ELECTRIQ P12C (01) PDF SUMMARY:

What are the safety instructions I should follow before operating the unit?

Carefully read the instructions before operating the unit. This appliance is for indoor use only. The unit must be connected to a 220-240 V / 50 Hz earthed outlet. Installation must be in accordance with the regulations of the country where the unit is used. If you are in any doubt about the suitability of your electrical supply, have it checked and modified by a qualified electrician. Disconnect the power plug from the socket before dismantling, assembling, or cleaning. Avoid touching any moving parts within the appliance. Never insert fingers, pencils, or any other objects though the guard. Do not clean the unit by spraying it or immersing it in water. Never connect the unit to an electrical outlet using an extension cord. Never operate this appliance if the cord or plug is damaged. Ensure the power cord is not stretched or exposed to sharp objects/edges. The power cord must not be immersed in water, as this could result in electric shock. A damaged supply cord should be replaced by the manufacturer or a qualified electrician in order to avoid a hazard. When defrosting and cleaning the appliance, only use tools recommended by the manufacturer. The air conditioner unit must always be stored and transported upright, otherwise irreparable damage may be caused to the compressor. Avoid restarting the air conditioning unit unless 3 minutes have passed since being turned off to prevent damage to the compressor. Never use the mains plug or an external timer as a switch to start and stop the air conditioning unit. Always place the unit on a dry and stable surface. The appliance should not be installed in laundry or wet rooms. The appliance must be placed in a room without sources of ignition. Do not use or store in unventilated spaces with an area smaller than 10.1 m2 per unit. Do not open the air conditioner to attempt service or repair the unit. The refrigerant system should not be perforated or punctured. Do not cover or restrict the airflow from the outlet or inlet grills. For maximum performance, the air conditioner should be situated at least 50cm from the walls or other objects. The unit should only be used when the room temperature is between 7°C and 35°C.

How do I install the unit?

Keep the unit upright for at least 3-4 hours before using it. The unit should always be kept upright and placed on an even surface. Assemble the fishtail connector onto the hose. Assemble the exhaust hose. Extend one head of the hose and screw it into the assembled adaptor at the back of the unit anti-clockwise. It should take no less than three rotations to screw it into place. Partially open the window and fix the window kit to the window. Make sure the unit is upright and there are no obstructions to the air inlets and outlet grill. The unit should be positioned at least 50cm away from walls or other objects within the room. Fix the other end of the hose to the air-outlet window kit. The window kit is only designed to be installed with sliding or sash windows or doors. The fish tail adaptor can be used with most windows / doors. When using the cooling mode ensure that the opening left is as small as possible. The best form of installation is through a wall duct. The unit will need to be vented out in heating mode, ideally through the wall.

---

What are the important safeguards during installation?

The length of the soft hose extends from 28 cm to 150 cm. If the hose is extended above this length the unit may malfunction and this can invalidate the warranty. The outlet vent must be well ventilated and not obstructed as this will cause the unit to overheat. Avoid bending the air hose more than 30 degrees.

Under Heating Mode (P12HPW Only), after one hour the set temperature will decrease by 1 degree Celsius, after another hour the set temperature will decrease by another degree, and will then remain set at that temperature. Sleep mode cannot be used in dehumidifying and fan mode. If the internal tank becomes full, the machine will enter standby and sleep mode will be cancelled.

---

What does the WF indicator mean?

When illuminated, this indicates that the internal water tank is full and requires emptying, following the information provided in the water drainage section.

---

What does the WIFI indicator mean?

When illuminated, this indicates that the unit is connected to wifi. When flashing, it indicates the unit is ready to connect to WIFI. Flashing twice per second means the unit is in normal connection mode, and flashing once every two seconds indicates the unit is in AP connection mode. To turn the WIFI function on or change between the modes, hold the fan speed button for 5 seconds.

---

How do I connect the air conditioner to WIFI?

---

How do I perform manual drainage?

1. When the internal water tank is full the unit will stop working and display the message “E2” on the display.
2. Shut off the unit and unplug. Try not to move the model abruptly as this may cause water to spill out from the internal water tank.
3. Place a tray under the water plug.
4. Screw off the water plug and unplug the water blocker – water will drain from the container.
5. Put the water blocker back and screw the water plug back into place.

---

How do I perform continuous drainage?

1. Screw off the water plug and unplug the water blocker.
2. Use a water pipe to connect to the water outlet.
3. You can plumb this pipe into your current plumbing system, lead it outside, or use a water pump.

---

What should I consider when using continuous drainage?

This model has a self-evaporative function, which reduces the need to empty the water tank. If the unit is vented correctly most of the water is reused to cool the condenser coils and any excess is evaporated. Do not use continuous drainage if you intend to use the self-evaporating facility. In heating or dehumidifier mode you may need to use the permanent drainage.

---

What should I do before cleaning or performing any maintenance?

Shut off the unit and unplug from the mains before cleaning or performing any maintenance.

---

How do I clean the surface?

Clean the plastic housing with a duster or a soft wet cloth. Do not use chemical solvents as they may cause irreversible damage.

---

How do I clean the air filter?

1. Clean the air filters every 2 weeks. If the air filter is blocked with dust, the unit’s performance will be significantly affected.
2. Disconnect the power plug from the socket before dismantling, assembling, or cleaning.
3. Open the air filter covers and remove the carbon (if installed) and washable mesh filter.
4. Hoover gently the carbon filter and do not wash.
5. Wash the mesh air filters by immersing them in warm (about 40℃) water with a neutral detergent.
6. Rinse it and then dry it thoroughly.
7. Carefully re-install air filters back into their cover. The optional active carbon filter (cloth) should be replaced every 3-6 months based on the environment.

---

What is the end of season maintenance?

1. Pull out the plug from the drainage hole and empty the internal tank. You can also drain the water by leaning the unit.
2. Switch the unit to low fan mode.
3. Keep the unit in this mode for half a day until the conduit is dried. Doing this helps to keep the inside of the unit dry and prevents mold from developing.
4. Turn off the unit and pull out the plug.
5. Coil the wire and bind it together, then put it into the accessories space.
6. Separate the air-exhausted pipe and store it safely.
7. Cover the unit and keep it in a dry place.
8. Take the batteries out of the remote control and store or dispose of them safely. Keep all accessories with the unit ready for next season.
