Portable air conditioner unit – BT-12000RC Operating Instructions

Also called – room air conditioner, mobile air conditioner

This mobile room air conditioner adjusts the temperature and humidity in a room. Its flexibility makes it easy to use in different applications and to cool various rooms. This mobile air conditioner unit is designed to cool office or computer rooms. This air conditioner allows you to control the 4 factors that determine optimal comfort in a room -

1. Humidity rate- humidity in a room can cause a sensation of heat in the summer. The air conditioner not only cools the temperature, but dehumidifies the air as well.
2. Temperature-The main function of an air conditioner is to draw hot air out of the room.
3. Air purity-The air filter removes dust particles from the room air, creating a healthier room atmosphere.
4. Airflow-The air conditioner regulates the airflow allowing the flow to be directed and ensuring optimal air circulation.

Note: Avoid being directly in front of the cold airflow and do not direct it onto people. To ensure the optimal efficiency of the unit, we advise you keep doors and windows closed, and to take into account the surface of the walls and windows exposed to sunlight. In this case and in order to optimise the functioning of your mobile air conditioning unit we recommend partially closing the window coverings.

Continuous Drain Features
There are two continuous drain features in this mobile air conditioner unit

1. The drain at the side of the unit (A) runs through the exhaust hose and offers continuous drainage via a built-in pump. When the cap is on the drain at the bottom of the unit (B) and the condensation tank fills to capacity, the drain (A)’s pump will automatically turn on and pump the condensation out of the unit. If the exhaust hose is installed more than 5.9 feet above the ground, drain (A)’s pump will not work and the condensation must be drained from drain (B)
2. Drain (B) is located at the bottom rear of the unit and offers continuous drainage via gravity. To use drain (B), place a shallow pan underneath the drain outlet and remove the rubber cap. In order to avoid spilling water while moving the unit from room to room, please drain the condensation via drain (B) before moving the unit. In addition, whenever you will not be using the unit for an extended period of time, such as at the end of the season, again use drain (B) to make sure the condensation is completely drained from the unit

When the humidity in the room is 50% or lower, the compressor will not run, the unit will not dehumidify and the dehumidifier light will blink. Remember, the exhaust hose does not need to be used in dehumidifier mode

NOTE: This unit has a three-minute compressor delay protection circuit. Thus, the compressor may take up to three minutes to start from either being switched on or when changing between the dehumidification and air conditioning functions.
If there is a power interruption while the unit is operating, the unit will not turn back on automatically when the power is restored. The unit must be turned back on manually. The unit is designed with this safety feature to protect the compressor.

Cleaning this mobile airconditioner unit
Before cleaning the unit, turn it off and unplug it from the outlet. For safety reasons, never wash the conditioner
Exterior Surfaces of the Unit

• Clean the air conditioner by using a damp sponge, and dry it with a clean, soft cloth
• Never use alcohol or any product containing solvents

Air Filters
The air filters located on the back of the unit collect dust contained in the air. The air conditioning unit must ALWAYS be used with the air filters

• The build up of dust reduces the efficiency of the air conditioner. Therefore, the air filters must be cleaned every two weeks, and more often if the machine operates in a dusty atmosphere
• If the filters are obstructed the air conditioner will be less efficient
• Each air filter has a tab in the centre and is secured to the unit by two clips on the top and two clips on the bottom of the filter. Remove the air filters with the unit switched off, by pulling the tab towards you
• Clean the air filters with a vacuum cleaner. If the filters are very dirty you can wash them in warm water (never use hot soapy water). Make sure that the air filters are completely dry before putting them back into the unit
• Do not bend the filters
