Check whether the overheating protection of the compressor has tripped. Disconnect the device from the mains and let it cool down for approx. 10 minutes before reconnecting it.

The compressor may start up with a delay of 3 minutes, as it is provided with an internal protection against direct restart.

Activities before maintenance:

Switch the device off.

Disconnect the device from the mains by removing the mains plug from the socket. Hold the plug, not the cable.

Cleaning the housing:

Clean the housing with a soft, damp and lint-free cloth. Ensure no moisture enters the housing. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents.

Cleaning the air filter:

The air filter should be cleaned as soon as it is dirty.

1. Remove the air filter (12) from the device.

2. Clean the filter using a slightly damp, soft, lint-free cloth. If heavily contaminated, clean it with warm water mixed with a neutral cleaning agent.

3. Allow the filter to dry completely. Do not put a wet filter into the device.

4. Reinsert the air filter into the device.

Condensate discharge (manual draining):

If the error code FL appears, too much condensate has collected in the external unit.

1. Unplug the rubber stopper from the condensate outlet (4) at the rear of the external unit to drain the condensate.

2. You can fasten the condensation drain hose to the outlet to drain the condensate in a directed fashion. The condensate will then drain off automatically when it collects.

3. Insert the rubber stopper back into the outlet and ensure it fits tightly to prevent water leakage.

Always dispose of packing materials in an environmentally friendly manner and in accordance with the applicable local disposal regulations.

The TROTEC PAC-C 1500 S must not be disposed of with household waste. It should be taken to a collection point for the free return of waste electrical and electronic equipment. You can obtain addresses from your municipality or local administration.

The separate collection of waste electrical and electronic equipment aims to enable re-use, recycling, and other forms of recovery, and to prevent negative effects on the environment and human health.

Have the refrigerant (propane) disposed of appropriately and according to national regulations by a company with the relevant certification (European Waste Catalogue 160504).
