Frequently Asked Questions - Cool & Clean AAC12000 BESTRON

How to clean the filters of the Bestron AAC12000 air conditioner?

Turn off and unplug the unit. Remove both filters (top and bottom grille), rinse them with warm water or in soapy warm water, let them dry completely before reinstalling. Cleaning every 15 days is recommended.

What does the 'FULL' indicator on the control panel mean?

The 'FULL' indicator means the internal water tank is full. The unit stops automatically. To empty the tank, place the unit on a high surface, unscrew the screw cap and the rubber cap from the drain hole, and collect the water in a bucket. Screw caps back on after draining.

How much clearance should be left around the unit?

Leave at least 30 cm of free space around the unit for proper air circulation and to avoid overheating. Air inlets and outlets must remain unobstructed.

How to use the sleep function?

The sleep function is only available in 'COOL' mode. Press the 'FAN' and 'UP' buttons simultaneously to activate it. The unit switches to the quietest and most economical setting. To deactivate, press the same buttons again.

What should I do if the display shows 'E1' or 'E2'?

Code 'E1' indicates a malfunction of the outlet temperature sensor. Code 'E2' indicates a problem with the ambient temperature sensor. In both cases, contact a qualified professional to check the sensors and electrical circuits.

Can I use an extension cord with this air conditioner?

Only use certified extension cords with a minimum capacity of 16 A. Plug the unit into a circuit with a 16 A circuit breaker and a recommended 30 mA residual current device.

How to install the heat exhaust hose?

Attach the adapter to the exhaust hose, then mount the hose onto the hot air outlet at the back of the unit. Do not deform the hose and do not exceed 150 cm in length. Place the other end towards a window or opening.

The remote control doesn't work, what should I do?

First check the batteries (AAA type, not supplied). Make sure the distance does not exceed 6 meters and the direction angle is less than 30 degrees. If necessary, replace the batteries and aim the remote at the unit.

What type of refrigerant does this unit use?

This unit uses refrigerant R290 (propane), a flammable gas. It must be installed, used, and stored in a room larger than 12 m². Do not puncture the refrigerant circuit and follow safety instructions in the manual.

How to drain water continuously (continuous drainage)?

For frequent use in dehumidification or cooling mode, you can install continuous drainage. Turn off the unit, unscrew the caps from the drain hole (figure 1-10), connect a 21 mm fitting with a drain hose (not supplied) and place the hose end in a bucket or drain.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE - General

Over time, dust can accumulate in the grids and between the fins in the appliance.

1. Switch off the appliance and unplug it.
2. Remove the dust from the grids and louvers with a hand brush and/or vacuum cleaner.
3. Clean the casing with a soft, damp cloth. Then dry it thoroughly with a dry cloth. Never immerse the appliance in water! Make sure that no moisture gets into the electrical connections.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE - Water drainage

The device is equipped with an internal water collector. When it is full, the appliance stops working and the indicator light on the control panel lights up to "FULL".

1. Switch off the appliance and unplug it.
2. Place the appliance on a raised platform and place a bucket or other type of container under the drainage hole of the water collector.
3. Unscrew the rubber cap from the drainage hole (figure 1-8), see also figure 7. The water flows from the water collector into the bucket.
4. When the water collector is empty, put the rubber cap and screw cap back into the drain hole and make sure it is tightly closed.

ATTENTION:

• Move the appliance carefully and always vertically to prevent water from leaking over the edge of the internal water collector. When emptying, you can tilt the appliance slightly to get the last water out of the water collector.
• If the bucket or other type of container cannot collect all the water at once, replace the rubber cap of the drainage hole in the meantime. Empty the bucket and repeat the steps.

Continuous drainage

If you frequently use the device to dehumidify or cool air, you can also use the continuous discharge.

1. Switch off the appliance and unplug it.
2. Unscrew the screw cap and rubber cap from the continuous drain hole (figure 1-10), see also figure 7.
3. Connect a 21 mm (1/2") connector with drain hose (not included) to the drain hole (19 mm, see figure 8) and make sure that the end of the hose ends in a drain, bucket or other type of receptacle.
4. Use the device as indicated in this manual.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE – Clean the filter

For optimal results, you should clean the 2 filters every two weeks and replace them at least once a year, or more often if the filter is visibly closed. Also, clean the filter before storing the appliance for extended periods of non-use or when returning it to use after a longer period of time.

1. Switch off the appliance and unplug it.
2. Remove the filters at the top and bottom rear of the appliance (figure 9).
3. Rinse the filters with lukewarm water or soak in warm soapy water.
4. Let the filters dry thoroughly.
5. Place the cleaned (or new) filters back into the device.

ATTENTION:

- If the filters are not properly dried, water can get into the device. This can cause (electrical) damage.
