Frequently Asked Questions - AMB12KM-410 Amcor

How do I install the air conditioner?

Place the unit near a window, attach the exhaust hose to the back of the unit, and extend the window kit to fit your window opening. Ensure the hose is not kinked and the window sash is securely closed. Refer to the installation section of the manual for detailed steps.

How often should I clean the filter?

The filter should be cleaned every two weeks under normal usage. A clogged filter reduces efficiency and can cause the unit to freeze. Wash with warm water, let dry completely, then reinsert.

The unit is not cooling properly. What could be the issue?

Check if the filter is dirty, ensure the exhaust hose is properly connected and not blocked, verify that the room size is appropriate for 12,000 BTU, and make sure the unit is in cool mode. Also, close windows and doors for best performance.

Can I use the air conditioner in heating mode?

Yes, the AMB12KM-410 features a heat pump, so it can provide heating. Set the mode to HEAT and adjust the temperature to your desired level. Note that heating may be less effective in very low outdoor temperatures.

How do I drain the condensate water?

In dehumidify mode or when humidity is high, water collects in the internal tank. If the unit turns off and displays a full tank indicator, remove the drain plug at the back and drain water into a container. Some models have a continuous drain option using a hose.

What does the auto-restart feature do?

Auto-restart ensures that after a power outage, the air conditioner resumes operation with the same settings as before the outage. This is a convenience feature to avoid having to reset the unit manually.

How do I use the remote control?

Insert two AAA batteries (not included) into the remote, point it at the unit's receiver, and press the power button. Use the mode button to cycle between Cool, Heat, Fan, Dehumidify, and Auto. The remote also controls temperature, fan speed, timer, and swing.

What is the recommended room size for this unit?

A 12,000 BTU air conditioner is suitable for rooms up to about 500-550 square feet, depending on insulation, ceiling height, and climate. For best cooling, ensure the room is well-sealed.

The display shows an error code. What should I do?

Common error codes include E1 (room sensor failure), E2 (evaporator sensor failure), and E3 (condenser sensor failure). Turn off the unit, unplug it for 5 minutes, then restart. If the error persists, contact customer support.

Can I program a timer?

Yes, the unit has a 24-hour timer. You can set the unit to turn on or off after a specified time. Press the Timer button on the remote or control panel and adjust the hours using the +/- buttons.

IMPORTANT!

• The unit is designed for indoor operation.
• Rating: This unit must be connected to a 220-240 V / 50 Hz earthed outlet.
• The installation must be in accordance with regulations of the country where the unit is used.

If you are in any doubt about the electrical installation, have it checked and if necessary modified by a qualified electrician.

• The air conditioner is safe. However, as with other electrical appliances, use it with care.
• Keep out of the reach of children.
• Do not clean the unit by spraying it or immersing it in water.
• Do not insert any object into the openings of the unit.
• Disconnect it from the mains before cleaning the unit or any of its components.
• Never connect the unit to an electrical outlet using an extension cord. If an outlet is not available, one should be installed by a licensed electrician.

WARNING

• Never operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug. Do not lead the cord over sharp edges.
• A damaged supply cord should be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or a qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
• Any service other than regular cleaning or wick replacement should be performed by an authorized service representative. Failure to do so could result in a loss of warranty.

POSITIONING

This unit is portable and can easily be moved from one room to another. In doing so keep this in mind:

• The air conditioner must stand upright on an even surface.
- Position not (near) bath, douche or other wet or damp area.
- Keep for free air circulation at least 50 cm free from any obstacle or curtains.

• Put the exhaust hose into the round side of the exhaust hose adapter (13) (fig. 1).
• Put the wall/window adapter (14) onto the exhaust hose (fig. 2).
• Connect the hose with the rectangular end to the air conditioner (fig. 4).

Using the foam.

Place the foam with the hole (11), if needed together with the foam extension (10), in the window and close this as far as possible to refrain the warm air from re-entering the room (fig. 5). Depending on how the window opens, horizontally (fig. 3a) or vertically (fig. 3b).

Pass the hose through the opening in the foam (11).

Permanent hole in glass or wall.

Place the wall/window connector (14) in the hole with diameter 130 millimetre (fig. 6). Connect the hose with the rectangular end to the air conditioner (fig. 4). Use the cap (15) to close the opening when the air conditioner is not used.

Important

The flexible exhaust hose can be extended from 300 to 1500 mm for mounting. This length has been designed especially according to the specifications of the air conditioner. Do not use an extension or exchange for a different hose as that may lead to malfunctioning.

The exhaust air must flow freely, any blockage can lead to overheating of the air conditioner. Take care to prevent any bow or bend in the exhaust hose.

OPERATION

1. ON/OFF and timer knob

LED [1] shows when the air conditioner is switched on ⚙

The unit switches off automatically when the selected time (between 1 and 8 hours) has run down.

2. Mode knob

Select with this knob either low or high ventilation speed (LED [2]) or low or strong cooling (LED [3]).

3. Thermostat knob

Turn this knob to maintain the temperature level in combination with cooling.

Air flow

a. Turn the roller to control the air flow direction of the vertical louvres.
b. Move the air vent directly to adjust the air flow direction of the horizontal louvres.

Notices:

• The compressor has been set so that it starts functioning three minutes after the (re)start of the air conditioner.
• The cooling will switch off when the room temperature is lower than the set one. Ventilation will however continue to work on the set level. When the room temperature rises above the selected value, the cooling will work again.

EMPTYING THE INTERNAL WATER CONTAINER

When the water container is full, the compressor stops but the ventilator keeps functioning, LED [4] will be on.

Switch off the unit and remove the plug from the mains.

• Place the water tray flat on the floor under the drain.
• Remove the drain knob.
• Remove the rubber plug and fill the water tray then replace the plug to stop the water flow. Empty the tray and repeat this process until all water has been removed.
• Replace the rubber plug and the drain knob, plug the unit in and switch on. The LED [4] should now be out.

PERMANENT DRAINAGE

Switch off the unit and remove the plug from the mains.

• Remove the drain knob and the rubber plug.
• Connect the correct water tube onto the water outlet.
• Place the other end in a normal drain.
• Make sure that the tube is free from twists and bends.

The tube must incline over its entire length.

Dehumidification

If the unit will be used mainly as dehumidification, do not connect the exhaust hose and let the warm air return in the room. Continuous drainage is then convenient and more efficient.

CLEANING

First of all switch off the unit and pull the plug.

Clean the housing with a soft, damp cloth. Never use aggressive chemicals, petrol, detergents or other cleansing solutions.

Filter

The single layer screen filter cleans the circulated air. The filter needs to be cleaned regularly with a vacuum cleaner to avoid blocking the air flow.

Notice! Never use the air conditioner without filter.

STORAGE

See the instructions "Emptying the water container".

• Drain the condensed water completely.
• Clean (or replace) the filter.
• Put the unit on a sunny day in fan mode for a couple of hours to ensure that the inside becomes completely dry.
• Store the power cable as shown, protect the unit against dust and store in a dry place not accessible for children.
