Frequently Asked Questions - S 5148 QLIMA

Why does the unit not turn on when pressing the ON/OFF button?

The unit has a 3-minute protection feature that prevents restarting immediately after being turned off. Wait 3 minutes and try again. Also check if the power supply is connected, the fuse is not blown, the remote control batteries are working, and that the timer is not activated.

Why does white mist come out of the indoor unit?

White mist can occur when there is a large temperature difference between the room air and the conditioned air, especially in high humidity environments. It may also appear after defrosting in heating mode. This is normal and disappears quickly.

Why is the cooling performance poor?

Common causes include: the temperature setting is too high, the air filter is dirty, the heat exchanger is dirty, air inlet/outlet is blocked, doors or windows are open, excessive heat from sunlight or appliances, or low refrigerant. Check and clean the filter, lower the temperature, and ensure all windows and doors are closed.

How to clean the air filter?

Clean the screen filter every 2 weeks. Remove it by lifting the tab under the top air inlet grill, then pull it out. Clean with a vacuum cleaner or water. Ensure it is completely dry before reinserting. The active carbon and 3M HAF filters cannot be cleaned and must be replaced when dirty (twice per season).

What does the error code EC on the display mean?

The EC alarm indicates a refrigerant leak detected by the system. Do not restart the air conditioner. Disconnect the power and contact your supplier for service.

How to set the timer?

Use the TIMER ON and TIMER OFF buttons on the remote control. Press the button to show the last setting, then press again to adjust time (0.5-24 hours). The remote will transmit the signal after 0.5 seconds. You can set both start and stop times for combined timer operation.

Can I operate the air conditioner without the remote control?

Yes, there is a MANUAL CONTROL button on the right-hand side panel of the indoor unit. Press it once for forced AUTO mode, again for forced COOLING mode, and a third time to turn off. This is only for emergencies; normal operation requires the remote.

What is the Sleep function?

The SLEEP mode saves energy by automatically adjusting the set temperature. In cooling mode, it increases the temperature by 1°C per hour for 2 hours, then maintains a steady temperature for 5 hours before shutting off. In heating mode, it decreases by 1°C per hour similarly.

Why does the outdoor unit make noise?

Normal operating sounds include a low hissing sound from refrigerant gas flowing, a squeaking sound from thermal expansion/contraction of plastic parts, and fan noises. These are not malfunctions. If the noise is excessive, check for loose parts or contact a technician.

How to replace the remote control batteries?

Use two dry alkaline AAA/LR03 batteries. Remove the battery cover by pulling it in the direction of the arrow. Insert new batteries with correct polarity (+/-). Replace the cover. If not using for weeks, remove batteries to prevent leakage. Replace when the transmission indicator does not light.

H HOW THE AIR CONDITIONER WORKS

Press Sleep button
AUTOMATIC OPERATION

COOLING

HEATING

DEHUMIDIFYING

- When you set the air conditioner in AUTO mode (button 2 on the remote controller), it will automatically select COOLING, HEATING or FAN only operation depending on what temperature you have selected and the room temperature.

will control room temperature automatically round the temperature point set by you.

- If the AUTO mode is uncomfortable, you can select desired conditions manually.

OPERATION

- When you push SLEEP button ⑥ during COOLING, HEATING or AUTO operation, the air conditioner will automatically increase (cooling) or decrease (heating) 1°C per hour. The set temperature will be steady 2 hours later and remains steady for 5 hours. After 5 hours the unit will stop. The fan speed will be automatically controlled.

• The dehumidifying mode will automatically select the dehumidifying operation based on the difference between the set temperature and the actual room temperature.
• The temperature is regulated while dehumidifying by repeatingly turning on and off of the cooling operation or fan only. The fan speed is controlled automatically.
  • In normal cooling operation the air conditioner will also dehumidify the air.

NOTE

When the air conditioner is dehumidifying it is likely that the room temperature will decrease. It is therefore normal that a hygrostat will measure a higher relative humidity. The absolute humidity in the room will however be lowered, depending on the amount of moisture produced in the room (cooking, people etc).

1. The outdoor unit requires periodic maintenance and cleaning. This should only be done by an authorized airconditioning engineer.

Checks before operation

• Check that the wiring is not broken or disconnected.
• Check that the air filter is installed.

- Check if the air outlet or inlet is not blocked after the air conditioner has not been used for a long time.

CAUTION

• 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.

J OPERATION TIPS

The following events may occur during normal operation.

1. Protection of the air conditioner.

Compressor protection

- The compressor cannot restart for 3 minutes after it stops.

Anti-cold air

- The unit is designed not to blow cold air on HEAT mode, when the indoor heat exchanger is in one of the following three situations and the set temperature has not been reached.

A. When heating has just started.
B. Defrosting.
C. Low temperature heating.

Defrosting

• The indoor or outdoor fan stops running when defrosting.
• Frost may be generated on the outdoor unit during heat cycle when outdoor temperature is low and humidity is high resulting in lower heating efficiency of the air conditioner.
• During this condition air conditioner will stop heating operation periodically and start defrosting automatically.

• The time to defrost may vary from 4 to 10 minutes according to the outdoor temperature and the amount of frost buildup on the outdoor unit.

• 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 on 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.

GB

3. Low noise of the air conditioner.

• You may hear a low hissing sound when the compressor is running or has just stopped running. This sound is the sound of the refrigerant flowing or coming to a stop.
• You can also hear a low "squeak" sound when the compressor is running or has 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 sound may be heard due to louver restoring to its original position when power is first turned on.

4. 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.

5. A peculiar smell comes out from the indoor unit.

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

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

- When indoor temperature reaches the temperature setting on air conditioner, the compressor will stop automatically, and the air conditioner turns to FAN only mode. The compressor will start again when the indoor temperature rises on COOL mode or falls on HEAT mode to the set point.

1. Dripping water may generate on the surface of the indoor unit when cooling in a high relatively humidity (relative humidity higher than 80%). Adjust the horizontal louver to the maximum air outlet position and select HIGH fan speed.

8. Heating mode.

- The air conditioner draws in heat from the outdoor unit and releases it via the indoor unit during heating operation. When the outdoor temperature falls, heat drawn in by the air conditioner decreases accordingly and the heating capacity will decrease. At the same time, heat loading of the air conditioner increases due to larger difference between indoor and outdoor temperature. If a comfortable temperature cannot be achieved by the air conditioner, it is advised to use a supplementary heating device.

9. Auto-restart function.

- Power failure during operation will stop the unit completely. The air conditioner is equipped with Auto-restart feature, when the power restores, the unit restarts automatically with all the previous settings preserved by the memory function.

10. Refrigerant leak detection.

• The air conditioner is provided with a Refrigerant leak detection system.
When the outdoor unit detects a shortage of refrigerant, the air conditioner will stop and the indoor unit shows the alarm EC on the display.
When this alarm occurs, do not restart the air conditioner and contact your supplier.

K TROUBLE SHOOTING TIPS

Malfunctions and Solutions

TROUBLE

Stop the air conditioner immediately if one of the following faults occur. Disconnect the power and contact your supplier.
