Frequently Asked Questions - EXM12HV1WI ELECTROLUX

How often should I clean the air filter?

It is recommended to clean the air filter every two weeks during regular use. A dirty filter reduces efficiency and air quality. To clean, remove the filter, vacuum or wash with mild soap, and let it dry completely before reinstalling.

How do I set the timer on my Electrolux EXM12HV1WI?

Press the Timer button on the remote control. Use the + or - buttons to set the desired time for the unit to turn on or off. Press the Timer button again to confirm. The timer can be set in 1-hour increments up to 24 hours.

What does the error code E1 mean?

Error code E1 indicates a problem with the indoor unit's temperature sensor. Turn off the unit, wait a few minutes, and restart. If the error persists, contact an authorized service center.

Can I use the air conditioner without the remote control?

Yes, the unit has a manual control button on the indoor unit. Press it to turn the unit on/off and cycle through modes. However, for full functionality (temperature adjustment, timer, etc.), the remote control is recommended.

What type of refrigerant does the EXM12HV1WI use?

This model uses R32 refrigerant, which is environmentally friendly with a low global warming potential (GWP). Ensure any servicing is done by a qualified technician.

How do I enable the self-cleaning function?

Press the Self Clean button on the remote control while the unit is in cooling or heating mode. The unit will run a cycle to dry the evaporator and prevent mold growth. The process takes about 30 minutes.

Why is my air conditioner blowing warm air?

Check that the unit is set to Cool mode (snowflake icon) and the temperature is set lower than the room temperature. Also ensure the air filter is clean and the outdoor unit is not blocked. If the problem continues, a refrigerant leak or compressor issue may be present.

What is the recommended temperature setting for energy saving?

For cooling, set the temperature to 24-26°C for optimal comfort and efficiency. For heating, set to 20-22°C. Each degree adjustment can save up to 6% on energy consumption.

How do I replace the remote control battery?

Slide the battery cover on the back of the remote control to open it. Remove the old battery and insert a new CR2025 or CR2032 3V lithium battery with the correct polarity (+/-). Close the cover securely.

What should I do if the unit freezes up?

If ice forms on the indoor unit, turn off the air conditioner and let it defrost naturally. Check for a clogged air filter or blocked airflow. Ensure the temperature setting is not too low. If freezing occurs frequently, call a professional technician.

warning

Do not touch or try to clean the cold plasma generator (if applicable). It may cause an electric shock.

General maintenance

If the air conditioner is not going to be used for a long period of time:

• Operate in FAN only mode for 3\~4 hours to allow the unit to completely dry out.
• Switch off the unit and pull out the power plug. Remove the batteries from the remote control.
• The outdoor unit requires periodic maintenance and cleaning. Do not attempt to do this yourself. Contact your dealer or service technician.

Checks before operation

• Check that the wiring is not broken or disconnected
  • Check that the dust filter is installed.
• Check if the air outlet or inlet is blocked if the air conditioner has not been used for a long time.

warning

• Do not touch the metal parts of the unit when removing the filter. Injuries can occur when handling sharp metal edges.
• Do not use water to clean inside the air conditioner. Exposure to water can destroy the insulation, leading to possible electric shock.
• When cleaning the unit, first make sure that the power and circuit breaker are turned off.

Operation Tips

The following events may occur during normal operation:

1. Protection of the air conditioner.

• Compressor protection

The compressor can't restart for 3 minutes after it stops

- Anti-freezing

If the unit is operating in COOL mode and in low ambient temperature, frost may be formed on the heat exchanger. When indoor heat exchanger temperature decreases below 0 °C, the compressor will stop operation to protect the unit.

- Defrosting

Frost may form on the outdoor unit in heating operation when the outdoor temperature is low but humidity is high, resulting in low heating efficiency.

During this condition the air conditioner will stop heating operation and start defrosting automatically. The time to defrost may vary from 3 to 12 minutes.

During defrosting, the fan motors of indoor unit and outdoor unit will stop, the indoor indicator flashes "H1" and the outdoor unit may emit vapor. This is not malfunction. After defrosting is finished, the heating operation will recover automatically.

- Anti-cold air

In HEAT mode, the indoor fan will not operate in order to prevent cold air being blown into the room (within 2 minutes), if the indoor heat exchanger does not reach a minimum temperature under the following states:

(1) Heating operation just start.

(2) After auto defrosting is just finished.

(3) Heating at low temperature.

2. Gentle breeze

The indoor unit may blow gentle breeze and the louver rotate to a certain position in the following situation:

(1) In HEAT mode, the unit is turned on, the compressor does not reach the starting condition.

(2) In HEAT mode, the temperature reaches the set value and the compressor stops running for about 1 minute.

3. A white mist coming out from the indoor unit

- A white mist may generate due to a large temperature difference between air inlet and air outlet in COOL mode in an indoor

environment that has a high relative humidity.

- A white mist may generate due to moisture generated from defrosting process when the air conditioner restarts in HEAT mode operation after defrosting.

4. Low noise of the air conditioner

- You may hear a low hissing sound when the compressor is running or has just stop running. This is the sound of the refrigerant flowing or coming to a stop.

- You also may hear a low "squeak" sound when the compressor is running or just stopped running. This is caused by heat expansion and cold contraction of the plastic parts in the unit when the temperature is changing.

• A noise may be heard due to louver restoring to its original position when power is furst turned on.

5. Dust is blown out from the indoor unit

This is a normal condition when the air conditioner has not been used for a long time or during first use of the unit.

6. A peculiar smell comes out from the indoor unit

This is caused by the indoor unit giving off smells permeated from building material, furniture or smoke.

7. The air conditioner turns to FAN only mode from COOL or HEAT mode

When the indoor temperature reaches the setting value, the compressor will stop automatically, and the air conditioner turns to FAN mode.

The compressor will start again when the indoor temperature rises in COOL mode or falls in HEAT mode to the set point.

8. Condensation

Condensate water is likely to form at the air outlet if cooling or drying for a long time when the relative humidity is more than 80% (with doors and windows open).

Set the vertical louver to its maximum angle (to the floor) and High fan speed. Close the doors and windows.

1. Lighting or a car wireless telephone operating nearby may cause the unit to malfunction.

Disconnect the unit with power and then re-connect the unit with power again. Push ON/OFF button on the remote control to restart operation.

10. X-Fan function

The indoor unit may keep running after you switch off the unit by pressing ON/OFF button.

Please check whether the X-Fan function is switched off.

Trouble Shooting

The air conditioner is not user serviceable. Incorrect repair may cause electric shock or fire. Please contact an authorised service center for professional repair.
