Frequently Asked Questions - PA27W Stirling

How do I install the Stirling PA27W air conditioner?

Installation requires exhaust hose attachment to the window kit. Adjust the slider to fit your window width, close the window on the kit, and plug the unit into a grounded outlet.

How often should I clean the air filter?

Clean the washable filter every 2 weeks under normal use. Remove the filter, rinse with water, dry completely before reinstalling.

Why is my PA27W not cooling properly?

Check that the exhaust hose is not blocked or kinked, the filter is clean, and the window kit is sealed. Ensure the unit is in cool mode with set temperature below room temp.

How do I drain water from the unit?

The PA27W features a self-evaporating system that reduces water accumulation. If the drain tank is full, the unit will stop cooling. Remove the bottom drain plug to empty the tank.

The remote control is not working. What should I do?

Replace the AAA batteries in the remote. Ensure there is a clear line of sight to the unit. If still not working, reset the unit by unplugging for 1 minute.

Can I use the PA27W without the exhaust hose?

No, the exhaust hose is essential for removing hot air. Operating without it will reduce cooling efficiency and may cause the unit to overheat.

What do the error codes mean?

Error codes are displayed as E1, E2, E4, etc.. E1 indicates room temperature sensor fault, E2 is evaporator sensor fault, E4 is high pressure protection. Refer to manual for details.

How do I set the timer?

Press the Timer button on remote or control panel. Set the desired hours (1-24) using +/-. The unit will automatically turn off after that time in timer off mode.

Can I use an extension cord with this air conditioner?

It is recommended to plug directly into a wall outlet rated for 115V, 15A minimum. Extension cords may cause voltage drop and overheating.

How do I store the unit in winter?

Clean the filter and drain any water. Disconnect the exhaust hose and window kit. Store the unit in a dry, cool place upright to avoid damage.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

• Room size: It is important to use the right size air conditioner in the room you want to cool. (This appliance is suitable for cooling rooms of 15 m^2 - 20 m^2 size.)
• Exhaust hose: This MUST BE CONNECTED and hot air expelled to the outside for the appliance to work properly. Keep the hose as short as possible.
• Noise: As the compressor is inside the room, a portable air conditioner makes more noise than a split system, where the compressor is outside.
• For best cooling efficiency, keep blinds and curtains closed during the sunniest part of the day. Close off any fireplace damper, floor and/or wall register so cool air does not escape through the chimney or duct work.
• Switching on/off: After switching on, allow 30 seconds for cool air to flow through the louvres. Avoid starting the air conditioner soon after switching off, and avoid switching it off immediately after switching on. Allow at least 3 minutes in between switching the unit on and then off, or vice versa.
• Moving the appliance: Take care when moving the appliance as condensation water may spill out. Ensure the drip tray is empty before moving it.

Instructions (Cont.)

Water full alarm

Condensation water that forms during cooling will drop into an in-built drip tray. When the water level in the drip tray is getting too full, an automatic water level sensor illuminates the water full (W.F) indicator on the control panel to alert you that the drip tray needs to be emptied.

Should the water full (W.F) indicator light up during operation, proceed as follows:

• Unplug the unit from the power supply.
• Place a pan under the water drainage outlet at the bottom of the unit.
• Remove the rubber stopper and drain all water out of the tray.
• Alternatively, attach a water drain hose (not supplied) to the drainage outlet (Fig. 15) and lead the hose to the outside or into a tub or drain for water drainage.

Care and cleaning

Electric shock hazard!

Before cleaning and servicing, ensure the unit is switched off and disconnected from the power outlet to prevent possible injury.

Cleaning the air conditioner

Wipe the housing with a damp cloth, moistened with water and a little mild detergent. Dry with a soft, dry cloth.

CAUTION: Do not wash the unit directly. Do not use any solvent or alcohol-based cleaning agent on any surface. Using such harsh cleansers will scratch or damage the surface, or can even lead to deformation of the housing.

Cleaning the air filter

This unit has an air intake filter at the side of the unit. If the air filter clogs up with dust, the airflow volume will be reduced. We recommend cleaning the filter once every two weeks.

To remove the filter, proceed as follows (Fig. 16):

• Open the air inlet grille and take off the air filter.
• Clean the air filter with a mild detergent in lukewarm water (max. 40 °C). Rinse thoroughly.
• Let all parts dry completely in the shade before reinstallation.

Before storage

At the end of the summer season, follow the simple steps below before disconnecting and storing the appliance.

• Unplug the unit from the power supply.
• Place a pan under a water drainage outlet and remove the rubber stopper (see Fig. 15 on page 19).
• Alternatively, connect a drain hose (not supplied) to the outlet and lead the hose to the outside.
• Any condensation water that has accumulated will drain out.
• Operate the unit in fan mode for a few hours to let the drainage pipe dry.
• Switch off the unit and disconnect the plug from the power supply.
• Disconnect the drain hose (if installed) and keep the hose and stopper with the portable air conditioner during storage.
• Store the appliance in the original packaging, or wrap it with a plastic bag or piece of material and keep it in a dry, cool place, out of children's reach.

Battery replacement

The remote control is powered by 2x AAA size batteries, packaged separately. To install them, or to replace them when required, proceed as follows:

• Open the cover to the battery compartment at the back of the remote control and insert 2 AAA batteries, making sure to match the polarity markings (+/-) on the batteries with those inside the compartment.
• Close the battery compartment.

Battery precautions

Only use fresh batteries of the required size and type.

Do not mix old and new, or different types of batteries.

To prevent a risk of explosion, normal batteries must not be charged, heated or disposed of by burning.

Never throw batteries into a fire or subject them to high temperatures.

Do not open the batteries or short-circuit them.

If battery acid has leaked, avoid contact with skin, eyes and mucous membranes to prevent injury.

In the event of contact with the acid, rinse the affected areas immediately with plenty of clean water and contact a doctor at once.
