Frequently Asked Questions - KSV80HRE KELVINATOR

What should I do if the unit does not start?

Check if the power is on, the plug is securely inserted, the fuse is not blown, and the remote control batteries are not exhausted. Also ensure the timer is not set incorrectly. If the problem persists, contact an authorized service centre.

How often should I clean the air filters?

Clean the dust filter every month, or more often if necessary. The healthy air filters (if equipped) should be cleaned every 3 months and replaced every 6 months. Always turn off the unit and disconnect power before cleaning.

How do I set the timer for On/Off operation?

Press the TIMER ON or TIMER OFF button on the remote control. Use the CONTROL buttons to set the desired time (24-hour format). Point the remote at the indoor unit and press the opposite timer button to confirm. The timer indicator will light up.

What is the I Feel function and how does it work?

The I Feel function uses the remote control to sense temperature at its location. The remote sends temperature readings to the indoor unit every 3 minutes. The air conditioner adjusts operation based on the remote's location. Press the I FEEL button to activate; press again to deactivate. Not available in DRY or FAN mode.

What does the Eco mode do?

In Eco mode, the air conditioner gradually adjusts the set temperature by 1°C per hour for 2 hours (cooling increases, heating decreases), then holds steady for 5 hours before shutting off. This saves energy and is ideal for sleeping comfort.

How do I use the X-Fan function?

Press the X-FAN button on the remote control. After the unit is turned off, the indoor fan continues to run for 10 minutes to remove moisture from the indoor unit, preventing bacteria and mildew growth.

Why does the unit emit mist during cooling?

During cooling in high humidity, a thin mist may appear from the indoor unit. This is due to rapid cooling of humid air and will disappear as the room temperature and humidity decrease. It is normal and not a malfunction.

What does the defrosting cycle mean?

In heating mode, when outdoor temperature is low and humidity high, frost may form on the outdoor unit. The unit will automatically stop heating and defrost for 3-12 minutes. During defrost, indoor fans stop and the display shows 'H1'. This is normal; heating resumes automatically.

How do I replace the remote control batteries?

Slide off the battery cover on the back of the remote control. Insert two AAA dry cell batteries with correct polarity (+/-). Reattach the cover. The clock will need to be reset after battery replacement.

What is the warranty period and conditions?

The warranty period is 60 months from purchase date. Conditions include professional installation by a licensed installer, regular maintenance per the user manual, and use in normal domestic applications. Proof of purchase is required. Contact your local retailer or Electrolux Customer Care for claims.

Operating tips

The following events may occur during normal operation.

1 Protection of the air conditioner

Compressor protection

• The compressor will not restart for 3 minutes after it stops.

Anti-freezing

- If the unit is operating in COOL mode in a low ambient temperature, frost may be formed on the heat exchanger. When the indoor heat exchanger temperature decreases below 0°C, the compressor will stop operation to protect the unit.

Defrosting

- Frost may form on the outdoor unit in heating mode when the outdoor temperature is low but humidity is high, resulting in low heating efficiency.

When this occurs, the air conditioner will stop heating and start defrosting automatically. The defrosting time may vary from 3 to 12 minutes.

During defrosting, the fan motors of the indoor unit and outdoor unit will stop. The indoor indicator flashes "H1" and the outdoor unit may emit a vapour. This is not a malfunction. After defrosting is finished, the heating operation will resume automatically.

Anti-cold air

- In HEAT mode, the indoor fan will not operate for up to 5 minutes if the indoor heat exchanger does not reach a minimum temperature for the following reasons:

1 Heating operation has just started.

2 Auto defrosting is just finished.

3 Heating at a low temperature.

This is in order to prevent cold air being blown into the

Noises coming from the air conditioner

- You may hear a low hissing sound when the compressor is running or has just stopped running. This is the sound of the refrigerant flowing or coming to a stop.

- You also may hear a low "squeak" sound when the compressor is running or just stopped running. This is caused by heat expansion and cold contraction of the plastic parts in the unit when the temperature is changing.

- A noise may be heard due to louvre restoring to its original position when power is first turned on.

Dust is blown out from the indoor unit

- This is a normal condition when the air conditioner has not been used for a long time or during first use of the unit.

A peculiar smell comes out from the indoor unit

- This is caused by the indoor unit giving off smells permeated from building material, furniture or smoke.

The air conditioner turns to FAN only mode from COOL or HEAT mode

- When the indoor temperature reaches the setting value, the compressor will stop automatically, and the air conditioner turns to FAN mode.

The compressor will start again when the indoor temperature rises in COOL mode or falls in HEAT mode to the set point.

Condensation

- Water droplets are likely to form at the air outlet if cooling or drying for a long time when the relative humidity is more than 80% (with doors and windows open).

Set the vertical louse to its maximum angle (to the floor)

Troubleshooting

The air conditioner is not user serviceable. Incorrect repair may cause electric shock or fire.

Please contact an authorised service centre for professional repair.

warning

If one of the following situations occur, immediately stop the air conditioner, disconnect the power, and contact the authorised service centre.

- If an error code appears on the display window of the indoor unit.

- Power indicator or other indicators flash rapidly and this flashing cannot be stopped by disconnecting the power and then connecting it again.

- Fuse blows frequently or circuit breaker often trips.

• Water or other liquid is splashed into the unit.

• Water is leaking from the unit.

• There is a harsh sound during operation

• Strong odours are emitted during operation.

• Power cord and power plug are overheating.

• Other abnormal situations.

The pressure in the refrigeration system is low and could result in the unit breaking down.

Ask a certified installer to adjust the pressure.
