To set up your Carlton CPA12KH Air Conditioner, first unbox the unit and remove all packaging materials. Place the air conditioner near a window and install the window kit as per the instructions in the manual. Connect the exhaust hose to the back of the unit and the window kit. Plug the unit into a power outlet and turn it on using the control panel or remote control.
If the air conditioner is not cooling properly, check if the air filter is clean and not blocked. Ensure that all windows and doors are closed to prevent cool air from escaping. Verify that the temperature setting is lower than the current room temperature. If issues persist, inspect the exhaust hose for any kinks or obstructions.
The air filter should be cleaned every two weeks during heavy usage. To clean the filter, turn off the unit and unplug it. Remove the filter from the back of the unit, wash it with warm soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and allow it to dry completely before reinstalling.
To store the air conditioner during the off-season, first, drain any water from the unit and clean the filter. Coil the power cord and secure it neatly. Cover the unit with a breathable fabric cover to protect it from dust, and store it in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing it in damp areas to prevent mold and mildew.
