    When heating operation starts, warm air does not blow from the indoor unit soon. Warm air does not blow until the indoor unit has sufficiently warmed up.
    During heating mode, the air conditioner stops before the set room temperature is reached. When the outdoor temperature is low and the humidity is high, frost may form on the outdoor unit. If this occurs, the outdoor unit performs a de- frosting operation. Normal operation should begin after approximately 10 minutes.
    When the airflow direction is changed, the vanes always move up and down past the set position before finally stopping at the position. When the airflow direction is changed, the vanes move to the set position after detecting the base position.
    A flowing water sound or occasional hissing sound is heard. These sounds can be heard when refrigerant is flowing in the air conditioner or when the refrigerant flow is changing.
    A cracking or creaking sound is heard. These sounds can be heard when parts rub against each due to expansion and contraction from temperature changes.
    The room has an unpleasant odor. The indoor unit draws in air that contains gases produced from the walls, carpeting, and furniture as well as odors trapped in clothing, and then blows this air back into the room.
    A white mist or vapor is emitted from the indoor unit.
    • If the indoor temperature and the humidity are high, this condition may occur when operation starts.
    • During defrosting mode, cool airflow may blow down and appear like a mist.
    Water or vapor is emitted from the outdoor unit.
    • During cooling mode, water may form and drip from the cool pipes and joints.
    • During heating mode, water may form and drip from the heat exchanger.
