This document describes the Koldfront Portable Air Conditioner models PAC802W and PAC1202W, providing an owner's manual with important safety information, operation instructions, technical specifications, and maintenance guidelines.
Function Description:
The Koldfront Portable Air Conditioner is designed for indoor use to provide cooling, dehumidification, and fan-only operation. It is equipped with a Leakage-Current Detection and Interruption (LCDI) safety plug to reduce the risk of fire due to arcing faults in the power supply cord. The unit is portable, featuring casters for easy movement, and requires venting to the outside when operating in cooling mode. It exhausts condensed water, in either gaseous or droplet form, out of the exhaust port. In very humid conditions, an internal reservoir may fill, causing the unit to turn off and require manual draining.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Models: PAC802W, PAC1202W
- Voltage / Frequency: AC 115 V ~ 60 Hz for both models.
- Input Power: 900 W for PAC802W, 1350 W for PAC1202W.
- Current: 8.0 A for PAC802W, 12.0 A for PAC1202W.
- Color: White for both models.
- Coolant: R410A for both models.
- Timer: 24 Hour for both models.
- Dimensions (W x H x D): 18.75" x 34.5" x 15.75" for both models.
- Weight: 57.2 lbs. for PAC802W, 62.7 lbs. for PAC1202W.
- Exhaust Hose Length: Can be extended up to approximately 48 inches for maximum efficiency, but the shortest possible length is recommended.
Usage Features:
- Control Panel and Remote Control: The unit can be operated via a control panel on the unit or a universal remote control (requires two AAA batteries).
- Operating Modes:
- Cooling Mode: Sets a desired room temperature (17°C/62°F to 30°C/88°F) and fan speed (LOW, MID, HIGH, AUTO).
- Dry Operation (Dehumidify): Removes moisture from the air. Fan speed and temperature cannot be adjusted in this mode. The exhaust hose can be used to remove hot air and moisture for more efficient dehumidification.
- Auto Operation: Automatically selects cooling or fan mode based on the set temperature and ambient temperature. Fan speed cannot be selected.
- Fan Operation: Circulates air. Fan speed can be selected (LOW, MID, HIGH, AUTO). Temperature cannot be adjusted. The exhaust hose can be used to remove hot air for more efficient operation.
- LED Display: Shows set temperature (°C or °F), room temperature (in DRY and FAN modes), error codes, and alerts.
- Auto Swing Feature: Initiated by the SWING button, allows louvers to swing up and down automatically. Louvers can be stopped and held at a desired angle. Manual adjustment of louvers is not recommended.
- Timer Function: Allows setting an AUTO ON start time and AUTO OFF stop time program, adjustable in 0.5-hour increments up to 10 hours, then 1-hour increments up to 24 hours.
- Sleep/ECO Operation: Increases the set temperature by 1°C/1°F after 30 minutes, and by another 1°C/1°F after an additional 30 minutes. This new temperature is maintained for 7 hours before reverting to the original setting. This feature is unavailable in FAN or DRY mode and can only be activated via remote control.
- Auto-Restart: If power is interrupted, the unit will restart in its last used mode and settings once power is restored. The compressor restarts after 3 minutes.
- Temperature Unit Conversion: Press and hold the UP and DOWN buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds to switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius.
- Short Cut Button (Remote Control): Restores current settings or resumes previous settings, including operating mode, setting temperature, fan speed, and sleep feature. Holding for more than two seconds reverts to current settings.
Maintenance Features:
- Cleaning the Unit: Use a soft dry cloth or a lukewarm damp cloth. A soft bristle brush can clean between vents, and a vacuum cleaner can clean condenser coils. Abrasive chemicals, volatile substances, gasoline, detergents, chemically treated cloths, or other cleaning solvents should not be used. Water should never be sprayed directly on the unit.
- Cleaning the Pre-filter: The pre-filter should be cleaned periodically (weekly in dusty environments). Power off the unit, remove the pre-filter, vacuum or tap off loose dust, then rinse under lukewarm water (below 104°F). A mild soap and water solution can be used if needed. Allow the filter to air dry completely before reinstalling. The unit should never be operated without the pre-filter.
- Draining the Unit:
- Continuous Drain: In dehumidifying mode, remove the upper drain plug and attach the drain hose to the continuous drain outlet, routing it to a suitable drainage port.
- Manual Drain: In cooling mode, if the internal water reservoir fills (indicated by a "P1" error code and beeping), the unit will turn off. Move the unit to a drain location, remove the bottom drain plug, and connect the drain hose to the bottom tray manual drain outlet. The unit drains by gravity. Reinstall the drain plug and restart the unit after draining.
- Preparation for Storage: Before extended storage, drain all water from the reservoir, operate in fan mode for a few hours to dry internal coils, power off, unplug and wind the power cord, and remove and store the exhaust hose and duct connectors.
- Filter Reminder: After 250 hours of operation, the Filter indicator light illuminates as a reminder to clean the air filter. Press the Sleep button for 3 seconds to reset this reminder.
- Designed for indoor use only.
- Avoid extremely humid or wet environments.
- Do not wet the housing or control panel.
- Always turn off and unplug before cleaning or when not in use for a long period.
- Do not operate with a damaged plug or loose socket.
- Use only the correct power supply and amperage.
- A damaged power cord must be replaced by the manufacturer, service agent, or qualified technician.
- Do not remove any part of the casing unless instructed by an authorized technician.
- Not intended for use by children; children should be supervised.
- Do not allow children to play with controls or drop objects into air outlets/vents.
- Do not place objects or sit on the unit.
- Use in an upright position on a flat, level surface with at least 20 inches of clearance from walls/objects.
- Route the power cord carefully to avoid tripping hazards.
- Intended for domestic use only; commercial use may invalidate the warranty.
- Electrical products should be recycled at a local recycling center.
- The LCDI plug must be tested before use: plug in, press TEST (should trip), then press RESET to operate. Do not use TEST/RESET as an ON/OFF switch.
- Longer exhaust hoses are not recommended.
- The exhaust hose must be installed in Cooling Mode. In Dehumidify and Fan Modes, it can operate with or without the hose, but the hose provides more efficient operation.
- Never spray water directly on the unit.
- Never operate the unit without the pre-filter.
