Frequently Asked Questions - SILENT16 ElectriQ

How to clean the air filter?

Switch off the unit and unplug it. Remove the filter from the back, wash it with warm soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly before reinstalling. Clean every 2 weeks for optimal performance.

How to set the timer?

Press the TIMER button on the remote or control panel. Use +/- to set the desired hours (1-24). The unit will turn on or off after the set time depending on current state.

What does error code E1 mean?

E1 indicates a room temperature sensor fault. Unplug the unit for 10 minutes and plug back in. If the error persists, contact ElectriQ support.

How to drain water from the unit?

In dehumidify mode, water may accumulate. Use the continuous drain hose if provided, or manually drain by removing the bottom plug. Self-evaporation reduces draining frequency in cool mode.

Remote control not working, what to do?

Check batteries (replace if needed) and ensure there is no obstruction between remote and unit. Point directly at the receiver. If still fails, reset the unit by unplugging for 5 minutes.

What is the power consumption?

The cooling power consumption is approximately 1100W, which is about 1.1 kWh per hour of operation. Actual consumption depends on settings and environment.

Is the air conditioner quiet?

Yes, the SILENT16 is designed for low noise. In low fan mode it operates at 44 dB, comparable to a quiet library. High mode is 52 dB, similar to normal conversation.

What type of refrigerant is used?

This unit uses R290 refrigerant, which is environmentally friendly but flammable. Do not puncture the refrigerant circuit. Service must be done by qualified personnel.

How to install the window kit?

Extend the window kit to fit your window opening. Place the exhaust hose from the unit to the kit. Ensure a tight seal. Some models require a 3M tape for security. Refer to manual for detailed steps.

What is the warranty period?

ElectriQ offers a 2-year warranty for this product. Register your purchase online to extend. Warranty covers manufacturing defects but not misuse or normal wear.

INSTALLATION

Installation:

Warning: Before using this unit, please keep it upright for at least 3-4 hours.

This unit can easily be moved from one room to another.

While moving the unit please note that it must always be kept upright and then placed on an even surface.

1. Assemble the fishtail connector on to the hose.

1. Assemble the exhaust hose to the air conditioner body.

Extend one head of the hose and screw it into the unit anti-clockwise. The hose can be removed by screwing the hose clockwise. Note: to screw it into place should take no less than three rotations.

1. In the same way connect the hose to the assembled adaptor (at least three rotations).

2. Installation of window kits.

Partially open the window and then fix the window kit to the window.

Note: The window kit is only designed to be installed with sliding or sash windows or doors. The window kit is not designed or to be used with any other style of windows. However, the fish tail adaptor can be used with most windows / doors. When using the cooling mode ensure that the opening left is as small as possible. The best form of installation is through a wall duct. By properly venting, you expel hot air from your room while efficiently cooling it.

Important safeguards

The length of the soft hose extends from 28 cm to 150 cm. If hose is extended above this length the unit may malfunction and this can invalidate the warranty. The outlet vent must be well ventilated and not obstructed as this will cause the unit to overheat. Avoid bending the air hose more than 30 degrees

OPERATION AND SETTINGS

This portable air conditioner boasts 3 functions: cooling, dehumidifying and fan. The fan has two speeds: high and low. Temperature range settings are: 16 - 31^ . The unit will also display operating function, temperature, fault diagnostic and protective functions on the LCD screen.

3.2. Overflow Protection Function:

When water in the water pan exceeds the warning level, the machine will automatically sound an alarm, and the LDC temperature display area will show "FL". At this point, you need to move the drainage pipe connecting the machine or the water outlet to sewer or other drainage area to empty the water (details see Drainage Instructions at the end of this chapter). After the water is emptied, the machine will automatically return to the original state.

3.3. Automatic Defrosting (heating and cooling models have this function):

The machine has automatic defrosting function: during defrosting, heating symbol on the display screen will flash.

3.4. Automatic Thermal Protection:

To protect the service life of the machine, the machine has automatic thermal protection in heating mode. During the protection period, the compressor and the lower motor will stop operation and will automatically return to normal heating state after the temperature of the machine recovers.

3.5. Protection Function of the Compressor

To increase the service life of the compressor, it has a 3-minute delay booting protection function after the compressor is turned off.

Note: This model has a self-evaporative function, which reduces the need to empty the water tank. If the unit is vented correctly most of the water is reused to cool the condenser coils and any excess is evaporated. Please do not use continuous drainage if you intend to use the self-evaporating facility.

Maintenance

1. Cleaning:

Before cleaning and maintenance, turn off the machine and unplug the plug.

Clean the surface

Clean surface of machine with a wet soft cloth. Don't use chemicals, such as benzene, alcohol, gasoline, e otherwise, the surface of the air conditioning will be damaged or even the whole machine will be damaged

Air filter cleaning

If the filter screen is clogged with dust, and the effectiveness of the air conditioning is reduced, be sure clean the filter screen once every two weeks.

A: Clean the upper filter screen frame

a: Clasp the wedging block of the Evaporator filter screen frame with hands. Force down from the outside t remove the Evaporator filter screen frame. Unscrew four screws fixing the Evaporator filter screen and th rear housing to remove the Evaporator filter screen (as shown in the above figure).

b: Put the Evaporator filter screen into warm water with neutral detergent (about 40 °C /104°F) and dry it in

the shade after rinsing clean.

B: Clean the lower filter screen frame

a: Hold the handle of the air inlet filter screen frame, and pull it outward gently to remove it.

b: Put the air inlet filter screen into warm water with neutral detergent (about 40°C / 104 °F) and dry it in the

shade after rinsing clean.

2. End of Season Maintenance:

1. Pull out the plug from the drainage hole and empty the internal tank. You can also drain the water by leaning the unit.
