USER MANUAL Oslo 8000 Holland Electro

In principe wordt al het water via het ingenieuze verdampingssysteem afgevoerd via de luchtuitlaat. Echter wanneer de ruimte waarin het apparaat in werking is zeer vochtig is kan het reservoir sneller vol lopen dan er verdampt wordt. Het apparaat kan in dit geval afslaan zodat het reservoir niet zal overlopen. U kunt dan aan de achterzijde via het drainage pijpje het reservoir leeg laten lopen. Vergeet niet daarna het dopje er weer terug op te doen. NLFOREWORD: First of all, we would like to thank you and congratulate you for purchasing this environment-friendly air conditioner. With it, you will be able to control your ambient climate yourself. The installation is simple and thanks to the wheels at the bottom, the equipment can also be shifted easily. This air conditioner has been developed according to the latest developments in the field of air conditioning technology and anticipates the strictest European laws relating to safety and environment. In order to guarantee a long life and to optimally use the facilities of the equipment you have purchased, it is essential that you should read this user manual carefully. Preserve this manual carefully and keep it within reach so that you can refer to it later on. Persons who are not familiar with the contents of the user manual should not operate the equipment. TRANSPORT: Since your air conditioner contains refrigerant, you should always use and transport the equipment in the standing position. After installation, wait for at least 6 hours before you start using the equipment, after transportation and/or shifting of the equipment. This will allow the refrigerant to settle down and stabilise. If you start the equipment immediately, you may cause serious damage to it. GENERAL HINTS BEFORE COMMENCING USE: The equipment is only suitable for use indoors. However, it should never be used in the bathroom or any other room with a high level of moisture. The installation of the equipment should always be fully in con- formity with the local rules and regulations, prescriptions and standards. Check the mains voltage. The air conditioner is exclusively intended for an earthed socket outlet, connecting voltage 230 Volt (50 Hz). If an earthed socket outlet is not available, have one installed by a recognised installer. Never connect the air conditioner using an extension cord. When the air conditioner is not in use, pull the plug out of the socket outlet. Always pull the plug out of the socket outlet before you shift the equipment or start to clean the part of the same. As with every electrical device, exercise particular caution in connection with children in the vicini- ty of your air conditioner at all times. Ensure that repairs if any – apart from periodical maintenance – are always carried out by recognised service persons. The air conditioner that you have purchased is a safe equipment. It has been manufactured according to the latest safety standards. However, you should always be careful, as in the case of all electrical devices. Never clean the equipment by immersing it in water or spraying water on it. If your equipment is dirty, clean it only with a soft wet cloth and never with aggressive cleaning media. Only operate the equipment using the buttons provided for the same. Ensure that the air inlet and outlet are not clogged or covered. The exhaust hose for hot air should not be folded or jammed in. Do not place any objects on the equipment and do not keep it in full sunlight. For the first time, and each time that the machine is started, there is a start-up procedure that takes 3 min- utes to complete, before the air conditioner goes into operation. If you do not follow the instructions, there is a danger that the equipment may be damaged. The Manufacturer’s Guarantee does not cover such damages. GBTHE WORKING OF THE AIR CONDITIONER: The air conditioner that you have purchased sucks in warm air and passes it over cooling elements. The cooled air is blown back into the room through the grill. The hot air is conveyed outside over the flexible exhaust hose. Moisture in the hot air condenses and is passed out along with the hot air thanks to a revolutionary system. Thus, unlike with most air conditioners, you do not need to empty a water reservoir regularly. THE ENVIRONMENT: For the optimum functioning of the equipment, the following five factors are important: The environment in which the equipment is located. The temperature. The degree of humidity. The purity of the air The air stream.

1. THE ENVIRONMENT OF THE AIR CONDITIONER:

The environment within which the equipment is placed is of course the most important factor. Good cooling is not dependent solely on the number of cubic metres that the air conditioner has to process. There are factors that have an effect on the optimum working of the equipment.

AMBIENT CONDITION POSSIBLE ACTION

presence or absence of (good) sun protection: screen-off and prevent direct sunlight to the extent possible large/small amount of lighting: switch-off the lighting to the extent possible. large/small amount of glass: try to screen-off the sunlight to the extent possible. presence or absence of (good) insulation: Ensure that the room be cooled is optimally insulated. Keep doors and windows closed as far as possible flat roof or V-roof: - number of persons: each person within a room emits heat of between 100 and 150 W. It is hardly surprising that the cooling of the equipment will fall according to the number of persons in the room the location of the room; in the South, North, East and West:-

The most important task of the air conditioner is to remove the heat from the room and to convey it out- side. The higher the temperature in the room, the longer it takes to remove the heat. The air conditioner has a certain capacity (see Technical Data). Please remember that we are speaking of an optimum environment! Ensure that the air conditioner is placed in the room that is suitable for the same. It should be possible to maintain rooms that are larger than the specified capacity at a reasonable tempera- ture (provided the ambient conditions are suitable for the same). In such case, it is important to switch-on the air conditioner when the temperature in the room is still pleasant. Smaller rooms will not be under- cooled since the thermostat will automatically control the desired temperature (for the working tempera- ture, see the Technical Data). When cooling is taking place, the air exhaust hose should always be connected. This is in order to prevent the hot air from getting back into the room, which will make the temperature rise instead of falling. In addition, this exhaust also ensures the processing of all the moisture that the equipment simultaneously removes from the air during the cooling. TIP!!! Start the air conditioner when the temperature is still reasonably pleasant. This way, you will be able to maintain the temperature at a reasonably stable level (depending on the environment). This applies in particular to environments that are affected by the sun to a lot extent, such as for example flat roofs, greenhouses and attic rooms with poor insulation. GB3. THE DEGREE OF HUMIDITY. High air humidity percentages as experienced during the hottest weeks of the year, soon produce a feeling of suffocating heat. Your air conditioner draws a lot of moisture from your environment and conveys it outside the room via the exhaust tube. An ingenious system ensures that the moisture can be immediately “re-evaporated” and removed. You do not have to empty the water tank every few hours, and your air conditioner will not have to shutdown quickly because your water tank is full. It is only on extreme- ly humid days that the air humidity is so high that all the water cannot be re-evaporated simultaneously.

4. THE PURITY OF THE AIR

A specially developed air filter ensures that the dust is removed form the air. The atmosphere in your room will thereby become cleaner.

With your air conditioner, the quantity of air that comes in is controlled and the direction of the air stream can also be determined. Your air conditioner therefore contributes to achieving optimum air circulation: The air is therefore distributed without creating drafts and without an oppressive/sultry atmosphere, since tem- perature differences within the room (hot and cold zones) are avoided. PLACEMENT OF THE AIR CONDITIONER: The air conditioner should always be placed on a level surface in the vertical position. There must be at least 50 cm on the front side. There must be room available to allow free circulation of air. Ensure that the air inlet and outlet are free of blockages. An opening in the wall or window will be required to remove the hot air and condensate via the hose provided. Always ensure that there is sufficient distance between you and the equipment to ensure that you are not exposed to a draft. THE INSTALLATION: Installation is very simple and you can easily do it yourself. This air conditioner is suitable for both perma- nent as well as temporary installation. Carefully open the packing and check whether all the components are present. (See page 2) Check the placement of the air filter. (This is located on the back of the equipment). Place the air conditioner in the intended place and connect exhaust tube provided. Install the exhaust tube at the back of the equipment. Ensure that the air to be removed can go out, by passing the flat nozzle through a gap in the door or window. Wait for 6 hours to give the refrigerant time to stabilise. Insert the plug in the earthed socket outlet. You air conditioner is now ready to operate OPERATION: Timer button: Cont. This indicates that the timer is off. The numbers indicate one hour in each case. If the equipment is in operation and you place the button in the position 6, the equipment will switch-off after six hours. If the equipment is not in operation and you place the button in position 6, the equipment will start operating after six hours. Function button: With this button, you can control the ventilation positions and the cooling positions. It is therefore possible to allow the equipment to run only in ventilation mode. Optionally: Depending on the type, it is possible to only dehumidify the air. Ventilation (FAN) In this mode of operation, your air conditioner will be used as a ventilator without air conditioning being required. The equipment contributes to the efficient filtration and better distribution of the air. The ventilation speed can be set by placing the centre button in the desired speed position (a total of 3 speeds are possible). Cooling (COOL) After switching over to the air conditioning mode of operation, the equipment shall oper- ate according to the last selected settings. The operation is simple and efficient. Thermostat button: With this, you can make the selection you want within the working temperature appli- cable to your air conditioner. (See Technical Data) GBAttention!!! This air conditioner has a built-in self-protection system. If the equipment is switched-off, you should wait for three minutes before restarting it. In this manner, the refrigerant will be able to stabilise again. If you switch-on your equipment earlier and the refrigerant has not settled sufficiently, a safety mes- sage will appear: “The compressor will not start up”. The compressor will start up automatically only after a couple of minutes. You air conditioner will automatically dehumidify the air in the room. The water that is removed will be stored in the built-in collection tank and then immediately “re-evaporated” and removed via the hot air exhaust hose. In the case of models with an alarm lamp, the collection tank may fill up in case of extreme humidity (the air conditioner will stop automatically). In such case, you should remove the cap on the drainage pipe on the back of the equipment (left, bottom). You can now drain the water out of the collection tank. After you have done this, you may replace the cap, and the air conditioner will start up again. MAINTENANCE In principle, the air conditioner is maintenance-free, but we would advise you to perform the following actions to maintain your air conditioner in good condition. Filter -> Can be washed out with soap. Once every 14 days in case of normal use. Use a brush to remove the dust. Maintenance of the cabinet and the control panel -> Use a moist cloth to clean the equipment (do not use chemicals). End of the season -> Allow the remaining water to drain out of the water tank via the drainage pipe. Start the fan for a brief period in order to dry out the interior of the air conditioner. Remove the plug from the socket outlet. Cover the equipment. How should the air conditioner be installed and can I do it myself or should I call in a specialist?? The installation is very easy and you can easily do it yourself. This air conditioner is suitable for both perma- nent as well as temporary installation. See the section on Installation, for a step-by-step guide. Is it really necessary to connect the discharge hose?? In the cooling function, it is necessary to place the discharge hose on the air conditioner and to lead the same outside the room. During the cooling function, and enormous quantity of heat and moisture is released, which will directly come back into the room if the hose is not connected. In the ventilation posi- tion, the use of a discharge hose is not required. The discharge hose becomes quite hot, is this true?? This is true. The discharge hose is used for removing hot air and will remove a lot of hot air if the equip- ment is working properly. That is why discharge hose becomes hot due to the hot air flow. Attention!!! The exhaust hose for hot air should not be folded or jammed in. The environment for the exhaust of hot air should be kept sufficiently clean and should not be blocked or covered. TIP: One may draw a comparison to the black grill behind a refrigerator in this context. This grill is also pro- vided for removing hot air from the cooling cabinet. Can I connect the chimney flue or any other air exhaust system?? It is possible to connect the exhaust hose to an external air exhaust system such as the chimney flue. It is however important that the channel in question should have sufficient cooling power. If the air conditioner switches-off after a few seconds, this would indicate that the discharge channel selected is not suitable. If the air conditioner continues to function normally, one may continue to use this channel. If the air condi- tioner itself switches-off after a couple of minutes, the external discharge method you have selected is not adequate. GBWhat is the cooling technology that is used and is it dangerous to health?? The Home Electronics air conditioner is equipped with a powerful compressor that uses the refrigerant type R407c. This is the most environment-friendly type of freon currently available on the market. For the exact working of the air conditioner and the cooling technology in general, we would like to refer you to the general working of an air conditioner, described further on. Where does the moisture/water that is removed from the air go?? The water that is removed from the air in the de-humidification and cooling position is immediately re- evaporated and then passed outside the room via the discharge hose. A maximum of 1.8 litres of moisture can be removed from the air every hour. This of course depends on the air humidity percentage inside the room. On extremely humid days, a little condensate may even collect around the air outlet. This is a normal phenomenon. This condensate may be removed with a tissue. How is it that I hear the sound of flowing water in my air conditioner?? This is fine, it is the sound of the refrigerant during circulation. I find a non-uniform distribution of ice on the evaporator, is this true?? This is true and happens because a relatively cold liquid flows into the bottom of the evaporator while hot air leaves from the top. This is a principle of operation in cooling technology. TIP: An excess of ice formation may adversely affect the capacity of the air conditioner. It is also recom- mended that if there is too much ice on the outer side, the equipment should be allowed to defrost. Attention!!! Do not use the air conditioner in temperatures of 18°C or lower, otherwise the evaporator will freeze up and irreparable damage may be caused. Can be filter be washed out?? Yes, the filter can easily be washed out. You can clean the filter again using a lukewarm soap solution (do not use chemicals). Ensure that your filter remains clean. A clean filter will not only give you an optimum cooling result, but will also reduce energy consumption (upto 6% in comparison to a blocked filter). TIP: In order to ensure the optimum working of the air conditioner, it is recommended that this should be done at least once every 14 days. If the air conditioner is used intensively, we recommend a cleaning cycle of once every 7 days. New filters can be ordered separately via the Helpdesk Service line (0900 2025 194 20cpm). I hear a knocking sound, is this correct?? The knocking sound comes from the compressor and will always be heard when it is in operation. The noise generated by the fan and the compressor is well below the generally applicable standard and your air con- ditioner may be termed low-noise in its class. If you hear the compressor stop and find that only ventilation is taking place, it means that the temperature setting has been reached. The compressor shall automatically switch-on again when the setting temperature is exceeded. A light crackling sound is also heard when the air conditioner is in operation. This is due to the temperature variation in the equipment itself. This will not have any effect on your air conditioner. GUARANTEE: The air conditioner has a full Manufacturer’s Guarantee of 3 years.
