Maintenance

Maintain the indor unit

1. Cut off the power supply

2. Wipe the appliance with a soft and dry cloth.
   The water temperature should be below 40°C.

3. Never use volatile substance such as gasoline and polishing powder to clean the appliance.

4. Never sprinkle water to the indoor unit.

5. Dry the appliance.
   Operate the appliance at FAN ONLY mode on a fine day for about half a day to dry the internal components of the indoor unit.

Clean the air filter

1. Switch off the power supply circuit and remove air filters as following.
   The installation or remove of air filters must by an adult in order to avoid a hazard.

2. Clean air filters
   Wipe the air filters with a soft cloth or pat it lightly, or clean it with a dust arrester or warm water containing neutral detergent when it is very dirty. Then dry it in a shaded and cool place.

3. Put the air filters back to the unit.
   Clean the air filters when the appliance has operated for over 300 hours.
   Clean the air filters every two weeks if the air conditioner operates in an extremely dusty environment.

Protection

Operating condition
The protective device may trip and stop if it is operated outside allowed temperature range.
If the air conditioner runs in COOLING or DRY mode with door or window opened for a long time when relative humidity is above 80%, dew may drip down from the outlet.

Noise pollution

• Install the air conditioner at a place that can bear its weight and ensure the quiet operation.
• Install the outdoor unit at a place where the air discharged and the operation noise would not annoy your neighbors.
• Do not place any obstacles in front of the air outlet of the outdoor unit lest it increases the noise level.

Features of protector

1. The protective device will work at following cases.
   • Restarting the unit at once after operation stops or changing mode during operation, please wait for 3 minutes.
   • Connect to power supply and turn on the unit at once, it may start 20 seconds later.

2. •  If all operation has stopped, press ON/OFF button again to restart, Timer should be set again if it has been canceled.

Features of HEATING mode

Preheating
At the beginning of HEATING operation, the airflow from indoor unit is discharged 2-5 minutes later.
Defrosting
During HEATING operation the appliance will defrost automatically to improve efficiency. This procedure usually lasts for 2-10 minutes. During defrosting, fans stop operation. After defrosting completes, it returns to “HEATING” mode automatically.

It is hard to increase the room temperature when outdoor temperature is very low. It might take longer time if the working temperature range not closer to the operation limits.
Heating is NOT available for cooling only air conditioner models.

Trouble Shooting

The following cases may not always be a problem, please check it before asking for service.

•  If the leakage breaker trips.
•  If the plug loosened.
•  Sometimes it stops working to protect the appliance.
Not cool or warm enough | •  Is the air filter dirty?
•  Are the intakes and outlets of the air conditioner blocked?
• Is the temperature set properly ?
Ineffective control | • If strong interference (from excessive static electricity discharge, power  supply voltage abnormality)presents, sometimes operation will  be affected. In this case, switch off the breaker and switch on it again  2~3 seconds later.
Does not operate immediately | •  Shifting to other modes during operation, wait 3 minutes to start.
Peculiar odor | • Odor may come from sources such as furniture or cigarette and blown out by the unit.
A sound of running-water | • Caudsed by the‘flow of refrigerant inside the air conditioner, not a  failure.
A”pi-pa” sound can be heard | •  Caused by the expansion or contraction of the internal components  due to temperature changes.
That is not a failure.
Blow mist from the outlet | •  Room air is cooled down by the cold air blown out from the unit and  mist thus form during “COOLING” or “DRY” mode when humidity is too  high inside.

Air exhaust

Air and moisture remains inside the refrigeration system, may has the following bad effects:

• Rise of pressure inside the refrigeration system;
• Decrease of cooling (or heating) effect;
• Moisture frozen and blocking the refrigeration system;
• Rusting of certain parts of the system

After connecting the indoor and outdoor units, it is necessary to exhaust the air inside the pipes completely as follows:

Air exhaust process:

1. Unscrew and remove caps from the stop valves.
2. Connect vacuum pump flexible hose to the service valve.
3. Start vacuum pump for 10-15 minutes until reaching a vacuum of 10mmHg absolutes.
4. With vacuum pump still running close the low pressure knob on vacuum pump manifold. Then stop vacuum pump.
5. Open 2-way valve 1/4 turn then close it after 10 seconds. Check tightness of all joints using liquid soap or an electronic leak detector.
6. Turn 2 and 3-way valves stem to fully the valves. Disconnect vacuum pump flexible hose.
7. Replace and tighten all valve caps.
   After exhausting, use electronic leakage detector or soapsuds to check all pipe connecting portions of outdoor and indoor units.

Charge additional refrigerant

The refrigerant charge volume for the unit is based on using a 5m connecting pipe. If the connecting pipe’s length is longer than 5m, it is advisable to charge additional refrigerant for the unit in order to achieve better operation.

Model
Capacity(Btu/h)| Additional Refrigerant
---|---
18K| (L5)X0.015 kg
24K/30K/36K| (L-5)X0.035 kg

(* “L” refers to length of connection pipe.)

The additional Refrigerant should be charged from the service port of the 3-way valve when the appliance is operating in cooling mode.
Do not allow air enter the refrigeration system while charging Refrigerant.

Drainage arrangement

• Arrange the drainage pipe from wall to outdoor.
• Slide down the drainage pipe for easy drainage.
• Connect the attached drain hose to indoor drainage pipe and stick them well to prevent condensate from leaking.
• Wrap the indoor part of drainage pipe with thermal insulation material.

Wrap the piping

• Wrap the connecting pipes and cables together with tape, but not including the drainage pipe. Drainage pipe can be fixed along them separately.
• Wrapping from the joint of outdoor unit to that of indoor unit, each round of tape should cover half of its previous one.

Wiring connection

1. Important notice
   • It is the user’s responsibility to make external wiring connection be finished correctly.
   •  The external wiring must be conducted by a licensed electrician and complies with local codes or ordinances.
   •  Special attention must be paid to the power supply (as per rating plate).
   •  The Suitable power supply of your appliance has been shown on rating label.
   •  The appliance must ground correctly. The earth wire should be prepared by user.
   •  Never change the internal wiring of your appliance randomly.

2. Steps of external wiring connection

5. Electrical work
   Make sure that the color of wires of the outdoor unit and the terminal No. are the same as those of the indoor unit.
   If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

Test run

Before testing
a. Check if piping, drainage and external wiring have been finished correctly.
b. Check if the power supply complies with requirements; if there is refrigerant leakage; if the all wires and cables are correctly connected and well fixed.
Function test
a. After checking, energize your appliance and press the buttons on the control panel to see if the buttons function;
b. If screen displays normally.

Notes

• Please read this operating and installation instructions carefully.
• Do not let air in or refrigerant out during installing or reinstalling the appliance.
• Test run the air conditioner after finishing installation and keep the record.
• The air conditioner operates safely when ambient static pressure is 0.8~1.05 standard atmosphere pressure.
• When charging refrigerant into the system, make sure to charge in liquid state.
• Otherwise, chemical composition of refrigerant inside the system may change and thus affect performance of the air conditioner.
• The circuit of fastness connecting to the user must have all poles broken device (contact clearance is 3mm).
