Frequently Asked Questions - AEX08BEC SHARP

How to adjust the temperature with the remote control?

Use the TEMP buttons (or ▲/▼) on the remote control to increase or decrease the temperature by 1°C increments. The set temperature is displayed on the remote control and the indicator panel of the indoor unit.

What does the blue or green Plasmacluster light mean?

The blue light indicates that the Plasmacluster air purifier is activated. The green light indicates that the cooling system (positive ionization) is running. Both modes eliminate allergens and odors.

How to clean the air filters?

Open the front panel, push the filters upward to unlock them, then pull downward to remove. Clean them with a vacuum or with warm soapy water. Dry in the shade before reinstalling. Repeat every two weeks.

Why doesn't the unit turn on?

Check that the circuit breaker has not tripped and the fuse is not blown. Ensure the remote control batteries are functional. The unit may also be in a 3-minute protection mode after a stop or mode change.

How to use the remote control if it is not working?

Check that the batteries are installed correctly (polarities + and -). Replace both batteries with new ones of the same type. If the problem persists, use the AUX mode on the indoor unit by pressing the button under the front panel.

What to do in case of a power outage?

The unit is equipped with a power failure memory. When power returns, it automatically restarts with the same settings (mode, temperature, etc.) except timers. Programmed timers remain active.

How to program the automatic stop timer?

Press the TIMER OFF button on the remote control. Set the desired time using the TIME ADVANCE or REVERSE buttons, then confirm with SET/C. The orange TIMER indicator lights up on the indoor unit. To cancel, use TIMER CANCEL.

Why is there a cracking sound or water flow noise?

The cracking sound is due to the expansion/contraction of parts under temperature changes. The water sound (rustling) is normal: it comes from the circulating refrigerant. Vapor may appear at the air outlet in Cool/Dry mode or on the outdoor unit in Heat mode (defrost).

How to save energy with this air conditioner?

Set the temperature 1°C higher in Cool mode and 2°C lower in Heat mode compared to the desired temperature. Block sunlight, close windows and doors, clean filters regularly, and use the stop timer.

When should the filters be replaced?

The dust filter (gray) should be replaced every 3 to 6 months. The deodorizing filter (green) should be cleaned every 3 to 6 months and replaced every 3 years. Use references AZ-F900C (dust) and AZ-F910C (deodorizing).

ADDITIONAL NOTES ON OPERATION

D.B. = Dry-bulb W.B. = Wet-bulb

- The built-in protective device may prevent the unit from operating when used out of this range.

- Condensation may form on the air outlet if the unit operates continuously in the COOL or DRY mode when humidity is over 80 percent.

WHEN POWER FAILURE OCCURS

This air conditioner has a memory function to store settings when a power failure occurs. After power recovery, the unit will automatically re-start in the same settings which were active before the power failure, except for timer settings.

If the timers were set before a power failure, they will need to be re-set after power recovery.

PREHEATING FUNCTION

In the HEAT operation, the indoor fan may not start for two to five minutes after the unit is turned on to prevent cold air from blowing out of the unit.

DE-ICING FUNCTION

• When ice forms on the heat exchanger in the outdoor unit during the HEAT operation, an automatic de-icer provides heat for about 5 to 10 minutes to remove the ice. During de-icing, the inside and outside fans stop operating.
• After de-icing is completed, the unit automatically resumes operation in the HEAT mode.

HEATING EFFICIENCY

• The unit employs a heat pump that draws heat from the outside air and releases it into the room. The outside air temperature therefore greatly affects the heating efficiency.
• If the heating efficiency is reduced due to low outside temperatures, use an additional heater.
• It takes time to warm up and heat the entire room because of the forced air circulation system.

TIPS ON SAVING ENERGY

Below are some simple ways to save energy when you use your air conditioner.

SET THE CORRECT TEMPERATURE

• Setting the thermostat 1°C higher than the desired temperature in the COOL mode and 2°C lower in the HEAT mode will save approximately 10 percent in power consumption.
• Setting the temperature lower than necessary during cooling operation will result in increased power consumption.

BLOCK DIRECT SUNLIGHT AND PREVENT DRAFTS

• Blocking direct sunlight during cooling operation will reduce power consumption.
• Close the windows and doors during cooling and heating operations.

SET PROPER AIR FLOW DIRECTION TO OBTAIN THE BEST AIR CIRCULATION

Keep the filter clean to ensure the most efficient operation. Make the most of the timer off function.

Disconnect the power cord when the unit is not used for an extended period of time.

- The indoor unit still consumes a small amount of power when it is not operating.

Be sure to disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet or turn off the circuit breaker before performing any maintenance.

	WATER VAPOURIn the COOL and DRY operation, water va-pour can sometimes be seen at the air outlet due to the difference between the room air temperature and the air discharged by the unit.In the HEAT operation, water vapour may flow out of the outdoor unit during de-icing.
UNIT DOES NOT SEND OUT WARM AIRThe unit is preheating or de-icing.
ODORSCarpet and furniture odors that entered into the unit and the air conditioner's inner component odors at the early stage of installation may be sent out from the unit.	THE OUTDOOR UNIT DOES NOT STOPAfter stopping the operation, the outdoor unit will rotate its fan for about a minute to cool down the unit.
CRACKING NOISEThe unit may produce a cracking noise. This sound is generated by the friction of the front panel and other components expanding or connecting due to a temperature change.	ODOR EMITTED FROM THE PLASMACLUSTER AIR OUTLETThis is the smell of ozone generated from the ionizer. Density of the ozone is very little, hav-ing no adverse effect over your health. The ozone released into the air will decompose soon, and its density in the room will not increase.
A LOW BUZZ NOISE EMITTEDThis is a sound emitted when the unit is generating ion clusters.
During PLASMACLUSTER AUTO OPERATION, the air conditioner operates in the REFRESHING OP-ERATION even when there is odor in the room.In case for example, when the room is full of tobacco smokes before the air conditioner is turned on, the ODOR SENSOR may become unreactive.

If the unit appears to be malfunctioning, check the following points before calling for service.

IF THE UNIT FAILS TO OPERATE

Check to see if the circuit breaker has tripped or the fuse has blown.

IF THE UNIT FAILS TO COOL (OR HEAT) THE ROOM EFFECTIVELY
Check the filters. If dirty, clean them.	Check the outdoor unit to make sure nothing is blocking the air inlet or outlet.	Check the thermostat is proper setting.
Make sure windows and doors are closed tightly.	A large number of people in the room can prevent the unit from achieving the desired temperature.	Check whether any heat-generating appliances are operating in the room.

IF THE UNIT FAILS TO RECEIVE THE REMOTE CONTROL SIGNAL
Check whether the remote control batteries have become old and weak.	Try to send the signal again with the remote control pointed properly towards the unit's signal receiver window.	Check whether the remote control batteries are installed with the polarities properly aligned.

Please call for service when OPERATION Lamp, TIMER Lamp and TEMPERATURE INDICATOR on the indicator panel blink.
