Manual Panasonic CW-V1815EA Air Conditioner

Manual

This air conditioner employs a “Slinger-Up System” which is designed to splash the condensed water on the

condenser coil for maximum cooling efficiency, thus producing a splashing sound. If the splashing sound annoys

you, you can provide an outside drainage by using the following procedure which may, however, cause a small

loss of performance.

NOTE: If the unit is installed at coastal area, drainage of condensed water is recommended to prevent the

condenser being corroded easily.

• Select an installation location that can support the weight of the air

conditioner and on

e that will not cause increased operating noise

and vibration.

• Ensure that airflow and noise from the rear side of the unit (outdoor)

when installed do not disturb neighbouring residents.

• Obstacles placed in front of the air outlet on the rear side of the unit

(outdoor), or covers placed over it will cause excessive noise and

deterioration in performance.

Install the drain pan.

NOISE CONSIDERATIONS

• Repositioning or transfer of the air conditioner due to renovation or moving requires an additional service

charge. Please consult your dealer before moving.

ENERGY SAVING HINTS

• Do not overcool the room. This may affect your well-being as well as increase power consumption.

• The cooling capacity of the room air conditioner must match the room size for efficient and satisfactory

operation.

• Keep all doors and windows closed. Prevent hot air from entering and cool air from escaping.

•

•

Ensure that curtains and drapes are always closed to keep out direct sunlight during cooling operation.

Avoid heat

• Clean the air filter every 2 weeks. Dirty filters may reduce cooling efficiency.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Always turn off the air conditioner and the main power supply before

clean the unit.

Switch off the power supply if the unit is not going to be used for a

long period of time.

• Clean the cabinet, front grille with a mild soap or detergent and lukewarm water.

• The front intake grille can be easily removed for cleaning purposes (refer to

Remove the front intake grille

procedures). Gently wash it with water and a sponge.

• The filter can be easily cleaned using a vacuum cleaner. Vacuum the front of the filter and then wash the rear

with water. If it is badly soiled, wash with a mild household detergent.

• Do not clean with benzene, thinner, scouring powder or cloth soaked in caustic chemicals.

• If the unit is extremely dirty, heat transfer is less efficient and the unit may not cool effectively. Please contact

Shun Hing Electric Service Centre Ltd. for an a

nnual check. (Annual check is not covered under warranty)

• If the air filter becomes clogged with dust, the cooling capacity will drop, and 6% of the electricity used to

operate the air conditioner will be wasted.

NOTE: Do not dry the front panel or the air filter in direct sunlight. (Exposure to direct sunlight may discolour or

deform the panel.)

PRE-SEASON

INSPECTION

• Is the discharged air cold?

After 15 minutes of operation, it is normal for the temperature difference between intake and outlet air to be

more than 8°C for cooling.

• Are the air intake or outlet vanes of the indoor or outdoor side obstructed?

RECOMMENDED INSPECTION

• Usage over several seasons will reduce performance as the unit becomes dirty.

A dirty unit may produce foul odours and dust may clog the dehumidifying drainage.

Seasonal inspection is recommended in addition to regular cleaning. Consult Shun Hing Electric Service

Centre Ltd..

Check the following points before calling for repairs or service. If the malfunction persists,

please contact Shun Hing Electric Service Centre Ltd..
