Information about the device

Device description

The device serves the purpose of cooling the room air. It further filters and dehumidifies the air thus creating an agreeable room climate.
The unit cools the room air by withdrawing warmth. The absorbed warmth is emitted to the outside via the exhaust air hose; cooled air is fed to the installation site by means of a fan.
Accumulating condensate drips from the evaporator onto the hot condenser, there it evaporates and then is transported to the outside via the exhaust air hose.
In ventilation mode the device provides the opportunity of air circulation without cooling effect.
In dehumidification mode moisture is withdrawn from the air. The device operates fully automatically and features a variety of
further options. The device can, for instance, be switched on or off automatically with time delay via the timer function.
Operation of the device is possible either via the control panel at the device or via the supplied infrared remote control.
The device was designed for universal and flexible application. Due to its compact dimensions it can be easily transported and
used in all interior spaces.

Warning
Ensure that the air filters are neither worn nor damaged. The corners and edges of the air filters must not be deformed or rounded. Before reinserting the air filters, make sure that they are undamaged and dry!
1. Remove the air filters from the device.

Refrigerant circuit

The entire refrigerant circuit is a maintenance-free, hermetically sealed system and may only be maintained or repaired by specialist companies for cooling and air­conditioning or by Trotec.
2. Clean the filters using a slightly damp, soft, lint-free cloth. If the filters are heavily contaminated, clean them with warm water mixed with a neutral cleaning agent.
3. Allow the filters to dry completely. Do not put any wet filters into the device!
4. Reinsert the air filters into the device.

Condensate discharge (manual draining)

12
12
In cooling and dehumidification mode condensate is formed, which is mostly discharged via the exhaust air.
The remaining condensate is collected in a container within the housing. The condensate ought to be drained regularly.
If too much condensate accumulates, the device switches off and indicates this via the FL indication on the segment display(29).
1. Carefully transport or wheel the device to a suitable location for discharging the condensate (e.g. a drain) or position a suitable collection container under the condensate outlet(12).
2. Unscrew the sealing cap from the condensate outlet(12).
3. Remove the rubber plug.
5. Let the condensate run off completely.
6. Reattach the rubber stopper to the condensate outlet(12). Check the rubber stopper for tight fit.
7. Screw the sealing cap onto the condensate outlet(12).
4. Slightly tilt or incline the device towards the drain or collection container.
ð The FL indication on the segment display(29) will go out as
soon as the condensate has been drained.

Activities required after maintenance

If you want to continue using the device:
Leave the device to rest for 12to24hours, so the refrigerant can accumulate within the compressor. Wait 12to24hours before switching the device back on! Acting contrary might lead to compressor damage and a malfunctioning device. If so, any warranty claims will be voided.
Reconnect the device to the mains.
If you do not intend to use the device for a considerable time:
Store the device according to the Storage chapter.
