What should I look for first when purchasing a portable air conditioner?

The right air conditioner helps you cool a room efficiently. An undersized unit won’t cool adequately while one that’s too large will not remove enough humidity, leaving the air feeling damp. To find the proper air conditioner, determine the square footage of the room you want to cool by multiplying the room length by its width. You also need to know the air conditioner’s BTU (British Thermal Unit) rating, which indicates the amount of heat it can remove from a room. A higher Why is the cooling capacity lower on newer models than on older units? the number means more cooling power for a larger room. (Be sure you are comparing only newer models to each other- older models may appear to have a higher capacity, but are actually the same). Be sure to “size up” if your portable air conditioner will be placed in a very sunny room, in a kitchen, or in a room with high ceilings. After you’ve found the right cooling capacity for your room, you can look at other features.

Why is the cooling capacity lower on newer models than on older units?

Federal regulations require manufacturers to calculate cooling capacity based on a specific test procedure, which was changed just this year. Models manufactured before 2017  were tested under a different procedure and cooling capacity is measured differently than in prior years models. So, while the BTUs may be lower, the actual cooling capacity of the air conditioners has not changed.

What is SACC?
SACC is the representative value of Seasonally Adjusted Cooling Capacity, in Btu/h, as determined in accordance with the DOE test procedure at title 10 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 430, subpart B, appendix CC, and applicable sampling plans.

  6. Dry thoroughly before re-inserting the filters.
    NOTE: The activated carbon filter and HEPA filters are not washable. They are optional filters and should be replaced every 2-3 months or as needed if used.
    • Please contact support@whynter.com for retail sales information or visit whynter.com for a list of optional accessories

Unit Cleaning

  • Always switch off the air conditioner and disconnect the plug from the power supply outlet before cleaning the air conditioner.
  • Use a soft damp cloth to wipe the body of the unit.
  • Never use harsh chemicals, oil-based products, detergents, chemically treated cloths, or other cleaning solutions. These could possibly damage the body of the air conditioner.

End of Season Storage
This portable air conditioner comes with one end of season storage cover.

  • Switch off the air conditioner and disconnect the power plug from the power supply outlet before cleaning the air conditioner.
  • Clean the pre-filter.
  • Drain the condensed water completely.
  • On a warm day, set the unit to Fan only mode for half a day to dry the unit internally.
  • Gather the power cord and bundle it.
  • Remove the batteries from the remote.
  • If leaving the window kit in place, disconnect the exhaust and intake hose from the window slider kit and place the included covers on the kit. Otherwise, remove the window kit from the window opening.
    Note: Depending on use, it is recommended that the air conditioner be cleaned internally annually. Please contact Whynter at support@whynter.com for internal maintenance cleaning instructions

Water Drainage

The air conditioner has the capacity to dehumidify up to 134 pints per day. The patented self evaporating function of the unit fully exhausts all condensation automatically in most environments when humidity is less than 70%. In areas with more than 70% humidity, the self-evaporating function can still exhaust about 98% of the moisture and the remaining 2% of moisture will be collected in the water tank of the air conditioner. When there is excess water condensation inside the unit, the air conditioner stops running and the TANK FULL indicator illuminates notifying that the water condensation needs to be drained.

  1. Turn off the unit.
  2. Carefully roll the unit to a drain location or position a flat container, dish, or optional drain bucket accessory (sold separately) under the drain area of the lower drain port.
  3. Remove the drain cover and rubber plug and the condensed water will drain out automatically.
  4. Once all the condensed water is drained, replace the drain rubber plug and cover into the drain firmly.
    Note: Please contact support@whynter.com for retail sales information or visit whynter.com for a list of optional accessories

Tips

  1. Keep the exhaust hose as short and straight as possible
    The exhaust hose removes heat from the room. It should remain as short and straight as possible without sharp bends or twists to maximize efficiency. If the exhaust hose must be extended, do not exceed 9′.

  2. Turn the air conditioner on early
    Turning the air conditioner on early instead of waiting until the hottest point of the day will allow the unit to be more effective. The air conditioner will not have to work as hard to cool the room down and maintain the set temperature.

  3. Reduce heat sources
    Direct sunlight, televisions, computers, and other heat-generating appliances work against the air conditioner by introducing heat into the space.
    • Close window curtains and blinds to keep direct sunlight out
    • Close doors and windows
    • Keep ovens and stoves off
    • Turn off unused lights
    • Add weather stripping around windows and doors

  4. Keep the air filter clean
    Regular cleaning will help keep your air conditioner working properly. Dusty filters and vents greatly reduce the airflow and efficiency of the unit.
    • Clean the washable pre-filter regularly
    • Replace the activated carbon filter and Help filter every XX depending on the use
    • Vacuum any accumulated dust from around all vents
