What are some common symptoms of the PANASONIC CU-4Z24BBUC that do not indicate a malfunction?

Symptom Cause
POWER indicator blinks before the unit is switched on. This is a preliminary step to prepare for the TIMER operation. The unit may start earlier (up to 35 minutes) to achieve the desired temperature on time.
POWER indicator blinks during HEAT mode with no warm air supply (and flap is closed). The unit is in defrost mode (and AIR SWING has been set to AUTO).
TIMER indicator is always ON. When a Timer has been set, the Timer setting repeats daily.
Operation is delayed a few minutes after restarting. The delay is a protection to the unit’s compressor.
Cooling/heating capacity is reduced during lowest fan speed setting. The lowest fan speed is for low noise operation, so capacity may be reduced. Increase the fan speed to increase capacity.
In COOL mode, when room temperature reaches near set temperature, the compressor stops, and the indoor unit fan speed is reduced. This is to prevent the room humidity from rising. The fan will resume according to the set fan speed when the room temperature increases.
Indoor fan stops occasionally during heating operation. This is to avoid an unintended cooling effect.
Indoor fan stops occasionally during automatic fan speed setting. This is to help remove surrounding odor.
Airflow continues even after operation has stopped. This is to extract the remaining heat from the indoor unit (maximum 30 seconds).
During deice operation, the flap is closed. The AIR SWING is set to AUTO.
The room has a peculiar odor. This may be due to a damp smell from the wall, carpet, furniture, or clothing.
Cracking sound during operation. Changes in temperature cause the unit to expand and contract.
Water flowing sound during operation. Refrigerant is flowing inside the unit.
Mist emerges from the indoor unit. During cooling operation, the discharged cold air may condense into water vapor.
Outdoor unit emits water or steam. During cooling, condensation on cold pipes may drip. During heating, frost from the deice cycle melts and is discharged as water or steam.
Discoloration of some plastic parts. Discoloration depends on the type of plastic and is accelerated by exposure to heat, sunlight, UV light, or environmental factors.
