Troubleshooting Tips! Save time and money!
Check the following points before requesting repairs or service.... If the malfunction persist, please contact your
dealer.

Case Explanation See page

The unit does not operate.
The room has a peculiar odor.
Does not cool or heat effectively.
• Has the fuse blown or has the circuit breaker
been tripped?
• Check that this is not a damp smell exuded by
the walls, carpet, furniture or cloth items in the 4
room.
• Is the air filter dirty? See air filter cleaning
instructions.
• The room may have been very hot when the
unit was first turned on. Allow time for it to cool 4, 5, 7
down.
• Are the indoor unit's air inlet or outlet vents
obstructed?

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or assembly availible from the manufacturer of its service agent.

CAUTION: Make sure that the screws of the terminal fixed tightly.

CAUTION: Prepare the wiring as follows:

1) Never fail to have an individual power specialized for the unit. As for the method of wiring, be guided by the
circuit diagram pasted on the side panel.
2) Provide a circuit breaker switch between power source and the unit.
3) The screw which fasten the wiring in the casing of electrical fittings are liable to come loose from vibrations to
which the unit is subjected during the course of transportation. Check them and make sure that they are all
tightly fastened. (If they are loose, it could give rise to burn-out of the wires.)
4) Specification of power source
5) Confirm that electrical capacity is sufficient.
6) Be sure that the starting voltage is maintained at more than 90 percent of the rated voltage marked on the name
plate.
7) Confirm that the cable thickness is as specified in the power sources specification.
(Particularly note the relation between cable length and thickness.)
8) Never fail to equip a leakage breaker where it is wet or moist.
9) The following troubles would be caused by voltage drop-down.
• Vibration of a magnetic switch, damage on the contact point there of, fuse breaking, disturbance to the normal
function of a overload protection device.
