How to use your Dimplex Air Conditioner
Working mechanism and special functions for cooling mode
Principle:
Air conditioners absorb the heat in a room, then transmit that heat outdoors, where it is then
discharged. This decreases the ambient indoor temperature. The cooling capacity of the air
conditioner may increase or decrease depending on the outdoor ambient temperature.
Anti-freezing function:
If the unit is running in COOL mode and the outdoor ambient temperature is low, frost may
form on the heat exchanger. If the indoor heat exchanger temperature drops below 0 degrees
Celsius, the unit's indoor microcomputer will stop the compressor in order to protect the unit.
Working mechanism and special functions for heating mode
Principle:
This unit also functions as a heater. It absorbs heat from outdoors and transmits it indoors,
*
thereby raising the indoor ambient temperature. The eectiveness of this function may
decrease if the outdoor ambient temperature decreases.
If the ambient outdoor temperature becomes too cold, please use other heating methods.
*
The unit will continue to function down to -10 C, however defrost settings will activate it self
more often during these lower temeratures.
o
Defrosting:
If the ambient temperature outside is low but the humidity is high, frost may form on the
*
outdoor unit and aect the heating capabilities. If this occurs, the auto-defrost function will
activate and the fan motors on both the indoor and outdoor units will halt, disrupting the
heat output for 8-10 minutes.
During the auto-defrost sequence, vapour may be emitted from the outdoor unit. This is
*
normal and not a malfunction.
When the auto-defrost sequence is complete, heating will resume automatically.
*
The climate type of this unit is according to the nameplate.
The external static pressures at which the appliance was tested should be zero Pa.

How to use your Dimplex Air Conditioner
Anti-cool air function:
The unit is designed not to blow cold air on HEAT mode when the indoor heat exchanger
is in one of the following three situations:
1. When heating mode begins
2. After the auto-defrost function has just finiished.
3. Heating in very low temperatures.
Gentle Breeze
The unit may automatically rotate to a certain position and blow a gentle
breeze in the following situations:
1. When the unit is turned on, in HEAT mode, and the compressor hasn't reached the
starting position.
2. When the unit is in HEAT mode, the temperature has arrived at the prescribed value,
and the compressor has stopped running for approximately 1 minute.

Troubleshooting
CAUTION
Do not attempt to repair the unit by yourself. If the unit is not functioning properly, please
check the following troubleshooting guide before contacting Dimplex customer services.
Malfunction
The unit does not restart.
Waiting
There is a bad smell coming from the unit.
Gurgling or dripping sounds are heard from
the unit.
Solution
Once the air conditioner has been turned off,
it will not restart within three minutes. This is
to prevent system overload.
Clean the air filter. If the smell persists,
please contact Dimplex customer services.
This is due to refrigerant flowing inside the
unit. This is normal.
In COOL mode, a mist is produced through
the vent.
Creaking noises are heard from the unit
when it is turned on or off.
This can happen with high air temperature
and humidity levels. After the unit has been
running for a while, the mist will disappear.
.
This is caused when changes in temperature
warp the plastic. It is normal as long as its
not continuous.

Troubleshooting
Malfunction
Indoor unit is not blowing out any air.
There is moisture on the air outlet vent.
Solution
●
If the unit is running in HEAT mode and the
temperature of the heat exchanger is very low,
it will stop before cold air comes out.
●
When the unit is running in HEAT mode and the
outdoor temperature is low or the humidity is
very high, frost may form on the outdoor heat
exchanger. If this happens, the unit will
automatically defrost. During the defrosting,
air will stop blowing, and water or vapour may
come out of the unit.
If the unit is running in DEHUMIDIFY mode, the
●
indoor fan man stop in order to prevent
condensation from evaporating back into the air.
●
If the unit is running in high humidity for long
periods of time, moisture may condense and
drip off the grill.
If any of the following situations occur, turn off and
unplug the unit immediately and contact Dimplex
customer services on 09 274 8265 (NZ) or
1300 556 816 (AUS)
- There is a loud or harsh sound coming from the
unit.
- Water is leaking excessively from the indoor unit.
- The air switch or protection switch is broken.
- Water is spilled into the unit.
- The power cable and plug are abnormally hot.
Turn the unit off immediately.

The pipe can be routed out the right side, the right back
corner, the left back corner, or the left side.
When routing the piping and/or wires out through the
1.
left or right sides, some trimming of the housing is
necessary (see Fig. 7).
If routing only the wires out the side, trim Housing 1.

When routing both the wiring and the piping out the
⑵
side, trim o Housing 1 and 2.
2.
Remove the piping from the case. Wrap the piping,
wires, and water pipe in electrical tape, then pull them
through the piping hole (see Fig. 8).
3.
Slide the mounting slots of the indoor unit onto the
mounting plate of the rear panel. Make sure it is secure
(see Fig. 9).
The unit should be installed at least 2.5 metres o the

Please note: The connecting pipe needs to be connected rst to the indoor unit, and then to the
outdoor unit. Do not bend or damage the connection pipe. Do not tighten the nut too tightly;
doing so may cause leakage in the future.

Pull the handle on the right hand side of the outdoor unit.
1.
Undo the clasp. Attach the power cable and signal control

wire to the terminal. The wiring should match that of the
indoor unit.
Attach the power cable to the wire clamp, then
3.
connect the corresponding connector.
Make sure all wires are properly connected.

5.
Reattach the handle.
PLEASE NOTE:
Incorrect wiring may cause the unit to malfunction.
Air purging and leakage test
1. Connect charging hose of manifold valve to the charge end of the low pressure
valve (both high/low pressure valves must be tightly shut).
2. Connect joint of charging hose to vacuum pump.
3. Fully open low pressure manifold valve.
4. Open the vacuum pump to evacuate. At the beginning, slightly
loosen joint nut of low pressure valve to check if there’s
air coming in. (If the vacuum pump noise has changed
and the reading on the multimeter is 0) Then tighten
the nut.
5. Keep evacuating for more than 15mins and make
5
sure the reading of multi-meter is
-1.0

(-76cmHg).
6. Fully open high/low pressure valves.
7. Remove charging hose from the low pressure valve.
8. Tighten low-pressure valve. (As shown in Fig 10).

3. Slide the air lter back into the unit. Lower the
front cover back into position and push gently
to close (see Figure d).
Fig. d
Cleaning and Maintenance
You can remove the air lter for cleaning purposes. You can use water or a
damp cloth to clean the normal air lter. However, Do Not clean the Silver Ion
lter in water. Only use a soft cloth or a brush to wipe o any dust or dirt.
None of the lters should be scrubbed with abrasive materials.
The Silver Ion lter is usable for approximately one year, if it is taken care of
properly. The silver ion lter must be replaced once it turns black or green.
