Frequently Asked Questions - PD8899 TRISTAR

What to do if the appliance does not start?

Check that the water tank is not full (the indicator flashes). Empty it. Check the set temperature and make sure the outlet works.

Why is the appliance not cooling enough?

Check that doors and windows are closed, that the exhaust hose is properly connected and not blocked, and that the air intake is not obstructed. Clean the air filter.

How to set the timer?

To turn on: appliance off, press Timer, set the time with the temperature buttons. To turn off: appliance on, press Timer, set the time. Range from 0 to 24 hours.

What does the E0 code on the screen mean?

The E0 code indicates a defective ambient temperature sensor. Contact an authorized technician for replacement.

What does the E2 code mean?

The E2 code means the water tank is full. Drain the water via the drain plug at the bottom of the appliance.

How to clean the air filter?

Turn off and unplug the appliance. Open the grille, remove the filter. Wash it with lukewarm water (max 40°C) with a neutral detergent. Dry it away from sunlight before reinstalling.

Why is the appliance making noise?

Make sure it is placed on a flat and stable surface. The noise may also come from refrigerant flow, which is normal.

How to drain the water from the tank?

Place a container under the drainage hole at the back. Remove the rubber plug. The water will flow out. Replace the plug after draining.

Can I use an extension cord?

It is not recommended to use an extension cord. Plug directly into a grounded wall outlet of 220-240V.

What refrigerant is used?

Batteries

- Do not expose the battery to high temperatures or direct sunlight. Never throw batteries into the fire. There is a danger of explosion!

- Keep batteries away from children. Batteries are not a toy!

- Do not open the batteries by force.

- Avoid contact with metallic objects.(Rings, nails, screws et cetera) there is a danger of short-circuiting!

- As a result of a short-circuit batteries may heat up considerably or even catch fire. this may result in burns.

- For your safety the battery poles should be covered with adhesive strips during transport.

- Do not touch a ruptured and/or leaking battery. If the liquid from the battery gets into your eyes, rinse your eyes as soon as possible with clean water, without rubbing your eyes. Immediately go to the hospital. If it is not treated properly, it can cause eye problems.

Refrigerant

(CE) N 842/2006: This unit contains the refrigerant R290. The amount of refrigerant is less than 1kg, and is in a closed cooling circuit. The coolant does have zero ozone depletion potential, but is a so-called greenhouse gases under the Kyoto Protocol and may thus contribute to global warming, if it is released to the atmosphere. Therefore only trained technicians with refrigerant certificate make a filling or emptying. Your appliance does not have be refilled with refrigerant if used properly and has an undamaged coolant circuit. GWP: R290: 3
