First, you need to know the size of the room.You can measuring it by multiplying the length and width of the room in metre. Then, multiple the value with Standard Cooling Load Estimation which is 800. For example, if you room is 3 metres wide and 5 metres in length, the appropriate Air Cond. BTU should be 3*5*800 = 12,000 BTU. However, there are also other factors that affect the Cooling Load Estimation. These include room type ( bedroom, living room or kitchen), room location (close to heat source or not) For example, if the room gets the sunlight the whole day, the Cooling Load Estimation used in calculation should be 900 instead of 800.
What is the difference between Inverter and Non- Inverter?
An Inverter air cond. is made up of a variable compressor speed which is not to allow the compressor to run at full power all the time. Unlike the non-inverters, inverter air conditioners do not automatically turn on and off every time they reach certain temperature limits; instead, they just cruise along maintaining and adjusting the temperature constantly. With the inverter operation, the cooling is automated in an energy-efficient, smooth manner and quite oepration. As for non-inverters, the air conditioner is operated by simply being switched on or off in controlling it temperature. The compressor motor here controls the compressor as needed. A constant amount of energy is delivered to the compressor which causes it to run at a fixed speed. This results in less enegy efficient as compared to the inverters. Moreover, the non-inverter model usually turns on and off any time they reach a certain temperature which is considered to be their limitation. Also, the system is made to work harder and is also made to produce a whole lot of noise as a result of working harder.
What is the lifetime usage of PM2.5 Wasabi Filter and how to clean it?
PM2.5 Wasabi Filter is estimated to have 1 year lifetime usage. However, this also depends on personal usage. The filter should be changed if its colour start to change to grey. The filter can be cleaned by vacumm cleaner. Do not wash by rinsing water.
Can Frost Wash be operated while the air conditioner is in ON mode?
The models that have Automatic Frost Wash, Frost Wash can only be operated while the air conditioner is in OFF mode and when there is no person in the room. The models with Manual Frost Wash, Frost Wash can only be operated when the air conditioner is in OFF mode and Frost Wash button is manually pressed by user only.
What is the warranty condition of Hitachi Air Conditioner?
-Compressor of inverter air conditioner = 10 years from purchase date - Compressor of other air conditioner = 7 years from purchase date - Condenser and Evaporator of air conditioner = 4 years from purchase date - PCB board = 1 year from purchase date ( This covers damage from reptiles or insects)
How often should the Frost Wash be operated?
It is recommended to have the Frost Wash operated every 2 weeks. Not operating Frost Wash for a long period of time would cause accumulation of dust or partricles which would be difficult to be removed.
How often should the Pre Filter be cleaned?
It is recommended to clean the pre filter every 2 weeks or every 200 hours of usage or when the indicator lights in order to prevent the prefilter to become dusty. Dusty air filter will reduce the air volume and the cooling efficiency which will lead to electric energy wasting eventually.
What should we do with air conditioner in case of lightning occur?
To prevent the whole unit during lightning, please stop operating the air conditioner and turn off the circuit breaker.
What should we do with the air condioner that has not been operating for a long time?
When the indoor unit is not to be used for a long period of time, please swith off the power from the mains. If the power from the mains remains ON, the indoor unit stills comsumes about 2.5W in the operation control circuit even if it is in OFF mode.
What should we checked when the air conditioner does not operate?
1. Check if the circuit breaker is ON 2. Check the baterry of remote control and check whether the remote control can be used or not 3. Check the Indoor Unit Indicators, refer to the user manual if there is any lamp lights or contact your service agents.
What should we check when the air conditioner does not cool well?
1. Is the filter cleaned? 2. Does the sunlight fall directly on to outdoor unit? 3. Is the air flow of the outdoor unit obstructed? 4. Are the doors or windows opened, or is there any source of heat in the room? 5. Is the set temperature suitable? 6. Is your house electricity system in normal operation?
Why is there some steam leaking from the door during cooking?
A small amount of steam may be emitted, this is not abnormal.
What to do if we do not wish to use Automatic Frost Wash?
On the remote control, press REFRESH and FROTWASH buttons simultananeously for 3 seconds until you hear Beep Beep sound.
What should we do if there is odor coming out of the indoor air conitioning unit?
It is recommended to decrease the room temperature to be lower than outside temperature and the odor should disappear. If the odor still come out, please contact your service agent.
