Frequently Asked Questions - HWAC-1217S HONEYWELL

How do I clean the filter on my Honeywell HWAC-1217S?
Turn off and unplug the unit. Remove the filter from the back, wash it with mild soap and water, rinse and let dry completely before reinstalling. Clean every 2 weeks during heavy use.
Can I use the HWAC-1217S without a window exhaust?
No, this portable AC requires venting to the outside to expel hot air. Use the included window kit for proper exhaust. Operating without exhaust may cause overheating.
What does the 'Auto' mode do?
Auto mode automatically adjusts fan speed and temperature based on the ambient conditions to maintain the set temperature efficiently. It alternates between cooling and fan only as needed.
How often should I drain water from the unit?
In most cooling modes, water evaporates and is expelled through the exhaust. In high humidity or dehumidify mode, the internal tank may fill; empty it when the 'Full' indicator lights up or every few hours as needed.
Why is my Honeywell HWAC-1217S not cooling?
Check if the filter is clean, the exhaust hose is properly vented, and the set temperature is lower than room temperature. If still not cooling, ensure the unit is sized for the room (max 400 sq ft). A dirty condenser or low refrigerant may require professional service.
What is the correct way to install the window kit?
Slide the window sash open, place the adjustable window panel in the gap, and extend it to fill the opening. Lock the panel in place with screws, attach the exhaust hose adapter, and connect the hose both to the panel and the unit's rear exhaust port.
Does the unit have a remote control?
Yes, a remote control is included. It allows you to adjust temperature, mode, fan speed, and timer from a distance. Batteries (usually 2 AAA) are not included.
What is the maximum window opening size for installation?
The standard window kit fits sliding windows from 27 to 48 inches wide. For double-hung windows, the minimum height is 13 inches. Custom adjustments may be needed for wider openings.
How do I set the timer?
Press the Timer button on the remote or control panel. Use the +/- buttons to set the desired number of hours (1-24). The unit will turn on or off after the set time. Confirm by pressing Timer again.
What type of refrigerant does the HWAC-1217S use?
It uses R-410A refrigerant, which is environmentally friendlier than older types. Any service involving refrigerant should be done by a certified technician.

CAUTION

  1. Do not open windows and doors for a long time when the air conditioner is running. This will cause the cooling or heating capacity to be weakened.
  2. Do not stand /sit on top of the outdoor unit and do not place heavy items on it.
  3. Do not apply cold air from the unit to the body for a prolonged time.
  4. It is recommended that the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor temperature should not be too large. Appropriate adjustments of the setting temperature can prevent the waste of electricity.
  5. If your air conditioner is not fitted with a supply cord and a plug, an all-pole switch must be installed in the fixed wiring and the distance between contacts should be no less than 0.1 inch.
  6. If your air conditioner is permanently connected to the fixed wiring, a residual current device (RCD) having rated residual operating current not exceeding 30 mA should be installed in the fixed wiring.
  7. The power supply circuit should have leakage protector and air switch of which the capacity should be more than 1.5 times of the maximum current.

NOTE:

- This product contains fluorinated greenhouse gases. Never try to interfere with the refrigerant circuit yourself or disassemble the product yourself and always ask a professional. The specification of the fuse is printed on the circuit board, such as: 3.15A/250V AC, etc. Refrigerant leakage contributes to climate change. Refrigerant with lower global warming potential (GWP) would contribute less to global warming than a refrigerant with higher GWP, if leaked to the atmosphere. This appliance contains a refrigerant fluid with a GWP equal to [2088]. This means that if 1 kg of this refrigerant fluid would be leaked to the atmosphere, the impact on global warming would be [2088] times higher than 1 kg of CO2, over a period of 100 years.

CHECK AFTER INSTALLATION

Electrical Safety Check

  1. If the supply voltage is as required.
  2. If there is any faulty or misconnection in each of the power, signal and grounding wires.
  3. If the grounding wire of the air conditioner is securely grounded.

Installation Safety Check

  1. If the installation is secure.
  2. If the water drain is smooth.
  3. If the wiring and piping are correctly installed.
  4. Check that no foreign matter or tools are left inside the unit.

Leak Test of the Refrigerant

Depending on the installation method, the following methods may be used to check for suspect leak, on areas such as the four connections of the outdoor unit and the cores of the cut-off valves and t-valves:

  1. Bubble Method: Spray a uniform layer of soapy water over the suspected leak spot and observe carefully for bubbles.
  2. Instrument Method: Checking for leaks by pointing the probe of the leak detector according to the instruction to the suspect points of the leak.

Temperature Range Conditions

- Outside the temperature range provided in following table, the air conditioner may shut down.

CoolingOutdoor>109.4°F
>125.6°F
Indoor < 64.4°F
HeatingOutdoor>75.2°F
>19.4°F
Indoor >80.6°F
  • When the temperature is too high, the air conditioner may activate the automatic protection device and shut the unit down.
  • When the temperature is too low, the heat exchanger may freeze, leading to water leakage or another malfunction.
  • In long-term cooling or dehumidification with a relative humidity of above 80% (doors and windows are open), there may be water condensation near the air outlet.

Notes for Heating

  • The fan of the indoor unit will not run immediately after cooling to prevent expelling cold air.
  • When it is cold and wet outside, the outdoor unit will develop frost over the heat exchanger which will compromise the heating capacity. This is when the air conditioner will start to defrost.
  • During defrost, the air conditioner will stop heating for about 5-12 minutes.
    •Vapor may come out from the outdoor unit during defrost. This is not a malfunction, but a result of a fast defrost.
    • Heating will resume after the defrost is complete.

Notes for Turning Off Unit

- When the air conditioner is turned off, the main controller will automatically decide whether to stop immediately or after running for a short period of time with lower air speed.

TROUBLESHOOTING

In case of problems, first turn off the air conditioner and disconnect from the source of electricity.

Symptom Solutions
Air conditioner can not operate at allHas the power been shut down?Is the wiring loose?Is voltage too high or too low? (measured by professionals)Does it reach the set time for start up?Does the circuit protection device trip?
Remote controller is not respondingIs the remote controller out of effective distance to the indoor unit?Are there any obstructions between the controller and the signal receptor?Is the battery exhausted?
Cooling/Heating efficiency is not goodIs the setting temperature suitable?Is the air inlet or outlet obstructed?Is indoor fan speed set at low speed?Is there any heat source in your room?Is the air filter dirty?
Indoor unit does not operate immediately when the air conditioner is restartedIf the air conditioner is turned on immediately after it is turned off, the protective delay switch will delay the operation for 3 to 5 minutes.
There is an unusual smell blowing from the outlet after operation is startedThe air conditioner itself does not have undesirable odor. If there is odor, it may be due to accumulation of the odor in the environment. Please clean the air filter or activate the cleaning function.
There is sound of running water during the running of air conditionerSometimes the “hissing” sound of running water can be heard. This is the sound of the flow of the refrigerant -- not a malfunction.
A slight “click” sound is heard at the of start-up or shut-downDue to temperature changes, panel, and other parts will swell, causing the sound of friction. This is normal, not a fault.
During the cooling operation, the indoor unit outlet sometimes will blow out mistThis is because the indoor air is cooled rapidly. After it runs for some time, the indoor temperature and humidity will be reduced, and the mist will disappear
