Electrolux Window Type Room Air Conditioner

Introduction

Our design is based on the best efficiency and the lowest noise operation and it can keep the room comfortable. Please read this operating manual carefully before operating the unit and keep it for consultation.

Structure Mechanism and Installation

Function

Window type room air conditioners can regulate the room temperature and dry the room. It is convenient for your work, study, and life. It can be widely used in residence, shop, hotel, office, library, and laboratory, and so on.

• Cooling in summer: In hot summer, the air conditioner can cool down the room air by transferring heat out. (Diagram: Person sleeping comfortably, air conditioner cooling the room, heat transferred out.)
• Dehumidifying in rainy or humid season: Without reducing the room temperature, the air conditioner can dehumidify and make the room air dry and comfortable. (Diagram: Air conditioner with 'Dry' symbol, removing moisture.)
• Heating in winter (Only for heat unit): In cold winter, the air conditioner can heat up room air. (Diagram: Air conditioner heating a room in winter, with snowflakes.)
• Exchange fresh air: Open storm door to keep the fresh air in the room. (Diagram: Air conditioner bringing 'Fresh Air' into the room.)

Operating Condition

Please operate the air conditioner in the correct conditions as follows:

• COOL mode operation: Outdoor temperature should be in the range of 18°C to 43°C, otherwise, it is possible for the air conditioner to break down. Room humidity should be lower than 90%. Otherwise, it is possible for the air conditioner to dew at the surface and even drop water after running for a long time. This is normal.
• DRY mode operation: Outdoor temperature should be in the range of 18°C to 43°C, otherwise, it is possible for the air conditioner to break down.

Power Requirement

Rated voltage and voltage range: 220V~ ±10%

⚠️ The electric components will be damaged when the voltage is too high. If the voltage is too low, the compressor will vibrate violently, damaging the refrigerant system and causing components not to work.

The ground must be connected. A special socket must be used, conforming to wiring regulations, with a reliable earthing method. In a fixed circuit, there must be an electricity leakage protection switch of sufficient power capacity and an air switch with enough space.

Earth wire: To ensure reliable earthing, please do not connect the earth wire to the following places: Water pipe ? (Diagram: Water pipe with a crossed-out connection symbol for earth wire.)

Operation Tips

Operation for Comfort and Economy

• Do not overcool the room temperature. This is not good for health and wastes electricity.
• Keep blinds or curtains closed. Do not let sunshine enter the room directly when the air conditioner is in operation.
• Keep the room temperature uniform. Adjust the vertical and horizontal airflow direction to ensure a uniform temperature. Air should not be discharged towards the air intake.
• Make sure that the doors and windows are tightly closed. Avoid opening them as much as possible to maintain air conditioning in the room.
• Clean the air filter regularly. Blockages in the air filter reduce dehumidifying effects. Clean the air filter at least once every two weeks.
• Ventilate the room occasionally. Since windows are kept closed, it is a good idea to open them and ventilate the room now and then. When starting the unit, curtains or windows should be closed to prevent heat/cool leakage.

(Diagrams: Illustrate tips like avoiding overcooling, closing curtains, ensuring uniform temperature, closing windows, cleaning filters, and ventilating.)

Caution

Operations for Safety and Health

• 1. The plug must be accessible after the appliance is positioned.
• 2. Do not use this appliance in the laundry.
• 3. If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or a qualified person to avoid a hazard.

• Do not pull out the power cord. Damage to the cord may result in serious electric shocks.
• Do not use the air conditioner for purposes other than cooling the room, such as drying clothes, preserving foods, or cultivating vegetables.
• Do not block the air intake and outlet vents. This causes lowered performance and irregular operation. Do not insert sticks or other objects into these vents, as it is dangerous to touch electric components and the fan.

• Select the most appropriate temperature. Adjust the temperature to suit conditions. Rooms occupied by infants, the elderly, or the sick should be kept at an appropriate temperature.
• Do not use heating apparatuses in the vicinity. The air conditioner's plastic parts will melt if exposed to excessive heat.
• Avoid exposing the body directly to a continuous unidirectional airflow for long periods. This is not recommended for health reasons.

Always wait at least 3 minutes before switching the air conditioner on again after you have switched it off during cooling or heating.

(Diagrams: Illustrate safety cautions like unplugging, not blocking vents, and waiting before restart.)
