4. Configuración e instalación

The KPAC1811-2 is designed for ease of installation. Follow these steps for proper setup:

1. Desembalaje: Retire con cuidado la unidad de su embalaje. Inspeccione si presenta daños durante el envío.
2. Colocación: Position the unit on a level surface. Ensure adequate clearance around the unit for proper airflow (refer to Figure 4 for condenser air inlet/outlet locations).
3. Conexión eléctrica: Connect the power cord (6) to a dedicated 115V / 20Amp 1 pH grounded outlet.
4. Cold Air Supply: Attach the flexible air chutes (8) to the cold air supply outlets (3) on the unit. Direct the chutes towards the area requiring cooling.
5. Hot Air Exhaust (Optional but Recommended): For optimal performance and to prevent heat recirculation, it is recommended to duct the hot air exhaust from the condenser air outlet (5) to an adjacent room or outdoors.
6. Tanque de condensado: Ensure the condensate tank (7) is properly seated inside the unit. The unit will automatically collect condensed water in this tank.

5. Operación

Once installed, operating the KPAC1811-2 is straightforward:

1. Encendido: Enchufe la unidad en la toma de corriente adecuada.
2. Panel de control: Use the control panel (2) to power on the unit and set the desired temperature. Refer to the specific controls on the unit for detailed temperature adjustment and mode selection.
3. Dirección del flujo de aire: Adjust the flexible air chutes (8) to direct the cold air precisely where it is needed.
4. Gestión de condensados: The unit will collect condensate in the internal tank. Monitor the tank and empty it when full to prevent automatic shutdown.

6. Mantenimiento

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficient operation of your spot cooler.

• Emptying the Condensate Tank: The condensate tank (7) should be emptied regularly. The frequency depends on humidity levels. The unit may have an indicator or automatic shut-off when the tank is full.
• Limpieza de filtros de aire: The air filters (visible on the front grille, Cold Air Return (1)) should be cleaned periodically to maintain airflow and cooling efficiency. Disconnect power, remove filters, clean with mild detergent and water, dry thoroughly, and reinsert.
• Limpieza de la bobina: Periodically inspect the evaporator and condenser coils for dust and debris. If heavily soiled, professional cleaning may be required.
• Limpieza general: Limpie el exterior de la unidad con un paño suave yamp paño. No utilice productos químicos agresivos ni limpiadores abrasivos.
