Description

Koldwave Portable Air Conditioners feature spot cooling for large areas where cooling of the entire area is not practical. A dedicated spot cooling thermostat controls the unit in this application. These air conditioners can also be used in smaller areas for room cooling. A control panel provides ease of use and contains a self-diagnostic function and display, showing operating modes, room and set temperatures, and faults. If an abnormal operation occurs, a visual display of the fault is shown. Caster wheels are included for easy portability. Suitable applications include: a factory or work place, industrial kitchen, computer room, emergency cooling, outdoor event, etc.

Unpacking
Aft er unpacking the unit, carefully inspect unit for any damage that may have occurred during transit. Check for any loose, missing, or damaged parts.

Maintenance

FILTER CLEANING (See Figures 10 and 11)
There are two filters in the unit. The evaporator filter is located at the front of the unit. The condenser filter is located at the side of the unit.

1. Loosen up 2 bolts on the front filter guard.
2. Slide filter up and use a vacuum cleaner to remove the dust from the filter.
3. If the filter is heavily covered with dust and dirt, warm water and mild soap or neutral detergent may be used to wash the filter. Do not use any other chemicals to clean filter, as they will likely damage the filter.
4. Dry the filter in a shaded area before replacing it. Do not operate the unit without the filter installed and the filter guard in the closed position.
5. Replace the clean filter and close the filter guard.
6. To clean the condenser filter, lift up on the side filter from the middle bar slightly and then angle the filter outwards from the bottom and remove.
7. Use the same cleaning procedure as above (3 – 5). 8. To replace the condenser filter, place the top of the filter in the guide and slide the filter up until the bottom of the filter clears the frame. Then push the bottom of filter into the guide and let filter gently fall inside the guide.
   NOTE: For effective cooling clean the filter at least every 2 weeks.
