Your AUFIT air conditioner features advanced technologies designed for comfort and efficiency, including 4D airflow, an LED display, quiet operation, and energy-saving modes.
Setup and Installation
Important: Installation of this air conditioning unit requires specialized skills and tools. It is strongly recommended that installation be performed by a qualified and certified professional to ensure proper function, safety, and warranty validity.
Components Overview
The AUFIT Split Air Conditioner system consists of two main units: an indoor unit and an outdoor unit.
Figure 1: AUFIT Indoor Unit. This unit is installed inside the room and is responsible for air distribution.
Figure 2: AUFIT Outdoor Unit. This unit is installed outside and houses the compressor and condenser.
Pre-Installation Checks
- Ensure the installation location for both units is structurally sound and can support their weight.
- Verify that the electrical supply meets the unit's requirements (220V).
- Ensure proper drainage for condensate water from the indoor unit.

- Fan Speed: Press the SPEED button to adjust the fan speed (Auto, Low, Medium, High).
Advanced Features
- 4D Airflow (Vento 4D): This feature provides multidirectional airflow (up, down, left, right) using two step motors, ensuring even temperature distribution and preventing direct drafts. Activate or adjust using the SWING buttons (vertical and horizontal).
- Quiet Mode (MACIO): Reduces operational noise for a peaceful environment, ideal for sleeping. Select this mode via the remote control.
- Energy Saving Mode: Automatically adjusts the compressor frequency based on real-time temperature differences to optimize energy consumption.
- Sleep Mode (MODO DE SUSPENSÃO): Adjusts temperature settings gradually during sleep to save energy and maintain comfort.
- Rapid Cooling/Heating: The high-frequency compressor starts instantly to achieve desired temperatures faster.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficient operation of your air conditioner.
Filter Cleaning
The air filters in the indoor unit should be cleaned regularly (e.g., every two weeks or monthly, depending on usage and air quality). Dirty filters can reduce cooling efficiency and airflow.
- Turn off the air conditioner and disconnect power.
- Open the front panel of the indoor unit.
- Remove the air filters.
- Clean the filters with a vacuum cleaner or wash them with lukewarm water and mild detergent.
- Allow filters to dry completely before reinstalling.
- Close the front panel.
Gold Fin Condenser
Your AUFIT outdoor unit is equipped with a Gold Fin condenser, which offers enhanced corrosion and oxidation resistance compared to conventional blue fin condensers. While this reduces maintenance needs, periodic inspection for debris and professional cleaning is still recommended.
PCB Direct Extraction
The indoor unit's main control board (PCB) is designed for direct extraction, simplifying maintenance and repair procedures for qualified technicians.
Troubleshooting
Before contacting customer support, please check the following common issues:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Unit does not turn on | No power supply; Remote control batteries depleted | Check power connection and circuit breaker; Replace remote control batteries. |
