Frequently Asked Questions - AC5522 TRISTAR

How to install the exhaust hose?

Connect the round connector to the hose assembly, then attach the rounded end to the air outlet of the air conditioner. Next, attach the flat connector to the window sealing plate. Make sure there are no obstacles within 50 cm of the window for optimal exhaust. Use the minimum hose length (60 cm) to save energy.

What to do when the water full indicator lights up?

The indicator shows that the tank is full. The air conditioner stops. Place the unit in a location where water can be drained (toilet, sewer). Unscrew the screw and remove the drain plug to empty. Replace the drain plug and screw before using the unit again.

How to clean the filters?

Turn off and unplug the unit. Remove the filters in the direction indicated. Wash them in warm water (about 40°C) with a mild detergent. Let them dry in the shade, then put them back in place. Cleaning every 15 days is recommended.

How to use the timer (programmer)?

Press the Timer button. The LED indicator lights up and the display flashes. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to set the time from 0h30 to 24h00. In stop mode, the air conditioner will turn off after the delay; in sleep mode, it will turn on. During adjustment, you can select the desired mode and temperature.

What are the different operating modes?

The unit offers three modes: Cool (cooling, adjustable from 18°C to 30°C), Dehumidifier (no temperature or speed adjustment), and Fan (multiple speeds, no temperature adjustment). The fan mode also allows an internal drying function.

How to use the remote control?

The remote control allows you to turn on/off, adjust temperature, speed (high, medium, low), mode, timer, swing, and sleep. The °C/°F buttons convert the display. Make sure the batteries are in good condition.

Why does the air conditioner not restart immediately after stopping?

In Cool mode, a 3-minute delay is required before restarting to protect the compressor. This delay is normal and requires no action.

What do the error codes E2, E3, FL, DF mean?

E2 : Abnormal room temperature sensor; E3 : Abnormal coil tube sensor; FL : Water full alarm; DF : Anti-freeze or defrost mode. In case of FL code, drain the water. For others, contact after-sales service.

How to store the unit off-season?

Drain the water, wrap the power cord at the back of the unit, remove the exhaust hose, cover the air conditioner with a plastic bag and store it in a dry place. Remove the batteries from the remote control.
