Frequently Asked Questions - TMA1201W Tomado
How to install the air exhaust hose?
Attach the round connector to the back of the air conditioner by screwing it clockwise. Then screw the flexible exhaust hose onto the connector. Let the other end of the hose hang outside through a window or opening. Use the supplied sealing kit to prevent hot air leaks. Make sure the hose is not bent or compressed to ensure good airflow.
How to clean the air filter?
Turn off and unplug the appliance. Remove the air filter located on the front (see manual). Vacuum the filter to remove dust. If the filter is heavily soiled, wash it with warm water (max. 40 °C) and a mild detergent, rinse, and let it dry completely in the air before reinstalling. Do not place it in the sun or on a heat source.
What to do if the water tank is full (Full indicator on)?
The Full indicator means the condensation water tank is full and needs to be emptied. For manual emptying, place a tray under the lower drain outlet (at the back), remove the plug, and let the water drain. Replace the plug after draining. In dehumidification mode, you can connect a garden hose (12.7 mm) for continuous drainage.
Why is the appliance not cooling enough?
First, check that all doors and windows are closed. Make sure the air exhaust hose is correctly installed and not obstructed. Clean the air filter if it is dirty. Move heat sources (direct sunlight, electrical appliances) away from the unit. Set the temperature to a lower value (16-31 °C). If the problem persists, consult the manual for error codes.
What do the error codes E0, E1, E2, E3, E4 mean?
Error codes are displayed on the control panel: E0: room temperature sensor defective (appliance may still operate). E1: capacitor sensor defective (contact service center). E2: water tank full (empty the tank). E3: evaporator sensor defective (contact service center). E4: water tank full (empty the tank).
Can I use an extension cord?
No, never plug the appliance with an extension cord. Use a wall outlet with grounding (220-240 V / 50 Hz) directly. If no such outlet is available, have one installed by a qualified electrician.
How to use the remote control?
Insert two supplied AAA 1.5 V batteries observing polarities (+/-). Point the remote control at the sensor of the appliance (max. range 8 m without obstacles). Use the POWER, MODE, TEMP +/-, SPEED, and TIMER buttons as on the control panel. Remove batteries if the appliance is not used for a long time (e.g., winter).
Is it normal for the air conditioner to make noise?
A slight noise may come from the circulation of the refrigerant (gas) – this is normal. Make sure the appliance is placed on a flat and stable surface to avoid vibrations. The max. noise level is 65 dB(A).
How to drain condensation continuously in dehumidification mode?
Turn off and unplug the appliance. Remove the screw plug from the rear drain (a little water may flow out, prepare a tray). Screw a garden hose (diameter 12.7 mm / 1/2 inch) onto the outlet. Place the other end of the hose in a drain or bucket lower than the appliance. Reconnect and turn on the appliance in dehumidification mode.
What are the safety precautions for refrigerant R290 (propane)?
R290 is a flammable gas. The appliance must be installed in a well-ventilated room of at least 15 m². Do not perforate the cooling circuit, do not use ignition sources (flame, electric heater) nearby. Repairs must be carried out by a certified professional. Do not use non-recommended cleaning products for defrosting.
