OPERATION MODES

COOLING

On very warm days we recommend programming the unit to start early, before direct sunlight hits the room, set it to a comfortable 20-22°C in cooling mode.

The electriQ Airflex 15 is a self-evaporating air conditioner, so under normal use there is usually no need to empty the internal tank. However if there is a high amount of humidity in the air or if the unit is not vented correctly, water will be collected in the internal tank.

If the unit operates in cooling mode for a longer period and especially at a time of year with higher air humidity, the internal condensation tank may fill and an error E4 will be displayed on the LED panel, which means the unit will require emptying as per the water drainage section. In such instances it is recommended to use the permanent drainage.

COOLING WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER IS PLACED INDOORS (NORMAL OPERATION)

The unit is placed in the room to be cooled.

Connect the hose to the hot air outlet of the air conditioner, after exchanging the grills if necessary. The air hose will expel the hot air from the room outside while the front grills produce cold air, to cool the room.

Technical line drawing of a car air vent (no text or symbols)

The hose can be vented via a tilted window, a door or wall aperture. Make sure that no warm air from outside can enter the room. Set the function to "COOLING". Set the target temperature using

the temperature control. The target temperature range is selectable between 16^ and 31^ . The unit must only be used in an ambient temperature of up to 32^ .

Note: After switching on, the compressor will only start after a 3 minute delay. For full cooling effect please allow a further 10 minutes of operation.

COOLING WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER IS PLACED OUTDOORS (DUCTING THE COLD AIR INTO THE ROOM)

Connect the hose to the cold air outlet of the air conditioner, after exchanging the grills if necessary. The air hose will send cold air into the room, while the front grills will expel hot air.

DEHUMIDIFICATION

The Airflex 15 is a powerful commercial grade dehumidifier with an extraction rate of 70 litres per day at 80% RH. Humidity is extracted from the air, collected in the water tank and discharged via a condensation drain pipe. We recommend using a large bucket or running the condensate drain pipe to an external drain. Please note the condensate drain is gravity fed, and so the pipe must run downhill for drainage to occur. Alternatively it is possible to connect an inline pump for sending the condensate longer distances or uphill.

When using the air conditioner in dehumidify mode, the exhaust hose is not required. Set the function to "Dehumidify". As the unit does not have a humidistat we recommend using the inbuilt timer to control the length of operation.

WATER-DRAINAGE

This model is an advanced self-evaporative air conditioner, which reduces the need to empty the water tank in cooling mode. If the unit is vented correctly most of the water is reused to cool the condenser coils and any excess is evaporated. As such for cooling mode, to ensure the unit runs at maximum efficiency, we would advise for continuous drainage not to be used.

MANUAL

DRAINAGE:

• When the internal water tank is full the unit will stop working, and the unit will display "E2" or "E4"
• Shut off the unit and unplug. Try not to move the model abruptly as this may cause water to spill out from the internal water tank.
• Place a tray under the water plug.
• Remove the water plug and attach a drain pipe running to the water container - water will drain from the internal container.
  • Put the water plug back securely.

CONTINUOUS DRAINAGE:

• Remove the water plug
• Connect a water pipe to the water outlet.
• You can plumb this pipe into your current plumbing system, lead it outside or use a water pump.

NOTE:

• Please make sure that the rubber bung or a drain pipe is in place when the unit is running.
- When operating the heating function, a drain pipe should be installed in order to improve the heating effect.
- When operating the dehumidifying function the unit must be used with a drain hose.
- When the water tank is full,"E2" or "E4" will be displayed on the display panel. Please remove the rubber bung from the drain port and remove the water collected. After the drainage is completed, please restart the unit and then the unit can operate normally.

MAINTENANCE

CLEANING

Please shut off the unit and unplug from the mains before cleaning or performing any maintenance

CLEAN THE SURFACE

Clean the plastic housing with a duster or a soft wet cloth.
