Frequently Asked Questions - EPI12NLIWE ELECTROLUX

How do I clean the filter on my Electrolux EPI12NLIWE air conditioner?
Turn off and unplug the unit. Remove the filter cover, take out the mesh filter, and wash it with mild detergent and water. Let it dry completely before reinstalling. Clean every two weeks for optimal performance.
What does the 'Auto' mode do on the EPI12NLIWE?
Auto mode automatically adjusts the fan speed and cooling based on the ambient temperature to maintain the set temperature efficiently.
Why is my EPI12NLIWE not cooling properly?
Check if the air filter is dirty, if the exhaust hose is properly connected and not kinked, if the room is too large for the unit, or if the set temperature is higher than the room temperature.
Can I use the EPI12NLIWE in a room without a window?
Yes, but you need to vent the exhaust hose outside through a door, wall, or ceiling. The unit is not self-contained; it must exhaust hot air.
How do I use the sleep mode on this air conditioner?
Press the Sleep button on the remote. The unit will gradually increase the set temperature by 1°C per hour for up to 2 hours, then maintain, to save energy and provide comfort while you sleep.
What should I do if the remote control stops working?
Replace the batteries (2x AAA). Ensure nothing is blocking the sensor on the unit. If still not working, use the control panel on the unit itself.
How often should I empty the water tank?
In cooling mode, water is typically evaporated and exhausted. In dry mode, you may need to empty the internal water tank if it fills up. The unit will beep and show a full tank indicator.
My EPI12NLIWE shows error code 'E1'. What does it mean?
Error code E1 indicates a sensor fault. Turn off the unit, unplug it for 5 minutes, then restart. If the error persists, contact Electrolux service.
Is the EPI12NLIWE energy efficient?
With an EER of 10.5, it is reasonably efficient for a portable unit. Using it in a properly sealed room and cleaning filters regularly helps maintain efficiency.

Refrigerant

Refrigerant: R410A;

Refrigerant leakage contributes to climate change. Refrigerant with lower global warming potential (GWP) would contribute less to global warming than a refrigerant with higher GWP, if leaked to the atmosphere. This appliance contains a refrigerant fluid with a GWP equal to 2087.5. This means that if 1 kg of this refrigerant fluid would be leaked to the atmosphere, the impact on global warming would be 2087.5 times higher than 1 kg of CO2, over a period of 100 years. Never try to interfere with the refrigerant circuit yourself or disassemble the product yourself and always ask a professional. The product or equipment contains fluorinated greenhouse gases, and the fluorinated greenhouse gases are contained in hermetically sealed equipment.

Operation Tips

The following events may occur during normal operation:

1. Protection of the air conditioner.

• Compressor protection

The compressor can't restart for 3 minutes after it stops

- Anti-freezing

If the unit is operating in COOL mode and in low ambient temperature, frost may be formed on the heat exchanger. When 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 operation when the outdoor temperature is low but humidity is high, resulting in low heating efficiency.

During this condition the air conditioner will stop heating operation and start defrosting automatically. The time to defrost may vary from 3 to 12 minutes.

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

- Anti-cold air

In HEAT mode, the indoor fan will not operate in order to prevent cold air being blown into the room (within 5 minutes), if the indoor heat exchanger does not reach a minimum temperature under the following states:

(1) Heating operation just start.
(2) After auto defrosting is just finished.
(3) Heating at low temperature.

2. Gentle breeze

The indoor unit may still run to blow out the rest heat of the indoor unit in the following situations:

(1) In HEAT mode, the temperature reaches the setting value, the compressor stops and the indoor fan still runs for 60 seconds.
(2) In HEAT mode, the unit is turned off, the compressor stops and the indoor fan still runs for 10 seconds.

3. A white mist coming out from the indoor unit

• A white mist may generate due to a large temperature difference between air inlet and

air outlet in COOL mode in an indoor environment that has a high relative humidity.

- A white mist may generate due to moisture generated from defrosting process when the air conditioner restarts in HEAT mode operation after defrosting.

4. Low noise of the air conditioner

  • You may hear a low hissing sound when the compressor is running or has just stop 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 louver restoring to its original position when power is furst turned on.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. Condensation

Condensate water is 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 louver to its maximum angle (to the floor) and High fan speed. Close the doors and windows.

9. Lighting or a car wireless telephone operating nearby may cause the unit to malfunction.

Disconnect the unit with power and then re-connect the unit with power again. Push ON/OFF button on the remote control to restart operation.

10. X-Fan function

The indoor unit may keep running after you switch off the unit by pressing ON/OFF button.

Noise from indoor unitThe noise emmited when the fan or compressor relay is switched on or off.When the defrosting operation is started or stopped, there is a sound of refrigerant flowing in the reverse direction.
Indoor unit can not blow airIn HEAT mode, when the temperature of indoor heat exchanger is very low, airflow is stopped in order to prevent cold air. (within 2 minutes)In HEAT mode, when the outdoor temperature is low or humidity is high, frost will be formed on the outdoor heat exchanger. The unit will defrost automatically and indoor unit will stop blowing air for 2-3 mintues.During defrosting operation, water or vapour may be emmitted.In DEHUMIDIFY mode, the indoor fan will stop blowing air for 3-12 minutes in order to avoid condensing water being vaporised again.
Moisture on air outletIf the unit operates at high humidity for a long time, moisture may be generated on air outlet grill and then drip off.
