Energy efficiency tips

  • Avoid direct sunlight
    Close blinds, drapes, or shades to keep out direct sunlight while in cooling mode.
  • Keep the filter clean
    Keeping the filter clean greatly aids efficient operation. A dirty filter blocks the flow of air, making your air conditioner work harder and less efficiently. See page 15 on how to clean the filter.
  • Turn off unnecessary lights
    Your air conditioner must remove the heat produced by your lights or other heat-producing appliances. Turn off any lights or appliances that are not in use.
  • Turn off the air conditioner when no one is home
    Use only when necessary. The less time the air conditioner is used, the lower the running costs.

Location

  • The air conditioner should be placed on a firm foundation to minimize noise and vibration. For safe and secure positioning, place the unit on a smooth, level floor strong enough to support the unit.
  • The unit has casters to aid placement, but it should only be rolled on smooth, flat surfaces. Use caution when rolling on carpet surfaces. Do not attempt to roll the unit over objects.
  • The unit must be placed within reach of a properly rated earthed socket.
  • Never place any obstacles around the air inlet or outlet of the unit.
  • Allow at least 30 cm of space on either side of the wall for efficient air-conditioning.

Maintenance

Be sure to switch off and disconnect the power from the wall socket before performing maintenance.

Cleaning the filters
If the filter is clogged with dust, the airflow will be reduced, resulting in poor cooling performance. The filter should be cleaned every two weeks.

  1. Remove the filters
    • Gently pull the filter handle to the right and slide the filter out of the unit.
  2. Clean the filters
    • Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any dust. If the filters are very dirty, wash them with detergent and rinse carefully with clean lukewarm water. Dry the filters in the shade before reinstalling them.
  3. Reinstall the filters
    • Hold the filter handle and gently push the filter back into place. Never operate the unit without the filter. Doing so may result in serious damage to the unit.

Electrolux EXP09CS1WI User Manual (14)

Cleaning the unit and the remote control
Wipe with a soft, dry cloth or with a cloth moistened with a mild soap. Carefully remove any residue by wiping with a damp cloth and dry completely. Avoid splashing water onto the unit. Water can dangerously damage the electrical insulation.

Never use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners on any part of the unit. To avoid damaging the unit, do not use hot water (not greater than 50°C) when cleaning.

Cleaning the insect guard net

The cooling performance may be reduced or stopped completely if the insect guard net becomes clogged with dust. Clean the insect guard net with a vacuum cleaner or such.

Electrolux EXP09CS1WI User Manual (15)

Maintenance after air conditioner season

  1. Perform drainage to drain out water within the unit. (See page 19 “When the unit is not used for a long time”).
  2. Operate the unit in FAN or VENTILATION mode for about half a day to thoroughly dry inside the unit.
  3. Clean the filters, then reinstall them.

Before calling for service

If the unit appears to be malfunctioning, check the following points before calling for service.

The air conditioner does not operate at all

  • Is the unit plugged in or is the plug loose?
  • Has the fuse blown or has the circuit breaker tripped?
  • Did you restart the unit within 3 minutes of a power failure? If the power was off for less than 3 minutes when,  you restarted the air conditioner, a protective device may cause the compressor to shut off, preventing cooling for about 5 minutes.
  • Are the OPERATION and TIMER lamps on the unit blinking? If so, the water tank inside the unit is full. It must be drained.

Sounds

  • The unit may seem rather loud for the first 2 to 3 minutes when turned on. This is the sound of the compressor starting up and is perfectly normal.
  • A soft, swishing noise can be heard immediately after the unit is turned on or off, and also during operation. This is the sound of the refrigerant flowing inside the unit.
  • A low buzzing noise is emitted when the unit is generating Plasmacluster ions.
  • This air conditioner evaporates water condensed during cooling operation within the unit through the exhaust air outlet. Although a water-flowing sound may be heard, this is normal.
  • An audible gurgling sound may be heard for about a minute upon starting MANUAL mode. This is the sound of the drainage pump operating inside the unit.
  • An audible gurgling sound may be heard when the unit is operated on a gently sloping floor. Place the unit on a level floor.

The timer does not work properly

  • If a power failure occurs while the TIMER is set, the TIMER setting will be canceled and will not be retrieved even after the power is restored. This is normal for this unit.

The unit fails to react to the remote control signal

  • Check the batteries in the remote control. Replace if necessary.
  • Try to send the signal again with the remote control pointed directly at the unit’s signal receiver window.
  • Check whether the remote control batteries are installed with the polarities properly orientated.

The discharged air has an odor

  • This is the smell of ozone generated from the Plasmacluster Ion generator. The ozone concentration is very small, posing no adverse effect on your health. The ozone discharged into the air rapidly decomposes, and its density in the room will not increase beyond acceptable levels.

FAQs About Electrolux EXP09CS1WI

What is the capacity of BTUs?

An energy unit is the British Thermal Unit or BTU. It is about equivalent to the energy required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree. One match’s worth of energy, or 1,055 joules, 252 calories, or 0.293 watt-hours, equals one BTU. 3.412 BTU is the equivalent of 1 watt per hour.

Is it possible to vacuum the AC filter?

You can install a replacement air filter on your own if it fits your air conditioning equipment. With a gentle cleaning cloth, warm water, mild detergent, and a wet-dry vacuum, you may also clean it by yourself.

How is the BTU determined?

To get BTUs per hour, just multiply the total wattage by 3.412. As an illustration: 3.412 × 1000 Watt heater = 3,412 BTUs per hour.

How do BTUs operate?

A measure of the heat content of fuels or energy sources is the British thermal unit (Btu). The amount of heat needed to raise one pound of liquid water’s temperature by one degree Fahrenheit (F) at the temperature where water has its highest density—roughly 39° F—is equal to one Btu.

What is an hourly BTU?

British Thermal Units per Hour, or BTUH for short, is a measuring unit used to express the power of an air conditioner. It calculates how much heat is evacuated from a space in an hour (in BTUs).

How is the AC ton determined?

Multiply the number of square feet you are cooling by 25 to get an estimate of the AC tonnage you will require. This is the total BTUs required to cool your area to a suitable degree. Then, divide that figure by 12,000 to get the required tonnage capacity for your new air conditioner.

How is tonnage calculated?

Tonnage refers to the total number of registered or carried tons in ships, as well as the total carrying capacity. The formula GT = K1V is used to compute gross tonnage, where V is the enclosed space volume of a ship in cubic meters and K1 is a constant that can be found using K1 = 0.2 + 0.02 log10 V.

What are condenser and coil?

The AC condenser and evaporator coils cooperate to provide the cooling comfort we frequently take for granted in the world of air conditioning. The condenser coil dissipates heat outdoors while the evaporator coil cools the air within.

Can I operate my AC without a filter?

It is not advised to use your air conditioner for any length of time without an air filter because it might permanently harm your HVAC system. Normally absorbed by the filter, dirt, and dust can find their way into the air conditioning system and cause severe damage to its mechanical components, often necessitating costly repairs.

What purpose does the AC cabin filter serve?

By serving as a barrier between you and the outside environment, the cabin air filter keeps dirt, pollen, smog, and other dangerous particles from penetrating the inside of your car. This keeps you and your passengers in a more pleasant and healthy atmosphere.
