Q: Where to put water in the SUNTEC PROGRESS air conditioner? Do I need to fill the tank?

No, you do not need to manually fill the water tank. The SUNTEC PROGRESS air conditioner is equipped with an automatic water evaporation system. The condensation water generated during cooling is directly reused to cool the condenser. This system enhances cooling power while reducing your energy consumption. Therefore, you have no filling to do . The unit automatically manages all the condensation water produced. However, the internal tank may need to be drained occasionally. When it is filled to capacity, the display shows the symbol "FE" and the unit automatically switches to standby mode to alert you. This is when you need to drain the accumulated water. To drain the tank: first turn off the unit and unplug it. Then locate the water drainage plug located under the unit. Remove it and let the water flow into an appropriate container. You can also use the drain hose provided for easier drainage into a bucket or sink. Once the draining is done, plug the unit back in: it will resume normal operation. In summary: no manual filling is necessary ; the condensation water is used automatically. Just drain the tank when the "FE" symbol appears on the display.

Question 1

The remote control of my SUNTEC PROGRESS air conditioner is not working - what should I do?

Accepted Answer

If the remote control is unresponsive, here are the solutions to try in order:

1. Check the batteries

The remote control operates with 2 AAA batteries (not included with the device). Make sure that:

The batteries are correctly inserted in their compartment
The contacts are clean
You have replaced them with new batteries if the device has not been used for a long time

2. Test the range and line of sight

Try using the remote control closer to the air conditioner, pointing directly at the infrared sensor. An obstacle or too great a distance may block the signal.

3. Operate via the front panel in the meantime

If the remote control still does not work, you can fully operate the device using the buttons on the front control panel located on the air conditioner. You will be able to access:

On / Off
Mode selection (cooling, ventilation, dehumidification, etc.)
Temperature setting
Fan speed
Programmable timer (0-24h)

4. If nothing works

If the front panel responds but the remote control remains inactive, the remote control itself may be faulty. The manual recommends contacting your dealer for any repairs or replacements. Never attempt to repair the device yourself.

Question 2

Why is my SUNTEC PROGRESS air conditioner not cooling?

Accepted Answer

Check these points before contacting service

If your SUNTEC PROGRESS air conditioner is not cooling well or at all, here are the most common causes:

Open doors and windows - Close all openings. The unit cannot cool effectively if warm air is constantly entering.
Heat sources in the room - Move halogen lamps, stoves, radiators, or other heat sources away. They reduce cooling efficiency.
Sun exposure - Place the unit in the shade or close the curtains to avoid direct sunlight exposure.
Blocked or kinked exhaust hose - Check that the exhaust hose is properly connected and not kinked. A kinked hose significantly reduces hot air evacuation.
Blocked air intake - Ensure that the air intake of the unit is not obstructed (dust, objects, fabrics).
Insufficient distance - The unit should be at least 50 cm away from any obstacles (wall, furniture, curtains) to function properly.

Also, ensure that you have selected the cooling mode and that the temperature is set between 18 and 32°C using the UP/DOWN buttons on the control panel.

If cooling remains insufficient after these checks, contact customer service.
