- Fan Speed Adjustment: The fan speed button allows selection between high, medium, and low speeds.
- Oscillation Function: The SWING button activates or deactivates the air swing, allowing the swipe panes to be disabled or freeze at different desired angles.
- Sleep Mode: Not explicitly detailed but often a feature in such units, typically for quieter operation and adjusted temperature curves during sleep.
- Self-Diagnostic System: The unit has an automatic defrosting function and displays error codes (e.g., E1 for pipe temperature sensor fault, E2 for ambient temperature sensor fault, E4 for anti-freeze protection) to help identify problems.
- Water Tank Full Alarm: When the water in the water pan exceeds the warning level, the air conditioner will automatically alarm, and the display panel will show "FL".
- Automatic Defrost: The air conditioner has an automatic defrosting function during defrosting, the heating symbol on the display screen flashes.
- Automatic Thermal Protection: To protect the service life of the machine, the air conditioner has heating mode protection. During the protection period, the compressor and the lower motor will stop working and automatically return to the normal heating state after the air conditioner temperature recovers.
- Compressor Protection: After the compressor stops, the protection is triggered and the air conditioner will restart 3 minutes later.
- WIFI Connectivity: The manual refers to a WIFI application installation and user guide, indicating potential smart control features.
Maintenance Features
Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and efficient operation of the air conditioner.
- Cleaning the Surface: Clean the surface of the air conditioner with a damp soft cloth. Do not use detergents, chemical products, such as benzene, alcohol, petrol, etc., as there is a risk of deterioration. Avoid water splashing into the air conditioner.
- Cleaning the Filters: The filters should be cleaned every two weeks.
- Upper Filter: Manually remove the upper frame to access the filter, then unscrew the four screws securing the top filter to the rear panel.
- Lower Filter: Manually remove the filter by gently pulling.
- Cleaning Procedure: Place the filters in warm water (about 40°C) added neutral detergent, dry them in the shade after cleaning. Proceed with the reverse operations to replace the filters.
- Storage After the Season:
- Remove the rubber stopper and empty all the water contained in the tank.
- Turn on the air conditioner in fan mode (low airflow position). Let it run for 2 hours until the drain pipe and the inside of the air conditioner are dry to avoid mold.
