Frequently Asked Questions - 23Z011 Zelmer

How do I install the exhaust hose correctly?

Attach one end of the exhaust duct to the adaptor on the air conditioner and twist it tight with 2-3 full turns. Keep the duct as short as possible (between 60 and 180 cm) and in a horizontal position. Do not bend it sharply or extend it beyond 200 cm.

Why does the 'WATER FULL' light come on and how do I drain the water?

The 'WATER FULL' light indicates the water container is full. The unit will stop and display error code E5. For automatic drainage, the pump will run for 10 minutes. For manual drainage, press SWING and TIMER buttons simultaneously for 2 seconds to start draining. Empty the container through the release stopper.

How often should I clean the air filter?

Clean the air filter every two weeks. Remove it by pulling upward, wash with warm water (around 40°C) and mild detergent, rinse, and dry in a shady place before reinstalling.

Can I use the air conditioner without the exhaust hose?

Only in dehumidifying (DRY) mode can the air conditioner operate without the exhaust hose. For cooling (COOL) and ventilation (FAN) modes, the hose must be connected to an outside opening to expel hot air.

What do the error codes on the display mean?

E2: Sucked air temperature sensor failure. E3: Appliance operating at too high temperature. E4: Appliance protection against irregularities. E5: Water level too high (drain required). If problems persist, contact an authorized service center.

How do I set the timer for automatic on/off?

On the control panel, press TIMER repeatedly to set the delay (1-12 hours). The display shows '⊕→ON' for auto-on or 'OFF' for auto-off. On the remote, press TIMER then use HOUR to adjust. Confirm by pressing ON/OFF.

What are the minimum clearances required around the unit?

Maintain at least 50 cm clearance from walls or obstacles on all sides to ensure proper airflow.

Why is the cooling effect weak?

Check if air inlets/outlets are blocked, if the air filter is dirty, if the room has other heat sources, if the temperature setting is correct, or if fan speed is too low. Ensure the exhaust hose is properly installed and not bent.

Can I use an extension cord with the air conditioner?

No. Plug the air conditioner directly into a grounded AC outlet. Do not use a multiple socket outlet or extension cord as it may cause overheating or fire.

How should I store the air conditioner at the end of the season?

Unplug and clean the filter. Drain all water by removing the release stopper. Run the fan mode for half a day to dry the interior. Store the unit upright in a dry, covered place.

3. Press the FAN SPEED (B) button on the control panel or the FAN SPEED (21) button on the remote controller to select the desired fan speed: HIGH, MED, or LOW.
4. Press the SWING (E) button on the control panel or the SWING (28) button on the remote controller to adjust the air delivery direction.

When the LCD display shows the symbol SWING ; the swing mode is set (left-right). Otherwise the fixed direction mode of air delivery will be set.

The upper and lower swinging fins (4) can be manually adjusted before the start of operation.

ATTENTION: In order to improve the cooling efficiency follow the instructions below:

1. Draw the curtains if the room is directly exposed to the sun.
2. Do not place the air conditioner near other heat sources.

Ventilation

1. During the ventilation mode the appliance will only adjust the air flow which means that the air flowing into the room will not be cooled or dehumidified.
2. Repeatedly press the MODE (D) button on the control panel or the MODE (18) button on the remote controller and choose the ventilation mode. The LCD display should show the FAN indicator. During the ventilation operation always place the air inlet and exhaust hose outside the room e.g. through an open window.
3. The appliance cannot operate as a ventilator in a closed circulation without receiving air from the outside, therefore it is necessary to install the air inlet duct.
4. Press the FAN SPEED (B) button on the control panel or the FAN SPEED (21) button on the remote controller to select the desired fan speed: HIGH, MED, or LOW.

Repeatedly pressing the TIMER (A) button set the time after which the air conditioner is to switch on. Each time you press the TIMER (A) button, the value will increase by one hour. The setting range is 1–12 hours.

In order to set the automatic switch off of an operating appliance, press the TIMER (A) button, the LCD display will show the symbol „ OFF ”. Repeatedly pressing the TIMER (A) button set the time after which the air conditioner is to switch off. Each time you press the TIMER (A) button, the value will increase by one hour. The setting range is 1–12 hours.

Note: Pressing the TEMP+ and TEMP- together for more than 2 seconds will lock the buttons. The LCD display will show the symbol ☑Press both buttons together again to unlock the buttons. The symbol will disappear from the display.

AUTOMATIC SWITCH ON / SWITCH OFF USING THE REMOTE CONTROLLER

In order to set the automatic switch on time press the TIMER (19) button. The LCD display of the remote controller will display the „ON” symbol and the last used switch on time in the 1–12H format. Example: „4H” means that the appliance will automatically switch on in 4 hours.

In order to set / adjust the automatic switch on time press the HOUR (27) button. Each time you press the HOUR (27) button, the value will increase by one hour in the range from 1 to 12. When 12 is reached, the value will return to 1 the next time you press the HOUR (27) button. In order to set the automatic switch off of an operating appliance using the remote controller, press the TIMER (19) button, the LCD display will show the symbol „OFF” and the last used switch off time in the 1–12H format. Example: „4H” means that the appliance will automatically switch off in 4 hours.

In order to set / adjust the automatic switch off time press the HOUR (27) button. Each time you press the HOUR (27) button, the value will increase by one hour in the range from 1 to 12. When 12 is reached, the value will return to 1 the next time you press the HOUR (27) button.

WATER DRAINAGE METHODS

ATTENTION: One of the following drainage methods is suitable for your unit. Please check to refer the identical one and drain the water to proper position.

Method 1: Water drainage pump function – automatic water drainage

1. Under random mode if the water level in the water container is LOW, the water pump and recycle pump will not work, the air conditioner operates in the set operation mode.
2. If the water level in the water container is NORMAL, the recycle pump will work, water pump will not work and the he air conditioner operates in the set operation mode.
3. If the water level in the water container is HIGH, the water pump will work for 10 minutes. After that if the water level is on LOW/NORMAL level, the appliance will continue to operate in the set mode. If the water level continues to be on a HIGH level, the water pump will stop working and the appliance will switch off. The WATER FULL (G) control lamp on the control panel will illuminate and the LCD display will show failure code E5. Twist off the release stopper and empty the water container.

Method 2: Manual water drainage

When the water level in the water container is on HIGH level, the appliance will stop working and the WATER FULL (G) control lamp will illuminate on the control panel. The LCD display will show failure code E5. Simultaneously press the SWING (E) and TIMER (A) buttons for more than 2 seconds. The water will be drained out by the drainage hose on the back of the appliance. When the water level drops to LOW, the appliance will stop draining water. Press the ON/OFF (H) button to continue former operation mode.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
