INTRODUCTION

HOW IT WORKS
Ductless Mini Split system is the newest thing to hit the HVAC industry. This is a new and energy efficient way to cool and heat a living or working space. The technology goes by many names ­ ductless air conditioning, mini split air conditioner, mini ductless ac and others.
Ductless Mini Split system uses 2 Units, One Inside (Indoor unit; the evaporator) and One Outside (Outdoor unit; the condenser). Essentially, this is an air conditioner that is split into 2 units, similar to central air conditioning. The difference is that split air conditioning consists of 2 units that are placed relatively close to each other. Best of all, you do not need to perform any additional ductwork in your home, because this technology uses no ducts at all.
The outside unit is the compressor unit, just like you`d see in a central air conditioner system. The inside unit simply hangs on the wall, and hoses and wires connect the 2 units together.
There are many advantages to Ductless Mini Split systems:

1. The installation is simple and quick.
2. The system is energy efficient because:
   • Cooled air is not blown through duct work. Energy wasted in long lengths of uninhabited ductwork means higher energy bills.
   • With Central Air you must cool an entire home when only one room may need cooling. On the other hand, ductless mini-splits cool only the areas you want and not the areas you don’t.
3. The air conditioner is also a mini split heat pump, so you get year -round use of the unit.
4. Ultra quiet operation as the louder components like compressors and motors are installed outdoors.

The advanced inverter technology used in the Whynter Ductless Mini Split Air Conditioners is the latest evolution of technology concerning the electro motors of the compressors. An inverter is used to control the speed of the compressor motor, so as to continuously regulate the temperature.

When the inverter air conditioning is switched on, the compressor operates at a high speed in order to cool or heat the room quickly. As the room temperature approaches the set temperature, the compressor slows down, maintaining a constant temperature and saving energy. Any sudden fluctuation in the room temperature will be sensed and instantly adjusted to bring the room temperature back to the set temperature. Below are the advantages of inverter technology.

• At least 30% – 50% cheaper to run as it consumes less power
• Quicker to achieve desired temperature
• Quieter operation
• No temperature fluctuations
• No voltage peaks from compressor

MODES OF OPERATION

AUTO MODE OPERATION
When you set the air conditioner in AUTO mode, it will automatically select cooling, heating, or fan only operation depending on what temperature you have selected and the room temperature. The indoor unit has a preset temperature of 76°F when AUTO mode is initially started.

• If the room temperature is 1°F(2°C) higher than the set temperature, the air conditioner will run in Cool mode.
• If the room temperature is 1°F(2°C) lower than the set temperature, the air conditioner will run in Heat mode.
• If the room temperature is 1°F(2°C) within the set temperature, the air conditioner will run in Fan mode.

NOTE: The fan speed is automatically selected and cannot be changed

COOL MODE OPERATION
In this mode, the air conditioner cools and dehumidifies the room. To activate this function mode, press the MODE button on the remote control until the COOL indicator display comes on. When the cooling mode is set, the compressor will start in approximately 3 minutes. The cooling temperature setting range of this air conditioner is from 62°F-90°F or 17°C-32°C. To set the temperature, press the UP and DOWN buttons. This air conditioner has a 5°F temperature cushion which if the set temperature is within 5°F of the ambient temperature, the unit runs on fan only mode. This saves energy and prolongs the life of the compressor of the air conditioner. To set the fan speed, press the FAN button. In cooling mode, the difference in noise level between the 3 fan speeds is not very noticeable. Try setting the unit to Fan only mode, you should be able to hear the difference between high and low fan speed settings.

DRY MODE OPERATION
In this mode, the air conditioner only dehumidifies the room, the compressor will activate intermittently depending on the ambient temperature and the fan speed is set to LOW. To activate this function mode, press the MODE button on the remote control until the DRY indicator display comes on. Please note that when switching function mode, there will be an approximately 3 minute transition time. NOTE: Fan speed is defaulted to AUTO and cannot be changed in Dry Mode.

To activate this function mode, press the MODE button on the remote control until the FAN indicator display comes on. Temperature setting buttons are deactivated. However, fan speed can still be adjusted as desired.

HEAT MODE OPERATION
This air conditioner operates on the heat-pump principle, absorbing heat from air outdoors and transferring that heat to the indoor unit. In this mode, the air conditioner heats the room. To activate this function mode, press the MODE button on the remote control until the HEAT indicator display comes on. When the heating mode is set, the compressor will start in approximately 3-5 minutes. The heating temperature setting range of this air conditioner is from 32°F – 86°F / 0°C – 30°C . To set the temperature, press the UP and DOWN buttons. To set the fan speed, press the FAN button. In heating mode, the difference in noise level between the 3 fan speeds is not very noticeable. Try setting the unit to Fan only mode, you should be able to hear the difference between high and low fan speed settings.

With the air conditioner is off, press the TIMER button. The TIMER ON light will come on. Then set the desired time delay ON hours by pressing the UP and DOWN buttons. The time increments are at 0.5 hour to up to 10 hours, followed by 1 hour increment up to 24 hours. When the delay time set has elapsed, the air conditioner switches on. To cancel the delayed switch on function, turn on the air conditioner or adjust the time setting to 0.0.

TIMER OFF SETTING
With the air conditioner operating in any function mode, press the TIMER button. The TIMER OFF light will come on. Then set the desired time delay OFF hours by pressing the UP and DOWN buttons. The time increments are at 0.5 hour to up to 10 hours, followed by 1 hour increment up to 24 hours. When the delay time set has elapsed, the air conditioner switches off. To cancel the delayed switch off function, turn off the air conditioner or adjust the time setting to 0.0.
NOTE: Timer ON and Timer OFF setting can be set at the same time.

SLEEP MODE FUNCTION
The SLEEP function is used to decrease energy use while you sleep. In this mode, the air conditioner gradually increases the set temperature in cooling mode and decreases the set temperature in heating mode. In Sleep mode, the set temperature is increased (cooling) or decreased (heating) by 1°C/ 2°F in the first 2 hours. This new temperature will remain the same for 5 hours, after which the air conditioner will automatically switch OFF. To activate this function mode, press the SLEEP button on the remote control until the SLEEP indicator light comes on. This function can only be used in AUTO, COOL and HEAT modes.
NOTE: Changing function mode or fan speed will cancel the Sleep mode

AIR FLOW DIRECTION CONTROL
Air flow direction can be remotely controlled by pressing the SWING and DIRECT buttons on the remote control.

• Press the SWING button to activate auto-Swing mode. The horizontal air louvers will start moving up and down. Pressing the SWING button again to cancel the auto-Swing mode and the air louver will stop. Press the DIRECT button to change the louver movement and set the desired up/down air flow direction. The louver changes 6° in angle for each press.

NOTES:

• A fixed louver angle in a high / horizontal angle is recommended for COOL and FAN modes for reaching across the room.
• A fixed louver angle in a low / downward angle is recommended for HEAT and DRY modes to prevent creating air draft effect on people.
• Never adjust the louvers by hand to prevent damage to the delicate driver motors.
• Manually adjust the deflector rods to direct the air to the right or left direction as desired. (see Fig. 1)

CAUTION

• Do not operate the air conditioner for long periods with the air flow direction set downward in cooling or dehumidifying mode. Otherwise, condensation may occur on the surface of the horizontal louver causing moisture to drop on to the floor or on furnishings. (see Fig. 2).
• When the air conditioner is started immediately after it was stopped, the horizontal louver might not move for approximately 10 seconds.
• Open angle of the horizontal louver should not be set too small, as COOLING or HEATING performance may be impaired due to too restricted air flow area.
• Do not move the horizontal louver manually, otherwise the horizontal louver will be out of sync. Turn off the air conditioner for at least 3 minutes, then restart the unit.
• Do not operate unit with horizontal louver in closed position.
• Do not put your fingers in or near the blower and suction side of the unit. The high-speed fan inside the unit may cause injury.

NOTE: It is highly recommend that the open angle of the horizontal louver should not be set too small, in case the condensed water forms and drops from the horizontal louver.

FOLLOW ME FUNCTION
The remote control serves as a remote thermostat allowing for the precise and comfortable temperature control. With this technology, an efficient temperature sensor is integrated in the remote control. To activate the Follow me function, press Follow Me button on the remote control. Once this function is activated, the remote control will send the temperature signal to the air conditioner every 3 minutes interval until you press the Follow Me button again. The air conditioner will automatically cancel the Follow Me feature if it does not receive the signal during any 7 minutes interval.
NOTE: The Follow Me feature is not available in DRY and FAN mode. Shifting the operating mode or turning off the unit will cancel the Follow Me feature automatically. The remote control needs to be within 26 feet reach of the indoor unit for the Follow Me mode to work appropriately.

SELF-CLEAN FUNCTION
Self Clean function will prevent growth of harmful micro-organisms by eliminating the moisture inside of the indoor unit. In this function, the indoor unit will run in fan mode for 11 minutes. Once the time has elapsed, a low heat operation will run for 1 minute and will then switch to fan mode for another 2 minutes. The appliance will automatically shut-off once the cycle completes.
NOTE: It is recommended the use the Self Clean function every 15 days. In high humidity environment, use it in a weekly basis. This will prevent rusting of the air conditioner’s evaporator coil.

SILENCE FUNCTION
Press the “Silence” button on the remote control to initiate Silence function. When the Silence function is activated, the compressor will run at a low frequency rate and the indoor unit will bring faint breeze, which will reduce the noise to the lowest level and create a quiet and comfortable environment.

LOW TEMPERATURE HEATING (FP mode)
The FP (Freezing Protection) mode is designed to run at ambient temperature as low as 46°F / 8°C, which keeps the room temperature at a comfortable level during the winter season.
NOTE: This unit uses heat pump for heating and the heating mode does not work when temperature is below 45°F.

REFRIGERANT LEAKAGE DETECTION
With this safety feature, the indoor unit will display “EC” when it detects a refrigerant leakage.

ANTI-COLD AIR FUNCTION
The unit is designed not to blow cold air on HEAT mode when the indoor heat exchanger is in one of the following three situations and the set temperature has not been reached.

• When heating has just started
• Defrosting
• Low temperature heating

To prevent cold air flow, the indoor unit’s fan will stop if the indoor coil temperature is lower than 62°F(17°C). The fan operation will resume once the indoor coil’s temperature is higher than 88F.

OPERATION TIPS

The following events may occur during normal operation:

Protection of the air conditioner.

Compressor protection
To prevent damages to the compressor, the compressor will not restart during the protection circuit for about 3 minutes after sudden off operation.

Defrosting

• Frost may be generated on the outdoor unit during heat cycle when outdoor temperature is low and hu-
  midity is high resulting in lower heating efficiency of the air conditioner.

• For frost protection, a microcomputer-controlled automatic defrost function is equipped in this air condi-
  tioner. If frost forms, the air conditioner will temporarily stop, and start defrosting automatically. The defrost indicator light on the indoor unit blinks during this operation.

• When unit is running on Defrost mode, the air conditioner will stop heating operation and start defrosting automatically.

• The time to defrost may vary from 4 to 10 minutes according to the outdoor temperature and the amount of frost built up on the outdoor unit.

Mist or steam from the indoor unit

• Mist or steam may be generated due to a sudden and large temperature difference between air inlet and air outlet in COOL or DRY mode. This is common when the relative humidity is high.
• Mist or steam may be generated due to moisture generated from defrosting process in HEAT mode after defrosting.

Noise of the air conditioner

• Air conditioners may make sounds that are not familiar to you. The sounds listed below are normal.
• The compressor may make a pulsating or high-pitched sound.
• Refrigerant flowing may make a gurgling or low hissing sound.
• Fan sound may come from indoor unit.
• In Heat mode, a sizzling sound produced by the automatic defrosting operation may be heard.

Dusty air output

• This is a normal condition when the air conditioner has not been used for a long time or during first use of the unit.

Smell coming from the unit

• This is caused by the smell from the interior, such as furniture, building material or cigarette smoke into the air conditioner.

The air conditioner turns to FAN only mode from COOL or HEAT mode.

• When indoor temperature reaches the set temperature, the compressor will stop automatically and the air conditioner runs in FAN only mode.
• The compressor will start again when the indoor temperature rises above the set temperature in Cool mode or drops below the set temperature in Heat mode.

Dripping water

• Dripping water may generate on the surface of the indoor unit when cooling in a high relatively humidity (relative humidity higher than 80%). Adjust the horizontal louver to the maximum air outlet position and select HIGH fan speed.

Heating mode

• The air conditioner draws in heat from the outdoor unit and releases it via the indoor unit during heating operation. When the outdoor temperature falls, heat drawn in by the air conditioner decreases accordingly. At the same time, heat loading of the air conditioner increases due to larger difference between indoor and outdoor temperature. If a comfortable temperature can’t be achieved by the air conditioner, we suggest you use a supplementary heating device.

Malfunctions caused by other devices

• Lightning or wireless radio transmitter operating nearby may cause the unit to malfunction. If you encounter such a malfunction, restart the unit or turn off and restart the circuit breaker.

TROUBLESHOOTING

·      A squeaking sound may occur after running the unit in HEAT mode due to expansion and con- traction of the unit’s plastic parts.

Both the indoor unit and outdoor unit make noises| ·      Low hissing sound during operation: This is normal and is caused by refrigerant gas flowing through both indoor and outdoor units.

·      Low hissing sound when the system starts, has just stopped running, or is defrosting: This noise

is normal and is caused by the refrigerant gas stopping or changing direction.

·      Squeaking sound: Normal expansion and contraction of plastic and metal parts caused by tem- perature changes during operation can cause squeaking noises.

The outdoor unit makes noises| ·      The unit will make different sounds based on its current operating mode.
Dust is emitted from either the indoor or outdoor unit| ·      The unit may accumulate dust during extended periods of non-use, which will be emitted when the unit is turned on. This can be mitigated by covering the unit during long periods of inactivity.
The unit emits a bad odor| ·      The unit may absorb odors from the environment (such as furniture, cooking, cigarettes, etc.) which will be emitted during operations.

·      The unit’s filters have become moldy and should be cleaned.

The fan of the outdoor unit does not operate| ·      During operation, the fan speed is controlled to optimize product operation.
