Frequently Asked Questions - PA 0430 SIEMENS

Why is the appliance not cooling enough?

Check that the hot air exhaust hose is correctly connected, not bent, and does not exceed 140 cm. Make sure the water drain hose cap is in place. Close windows and blinds to limit heat entry from outside.

What to do if the water tank full indicator lights up?

Place the appliance on a level surface. If the indicator stays on, empty the internal tank by removing the water drain hose cap and tilting the appliance to drain condensation water.

The appliance is very noisy, is this normal?

Cyclical water noises or compressor hum are normal. To reduce noise, ensure the exhaust hose is securely attached, that nothing blocks air inlets/outlets, and that the appliance is not in direct contact with furniture.

How to correctly install the air exhaust hose?

Screw the hose onto the push-tab connector of the appliance. Attach the diffuser to the free end of the hose until it clicks. Open the window, place the diffuser between the sash and the frame, then close the window as much as possible. Use the suction cup to hold the position.

How to clean or change the filters?

Open the front door by pulling gently. Remove the base filter by pressing the top clip. Wash it under running water and dry it before replacing. For the purification filter, insert it into the base filter. It should be changed once a year.

Can I use the heating?

Heating is only available on model PA0430M. Plug in the appliance, place the exhaust hose as for dehumidification, install the air direction attachment (if not already mounted), select the heating function and set the thermostat. The appliance turns off automatically at the desired temperature.

The appliance does not turn on, what to check?

Ensure the plug is connected and the function selector is not on 'off'. Check the mains power supply and the fuse. Set the thermostat to a temperature lower than the room temperature.

How to manually drain condensation water?

Turn off the appliance. Remove the water drain hose from its housing, remove the cap, and tilt the appliance to drain water into a container. Replace the cap and hose after draining.

What are the tips to save energy?

Turn off the appliance when not in use. Choose a moderate temperature. Place the appliance away from heat sources. Use blinds or curtains to limit solar heat. Ensure filters are clean and the exhaust hose is properly installed.

Water is dripping from the control panel grille, is it serious?

No, this is normal and due to internal condensation. The appliance is designed to drain water through evaporation. If the flow is excessive, check that the water drain hose cap is in place and that the tank is not full.

When the appliance is turned off and then turned back on, it takes the compressor 3 minutes to start up again. This period of time is required in order to ensure correct operation.

Avoid direct contact with the air expelled through the expulsion tube.

Requirements for use

Transportation requirements

The appliance is fitted with wheels to make it easier to move around. If necessary, you can tilt the appliance in order to move it. You should not turn the appliance back on again for a minimum period of one hour after performing this procedure.

Before tilting it, empty the condensed water from the internal tank by extracting the water drainage pipe from its housing and

removing the plug, Fig. 7. Do not forget to replace the plug and reinsert the pipe in its housing when the tank is empty.

Instructions for Use

Cooling

The appliance cools and dehumidifies the air in the room at the same time in order to create a pleasant atmosphere.

Plug the appliance into the mains electricity supply.
Lead the hot air expulsion tube outside. In order to avoid excessive noise and efficiency loss, the air expulsion tube should be positioned as shown in Fig. 14. See "Ways of releasing air outdoors".
Check that the plug, Fig. 1, is fitted on the drainage pipe to prevent water from leaking onto the support surface.
- Lift the air director on the top of the appliance. This air director is not installed on the appliance on PA0430M models. See figures 25 and 26 in "Heating".
Select the maximum silent cooling function, Fig. 8. (The silent cooling function reduces the air flow on the appliance).

Set the thermostat to the desired temperature. Fig. 9. If the appliance turns itself off automatically because the thermostat trips, it is necessary to wait for ambient temperature to rise 2 - 3^ before it comes back on again.

During air conditioning, some of the condensed water produced evaporates automatically and is expelled outdoors together with the expelled air through the hot air expulsion tube.

In conditions of extreme humidity, the appliance accumulates condensed water in an internal tank. When a certain level is reached an indicator light, Fig. 3, comes on indicating that the condensed water tank is full and needs to be emptied. When this happens, the appliance stops cooling the air in the room until the water is drained, as explained in "Transportation requirements", Fig. 7.

It is recommended that you turn the appliance off while draining the water.

Instructions for Use

Warning!

Remember that when the appliance is turned off and turned back on, it is necessary to wait for approximately 3 minutes before the compressor starts up again. This period of time is required in order to ensure correct appliance operation.

Noise

... the appliance makes a lot of noise ...

Some noise is normal and other types of noise can be solved easily. You need to be able to distinguish between these types of noise:

Perfectly normal noise

The sound of water flowing in cycles is due to the pump, which circulates the water to enhance the power of the appliance.
A dull, humming sound is inevitable due to the compressor.
A faint, whistling sound is due to the refrigerant passing through the thinner pipes on the appliance when the compressor starts up.
A short clicking sound is produced when the pump connects and disconnects or when the regulator connects or disconnects the electronics system.

Easy-to-solve noises

Make sure that the air expulsion tube and the diffusion and collection sleeves are fitted properly onto the appliance.
Make sure that the air intakes and outlets on the appliance are free of obstacles.
Make sure that the appliance is not in direct contact with furniture or other appliances. The air output may be flowing directly onto these and thereby increasing the noise level.

Any other type of fault or repair work should be dealt with by a specialised Technician. Get in touch with your authorised dealer, customer service or the Technical Service Network.
