This document describes the Tesla Split-Type Air Conditioner, specifically models using R32 DC Inverter technology. It provides comprehensive information on its function, technical specifications, usage, and maintenance.
Function Description
The Tesla Split-Type Air Conditioner is designed for cooling and heating indoor spaces. It utilizes R32 DC Inverter technology, which is an environmentally friendly refrigerant with low global warming potential (GWP). The inverter technology allows for precise temperature control and energy efficiency by adjusting the compressor speed rather than cycling it on and off. The unit consists of an indoor unit and an outdoor unit, connected by refrigerant piping and electrical wiring.
Key functions include:
- Cooling and Heating: Provides both cooling and heating modes to maintain desired indoor temperatures.
- Dehumidification: Reduces humidity levels in the air.
- Fan Operation: Circulates air without cooling or heating.
- Sleep Mode: Adjusts temperature automatically during sleep for comfort and energy saving.
- Timer Function: Allows users to set specific times for the unit to turn on or off.
- Self-Cleaning (iClean): Automatically cleans the indoor unit's evaporator to prevent mold and odor.
- Anti-Fungus: Prevents the growth of mold and mildew inside the indoor unit.
- ECO Mode: Optimizes operation for maximum energy efficiency.
- iFeel Function: Uses a sensor in the remote control to measure the ambient temperature and adjust the air conditioner's operation for more precise comfort.
- Swing Function: Controls the horizontal and vertical movement of the air louvers to distribute air evenly.
- Turbo Mode: Provides rapid cooling or heating.
- Quiet Mode (Silence): Operates at a lower fan speed for reduced noise.

Maintenance Features
Regular maintenance is crucial for the efficient and safe operation of the air conditioner.
Cleaning and Care:
- Indoor Unit Panel: Clean with a soft, damp cloth (below 40°C) and neutral detergent. Do not use harsh chemicals like benzene or gasoline.
- Air Filter: Clean regularly (every two weeks or more frequently depending on usage). Open the front panel, remove the filters, wash them with water, and dry thoroughly before reinstalling.
- Outdoor Unit: Keep the outdoor unit clean and free from obstructions.
- Pre-season Check: Before the start of the cooling/heating season, check for blockages in air inlets/outlets, proper drainage, secure grounding, and functional remote control batteries.
Troubleshooting:
The manual provides a detailed troubleshooting guide for common issues, such as:
- No power: Check power supply, fuse, and circuit breaker.
- Unit not starting immediately: This is normal for protective delays.
- Unit stops running for a while: May be due to reaching set temperature or defrosting.
- Poor cooling/heating effect: Check for dirty filters, blocked air inlets/outlets, open doors/windows, and correct mode/temperature settings.
- Indoor unit odor: Clean the air filter and indoor unit.
- Water running noise: Normal for refrigerant flow.
- Clicking sound: Normal for temperature changes and panel expansion/contraction.
- Abnormal noise/vibration: Check for loose parts or obstructions.
- Water drips on surface: Normal for condensation.
- Mist blowing out: Normal for rapid cooling/heating.
Installation and Repair:
- Professional Installation: Installation and major repairs should be performed by qualified professionals due to the use of flammable R32 refrigerant and high voltage.
- Leakage Check: Regular checks for refrigerant leaks are essential, especially during installation and maintenance. The manual describes methods like bubble testing and using a leak detector.
