Frequently Asked Questions - CL 3716 CLATRONIC

How to install the CL 3716 air conditioner?

Place the unit on a flat surface, at least 50 cm away from walls. Assemble the exhaust hose by attaching the adapter to the hose, then connect it to the back of the unit. Pass the hose through an open window and use the window installation kit to seal the opening. Plug the unit into a grounded outlet.

How to empty the water tank when the FL light comes on?

Unplug the unit. Place a container under the rear water outlet (or both outlets). Remove the cap and connect the supplied water hose to drain the water. Once emptied, replace the cap. You can then restart the unit.

What do error codes E1 and E2 mean?

E1 indicates a temperature sensor fault. E2 also indicates a sensor fault (not detailed). In both cases, contact customer service.

How to use the timer for automatic start?

Turn off the unit with the power button. Press the timer button: the hour digit blinks. Use the + and - buttons to set the number of hours (1 to 24) before start. Wait 5 seconds to confirm. The timer indicator stays on.

How to clean the air filters?

Remove the grilles at the back of the unit (above and below the hose connection). Remove the filters from the grilles. Vacuum the dust or wash them with lukewarm water and mild detergent. Let them dry completely in the shade before reinstalling. Never operate the unit without filters.

Can I use the unit with a smartphone app?

Yes, download the free app Smart Life - Smart Living from Google Play or the App Store. Create an account, activate Wi-Fi on the unit by holding the Wi-Fi button for 5 seconds, then follow the in-app instructions to pair the unit.

What type of refrigerant is used and is it dangerous?

The refrigerant is R290 (propane), which is flammable. The unit must be installed in a room larger than 12 m². Do not puncture the cooling circuit. In case of a leak, ventilate the room and do not use any flame.

What to do if the remote control does not work?

Check the distance (max 8 m) and ensure no obstacles between the remote and the IR sensor. Replace the batteries with new AAA batteries respecting polarity. If the problem persists, the unit can be used directly from the control panel.

Why is the unit not cooling enough?

Possible causes: open windows or doors, direct sunlight, dirty filters, heat source in the room, or too many people. Check that the set temperature is lower than the room temperature. Clean the filters and close openings.

What safety precautions should I take?

Do not cover the unit, keep a distance of 50 cm around it, do not operate without filters, unplug before cleaning, do not puncture the refrigerant circuit. Wait 3 minutes after shutdown before restarting. Do not use in a bathroom or near a swimming pool.
