• The thermostat can switch between heating and cooling modes based on the set temperature and the current room temperature.

Operating Modes:

• Heating Mode: When the ambient temperature falls below the set temperature, the unit will activate heating.
• Cooling Mode: When the ambient temperature rises above the set temperature, the unit will activate cooling.
• Fan Only Mode: The fan can operate independently without heating or cooling, providing air circulation.
• Automatic Mode: The unit automatically selects heating or cooling based on the set temperature and current room conditions.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your Aermec Omnia UL 36 C unit. Always disconnect power before performing any maintenance.

Fan Cleaning:

Periodically clean the fan blades to prevent dust accumulation, which can reduce efficiency and increase noise. Use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner to gently remove dust. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.

Condensate Tray Cleaning:

During cooling operation, condensation collects in the tray. Regularly inspect and clean the condensate tray to prevent mold growth and blockages. A DSC display accessory is available for monitoring the condensate tray.

Air Filter Cleaning:

The air filter should be cleaned regularly, typically every 2-4 weeks depending on usage and air quality. Remove the filter, wash it with mild soap and water, rinse thoroughly, and allow it to dry completely before reinserting. Do not operate the unit without the filter.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Aermec Omnia UL 36 C, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Unit not turning on: Check if the unit is properly plugged into a power outlet. Verify the circuit breaker has not tripped. Ensure the thermostat is set to an active mode (heating or cooling) and the desired temperature is correctly set.
• Insufficient heating/cooling: Check if the air filter is clean. Ensure there are no obstructions to the air intake or outlet. Verify the thermostat settings are appropriate for the desired temperature. Check water flow to the unit.
• Unusual noise: Ensure the unit is installed on a stable, level surface. Check for any loose components or debris in the fan area. If the noise persists, contact a qualified technician.
• Water leakage: Inspect hydraulic connections for leaks. Check the condensate drain line for blockages or disconnections.
