Air Purging & Test Operation

Note:
Connective pipe length will affect the capacity and energy efficiency of the unit. The nominal efficiency is tested based on the pipe length of 5 meters.

Air Purging

  • The indoor unit and tubing between the indoor and outdoor unit must be leak tested and evacuated to remove any non-condensable moisture from the system.
  • Check that each tube (both liquid and gas side tubes) between the indoor and outdoor units has been properly connected and all wiring for the test run has been completed.
  • Pipe length and refrigerant amount:

Connective pipe length| Air purging method| Additional amount of refrigerant to be charged
---|---|---
Less than Sm| Vacuum pump|
More than Sm| Vacuum pump| Liquid side: 6.35mm

R22: (Pipe length-5)x30g/m R410A: (Pipe length-5)x20g/m

| Liquid side: 9.52mm

R22: (Pipe length-5)x60g/m R410A: (Pipe length-5)x40g/m

  • For the R410A refrigerant model, make sure the refrigerant added to the air-conditioner is in liquid form.
  • When relocating the unit to another location, use a vacuum pump to perform the evacuation.

CAUTION

  • Open the valve stem until it hits the stopper. Do not try to open it further.
  • Securely tighten the valve stem cap with a spanner or the like.

Special Functions

Refrigerant Leakage Detection
With this new technology, the temperature display will show “EC” and the indication lamps will continue flashing when the outdoor unit detects refrigerant leakage.

SELF CLEAN function

  • The function used after the shutdown of cooling operations is to clean the evaporator and keep it fresh for the next use.
  • The unit will operate in the following sequence: FAN ONLY mode at low speed ➔ HEATING operation with LOW fan speed (applicable to cooling & heating modes) ➔ FAN ONLY operation ➔ Stop Operations ➔ Turn off.
  • This function is only available under COOL (AUTO COOL, MANUAL COOL) and DRY modes.
  • Before selecting this function, it is recommended that you run the air conditioner under Cooling operation for approximately half an hour. Once the self-cleaning function is activated, all TIMER settings will be canceled.
  • During the self-clean operation, pressing the SELF-CLEAN button on the remote control again will stop the operation and shut the unit off.

CLEAN AIR function
Improving the quality of indoor air is one of the purposes of the air- conditioner. This air-conditioner is equipped with an ionizer or plasma dust collector (depending on the model). With the anions generated by the ionizer, the air circulation of the air-conditioner fills the room with refreshing, natural healthy air. The plasma dust collector generates a high-voltage ionization zone, through which the air is converted into plasma. Inside this air, most dust, smoke and pollen particles are then captured by an electrostatic filter.

Anti-mildew function

  • When COOL, DRY, or AUTO modes are turned off, the air-conditioner will continue operating for about 7-10 minutes at LOW fan speed. If it turns off on HEAT mode, then the unit will continue operating for about 30 seconds and LOW fan speed. This will help to dry up any condensed water inside the evaporator and prevent the growth of mildew.
  • While in anti-mildew operation, do not restart the air-conditioner again until the unit has shut off completely.

Operating Temperature

Temperature| Cooling Operation| Heating Operation Drying Operation
---|---|---
Room Temperature| 17°C – 32°C| 0°c – 30°c                                 10°c – 32°c
Outdoor Temperature| 0°C – 50°C| -15°C – 30°C 0°C – 50°C

Note:
Optimum performance will be achieved within these operating temperatures. If the air-conditioner is used outside of the above conditions, certain safety protection features might come into operation which may cause the unit to function abnormally.

If the air conditioner runs for a long time in cooling mode and the humidity is high (over 80%), condensed air may drip out of the unit. Please set the vertical air louver to its maximum angle (vertical to the floor), and set HIGH fan mode.

Manual Operation
Units are equipped with a switch to run emergency operation modes. It can be accessed by opening the front panel. This switch is used for manual operation in case the remote controller fails to work, or maintenance is necessary.

Note:
The unit must be turned off before operating the manual control button. If the unit is operational, continue pressing the manual control button until the unit is off.

  1. Open and lift the front panel up to an angle until it remains fixed with a clicking sound.
  2. One press of the manual control switch will lead to the forced AUTO operation. If pressing the switch face within five seconds, the unit will operate under forced COOL operation.
  3. Close the panel firmly to its original position.

CAUTION

  • This switch is used for testing purposes only. Do not use it unless as a last resort.
  • To restore the remote controller operation, use the remote control directly.

Airflow Direction Control

  • Adjust the airflow direction properly, otherwise, it may cause discomfort or uneven room temperatures.
  • Adjust the horizontal louver using the remote control. Adjust the vertical louver manually.

Vertical (UP/DOWN) airflow
Perform this function while the unit is in operation. Use the remote control to adjust the airflow direction. The horizontal louver can be moved at a range of 6 for each press, or it can swing up and down automatically.

Horizontal (LEFT/RIGHT) airflow
Move the deflector rod manually to adjust the airflow to the direction that you prefer. Do not put your hands into the panel of the blow and suction side.

CAUTION

  • Do not operate the air conditioner for long periods with the airflow direction set downward in cooling or dehumidifying mode, as moisture may form on the horizontal louver, causing condensation to fall onto the floor or furnishings.
  • When the air conditioner has started immediately after being stopped, the horizontal louver may not move for up to 10 seconds.
  • The open angle of the louver should not be set too small, as the COOLING or HEATING function may be impaired or restricted.

How the Air Conditioner Works

AUTO operation

  • When you set the air-conditioner to AUTO mode, it will automatically select cooling, heating, or fan-only operation depending on the set temperature and the room temperature.
  • The air-conditioner will control the room temperature automatically to the temperature that you have previously set.
  • If you feel uncomfortable in AUTO mode, you can set it to your desired temperature.

SLEEP operation
When you press the SLEEP button on the remote control, the air conditioner will automatically increase (cooling) or decrease (heating) the temperature by l°C per hour for the next 2 hours, then hold steadily for the next 5 hours, after which it will turn off.

DRYING operation
The fan speed will be automatically controlled under dry operation. During the dry operation, if the room temperature is lower than l0C, the compressor will stop operation and will restart once the room temperature is back up above 12C.

Optimal operation
To achieve optimal performance, please note the following:

  • Adjust the airflow so it is not blowing directly at people.
  • Adjust the temperature to achieve the highest comfort level. Do not adjust the unit to excessive temperature levels.
  • Close doors and windows on COOL or HEAT modes, or performance may be reduced.
  • Use the TIMER ON button on the remote control to select the time you want to start your air-conditioner.
  • Do not put any objects near the air inlet or air outlet, as the efficiency of the air-conditioner may be reduced and the air-conditioner may stop running.
  • Clean the air filter periodically, otherwise cooling or heating performance may be reduced.
  • Do not operate the unit with the horizontal louver in the closed position.

Care and Maintenance

Before maintenance

  • Turn the system off before cleaning. To clean, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use bleach or abrasives.
  • NOTE: the power supply must be disconnected before cleaning the indoor unit.

CAUTION

  • A cloth dampened with cold water may be used on the indoor unit if it is very dirty. Then wipe it with a dry cloth.
  • Do not use a chemically treated cloth or duster to clean the unit.
  • Do not use benzine, thinner, polisher or similar solvents. These may cause the plastic to discolor, crack or deform.
  • Never use water hotter than 40°C to clean the front panel.

Cleaning the Air Filter
A clogged air filter reduces the cooling efficiency of the unit. Please clean the filter once every 2 weeks.

  1. Lift the indoor unit panel up until it stops with a click sound.
  2. Take hold of the handle of the air filter and lift it up slightly to take it out of the filter holder, then pull it downwards.
  3. Remote the AIR FILTER from the unit, then clean it with a vacuum and some cold water, then allow it to fully dry in a cool place.
  4. Insert the upper portion of the air filter back into the unit, taking care that the left and right edges line up correctly, then place the filter back into position.

Preparing for extended non-operation
If you plan on not using the air-conditioner for a long time, perform the following procedure:

  1. Clean the indoor unit and filters.
  2. Operate the fan for about half a day to ensure that the inside of the unit is completely dry.
  3. Stop the air-conditioner, then disconnect the power.
  4. Remove the batteries from the remote control.

Pre-season Inspection

  • Check that the wiring has not become broken, cracked or disconnected.
  • Clean the indoor unit and filters.
  • Check that the air filter is still installed properly.
  • Check that the air outlet and air inlets are all still unblocked.

Troubleshooting

Normal functions

Protection of the Air-conditioner Compressor protection

  • The compressor cannot restart again for 3-4 minutes after it has stopped.

Defrosting function

  • Frost may have been generated on the outdoor unit during the heat cycle when outdoor temperatures are low and humidity is high, resulting in lower heating efficiency of the air-conditioner.
  • During this, the air-conditioner may stop the heating operation and start defrosting automatically.
  • The time to defrost may last from 4 to 10 minutes, depending on the outdoor temperature and the amount of frost built up.

White mist coming from the indoor unit

  • A white mist may be generated due to large temperature differences between the air inlet and the air outlet on COOL mode in an indoor environment with a high relative humidity.
  • A white mist may be generated from the defrosting process when the air conditioner restarts in HEAT mode operation after defrosting.

Low noise of the air-conditioner

  • You may hear a low hissing sound when the compressor is running or has just stopped running. It is the sound of the refrigerant flowing or coming to a stop.
  • You may also hear a low “squeak” sound when the compressor is running or has just stopped running. This is caused by heat expansion and cold contraction of the plastic parts of the unit while the temperature is changing.
  • A noise may be heard due to the louver restoring to its original position when power is turned on.

Dust blowing out of the indoor unit

  • This is normal when the unit has not been used for a long time, and also upon first use of the unit.

The peculiar smell coming from the unit

  • This is most likely caused by the indoor unit blowing out smells from the furniture or smoke.

The air-conditioner turns to FAN only mode from COOL or HEAT mode
When the indoor temperature has reached the temperature set on the air conditioner, the compressor will stop automatically and the air-conditioner will turn to FAN-only mode. The compressor will start again when the indoor temperature either rises or falls above or below the set point.

The air-conditioner runs an anti-mildew function after turning off the unit
