Frequently Asked Questions - GWH12 AIRLUX

How often should I clean the air filters?
Air filters should be cleaned every three months under normal conditions. If the environment is dusty, clean them more frequently.
What should I do if the remote control stops working?
First, check if the batteries are weak or incorrectly placed. If the remote is within range and unobstructed, try removing the batteries for 30 seconds, then reinsert them. If it still doesn't work, use the manual switch on the indoor unit for emergency operation.
Why is my air conditioner not cooling properly?
Possible causes: the filter may be dirty, the set temperature may be too high, doors or windows may be open, or the fan speed may be set too low. Also check if the outdoor unit's air intake is blocked.
What does the X-FAN function do?
The X-FAN function (available in COOL or DRY mode) causes the indoor fan to continue running for 10 minutes after the compressor stops to dry the indoor unit, preventing mold and odors.
How do I reset the remote control display?
Press the CLOCK button to adjust the time, or use the combination of MODE and - buttons at unit OFF to switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius. For a full reset, remove the batteries for 30 seconds.
What do error codes F1 and F2 mean?
F1 indicates a malfunction of the indoor ambient temperature sensor. F2 indicates a malfunction of the evaporator temperature sensor. Check if the sensors are properly connected or contact an authorized service center.
Can I install the air conditioner myself?
Installation should be performed by authorized service personnel only, in compliance with local regulations. Improper installation can cause electric shock, fire, or poor performance.
Why does water drip from the outdoor unit during heating?
During heating operation, frost forms on the outdoor heat exchanger and melts during defrost cycles. This is normal; the water is drained through the outdoor drain hose.
How do I clean the front panel?
Turn off the power and remove the front panel. Wash with a soft brush, water, and neutral detergent. Do not use water above 45°C to avoid deformation. Dry thoroughly before reinstalling.
What is the emergency operation mode?
If the remote control is lost or damaged, press the AUTO/STOP button on the indoor unit. The unit will run in AUTO mode at a fixed setting (25°C for cooling, 20°C for heating) with auto fan speed.

Troubleshooting

PhenomenonTroubleshooting
Indoor unit can not blow air:In HEAT mode, when the temperature of indoor heat exchanger is very low, air flow is stopped in order to prevent cold air. (Within 2minutes)In HEAT mode, when the outdoor temperature is low or humidity is high, frost will be formed on the outdoor heat exchanger. The unit will defrost automatically and indoor unit will stop blowing air for 3-12minutes.During defrosting operation, water or vapour may be emitted.In DRY mode, the indoor fan will stop blowing air for 3-12 minutes in order to avoid condensate being vaporised again.
Moisture on air outlet :If the unit operates at high humidity for a long time, moisture will be generated on the air outlet grill and then drip off.
C5: Malfunction of connector jumper:Check if the connector jumper contacts properly. If the PCB is to be replaced, please take off the old for the new PCB.

Installation of Indoor Unit

Installation of Mounting Plate

  1. Mounting plate should be installed horizontally. As the water tray's outlet for the indoor unit is two-way type, during installation, the indoor unit should slightly slant to water tray's outlet for smooth drainage of condensate.
  2. Fix the mounting plate on the wall with screws.
  3. Be sure that the mounting plate has been fixed firmly enough to withstand about 60 kg. Meanwhile, the weight should be evenly shared by each screw.

Drill Piping Hole

  1. Slant the piping hole ( 55) on the wall slightly downward to the outdoor side.
  2. Insert the piping-hole sleeve into the hole to prevent the connection piping and wiring from being damaged when passing through the hole.

Installation of Drain Hose

  1. Connect the drain hose to the outlet pipe of the indoor unit. Bind the joint with rubber belt.

  2. Put the drain hose into insulating tube.

  3. Wrap the insulating tube with wide rubber belt to prevent the shift of insulating tube. Slant the drain hose downward slightly for smooth drainage of condensate.

Outdoor Condensate Drainage (only for Heat pump unit)

During heating operation, the condensate and defrosting water should be drained out reliably through the drain hose.

Install the outdoor drain connector in a∅25 hole on the base plate and attach the drain hose to the connector so that the waste water formed in the outdoor unit can be drained out. The hole diameter 25 must be plugged.

Whether to plug other holes will be determined by the dealers according to actual conditions.
