Frequently Asked Questions - AW1422TW1W HISENSE

What should I do if the air conditioner does not start?

Ensure the power cord is plugged into a grounded 3-prong outlet. Press the Power button. Check if the Reset button on the power supply cord has tripped (press Reset to resume). Also verify that the household fuse or circuit breaker is not blown.

How often should I clean the air filter?

Clean the air filter every 2 weeks. A dirty filter reduces cooling efficiency. Remove the filter from the front panel, vacuum or wash with mild detergent, and let it dry completely before replacing.

Can I use an extension cord with this air conditioner?

No. Do not use an extension cord. Plug the air conditioner directly into a grounded 3-prong outlet. Using an extension cord can cause fire or electrical shock.

How do I set the timer to turn the unit on or off?

Use the remote control. While the unit is off, press Timer and set the delay time (0-24 hours) using UP/DOWN, then press Timer again to confirm. For off timer, do the same while the unit is on. The Timer LED on the unit will illuminate.

What does the Sleep mode do?

Sleep mode provides 8 hours of optimal cooling. In Cool mode, the temperature increases by 1°F (1°C) after the first hour if the room is below 79°F. Fan speed is set to low. The unit turns off automatically after 8 hours.

Why does the air conditioner cycle on and off frequently?

Possible causes: the filter is dirty (clean it), the room is very hot (allow extra time), windows or doors are open (close them), or the unit is undersized. Also ensure the thermostat is set to a cool enough temperature.

How do I change the temperature display from Fahrenheit to Celsius?

Press and hold the MODE and DOWN buttons simultaneously on the control panel (or on the remote: press and hold MODE for 5 seconds) to switch between °F and °C.

What are the normal sounds I might hear?

You may hear a pinging sound from water droplets hitting the condenser, air movement from the fan, clicks from the thermostat, vibrations from the window, or a high-pitched hum from the compressor. These are normal.

How do I remove the air conditioner from the window?

Turn off and unplug the unit. Remove the sash seal, unscrew the safety lock and frame screws. Close the side curtains. With two people, lift the sash and carefully pull the unit out. Avoid spilling any standing water.

What does the Filter indicator light mean?

The Filter light illuminates after 180 hours of operation to remind you to clean the air filter. After cleaning, press the Power button on the unit or the Filter button on the remote to reset the light.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Before calling for service, try the suggestions below to see whether you can solve your problem without outside help.

Air conditioner does not operate

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

• The power supply cord is unplugged. Plug into grounded 3 prong outlet. See "Electrical Requirements".
• The power supply cord has tripped (Reset button has popped out). Press and release RESET (listen for click; Reset button will latch and on some devices, a green light will turn on) to resume operation.
• A household fuse has blown, or circuit breaker has tripped. Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician. See "Electrical Requirements". ■ The Power button has not been pressed. Press the Power button. ■ The local power has failed. Wait for power to be restored.

Air conditioner blows fuses or trips circuit breakers

■ Too many appliances are being used on the same circuit. Unplug or relocate appliances that share the same circuit. - Time-delay fuse or circuit breaker of the wrong capacity is being used. Replace with a time-delay fuse or circuit breaker of the correct capacity. See "Electrical Requirements". ■ An extension cord is being used. Do not use an extension cord with this or any other appliance. - You are trying to restart the air conditioner too soon after turning off the air conditioner. Wait at least 3 minutes after turning off the air conditioner before trying to restart the air conditioner.

Air conditioner power supply cord trips (Reset button pops out)

■ Disturbances in your electrical current can trip (Reset button will pop out) the power supply cord. Press and release RESET (listen for click; Reset button will latch and on some devices, a green light will turn on) to resume operation. - Electrical overloading, overheating, cord pinching or aging can trip (Reset button will pop out) the power supply cord. After correcting the problem, press and release RESET (listen for click; Reset button will latch and on some devices, a green light will turn on) to resume operation.

NOTE: A damaged power supply cord must be replaced with a new power supply cord obtained from the product manufacturer and must not be repaired.

Air conditioner seems to run too much

• The current air conditioner replaced an older model. The use of more efficient components may cause the air conditioner to run longer than an older model, but the total energy consumption will be less. Newer air conditioners do not emit the "blast" of cold air you may be accustomed to from older air conditioners, but this is not an indication of lesser cooling capacity or efficiency. Refer to the efficiency rating (EER) and capacity rating (in Btu/h) marked on the air conditioner.
• The air conditioner is in a heavily occupied room, or heat-producing appliances are in use in the room. Use exhaust vent fans while cooking or bathing and try not to use heat-producing appliances during the hottest part of the day. A higher capacity air conditioner may be required, depending on the size of the room being cooled.

Air conditioner cycles on and off too much or does not cool

• The air conditioner is not properly sized for your room. Check the cooling capabilities of your room air conditioner. Room air conditioners are not designed to cool multiple rooms. ■ The filter is dirty or obstructed by debris. Clean the filter. ■ The inside evaporator and outside condenser coils are dirty or obstructed by debris. See Annual Maintenance.
• There is excessive heat or moisture (open container cooking, showers, etc.) in the room. Use a fan to exhaust heat or moisture from the room. Try not to use heat-producing appliances during the hottest part of the day. ■ The louvers are blocked. Install the air conditioner in a location where the louvers are free from curtains, blinds, furniture, etc.
• The temperature of the room you are trying to cool is extremely hot. Allow extra time for the air conditioner to cool off a very hot room. ■ Windows or doors to the outside are open. Close all windows and doors.
• The Temp control is not at a cool enough setting. Adjust the Temp control to a cooler setting by pressing the minus button to reduce the temperature. Set the Fan Speed control to the highest setting.

- You see water dripping from the rear of the unit. Water may be collected in the base pan in highly humid conditions or on rainy days. This water overflows and drips from the rear of the unit.

Water drips from cabinet into your house

- The air conditioner is not properly leveled. The air conditioner should slope slightly downward toward the outside. Level the air conditioner to provide a downward slope toward the outside to ensure proper drainage. See the Installation Instructions.
