Frequently Asked Questions - ARC-10WB Whynter

How often should I clean the filter on my Whynter ARC-10WB?
It is recommended to clean the washable foam filter every 30 days to maintain optimal performance.
What does the 'E0' error code mean on the display?
The E0 code indicates a room temperature sensor failure. Try unplugging the unit for 10 minutes and restarting. If the error persists, contact customer support.
Can I use the ARC-10WB without a window kit?
No, the unit requires the included sliding window kit to exhaust hot air outside. Using it without proper venting will not cool effectively.
How do I set the 24-hour timer?
Press the Timer button on the remote or control panel. Use the +/- buttons to set the desired hours. The unit will automatically turn on/off after the selected time.
What is the recommended room size for this air conditioner?
The ARC-10WB is suitable for rooms up to 450 sq. ft. (41.8 m²) under standard conditions.
Why is the unit not cooling as expected?
Check for a dirty filter, blocked exhaust hose, or closed window. Also ensure the cooling mode is selected and the set temperature is lower than room temperature.
How does continuous drainage work?
Connect a standard garden hose (not included) to the drain outlet at the back, and route it to a floor drain or bucket. This allows the unit to dehumidify without emptying the water tank.
Can I use an extension cord with this air conditioner?
It is not recommended due to safety concerns. Always plug the unit directly into a wall outlet rated for its power requirements.
What is the noise level in decibels?
The ARC-10WB operates at 48 dB on low fan speed and 54 dB on high fan speed, making it relatively quiet for a portable unit.
Does the unit have a remote control?
Yes, a remote control is included with the air conditioner for convenient operation from across the room.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE USING YOUR APPLIANCE

  • Remove the exterior and interior packing.
  • Before connecting the appliance to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 4 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation.

SWITCHING ON/OFF THE AIR CONDITIONER

- The appliance can be switched ON or OFF by pressing the Power button on the control panel or the Power button on the remote control.

COOLING MODE

  • In this mode, the air conditioner cools and dehumidifies the room. To activate this function mode, press the MODE button until the COOL indicator light comes on. When the cooling mode is set, the compressor will start in approximately 3 minutes. In cooling mode, hot air is exhausted from the outdoor exhaust port and the exhaust hose must be connected to exhaust out the hot air.
  • The temperature setting range of this air conditioner is from 62°F / 17°C to 88°F / 30°C. To set the temperature, press the ▲ or ▼ buttons. This air conditioner has a 5°F temperature cushion which if the set temperature is within 5°F of the ambient temperature, the unit runs on fan only mode. This saves energy and prolongs the life of the compressor of the air conditioner.
  • To set the fan speed, press the FAN button. In cooling mode, the difference in noise level between the 3 fan speeds is not very noticeable when the compressor is on. Try setting the unit to Fan only mode, you should be able to hear the difference between high and low fan speed settings.

- In this mode, the air conditioner only dehumidifies the room, the compressor will activate intermittently depending on the ambient temperature and the fan speed is set to LOW. To activate this function mode, press the MODE button until the DRY indicator light comes on. Please note that when switching function mode, there will be an approximately 3 minute transition time. In dehumidifying mode, do not connect the exhaust hose and let the warm air return to the room.

AUTOMATIC MODE

  • When you set the air conditioner in AUTO mode, it will automatically select cooling or fan only operation depending on what temperature you have selected and the room temperature is close to the unit. The fan speed is automatically selected and cannot be changed.
  • To operate the unit in Auto mode when the unit is on, press the Mode button until the indicator for "Auto" is lit.

FAN ONLY MODE

- In this mode, only the fan of the air conditioner runs and circulates the air in the room. To activate this function mode, press the MODE button until the FAN indicator light comes on. In this function mode, the temperature cannot be set. Subsequently, set the desired fan speed by pressing the FAN button. Fan Only mode requires that the exhaust hose be removed.

TIMER (DELAYED SWITCH ON / OFF) FUNCTION

- This function mode enables a delayed switch ON or delayed switch OFF of the air conditioner. The time (hours) delay can be set, enabled and disabled.

SETTING SWITCH OFF TIMER

With the air conditioner operating in any function mode, press the TIMER button. The TIMER OFF light will come on. Then set the desired time delay OFF hours by pressing the UP and DOWN buttons. The time increments are at 0.5 hour to up to 10 hours, followed by 1 hour increment up to 24 hours. When the delay time set has elapsed, the air conditioner switches off. To cancel the delayed switch off function, turn off the air conditioner or adjust the time setting to 0.0.

SETTING DELAYED SWITCH ON TIMER

With the air conditioner is off, press the TIMER button. The TIMER ON light will come on. Then set the desired time delay ON hours by pressing the UP and DOWN buttons. The time increments are at 0.5 hour to up to 10 hours, followed by 1 hour increment up to 24 hours. When the delay time set has elapsed, the air conditioner switches on. To cancel the delayed switch on function, turn on the air conditioner or adjust the time setting to 0.0.

SLEEP MODE

In this mode, the air conditioner gradually increases the set temperature in cooling mode, decreases the noise level and conserves energy. In Sleep & cooling mode, the set temperature is increased by 1^ C/ 2^ C in the first 30 minutes. The temperature will then increase by another 1^ C/ 2^ C after an additional 30 minutes. This new temperature will remain the same for 7 hours. To activate this function mode, press the SLEEP button until the sleep indicated light comes on.

AUTO RESTART

In the event of a power outage, the air conditioner restarts at the previously set function mode and settings when power is restored.

CONTROLLING THE AIR FLOW DIRECTION

The louvers can be adjusted manually or automatically.

To adjust the air flow direction, manually move the louvers to the desired position. The maximum setting angle is about 60^ .

NOTE: Keep the louver fully opened during operation.

To adjust the air flow direction automatically, press the SWING button to set the louvers at the desired angle. The louvers move up to an angle of 6^ when the SWING button is pressed once. By pressing the SWING button for more than 2 seconds, the auto swing feature is activated.

NOISE LEVEL

Portable air conditioners may make sounds that are not familiar to you. The sounds listed below are normal. Noise reflecting off hard surfaces such as a floor or wall can make the sounds seem louder than they actually are.

  • The compressor may make a pulsating or high-pitched sound.
    • Water running from the evaporator to the water tank may make a splashing sound.
  • Refrigerant flowing may make a gurgling sound.
  • Fan sound may come from front and back air vents.

TROUBLESHOOTING

ProblemPossible CausesSolutions
The portable air conditioner does not turn onPower failure / outage.The automatic switch, line fuse, or breaker has been tripped.The power supply voltage is too low.The power cord is damaged.The L.C.D.I. power plug for the unit is tripped.The internal water reservoir is full and ‘P1” appears on display.Restore the power supply.Flip the switch / change the fuse / turn the breaker back on. Also note that you may have too many appliances drawing power on one circuit, you may need to move the other appliances to another circuit.Move the unit onto another circuit with the correct voltage.Call for service. Only authorized personnel should replace damaged power cord or power plug.Press the Reset button on the L.C.D.I. power plug.Drain water from the air conditioner.
The unit turns on but the compressor does not turn on (the fan runs but the unit is not cooling)The room temperature is outside of the operational tolerances of the unit.The Cooling mode is not on.The compressor has not turned on yet because of its time delay.The set temperature is too high.The internal water reservoir is full and ‘P1” appears on display.This unit is designed to work in ambient temperatures of 63°F to 90°F.Press the MODE button until the COOL light is shown on the display.Give the compressor 3 minutes to turn on after the Cooling mode has been selected.Set the air conditioner to a lower temperature.
