→Wait until power is restored.
●Power plug may be loose out from the socket.
→The plug in the plug tightly.
●Power switch fuse may blow.
→Replace the fuse.
●The time for timing boot is yet to come.
→Wait or cancel the timer settings.
The air conditioner can't run after the immediate start-up after it is shut down.●If the air conditioner is turned on immediately after it is turned off, the protective delay switch will delay the operation for 3 to 5 minutes.
The air conditioner stops running after it starts up for a while.●May have reached the setting temperature.
→It is a normal function phenomenon.
●May be at a defrosting state.
→It will automatically restore and run again after defrosting.
●Shutdown Timer may be set.
→If you continue to use, please turn it on again.
The wind blows out, but the cooling/heating effect is not good.●Excessive accumulation of dust on filter, blocking at air inlet and outlet, and the excessively small angle of the louver blades all will affect the cooling and heating effect.
→Please clean the filter, remove the obstacles at the air inlet and outlet and regulate the angle of the louver blades.
●Poor cooling and heating effect caused by doors and windows opening, and unclosed exhaust fan.
→Please close the doors, windows, the exhaust fan, etc.
●Auxiliary heating function is not turned on while heating, which may lead to poor heating effect.
→Turn on the auxiliary heating function.(only for models with auxiliary heating function)
●Mode setting is incorrect, and the temperature and wind speed settings are not appropriate.
→Please re-select the mode, and set the appropriate temperature and wind speed.
The indoor unit blows out odor.●The air conditioner itself does not have undesirable odor. If there is odor, it may be due to accumulation of the odor in the environment.
→Clean the air filter or activate the cleaning function.
There is sound of running water during the running of air conditioner.●When the air conditioner is started up or stopped, or the compressor is started up or stopped during the running, sometimes the "hissing" sound of running water can be heard.
→This is the sound of the flow of the refrigerant, not a malfunction.
A slight "click" sound is heard at the of start-up or shut-down.●Due to temperature changes, panel and other parts will swell,causing the sound of friction.
→This is normal, not a fault.
The indoor unit makes abnormal sound.●The sound of fan or compressor relay switched on or off.
●When the defrosting is started or stop running, it will create sound.
→That is due to the refrigerant flows to reverse direction.
They are not malfunctions.
●Too much dust accumulation on the air filter of the indoor unit may result in fluctuation of the sound.
→Clean the air filters in time.
●Too much air noise when "Strong wind" is turned on.
→This is normal, if feeling uncomfortable, please deactivate the "Strong wind" function.
There are water drops over the surface of the indoor unit.●When ambient humidity is high, water drops will be accumulated around the air outlet or the panel, etc.
→This is a normal physics phenomenon.
●Prolonged cooling run in open space produces water drops.
→Close the doors and windows.
●Too small opening angle of the louver blades may also result in water drops at the air inlet.
→Increase the angle of the louver blades.
During the cooling operation, the indoor unit outlet sometimes will blow out mist.●When the indoor temperature and humidity are high, it happens sometimes.
→This is because the indoor air is cooled rapidly. After it runs for some time, the indoor temperature and humidity will be reduced and the mist will disappear.


Immediately stop all operations and cut off the power supply, contact our Service center locally in following situations.


Hear any harsh sound or smell any awful odor during running.

Abnormal heating of power cable and plug occurs.

The unit or remote controller has any impurity or water.
