Frequently Asked Questions - ALASTOR 18 Irradio BelAir

How to install the ALASTOR 18 air conditioner?

Installation must be carried out by a qualified professional. Respect the minimum distances from walls and obstacles, use a dedicated electrical circuit with circuit breaker, and perform proper earthing. Follow the installation diagrams provided in the manual.

Why does the air conditioner not restart immediately after shutdown?

The compressor has a 3-minute protection. Wait this delay before restarting the unit.

How to clean the air filter?

Turn off and unplug the unit. Open the front panel, remove the filter, clean it with a vacuum cleaner or lukewarm water (max 40 °C) with a neutral detergent. Dry it completely before reinstalling. Never use hot water or solvents.

What to do if the remote control does not work?

Check the batteries, replace if necessary. Ensure there is no obstacle between the remote and the receiver. Avoid direct sunlight. If the problem persists, reset the remote by removing the batteries for 30 seconds.

The air conditioner emits a strange smell at startup, is this normal?

Yes, this may be due to accumulation of dust or ambient odors on the heat exchangers. Ventilation usually dissipates them quickly. If the smell persists, clean the filters and check for mold.

What is the outdoor temperature range for heating operation?

Heating mode works for outdoor temperatures between -5 °C and 24 °C. Below -5 °C, performance may be reduced.

How to activate the child lock function on the remote control?

Press the QUIET and TIMER buttons simultaneously to lock all functions. Press again to unlock.

What to do in case of refrigerant leak?

Immediately turn off the unit, ventilate the room, avoid any open flame or source of ignition, and contact a qualified professional. Refrigerant R32 is flammable.

How to switch the display from °C to °F?

When the air conditioner is running, press the SLEEP and DISPLAY buttons simultaneously to toggle between Celsius and Fahrenheit.

What is the maximum piping length between units?

For the ALASTOR 18 model (18000 BTU capacity), the maximum piping length is 10 meters with a maximum height difference of 8 meters. Beyond 4 meters, additional refrigerant is required (30 g/m).

1. Remove the filter screen

Make sure the air conditioner is turned off.

Gently push up the panel for small distance and turn over outward for a certain angle to open the panel. Lift up the filter screen and pull out toward yourself to remove.

2. Clean the filter screen

Gently pat it or clean with vacuum cleaner. If the filter screen is too dirty, it can be washed by the solution containing small amount of neutral detergent. After washing, dry the filter screen and install it to the original location.

Note: The filter screen should not be exposed to sunlight, dried by stove fire, or washed with hot water above 40^ . Otherwise it will be deformed.

3. Clean the air conditioner

For safety purpose, the power plug must be unplugged before cleaning to avoid electric shock.

Do not wash the air conditioner with water Wipe the machine with soft cloth.

Do not wash the machine with volatile oil, gasoline, diluent, putty powder, etc.

For fingerprint or oil contamination, please wash with household neutral detergent.

4. Before the using season

Check if the air inlet and air outlet of indoor unit and outdoor unit are blocked.

The protective cover of outdoor unit must be removed.

Check if the installation base is corrosive or rusted.

Check if the power cable and grounding wire are in normal condition.

Check if the drain hose is bent, end is lifted, or is blocked.

Before operation, check and make sure the air filter screen is well installed. If the machine is running without air filter screen, the air conditioner may be damaged by dust and foreign substances.

5. After using season

Shut down the air conditioner and pull out the power plug.

Note: For common air conditioner, it will consume 5W power during standby status if the power plug is not pulled out. The standby power consumption of the machine marked with * is only 1W. 1W standby power consumption is measured in accordance with the enterprise standard Q/ZG 119 'Measuring Method of Standby Power Consumption for Household Air Conditioner".

Please carefully clean and maintain the air filter screen and other parts.

Cover the outdoor unit with plastic cloth to prevent the dust or waste from entering into the machine.

The following examples are not faults.

After shutting down, the air conditioner cannot restart immediately.	If the user restarts the air conditioner when it is just stopped, the 3-minute protective tinner of air conditioner will be automatically activated and the air will the restarted 3 minutes later.
If the air conditioner is shut down when it is in refrigerating mode, the wind supply should not be turned off immediately and wind deflector should not be closed immediately, (for machine type marked with *)	It is because that the air conditioner is executing the mould-proof operation and the indoor unit is running with low wind and wind deflector will be closed after 30 seconds.
No wind is supplied in the beginning of heating	Before the heat exchanger of indoor unit is warm, stop wind supply to avoid blowing cold wind (for 2 to 5 minutes).
There is strange smell coming out when start-up.	It is because that the smoke and smell from cosmetics, wall or furniture is attached on the air conditioner and is dissipated by wind blowing.
Water flow sound can be heard during operation of the air conditioner	It is the flowing sound of internal refrigerant of the air conditioner
Crackle can be heard after starting or stopping the heating or refrigerating	It is caused by the thermal expansion and extraction.

Before contacting the service department, please check the following items, which may save your time and expense.

PRODUCT WARRANTY

Melchioni Spa, based in Milan (Italy), via Colletta 37, recognizes a conventional guarantee on the product for a period of two years from the date of the first purchase by the consumer.

In this case, the validity of the warranty remains that of the original purchase: the service provided under warranty does not extend the warranty period.

The recognition of the guarantee by Melchioni Spa is subject to the presentation of a tax document that proves the actual date of purchase.
