode, the temperature can be set within a range of 18°C to 30°C in 1°C increments. You should set the temperature lower than the current room temperature for effective cooling. Fan speed can also be selected in three steps: high, medium, or low.

How should I prepare the air conditioner when it will not be used for a long time?

Before leaving the unit unused for an extended period, operate the air conditioner in Air Circulation mode for 2 to 3 hours to dry out the internal parts. Then turn off the circuit breaker, as dirt may collect and cause a fire if the breaker is left on. When ready to use again, check that the air inlet and outlet of the indoor and outdoor units are not blocked.

What are the safety precautions when cleaning or removing the air filter?

Before performing any maintenance, turn off the main power to the system and turn off the circuit breaker. When removing the air filter, do not touch the metal parts of the indoor unit as this may cause injury. Do not clean the air conditioner with water as water may enter the unit, degrade insulation, and cause electric shock.

What does the 'Preheat' or 'Defrost' indicator mean during Heating Operation?

The 'Preheat' indicator appears because the air conditioner uses a hot start control to prevent cold air from being discharged during heating operation startup. The 'Defrost' indicator appears when the outdoor temperature is too low, causing the unit to switch to a defrosting operation cycle. Both are normal operational states during heating mode.

How do I clean the optional PLASMA filter, and are there any safety warnings I should know?

The PLASMA filter should be checked and cleaned once every month or more often if necessary. To clean, dip the filter in water mixed with mild detergent for 20–30 minutes, then dry in the shade for a full day, ensuring all humidity is completely removed. Do not touch the PLASMA filter within 10 seconds after drawing out the Air Cleaner Bracket, as it may cause electric shock, and be careful not to cut the electric discharge lines while washing.
