Common Issues and Troubleshooting
-
**Unit Does Not Start**
This can be due to several issues such as no electricity reaching the unit, the remote control batteries needing replacement, or the power cord not being properly plugged in. Additionally, a tripped safety LCDI plug could be the cause -
**Runs But Not Cooling**
This issue might occur if a window or door is open, the dust filter is dirty, the exhaust hose is detached, or the temperature setting is too high. Other causes could be a blocked air outlet/intake or a room exceeding the recommended size -
**Runs for a Short Time Only**
This may happen if the thermostat setting is too close to the current room temperature, or if there are obstructions in the exhaust hose such as tight bends -
**Unit Keeps Switching Off in Heating Mode**
This occurs in humid conditions where the water tank fills quickly due to condensation generated by the heat pump. In more humid rooms, it will collect moisture faster, and it's recommended to use the unit in a room with humidity below 50% -
**Power Button Blinking, Water Full Indicator**
Indicates excess water condensation inside the tank, which needs to be drained. This stops the unit from operating until resolved
Maintenance Recommendations
-
1. **Clean Dust Filters**
Frequency: **Every Two Weeks**
Remove both upper and lower dust filters. Wash them gently using water and/or diluted dishwashing detergent. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before reinstalling. You may use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust. -
2. **Drain Water Condensation**
Frequency: **As Needed**
In high humidity areas, check and drain condensation manually. Remove the lower drain plug and allow water to drain into a shallow pan. Replace the drain plug after draining. This is necessary when the unit’s power button blinks, indicating that the internal tank is full. -
3. **End of Season Maintenance**
Frequency: **Before Storage**
When not using the appliance for an extended period, run in Fan only mode for 30 minutes to dry excess moisture. Drain leftover water, clean the dust filters, and disconnect from power. -
4. **General Cleaning**
Frequency: **As Needed**
Use a soft, dry cloth for exterior cleaning. Ensure the unit is turned off and unplugged during cleaning. -
5. **Continuous Draining in Dehumidifier Mode**
Frequency: **As Needed**
Connect a ¾" hose to the upper drain plug for continuous drainage when in dehumidifier mode. -
6. **Store Window Kit Parts**
Frequency: **Before Storage**
Clean and store window-kit components and remote control with the air conditioner to prevent loss and damage.
- Turn off and unplug the air conditioner before cleaning to avoid electrical shock or injury.
- Clean the dust filter every two weeks to maintain cooling efficiency. Gently wash the filters using water and diluted dishwashing detergent, dry thoroughly before reinstalling.
- Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the appliance exterior, avoiding the use of wet or abrasive cloths that can damage the unit.
- Before long-term storage, drain left-over water condensation by removing the lower drain plug, then run the unit in fan-only mode for 30 minutes to ensure it's dry.
- Store the air conditioner without covering it with plastic bags to prevent damage. Coil the power cord properly to avoid bends and creases.

Energy Efficiency Tips
- Ensure doors and windows are closed when using the unit in air conditioning or dehumidifying mode to prevent air leakage and maintain efficiency.
- Regularly clean the dust filter every two weeks to maintain optimal air cooling efficiency.
- Utilize the timer function to schedule operation during only the necessary hours, reducing unnecessary energy consumption.
- Use the air conditioner on the appropriate room size. Avoid using it in excessively large rooms beyond its cooling capacity to ensure optimal performance.
- Keep the unit at least 20 inches (50 cm) away from the wall and remove any obstructions to ensure good airflow and efficient operation.
- DO NOT operate the unit with a damaged plug or loose wall outlet. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent to avoid a hazard.
- Always connect the unit to a grounded outlet that matches the appliance's electrical specifications. Improper connection may cause electrical shock.
- DO NOT use an extension cord with this unit. It should be plugged directly into an appropriate power outlet.
- DO NOT operate your air conditioner in a wet room, such as a bathroom or laundry room, to avoid risks of electrical shock.
- If service is required, contact a registered professional electrician or authorized service agent. Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the unit yourself, as this can be very dangerous.
