After powering on, or a restart, there is a three minute delay before the compressor starts to operate. This helps to prolong the life of the compressor.

The PRO-ELEC PELL0061 has two drainage methods: manual drainage and continuous drainage.

Manual Drainage

• The air conditioner has an internal water tank to collect water that accumulates during the cooling process. This tank will need to be emptied periodically.

• When the internal water tank is full the air conditioner will go into standby mode, the compressor will stop and all the key functions will be disabled. The water tank will need to be emptied before normal operation can be resumed.

• Unplug the air conditioner from the mains supply.

• Place a shallow container under the drainage outlet on the rear of the unit to collect the water. Use this only for temporary drainage of the unit. Do not allow the water to drip continuously into the container, as it will overflow.

• Remove the plug cap and the drainage plug to drain the tank.

• When the tank is empty, refit the drainage plug and cap.

• Reconnect the air conditioner to the mains supply and press the POWER button on either the front panel or the remote control. The air conditioner will restart and operate normally.

Continuous Drainage

• Remove the upper plug cap and the drainage plug and attach the drain hose to the outlet and place the open end into a larger fluid container.

• In dehumidifying mode this will allow longer operation without the frequent standby and manual draining of the water as a larger container can be used.

• The water level will need monitoring to avoid overflow, unless the pipe can be placed into a waste water drain.

NOTE: the whole pipe length must at any point be higher than the output or it will not drain.

Important: In order to avoid an electric shock, power-off the air conditioner and disconnect the mains plug before performing any maintenance or repair activities.

Cleaning

• Unplug from the mains supply before cleaning.

• Do not splash water into the air conditioner.

• Clean the outside of the air conditioner with a damp, not wet, cloth and dry thoroughly before using.

• Do not use any chemicals, abrasives or solvents, which may damage the surface of the air conditioner.

Filters

Clean the filters every two weeks. If the filters become blocked by dust, the efficiency of the air conditioner will be reduced.

• Remove the air filters on the rear of the unit.

• Run a vacuum cleaner lightly over the surface of the filters to remove dust.

• If the filters are exceptionally dirty wash them in warm water and a mild detergent and allow to dry thoroughly before refitting.

Note: Do not operate the air conditioner without the filters.

Seasonal Cleaning

If the air conditioner is not going to be used for a long time, please follow the steps below:

• Unplug the air conditioner from the mains.

• Remove the drainage plug and empty the internal water tank.

• Plug the air conditioner into the mains and power on. Select the fan mode and run for two hours to allow the air conditioner to dry out.

• Turn off and unplug from the mains.

• Clean and dry the filters and then reinstall them.

• Remove the batteries from the remote control.

• Put the air conditioner back in its original carton and store in a cool, dry place.

Long term storage

• Unscrew the drainage cover, unplug the water plug, and discharge the water in the water pan into other water containers or directly tilt the body to discharge the water into other containers.

• Plug the air conditioner into the mains and power on. Select the fan mode and run for two hours to allow the air conditioner to dry out so as to keep the inside of the body in a dry state and prevent mildew.

• Turn off the machine, unplug the mains plug, and wrap the power cord around the cable storage and install the drain plug and the drainage cover.

• Remove the exhaust pipe and keep it safely.

• Cover the appliance with a plastic bag. Store in a dry place, keep it out of the reach of children, and take dust control measures.

• Remove the batteries from the remote control.

The following information is for competent persons undertaking servicing involving flammable refrigerants.

Information on servicing

• Checks to the work area: Prior to beginning work on systems containing flammable refrigerants, safety checks are necessary to ensure that the risk of ignition is minimised.

• Work procedure: Work shall be undertaken under a controlled procedure so as to minimise the risk of a flammable gas or vapour being present while the work is being performed.

• General work area: All maintenance staff and others working in the local area shall be instructed on the nature of work being carried out. Work in confined spaces shall be avoided. Ensure that the conditions within the area have been made safe by control of flammable material.

• Checking for presence of refrigerant: The area shall be checked with an appropriate refrigerant detector prior to and during work. Ensure the leak detection equipment is suitable for use with flammable refrigerants, i.e. non-sparking, adequately sealed or intrinsically safe.

• Presence of fire extinguisher: If any hot work is to be conducted, appropriate fire extinguishing equipment shall be available. Have a dry powder or CO2 fire extinguisher adjacent to the charging area.

• No ignition sources: All possible ignition sources, including cigarette smoking, should be kept sufficiently far away from the site of installation, repairing, removing and disposal. “No Smoking” signs shall be displayed.

• Ventilated area: Ensure that the area is in the open or that it is adequately ventilated before breaking into the system or conducting any hot work.

Checks to electrical devices

• Repair and maintenance to electrical components shall include initial safety checks and component inspection procedures. If a fault exists, no electrical supply shall be connected until it is dealt with.

• Initial safety checks shall include: that capacitors are discharged safely; that no live electrical components and wiring are exposed while charging, recovering or purging; and that there is continuity of earth bonding.

Leak detection methods

• Under no circumstances shall potential sources of ignition be used in the searching for or detection of refrigerant leaks. A halide torch (or any other detector using a naked flame) shall not be used.

• Electronic leak detectors shall be used to detect flammable refrigerants, but the sensitivity may not be adequate, or may need re-calibration. (Detection equipment shall be calibrated in a refrigerant-free area).

• If a leak is suspected, all naked flames shall be removed/extinguished. If a leakage of refrigerant is found which requires brazing, all of the refrigerant shall be recovered from the system, or isolated.

Removal and evacuation

• When breaking into the refrigerant circuit to make repairs, best practice must be followed. The procedure is: 1. Remove refrigerant. 2. Purge the circuit with inert gas. 3. Evacuate. 4. Purge again with inert gas. 5. Open the circuit by cutting or brazing.

• The refrigerant charge shall be recovered into the correct recovery cylinders. The system shall be “flushed” with OFN to render the unit safe.

Charging procedures

• Ensure that contamination of different refrigerants does not occur when using charging equipment. Hoses or lines shall be as short as possible.

• Cylinders shall be kept upright.

• Ensure that the refrigeration system is earthed prior to charging.

• Label the system when charging is complete (if not already).

• Extreme care shall be taken not to overfill the refrigeration system.

• The system shall be leak tested on completion of charging but prior to commissioning.

Decommissioning

• Before carrying out this procedure, it is essential that the technician is completely familiar with the equipment and all its detail. It is recommended good practice that all refrigerants are recovered safely.

• Ensure mechanical handling equipment is available for refrigerant cylinders, and all personal protective equipment is available and being used correctly.

• Do not overfill cylinders (No more than 80% volume liquid charge).

Recovery

• When removing refrigerant, it is recommended good practice that all refrigerants are removed safely.

• Use only appropriate refrigerant recovery cylinders. Ensure they are designated and labelled for the recovered refrigerant.

• The recovery equipment shall be in good working order with a set of calibrated weighing scales available.
