The manufacturer is not responsible for any accidents or injury caused by an incorrect installation.
When installing the built-in type air conditioner, keep all electric cables such as the power cable and the connection cord in pipes,
ducts, or cable channels to protect them from the danger of impact or any other incidents.
1-2 Power supply and circuit breaker

If the power cord of the air conditioner is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or a qualified person in order to avoid
a hazard.
The air conditioner must be plugged into an independent circuit if applicable or connect the power cable to the auxiliary circuit
breaker.

11. Troubleshooting
11-1 Items to be checked first
1.
The input voltage should be rating voltage 10% range.

The air conditioner may not operate properly if the voltage is out of this range.
2.
Is the link cable linking the indoor unit and the outdoor unit linked properly?
The indoor unit and the outdoor unit shall be linked by 5 cables.
Check the terminals if the indoor unit and outdoor unit are properly linked by the same number of cables.
Otherwise the air conditioner may not operate properly.
3.
When a problem occurs due to the contents illustrated in the table below it is a symptom not related to the malfunction of the
air conditioner.

Operation of air conditioner
Explanation
The OPERATION indication LED(BLUE) blinks when a power

plug of the indoor unit is plugged in for the first time.
It indicates power is on. The LED stops blinking if the operation

ON/OFF button on the remote control unit is pushed.
In a COOL operation mode, the compressor does not

operate at a room temperature higher than the setting
temperature that the INDOOR FAN should operate.
[In case of heat pump model]
In a HEAT operation mode, the compressor does not
operate at a room temperature lower than the setting
temperature that indoor fan should operate.
In happens after a delay of 3 minutes when the compressor is

reoperated. The same phenomenon occurs when a power is on.
As a phenomenon that the compressor is reoperated after a
delay of 3 minutes, the indoor fan is adjusted automatically with
reference to a temperature of the air blew.
Fan speed setting is not allowed in DRY(
The speed of the indoor fan is set to LL in DRY mode.

Fan speed is selected automatically in AUTO mode.
Compressor stops operation intermittently in DRY(

mode.
Timer LED(ORANGE) of the indoor unit lights up and the

air conditioner does not operate.
Timer is being activated and the unit is in ready mode.

The unit operates normally if the timer operation is cancelled.
The compressor stops intermittently in a COOL mode or

DRY mode, and fan speed of the indoor unit decreases.
The compressor stops intermittently or the fan speed of the

indoor unit decreases to prevent inside/outside air frozen
depending on the inside/outside air temperature.

Compressor of the outdoor unit is operating although it is
turned off in a HEAT mode.
When the unit is turned off while de-ice is activated, the

compressor continues operation for up to 9 minutes(maximum)
until the deice is completed.

The compressor and indoor fan stop intermittently in HEAT
mode.
The compressor and indoor fan stop intermittently if room

temperature exceeds a setting temperature in order to protect
the compressor from overheated air in a HEAT mode.

Indoor fan and outdoor fan stop operation intermittently
in a HEAT mode.
The compressor operates in a reverse cycle to remove

exterior ice in a HEAT mode, and indoor fan and outdoor
fan do not operate intermittently for within 20% of the total

13-4 Q & A for Non-trouble

Classification
Class
Description
The cooling is weak.
When it is hot outside, its cooling capacity decreases due to the increase of the ambient temperature. When
the dust filter gets blocked or warm outside air gets in, the cooling capacity will decrease. So, make sure to
clean the dust filter frequently, prevent heat loss by closing the doors and insulate the cooling area by using
curtains, blinds, shades or window tinting.
The cooling is good generally. But, it gets weak when it is considerably hot.
It occurs when the outdoor unit is exposed to direct sun light and heat-up air is not ventilated well.So, set
up a sunblind over the outdoor unit and keep stuff away from the unit to increase the ventilation. When the
cooling capacity decreases during a heat wave, clean the heat exchanger of the outdoor unit or spray some
cold water to the heat exchanger to increase the cooling capability.
The cooling is weak. Does it need refrigerant charging?
It is not correct charging refrigerant regularly. Except that you have moved in several times or the
connection pipes are broken, the refrigerant does not run low. So, when refrigerant is additionally charged,
it could be costly and cause a product's failure. When the refrigerant leaks, all of it will escape in a short time
resulting in cooling failure and no water coming out of the drain hose. So, if water comes out from the drain
hose, it indicates the normal operation of the product and it does not need refrigerant charging.
It fails to do cooling.
When the air conditioner is set to Ventilation or the desired temperature is set higher than the
current temperature, it fails to do cooling. In this case, select Cooling or set the desired temperature lower.
It floods the floor.
Place the drain hose properly. When it is not placed properly, the drain water would flow back flooding the
floor. So, straighten out the drain hose for the water to be drained well.
Water drips at the drain connection (service valve) of the outdoor unit.
When a glass bottle is taken out of the refrigerator, moisture gets condensed on its surface due to the
temperature differences. The same principle applies to the air conditioner. When cold refrigerant goes
through the copper tube, moisture gets condensed on the surface of the tube and the connection areas.
To prevent the water condensation, the pipes are insulated. But, the connection areas of the outdoor unit are
not insulated for the purpose of maintenance or repair, and water gets condensed due to the temperature
differences and drips down. Generally, it evaporates right away. But, when it drips much during muggy days,
put a water pan on the floor.
It leaks even though a drain pump is used.
It occurs when the drain pump is plugged out or it is out of order. Check the power of the drain pump and
the position of the drain hose, and when the pump is faulty, contact the drain pump manufacturer. Samsung
Electronics do not manufacture drain pumps. So, we are not able to correct the drain pump problems.
Whenever the air conditioner is turned on, it irritates my eyes and gives me a headache.
There are no components in the air conditioner irritating the eyes and sending out chemical smells.
But, when the air conditioner is turned on, other smell sources are sucked into the air conditioner and
get out of it. So, find and root out the smell sources. Generally, it occurs at a interior renovated place, a
pharmacy, a gasoline handling place, a tire shop, a second-hand book shop or an electronic component
handling place; when its chemical or musty smells are sucked in and sent out, it can be misled that the air
conditioner generates them. So, find and root out the problem or refresh the room frequently.

Whenever the air conditioner is turned on, it stinks.
There are no components in the air conditioner sending out chemical smells. But, when the air conditioner
is turned on, other smell sources are sucked into the air conditioner and get out of it. So, find and root out
the smell sources. Generally, when the drain hose is taken out to the washing room or there are sources
of smells such as a diaper bin, a shoe shelf or a socks bin, bad smells generate. Also, it occurs where glass
cleaners or air fresheners are used; when they are sucked in interacting with dusts and moistures inside, bad
smells generate. These kinds of organic materials noxious to human bodies. So, we recommend against the
use of them.
Whenever the air conditioner is turned on, it smells sour.
When the room is papered recently, its paste smells would be sucked inside. Also, when the air conditioner
is installed in the study room of young boys loving sweat-generating activities such as the basketball,
excessive sweats evaporate and get sucked into the air conditioner resulting in bad smells. So, find and root
out the problem or refresh the room frequently.
Whenever the air conditioner is turned on, it smells musty.
It is due to the improper keeping of the product after its use. When keeping the product, dry up the inside
with the operation of Ventilation to prevent must. When the product is kept without drying up the inside
with Ventilation, mold would grow inside resulting in must. So, open the windows and switch on the
Ventilation function to get rid of the saturated smell inside.
Whenever the air conditioner is turned on, it sends out bad smells such as stale smells.
It occurs generally when there are pet animals in the house. Their smells stay at the same place.
But, when the air conditioner is turned on, the air gets circulated resulting in the circulation of the smells.
So, find and root out the problem or refresh the room frequently.
It sends out bad smells.
When the air filter is filthy, it could send out bad smells. So, clean the filter and ventilate the room with the
windows open while operating the Ventilation function.
It won't start.
There is a power failure or it is plugged out. Also, check if the power distribution panel is switched off.
It goes off during operation.
When the hot air does not escape properly, it goes off during operation. It occurs when it does not ventilate
properly because the outdoor unit is covered, the back of the outdoor unit is blocked by a cardboard or a
plywood panel, and the front of the outdoor unit is blocked by the closed window or other obstacles.
Clear the above obstacles from the outdoor unit.
It generally works properly. But, when it's considerably hot, it goes off during operation.
It occurs when the outdoor unit is exposed to direct sunlight and the hot air does not escape properly.
Set up a sun blind over the outdoor unit and clear the neighboring obstacles from the outdoor unit to
provide good ventilation. When it goes off frequently during a heat wave, it would prevent the turn-off and
increase the cooling capacity cleaning the outdoor unit or spraying some water to the heat exchanger.
The remote controller won't operate.
When the batteries run out or the transmitter or receiver of the remote controller is blocked by obstacles,
change the batteries or keep the obstacles away from the controlling area. Also, the remote controller may
not work under intensive light from a 3-wave length lamp or a neon sign due to the EMI. In this case, take
the remote controller closer to the receiver.

Q
Who installs the air conditioner? (Relocation/Re-installation)
When relocating or re-installing the air conditioner, make sure to contact Samsung Electronics Service
Center or Authorized Service Agent and have them to do the job. (If not, it could cause personal injury or
product damage.)
The cost for the relocation/re-installation of the air conditioner is subject to the customer's expense.
There is a cost table. But, our service engineer needs to visit to total up the cost correctly.
When you move in, make sure to contact Samsung Electronics Service Center or Authorized Service Agent in
advance to streamline the process.
Is it possible to install the outdoor unit outside?
It is possible to install it at a designated place in the apartment or on the rooftop nearby.

But, it's illegal hanging an angle iron case with the outdoor unit in it outside the apartment.
Also, it is illegal obstructing passers-by with the outdoor unit installed outside.
What can be done to install the outdoor unit facing the road because it is a commercial building?
The following is an excerpt from Building Code going into effect from JUNE 1st 2005. "The exhaust pipe of a
cooling or ventilation facility installed in a building adjacent to the streets of commercial or residential areas
shall be installed higher than 2 m to prevent the exhaust air from blowing directly to passers-by and the
current facilities shall be corrected by MAY 31st 2005." So, please install it higher than 2 m or not to blow the
hot exhausting air directly to passers-by.
What about installing a windscreen during installation not to blow hot air directly to passers-by?
When the hot air from the front of the outdoor unit is blocked, the product's performance will be
affected and it will fail to operate properly. So, keep it at least 300mm away from its surrounding walls and
give it good ventilation.
