2.3 Features
Default Setting
When the air conditioner restarts after a
power failure, it will default to the factory
settings (AUTO mode, AUTO fan, 24°C
(76°F)). This may cause inconsistencies
on the remote control and unit panel. Use
your remote control to update the status.

In case of power failure, the system will
immediately stop. When power returns,
the Operation light on the indoor unit will
ash. To restart the unit, press the ON/
OFF button on the remote control. If the
system has an auto restart function, the
unit will restart using the same settings.
Louver Angle Memory Function
(Optional)
Some models are designed with a louver
angle memory function. When the unit
restarts after a power failure, the angle of
the horizontal louvers will automatically
return to the previous position. The angle
of the horizontal louver should not be
set too small as condensation may form
and drip into the machine. To reset the
louver, press the manual button, which
will reset the horizontal louver settings.

temperature levels.
While cooling, close the curtains to
avoid direct sunlight.
Doors and windows should be kept
closed to keep cool or warm air in the
room.
DO NOT place objects near the air
inlet and outlet of the unit. This will
reduce the eciency of the unit.
Set a timer and use the built-in SLEEP/
ECONOMY mode if applicable.
If you don’t plan to use the unit for a
long time, remove the batteries from
the remote control.
Clean the air lter every two weeks.
A dirty lter can reduce cooling or
heating eciency.
Adjust louvers properly and avoid
direct airow.
Closing curtains during heating also
helps keep the heat in
Doors and windows should be
kept closed

5.1 Common Problems
The following symptoms are not a
malfunction and in most situations will
not require repairs.
Problem Possible Causes
Unit does not turn
on when pressing
ON/OFF button
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
from COOL mode
to FAN mode
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 uctuates again.
The indoor unit
emits white mist
In humid regions, a large temperature dierence between the
room’s air and the conditioned air can cause white mist.
20 www.electrolux.com
5.2 Troubleshooting Tips
When troubles occur, please check the
following points before contacting a
repair company.
Problem Possible Causes
Both the indoor and
outdoor units emit
white mist
When the unit restarts in HEAT mode after defrosting, white
mist may be emitted due to moisture generated from the
defrosting process.
The indoor unit
makes noises
A squeaking sound is heard when the system is OFF or in
COOL mode. The noise is also heard when the drain pump
(optional) is in operation.
A squeaking sound may occur after running the unit in HEAT
mode due to expansion and contraction of the unit’s plastic
parts.
Both the indoor unit
and outdoor unit
make noises
A low hissing sound may occur during operation. This is normal
and is caused by refrigerant gas owing through both the
indoor and outdoor units.
A low hissing sound may be heard when the system starts, has
just stopped running or is defrosting. This noise is normal and
is caused by the refrigerant gas stopping or changing direction.
The outdoor unit
makes noises
The unit will make dierent sounds based on its current
operating mode.
Dust is emitted from
either the indoor or
outdoor unit
The unit may accumulate dust during extended periods of
non-use, which will be emitted when the unit is turned on. This
can be mitigated by covering the unit during long periods of
inactivity.
The unit emits
a bad odor
The unit may absorb odors from the environment (such as
furniture, cooking, cigarettes, etc.) which will be emitted during
operations.
The unit’s lters have become moldy and should be cleaned.
The fan of the
outdoor unit does
not operate
During operation, the fan speed is controlled to optimize
product operation.
Problem Possible Causes Solution
The unit is not
working
Power failure Wait for the power to be restored
The power switch is o Turn on the power
The fuse is burned out Replace the fuse
Remote control batteries are
dead
