This document provides essential instructions for the Goldair 7K BTU 2.0kW Portable Air Conditioner (GCPAC200A). Key requirements include ensuring the unit stands upright for two hours after transport before use, installing the unit in a room larger than 7m², and maintaining proper clearance around the unit.
Components
The unit features a control panel on top, air outlet/louvers, handles, and casters for mobility. The rear houses the EVA filter, air vent, CON filter, and drainage holes. The exhaust pipe assembly and window sealing plate are included for installation.
Installation
The air conditioner must be installed on a flat surface with at least 300mm clearance on all sides, including the top. Do not install in bathrooms or humid environments.
- Exhaust Hose: Screw the heat pipe assembly counterclockwise into the exhaust port on the rear panel. The hose length should be between 280mm and 1500mm. Do not use extensions.
- Window Sealing Plate: Mount the assembly in the window (horizontal or vertical). Adjust the components to fit the window frame.
Operation
The unit operates in Cooling, Fan, or Dehumidifying modes. Ensure the unit is in the OFF setting before connecting to the mains. When powered on for the first time, it will beep and enter standby.
- Timer: Set to turn the unit ON or OFF from 1-24 hours.
- Temperature: Adjustable between 16-31°C (not available in fan or dehumidification modes). Press both Up and Down buttons to switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit.
- Fan Speed: Select between high or low in cooling/fan modes. Dehumidification mode defaults to low speed.
- Sleep Mode: Activated by pressing Up and Fan Speed buttons simultaneously. The fan is set to low, and the temperature rises by 1°C after one hour and another 1°C after the second hour.
Care and Maintenance
Regular maintenance is required for optimal performance.
- Drainage: The unit can be drained manually by removing the water plug at the bottom or via a continuous drainage hose connected to the top drain hole.
- Cleaning: Clean the EVA filter screen in warm water with neutral detergent (approx. 40°C) and dry in the shade. Never use the unit without the air filter.
- Exterior: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth or slightly damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or spray with water.
Troubleshooting
If the unit does not work, check for power, ensure the water-full indicator is not flashing (drain if necessary), and verify the ambient temperature is between 7-35°C. For E1 or E2 error codes, the temperature sensors may be abnormal; contact an authorized service technician.
