Problem
Unit does not
turn on when
pressing ON/
OFF button
The unit changes
from COOL mode
to FAN mode
The indoor unit
emits white mist
Both the indoor

emit white mist
The unit has a 3-minute protection feature that prevents the unit from
overloading. The unit cannot be restarted within three minutes of being
turned o .
Cooling and Heating Models: If the Operation light and PRE-DEF (Pre-heating/
Defrost) indicators are lit up, the outdoor temperature is too cold and the unit' s
anti-cold wind is activated in order to defrost the unit.
In Cooling-only Models: If the "Fan Only" indicator is lit up, the outdoor
temperature is too cold and the unit' s anti-freeze protection is activated in
order to defrost the unit.
The unit changes its setting to prevent frost from forming on the unit. Once
the temperature increases, the unit will start operating again.
The set temperature has been reached, at which point the unit turns o the
compressor. The unit will resume operating when the temperature fluctuates
again.
In humid regions, a large temperature di erence between the room' s air and
the conditioned air can cause white mist.
When the unit restarts in HEAT mode after defrosting, white mist may be
emitted due to moisture generated from the defrosting process.
