Frequently Asked Questions - 2AW6000DA ARCTIC WIND

How do I install the ARCTIC WIND 2AW6000DA portable air conditioner?

Place the unit upright near a window. Attach the exhaust hose to the back of the unit and to the window kit. Adjust the window kit to fit your window and secure it. Plug the unit into a grounded outlet and press the power button. Ensure the hose is not bent or blocked.

How often should I clean the air filter?

Clean the washable mesh filter every two weeks under normal use. Remove the filter from the back of the unit, wash it with warm water and mild soap, dry thoroughly, and reinstall. A dirty filter reduces cooling efficiency.

What does the 'FL' error code mean?

The 'FL' code indicates a full water tank or condensate overflow. Drain the water manually by removing the bottom drain plug or connecting a drain hose. The unit will resume operation after draining.

Can I use the air conditioner without the exhaust hose?

No, the exhaust hose is required to vent hot air outside. Without it, the unit cannot cool effectively and may overheat. Always use the included window kit and hose.

Why is the unit not cooling enough?

Check if the filter is clean, the exhaust hose is properly sealed, and the room is not too large for the unit's BTU capacity. Close doors and windows, and make sure no other heat sources are nearby. Set the thermostat to a lower temperature.

How do I use the timer function?

Press the Timer button on the remote or control panel. Use the +/- buttons to set the desired hours (1-24). Press Timer again to confirm. The unit will turn on or off after the set time.

Is the remote control included? What batteries does it use?

Yes, a remote control is included. It requires two AAA batteries (not included). If the remote stops working, replace the batteries or ensure nothing blocks the sensor on the unit.

Where can I find spare parts or accessories?

Spare parts like the remote control, filter, and drain hose are available from ARCTIC WIND authorized dealers or online retailers. Use the model number 2AW6000DA to order correct parts.

What is the proper way to store the air conditioner during winter?

Drain all water from the tank and hoses. Clean the filter and dry the unit thoroughly. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Cover the unit to protect it from dust.

Does the unit have a self-evaporative system?

Yes, in most modes, the unit reuses collected moisture to cool the condenser, improving efficiency. However, in very humid conditions, you may need to manually drain the tank when the 'FL' code appears.

LCDI Power Cord and Plug

This air conditioner is equipped with an LCDI (Leakage Current Detection and Interruption) power cord and plug as required by US National Electric Code 440.65. This cord consists of a length of shielded flexible cord with no termination on the load side and a LCDI attachment plug on the line side.

The LCDI power cord and plug will remove the supply source via electrical disconnect (circuit trip) if the nominal current leakage between the cord shield and either load conductor exceeds a predetermined value. The cord will remain de-energized until the device has been manually reset. This is intended to reduce the risk of a fire in the power cord or combustible materials nearby. The cord shields are not grounded and they must be considered a shock hazard if exposed. The cord shield must not be connected to ground or to any exposed metal.

The test and reset buttons on the LCDI Plug are used to check if the plug is functioning properly. To test the plug:

1. Plug power cord into a wall outlet
2. Press the TEST Button, the circuit should trip and cut all power to the air conditioner
3. Press the RESET button for use

If a test is performed and the indicator light remains ON, the current leakage has been detected. Do not use the air conditioner or attempt to reset the LCDI Plug. Contact Customer Service for troubleshooting recommendations.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Clean your air conditioner to keep it looking new, minimize dust build up and for optimal performance.

Air Filter Cleaning

The air filter should be checked at least once a month to see if it needs cleaning. Trapped particles and dust can build up in the filter and may decrease airflow as well as cause the cooling coils to accumulate frost.

To clean the air filter, power the unit off and:

1. Remove the filter by pulling down on the indents of the filter door on the front of the unit. (See FIG.15)
2. Wash the filter using liquid dish soap or mild detergent and warm water. Rinse the filter thoroughly. Gently shake the filter to remove excess water.
3. Let the filter dry completely before placing it into the air conditioner.

FIG A. Indents

NOTE:

If you do not wish to wash the filter, you may vacuum the filter to remove the dust and other particles.

Wear and Tear

To minimize wear and tear on the air conditioner, always wait at least 3 minutes before changing modes. This will help prevent the compressor from overheating and the circuit breaker from tripping.

Cabinet Cleaning

To clean the air conditioner cabinet:

• Power off and unplug the air conditioner to prevent shock or fire hazard. The cabinet and front panel of the air conditioner may be dusted with an oil-free cloth or wiped down with a damp cloth in a solution of warm water and mild liquid soap. Rinse thoroughly with a damp cloth and wipe dry.
• Never use harsh cleaner, wax or polish on the front of the cabinet.
• Be sure to wring excess water from the cloth before wiping around the controls. Excess water in or around the controls may cause damage to the air conditioner.

Winter Storage

To store the air conditioner when it is not in use for an extended period of time, remove it carefully from the window according to the installation instructions and cover it with plastic or place it in the original box. Remove the batteries from the remote before storing.
