The appliance uses R290 refrigerant, which is a flammable gas. Specific safety precautions are outlined for handling and servicing the unit due to this. The minimum size of the site for use and storage depends on the quantity of R290 gas in charge, with 270g requiring a minimum of 14 m².
Usage Features:
The air conditioner is designed for ease of use with both a control panel and a remote control.
- Operating Modes: Users can select between COOL, DEHUMIDIFY, HEAT (for heat pump models), and FAN modes.
- Temperature Control: The desired room temperature can be set using the "Increase" and "Decrease" buttons on the remote control.
- Fan Speed: Fan speed can be adjusted to Low, Medium, High, or Auto.
- Sleep Mode: This mode automatically adjusts temperature and fan speed over time to ensure comfort during the night and then turns off the appliance. In COOL mode, the temperature increases by 1°C (1°F) per hour for 2 hours, maintaining the new temperature for 6 hours. In HEAT mode, the temperature decreases by 1°C (1°F) per hour for 3 hours, maintaining the new temperature for 5 hours.
- Timer Function: Allows users to set a specific time for the appliance to turn on or off automatically.
- Turbo Function: Quickly cools a warm room by setting the temperature to 18°C (64°F) at high fan speed.
- Follow Me (Optional): The remote control acts as a thermostat, enabling precise temperature control at its location. The remote sends temperature signals to the air conditioner at 20-minute intervals.
- Child Lock: Prevents accidental changes to settings by locking the remote control buttons.
- Airflow Direction: The louver can be adjusted automatically or manually to control airflow direction.
- Installation: The unit requires proper installation of an exhaust hose and, for window installations, a window slider kit. The manual provides detailed instructions for horizontal and vertical window installations, as well as double-hung sash/casement window installations.
- Operating Conditions: The air conditioner should be operated within specific temperature ranges: COOL (18°C-35°C / 64°F-95°F), DEHUMIDIFY (18°C-35°C / 64°F-95°F), and HEAT (10°C-25°C / 50°F-77°F).
Maintenance Features:
Regular maintenance is crucial for the appliance's performance and longevity.
- Filter Cleaning: The air filter, located in the intake grill, should be cleaned every 2 weeks of operation. This involves using a vacuum cleaner to remove dust and then washing and drying the filter before re-inserting it.
- Water Drainage: The unit has a water reservoir that collects condensed water. When the tank is full, the appliance stops and displays "FT" (full tank). The manual provides instructions for both manual and continuous drainage. For manual drainage, the drain cap is removed, and water is run into a basin. For continuous drainage, a supplied drain hose can be connected to a standard garden hose for continuous water removal.
- End of Season Operation: Before storing the unit for the season, the power cable and plug should be undamaged. The unit should be run in fan mode to ensure the air conditioner is completely drained of water, and the filter should be cleaned and thoroughly dried before reinstalling.
- Refrigerant Recharge: The service manual includes a detailed procedure for recharging the refrigerant, which involves connecting a manifold pressure gauge, vacuum pump, and refrigeration copper charging valve to the PAC, vacuuming the air, and then recharging the gas. This procedure requires specialized tools and expertise.
- Disassembly Procedure: The manual provides step-by-step instructions with pictures for disassembling the unit, which is useful for maintenance and repair. This includes removing various panels, screws, connectors, and internal components like the evaporator, condenser, and duct assembly.
- Troubleshooting: A troubleshooting table helps diagnose common issues, such as the unit not turning on, not cooling effectively, making noise, or stopping operation. It provides possible causes and remedies, including draining water, resetting temperature, cleaning the air filter, and checking the remote control batteries. Error codes like "FT" (full tank) and "PT" (probe failure) are also explained.
