Frequently Asked Questions - AAWV-06CR1FAU Admiral

How do I clean the air filter?

Turn off and unplug the unit. Grasp the top of the inlet grill and pull forward to access the filter. Remove the filter, wash with mild detergent and warm water, rinse, squeeze dry, and reinstall. Clean weekly for optimal performance.

What is the minimum window size for installation?

The minimum window opening required is 15.5 inches wide by 22 inches high. The unit is designed for vertical sliding or casement windows.

How do I set the timer?

Press the TIMER button. When the unit is on, press to set OFF timer; when off, press to set ON timer. Use the ▲/▼ buttons to adjust the time from 0 to 24 hours. The timer LED will show remaining time.

Why is my air conditioner not cooling?

Check if the power cord is plugged in, the circuit breaker is not tripped, and the mode is set to COOL. Also ensure the air filter is clean and there is no obstruction to airflow. If the compressor is overloaded, wait 10 minutes for it to restart.

How do I test the GFCI power cord?

Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet. Press RESET, then press TEST (you should hear a click). Then press RESET again to latch. If the Reset button does not stay in, do not use the cord; contact the manufacturer for replacement.

Can I use an extension cord?

No, do not use an extension cord or an adapter. Plug directly into a properly grounded 3-prong outlet meeting electrical specifications (115 V, 60 Hz, 15 A).

How do I use the remote control?

Insert two AAA (1.5V) batteries, matching polarity. Aim the remote at the unit's signal receptor within 23 feet. Use buttons for power, mode, fan speed, timer, and temperature adjustment.

What does the Energy Saving mode do?

Energy Saving mode cycles the fan and compressor to maintain temperature while reducing power consumption. It runs the fan less frequently than in regular Cool mode. Wait 3 minutes when switching modes.

How do I clean the coils and condensate pan?

For annual maintenance, inspect and clean the coils and condensate water passages. Use a soft brush or vacuum to remove debris. Ensure the drain plug is in place to prevent leaks. This is consumer responsibility.

What should I do if water drips inside?

Check that the unit is tilted slightly backward (approximately 1/2 bubble on a level) so condensation drains outside. Adjust the leveling bolt on the support platform if needed. Do not drill holes in the bottom pan.

TIPS BEFORE INSTALLATION

Your Room Air Conditioner unit is designed to be highly efficient and save energy. Follow these recommendations for greater efficiency.

1. Select the thermostat setting that suits your comfort needs and leave the thermostat at that chosen setting.
2. The filter is very efficient in removing airborne particles. Keep air filter clean. Normally, filter should be cleaned once a month. More frequent cleaning may be necessary depending on outdoor and indoor air quality.
3. Use drapes, curtains, or shades to keep direct sunlight from heating your room, but DO NOT obstruct the air conditioner. Allow air to circulate around the unit without obstructions.
4. Start your air conditioner before outdoor air becomes hot and uncomfortable. This avoids an initial period of discomfort while the unit is cooling off the room.
5. When outdoor temperature is cool enough, use HIGH or LOW FAN only. This circulates indoor air, providing some cooling comfort, and utilizes less electricity than when operating on a cooling setting.

Your Room Air Conditioner was designed for easy installation in a vertical (slider type) windows. NOTE: This unit is NOT designed for single or double-hung windows.

NOTE: Save the shipping carton and packing materials for future storage or transport of the unit. Please check the contents of hardware kit against the corresponding model check list, prior to installation of the unit. See lists below.(Fig.A)

NOTE: Surplus screw(s) for spare use.

Tools Needed for Window Installation Screw drivers: Both Philips and flat head Power drill: 1/8 inch diameter drill bit Pencil Measuring tape Scissors Carpenters level

- How to Use

To operate the room air conditioner, aim the remote control to the signal receptor. The remote control will operate the air conditioner at a distance of up to 23 feet when pointing at signal receptor of indoor unit.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

When servicing the air conditioner, be sure to turn the mode switch to the "OFF" position and disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet.

1. DOT NOT use gasoline, benzine, thinner or other chemicals on the air conditioner as these substances may cause damage to the paint finish and deformation of plastic parts.
2. Never attempt to pour water directly on the front of the unit as this will cause deterioration of the electrical insulation.

Cleaning the Air Filter

NOTE: Failure to keep the air filter clean will result in poor air circulation. DO NOT operate without a filter. This can render the unit inoperative.

Proper use and care of your air conditioner will help ensure longer life of the unit. It is recommended to annually inspect and clean the coils and condensate water passages. Expense of annual inspection is the consumers responsibilities.

When the air filter inlet grill and cabinet are dirty, wipe with lukewarm water (below 10 ⁴ F/40 C). Use of mild detergent is recommended.

Directing airflow

Air conditioner is engineered with adjustable louvers to direct discharge airflow. Louvers are manually adjusted by moving levers in direction of desired airflow.

Cleaning Air Filter

When the air conditioner is operating, indoor air is filtered and refiltered continuously trapping airborne dirt and dust in the washable filter. Therefore, the filter should be inspected and cleaned weekly.

1. Turn the unit off.
2. Grasp both sides near top of inlet grill and pull forward. Inlet grill will pivot forward to reveal air filter.
3. Remove air filter from tabs.
4. Carefully wash air filter with a mild detergent and warm water. Rinse with clear water, squeeze dry and replace.
