Maintenance - Sealey Sac5000 Manual

6.3. AUTOMATIC DEFROST
During use if operating at low room temperatures frost may build up at the evaporator. The POWER indicator will start to blink and the
unit will automatically begin to defrost.
The defrost control sequence is as follows:
A. If operating the unit in either the cooling or drying mode, the ambient temperature sensor senses that the evaporator coil
temperature is below -1ºC the compressor will stop. It will restart again, in the COOL mode, after 10 minutes or when the coil reaches
the temperature of 7ºC.
B. If operating the unit in the drying mode, the coil temperature sensor senses that the temperature of the evaporator is below 40ºC
and the differential temperature between the coil temperature and the ambient room temperature is below 19ºC and the compressor
has been in operation for twenty minutes the unit will start defrosting for five minutes and the POWER indicator will begin to blink.
6.4. OVERLOAD PROTECTION
If there is a loss of power, to protect the compressor, there is a three minute delay until the compressor will restart.
6.5. MANUAL DRAINAGE
NOTE: When the unit is full of water it will automatically shut off.
6.5.1. Switch off the unit and remove the electrical plug from it's power source.
6.5.2. With care move the unit to suitable location to enable a container to be located below the
bottom drainage hole (fig.1 #5).
6.5.3. With the container in place remove the drain plug (fig.12).
WARNING! The water will flow out instantly from the drainage hole.
‰
6.5.4. When the unit has completely drained replace the drain plug back fully into the drainage
hole.
NOTE: To assist with drainage the unit can be slightly tilted backwards to allow the drain
plug to be re-inserted if the container becomes full.
6.5.5. Replace the electric plug into the power source and re-start the appliance in the desired
mode.
WARNING! Ensure that the drain plug is fully inserted, otherwise the condensate water will
‰
flow out onto the floor.
6.6. CONTINUOUS DRAINAGE
To provide a more efficient performance the self-evaporating system uses the collected
water to cool the condenser coils.
It is recommended not to use the continuous drain method in the cooling mode.
The condensate water evaporates at the condenser and is expelled through the exhaust
hose.
6.6.1. Switch off the unit and remove the electrical plug from it's power source.
6.6.2. Release the cover from the water outlet opening (fig.13).
6.6.3. With care push fit one end of the drain hose onto the water outlet (fig.13).
6.6.4. Securely place the other end of the drain hose over a suitably sized container or drain.
6.7. TO AVOID WATER SPILLAGE:
WARNING! Ensure that the drain hose is straight and free from any kinks and at an
‰
inclination angle downwards of not more than 20º.
DO NOT allow the open end of the drain hose to be submerged into the water. This may
8
cause an air lock in the hose.
NOTE: The condensate water will automatically flow into the container or drain.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING! Switch off the unit and remove the electrical plug from it's mains supply.
‰
NOTE: Maintenance, service and repair must be carried out by qualified person. Contact
your Sealey stockist for details.
The removal of the plug has to be such that an operator can check from any of the points to
9
which they have access that the plug remains removed.
Switch off and disconnect unit from the mains before attempting any cleaning or other
9
maintenance work.
Ensure that the unit is turned off correctly when not in use, and stored in a safe, dry area,
9
out of reach of children.
7.1. CLEANING
7.1.1. Clean the unit with soft damp cloth.
DO NOT use solvents.
8
7.2. CLEANING THE AIR FILTER
The air filter requires regular cleaning. A restricted airflow will reduce the efficiency of the
system.
It is recommended that air filter is cleaned every two weeks.
DO NOT operate the unit without an air filter.
8
7.2.1. Switch off the unit and remove the electrical plug from it's power source.
7.2.2. Remove the filter mesh from the unit (fig.1 #4).
7.2.3. Use a household vacuum to remove any dust from the filter.
7.2.4. Turn the filter over and rinse the filter under running water (fig.14).
7.2.5. Allow the filter to dry before reinstalling.
WARNING! DO NOT touch the evaporator surface with bare-hand, or could cause injury of
‰
your fingers.
