OPERATION MODES The electriQ Airflex 15 is the most flexible fully featured air conditioner on the market. When combined with the optional Comfort Kit, the air conditioner can be used in spaces where there is not enough space to fit a standard portable air conditioner, making it the perfect choice for Server Rooms, Small office spaces etc. The Airflex 15 can be placed outside the room to cool, on balconies, corridors, mezzanines etc.
The hose can be vented via a tilted window, a door or wall aperture. Make sure that no warm air from outside can enter the room. Set the function to “COOLING”. Set the target temperature using the temperature control. The target temperature range is selectable between 17°C and 30°C. The unit must only be used in an ambient temperature of up to 32°C. Note: After switching on, the compressor will only start after a 3 minute delay. For full cooling effect please allow a further 10 minutes of operation.
HEATING Be aware that on very cold days the unit should only be operated indoors. When the outside temperature gets colder, it will take longer to heat the room. We recommend that when you have achieved the desired temperature to leave the unit running on thermostatic control and it will maintain the temperature set very economically. To improve the heating effect we recommend you set the unit up for continuous drainage.
HEATING WHEN AC IS PLACED OUTDOORS (DUCTING THE HOT AIR INTO THE ROOM) Connect the air hose to the hot air outlet of the air conditioner after exchanging the grills if necessary. The air hose will send hot air into the room, while the front grills will expel cold air. The unit is placed outside the room to be heated. Outdoor operation is ideal for the autumn period in which outside temperatures do no fall below 10°C.
USING THE COMFORT KIT (AVAILABLE SEPERATELY) The optional Comfort Kit allows the air conditioner to be used in spaces where there is not enough space to fit a standard portable air conditioner. It allows the Airflex 15 to be placed outside the room to cool. The air conditioner can then cool or heat the space via the Comfort Kit which acts also as a wired remote and a remote extender for the original remote. By moving the unit outside the room the noise of the portable unit is significantly decreased.
DUAL DUCTING THE UNIT The Airflex 15 also supports dual ducting in both cooling and heating modes. This means the unit can operate with two hoses connected at the same time. To do this the unit should be set up with the Comfort Kit or a compatible gravity flap for sending cooled / heated air into the room, with a second pipe connected sending the waste air outside. I.e. in the winter the unit could duct the hot air into the room while ducting cold air outside, with the unit inside to increase performance.
WATER-DRAINAGE This model is an advanced self-evaporative air conditioner, which reduces the need to empty the water tank in cooling mode. If the unit is vented correctly most of the water is reused to cool the condenser coils and any excess is evaporated. As such for cooling mode, to ensure the unit runs at maximum efficiency, we would advise for continuous drainage not to be used.
MAINTENANCE CLEANING Please shut off the unit and unplug from the mains before cleaning or performing any maintenance CLEAN THE SURFACE Clean the plastic housing with a duster or a soft wet cloth. Do not use chemical solvents (such as benzene, alcohol or gasoline) as they may cause irreversible damage. AIR FILTER CLEANING a) Clean the air filter every 2 weeks. If the air filter is blocked with dust, the unit’s performance will be significantly affected.
