INTRODUCTION & SAFETY

Congratulations on purchasing a new Braemar Air Conditioner!
Please keep this Manual and the Warranty Booklet in a safe place, along with the original purchase documents, plus all relevant certificates of compliance relating to the installation work performed.
Please register the Warranty straight away, by following the steps set out in the Warranty Booklet.
The installer must read the Installation Manual before installing the Braemar Cassette Inverter Air Conditioning Unit. The home owner/ user should read the Owner’s Manual before operating the Unit.
To ensure the warranty on the Unit is continued and valid, the Unit must be checked and serviced by a Qualified Licensed Technician as per the requirements in the Maintenance & Service section and the Maintenance Schedule. This will also prolong the life of your air conditioner.
The home owner/user should regularly check the Air Inlet side of the Outdoor unit (see the diagram on page 2) to ensure grass, leaf and  other matter are not drawn into or onto the Inlet side of the Outdoor unit. Restriction to the air flow across the coil will reduce the system’s capacity, and result in high operation pressures and excessive operating costs.
The air filter should be inspected and cleaned at least every two months when the Braemar Cassette Air Conditioning Unit is used.

MAINTENANCE & SERVICE

SAFETY
Always isolate power for the air conditioner from electricity mains before cleaning or maintenance.
AIR FILTER
It is important to check and clean the air filter as per the Maintenance Schedule. A dirty air filter will not allow the correct amount of clean air to pass through your air conditioner, resulting in poor performance and increased running costs. Please follow the below steps:-

1. Release the central air inlet grille.
   a. Screws secure the cover in place.
   These are located in one of two positions (model specific).
   -In the corners of the grille -Under screw covers located on the panel (pull the two screw covers up to remove the screws). Remove the screws and set aside for reinsertion later.
   b. Push the fasteners to unlock the grille from the fascia.

2. Disassemble the grille by pulling down to 45° angle and unclipping from the fascia.

3. Remove the filter mesh. Clean the filter mesh by vacuuming or washing under running water (no warmer than 45°C). Use a mixture of mild detergent and water if the filter has grease or oil buildup. Dry in the shade.

NOTE: Always ensure the filter is dry and in place prior to operating the air conditioner.

INDOOR COIL
It is advisable to have the fan and drain pump checked on an annual basis (as set out in the Maintenance Schedule overleaf). Drains can become blocked by all types of insects, and rats have been known to chew through the drain to get to the water in the pipe.
OUTDOOR UNIT
The Outdoor unit has either one or two fans, it draws air through the appliance to expel the heat generated during the cooling cycle.
We recommend checking that plants haven’t grown into or around the air intake or outlet, along with other debris that may build up over time, namely, leaves and the like.
REFRIGERANT
The refrigerant is the life blood of your air conditioning unit. Not only does the correct refrigerant charge provide you with reliable and economical cooling, it also provides the cooling for the compressor. A lack of refrigerant, due to a leak, will cause the  compressor to overheat and expire prematurely. You will notice a decline in cooling effect and an increase in power consumption.
Therefore, having a qualified, licensed technician service your air conditioner will save you money in the long term.

PLEASE REFER TO THE NEXT PAGE FOR THE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE.

OPERATION TIPS

The following events may occur during normal operation:

1. Protection of the air conditioner.
   Compressor protection
   • The compressor cannot restart for 3 minutes after it stops.
   • The supply air drops below a pre-determined set point; this prevents the indoor coil from freezing.
   2. A white mist coming out from the Indoor unit.
   • A white mist may generate due to a large temperature difference between air inlet and air outlet on COOL mode in an indoor environment that has a high relative humidity.
   3. Low noise of the air conditioner.
   • You may hear a low hissing sound when the compressor is running or has just stopped running.
   This sound is the sound of the refrigerant flowing or coming to a stop.
   • You can 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 in the Unit when the temperature is changing.
   4. Dust is blown out from the Indoor unit.
   This is a normal condition when the air conditioner has not been used for a long time or during first use of the Unit.
   5. A peculiar smell comes out from the Indoor unit.
   This is caused by the Indoor unit giving off smells permeated from building material, from furniture, smoke (for example if someone is cooking food), or from the duct work.
   6. FAN operation during COOL mode.
   When indoor air temperature reaches the setting on the wired wall control, the compressor will stop operating and after approximately 60 seconds the indoor fan will stop blowing air. When the room temperature rises back to the set point, the indoor fan and the compressor will start again.

TROUBLESHOOTING

1.2 Fuse blown or circuit breaker open.
1.3 Thermostat adjustment too low (in heating mode) or too high (in cooling mode).| 1.1 Wait for power to resume.
1.2 Replace the fuse or reset the breaker.
1.3 Check thermostat setting.
2. There is insufficient cooling.| 2.1 The room was probably very hot when you started the system.| 2.1 Wait a while so the Unit has enough time to cool the room.
3. ‘Clicking’ sound is heard from the air conditioner.| 3.1 In heating or cooling operation any plastic parts may expand or shrink due to a sudden temperature change in this event, a clicking sound may occur.| 3.1 This is normal.
4. SET temperature can’t be adjusted.| 4.1 Unit is operating in AUTO mode.
4.2 The required SET temperature is outside of the allowable range.| 4.1 Temperature cannot be set in AUTO mode.
4.2 SET temperature range is 16-30°C
5. Cooler is not operating at full power, or at all.| 5.1 For residences with a Smart Meter, DRED (Demand Response energy saving) mode has been activated by the Electricity Supplier. codes ‘dl’, ‘d2’ or ‘d3’ are shown in the controller display.| **** 5.1 This is not an air-conditioner fault, but a requirement from your Electricity Supplier. DRED mode will stop when the power grid demands are reduced.
