The German Pool WiFi Smart Portable Air Conditioner, model PAC-CH416-SC, is a versatile indoor appliance designed for cooling, heating, dehumidifying, and fan-only operation. It offers smart control capabilities via a smartphone app, allowing users to manage the unit remotely.
Function Description:
The PAC-CH416-SC operates in four main modes:
- Cool Mode: Provides cooling with an adjustable temperature range of 16°C to 32°C and adjustable fan speeds (High, Medium, Low).
- Heat Mode: Offers heating with an adjustable temperature range of 16°C to 32°C and adjustable fan speeds (High, Medium, Low).
- Dry Mode (Dehumidification): Removes moisture from the air. The temperature is not adjustable in this mode, and the fan speed is set to Low by default.
- Fan Mode: Circulates air without cooling or heating. The temperature is not adjustable in this mode, but fan speeds (High, Medium, Low) can be adjusted.
The unit also features a Sleep Mode for quiet operation and energy saving. In Sleep Mode, all indicator lights dim, the fan runs at a low speed (not adjustable), and the temperature adjusts automatically (increases by 2°C over two hours in Cool Mode, decreases by 2°C over two hours in Heat Mode) before remaining constant. Sleep Mode is not available in Dry or Fan modes.
A Timer Function allows users to set an Off-Timer (to automatically turn off the product) or an On-Timer (to automatically turn on the product from standby). The timer can be set from 1 to 24 hours and can be configured to repeat on specific days of the week.

Usage Features:
- Control Panel: The unit features an intuitive control panel with keys for On/Off, Mode, Increase/Decrease (temperature/timer), Fan Speed, Swing, Timer/WiFi, and Sleep. LED indicator lights display the current settings and mode.
- Remote Control: A dedicated remote control (requires 2 AAA batteries) provides convenient access to all functions, including On/Off, Mode selection (Cool, Heat, Dry, Fan), Fan Speed, Swing, Sleep Mode, Temperature Scale (°C/°F), and Timer settings.
- WiFi Smart Control: The appliance can be controlled via the "German Pool Smart Control" APP on smartphones (iOS and Android). This requires a 2.4 GHz WiFi connection. The app allows for remote operation, setting timers, and sharing control rights with other users.
- Installation: The unit is portable and comes with casters for easy movement on smooth, level surfaces. It includes an exhaust hose, an exhaust hose adaptor, and a window adaptor kit designed for most standard vertical and horizontal sliding windows. An alternative Air Vent Flap is also provided for venting exhaust air through a wall or window opening. Proper installation requires ensuring the exhaust hose is not bent more than 45° and maintaining at least 50cm of clear space around the unit for adequate ventilation.
- Drainage: The PAC-CH416-SC supports both manual and continuous drainage. Manual drainage involves unplugging a condensation drain port at the back of the unit. Continuous drainage can be set up by connecting the included drain hose (16mm inner diameter) to the continuous drainage outlet and directing it to a bucket. Continuous drainage is recommended for Heat and Dry modes, while manual drainage is suggested for Cool Mode to optimize cooling efficiency through water recycling.
- Compressor Delay Turn-On Protection: To protect the compressor, a 3-minute delay mechanism is activated after the unit is turned off, preventing immediate restart.
- Memory Function: The product has a built-in memory that retains the last used settings (mode, fan speed, temperature) even after being turned off or unplugged.
Maintenance Features:
- Surface Cleaning: The exterior should be wiped with a soft, moist cloth. Harsh chemicals, alcohol, gasoline, or thinners should not be used to avoid damage.
- Filter Cleaning: The air filter should be cleaned every two weeks to prevent dust accumulation and maintain performance. It can be removed, immersed in warm water with neutral detergent, rinsed, and air-dried completely in the shade. The unit should not be operated without the filter installed.
- Storage: For extended periods of non-use, the unit should be prepared for storage by:
- Draining all water from the condensation drain port.
- Running the unit in Fan Mode for 12 hours to dry the interior and prevent mildew.
- Turning off and unplugging the unit, securing the power cord, and re-plugging the drain ports.
- Detaching, cleaning, and air-drying the exhaust hose.
- Removing batteries from the remote control.
The unit and its accessories should be stored in their original box in a dry, ventilated area, out of reach of children.
Safety Precautions:
The appliance uses R290 (propane) as a flammable refrigerant. Users are warned against disassembling or repairing the product themselves, as this voids the warranty and poses safety risks. In case of refrigerant leaks, immediate evacuation and ventilation of the room are required, followed by contacting the local fire department and qualified service technicians. The manual emphasizes the importance of proper installation, avoiding ignition sources, and ensuring adequate ventilation. It also includes warnings regarding battery fluid leakage from the remote control and general electrical safety.
