The electriQ P12HPW is a versatile 4-in-1 portable air conditioner designed for rooms up to 30 m². It offers cooling, heating, fan, and dehumidifier functions, making it suitable for various climate control needs throughout the year.
Function Description:
The P12HPW operates in four main modes:
- Cooling: Expels cold air through the front outlet and hot air through the vent pipe. The desired room temperature can be set between 16 and 32 degrees Celsius.
- Heating: Expels hot air through the front outlet and cold air through the vent pipe. The desired room temperature can be set between 16 and 32 degrees Celsius.
- Fan: Circulates air without cooling or heating. The fan speed can be adjusted.
- Dehumidifier (DRY): Removes moisture from the air. In this mode, the unit should be operated without the vent hose and set up for continuous drainage. It operates at a low fan speed and displays "dH" on the display.
The unit features a 3-speed fan (Low, Med, High) to balance quiet operation with performance. It also includes a 24-hour start/stop timer, a digital thermostat, and a remote control for convenient operation. For enhanced portability, the unit is equipped with castors.

Usage Features:
- Control Panel: Intuitive buttons for Power, Mode, Speed, Timer, Dry, and Swing functions.
- Remote Control: Full control over all functions from a distance.
- Smart WIFI App Control: Allows remote control and monitoring of the air conditioner via the "TUYA SMART" app on a smartphone or tablet. This includes setting modes, temperature, fan speed, and timers.
- Connection Methods: Supports EZ (Quick Connection) and AP (Access Point) modes.
- Smart Scenes: Users can program intelligent behaviors based on internal and external environmental conditions, creating one-touch buttons for preset configurations.
- Automation: Allows automatic actions triggered by time, indoor temperature, humidity, weather conditions, and other influences.
- Installation: The unit is portable and can be moved between rooms. It comes with an exhaust hose and a window slide bar kit for venting hot air. The fishtail connector attaches to the hose and the window kit.
- Drainage:
- Manual Drainage: When the internal water tank is full, the unit stops operating and displays "E4". Water can be drained manually by removing the rubber stopper from the lower drain plug.
- Continuous Drainage: A water pipe can be connected to the upper water outlet for continuous drainage, useful in heating mode or for unattended use.
- Self-Evaporative Function: In cooling mode, the unit reuses most of the water to cool condenser coils, evaporating any excess, reducing the need to empty the tank if vented correctly.
- Multi-Protective Functions:
- Frost Protection: Automatically stops operation if exhaust temperature is too low in COOL, DRY, or AUTO modes.
- Overflow Protection: Stops operation and sounds an alarm ("E4") when the internal water tank is full.
- Auto-Defrost: Automatically defrosts internal coils if their temperature drops too low.
- Automatic Thermal Protection: Stops compressor and lower motor if internal temperature is outside the specified range, resuming normal operation once the temperature recovers.
- Compressor Protection: Features a 3-minute delay start to prevent damage to the compressor.
- Auto-Restart: Retains settings in the event of a power failure.
Maintenance Features:
- Cleaning the Surface: Clean with a wet soft cloth; avoid chemicals like benzene, alcohol, or gasoline.
- Air Filter Cleaning: Filters should be cleaned approximately every three weeks, or more frequently depending on air quality. This involves sliding out the filter screen frames and washing them in warm water with neutral detergent (around 40°C/104°F), then drying in the shade before reinstalling.
- End of Season Maintenance:
- Empty the internal water tank.
- Run the unit in low fan mode for half a day to dry the conduit and prevent mold.
- Turn off and unplug the unit.
- Replace the rubber stopper.
- Coil and bind the power cord.
- Separate and safely store the air-exhaust pipe.
- Cover the unit and store it in a dry place.
- Remove batteries from the remote control.
Safety Instructions:
- For indoor use only.
- Connect to a 220-240 V / 50 Hz earthed outlet.
- Do not cover or restrict airflow.
- Maintain a minimum distance of 50cm from walls/objects for maximum performance.
- Do not use the cooling function when ambient temperature is higher than 38°C to protect the unit.
- Always store and transport the unit upright to prevent compressor damage. Wait at least 24 hours before starting if it has been moved.
- Avoid restarting within 3 minutes of turning off.
- Do not use the mains plug as a switch; use the ON/OFF button.
- Place on a dry, stable surface.
- Not for use in laundry or wet rooms.
- Place in a room without ignition sources (open flames, gas appliances, electric heaters).
- Ensure the refrigerant system is not perforated or punctured.
