IMPORTANT

•

Carefully read the instructions before operating the unit.

•

This appliance is for indoor use only.

•

Rating: This unit must be only connected to a 220-240 V / 50 Hz

earthed outlet.

•

Installation must be in accordance with the regulations of the

country where the unit is used.

•

If you are in any doubt about the suitability of your electrical supply

have it checked and, if necessary, modified by a qualified

electrician.

•

This air conditioner has been tested and is safe to use. However,

as with any electrical appliance - use it with care.

•

Disconnect the power from the appliance before dismantling,

assembling or cleaning.

•

Avoid touching any moving parts within the appliance.

•

Never insert fingers, pencils or any other objects though the guard.

•

This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and

above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental

capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been

given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in

a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall

not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall

not be made by children without supervision.

•

Do not clean the unit by spraying it or immersing it in water.

•

Never connect the unit to an electrical outlet using an extension

cord. If an outlet is not available, one should be installed by a

qualified electrician.

•

Never operate this appliance if the cord or plug is damaged.

Ensure the power cord is not stretched or exposed to sharp

objects or edges.

•

A damaged supply cord should be replaced by the manufacturer

or a qualified electrician in order to avoid a hazard.

•

Any service other than regular cleaning or filter replacement

should be performed by an authorized service representative.

Failure to comply could result in a voided warranty.

•

Do not use the appliance for any purpose other than its intended

use.

•

The air conditioner must always be stored and transported upright,

otherwise irreparable damage may be caused to the compressor;

if in doubt we suggest waiting at least 24 hours before starting the

unit.

•

Avoid restarting the air conditioner unless 5 minutes have passed

since being turned off. This prevents damage to the compressor.

•

Never use the mains plug as a switch to start and turn

off

the air

conditioner. Use the provided ON/OFF button located on the

control panel.

•

Always place the unit on a dry and stable surface.

•

The appliance should not be installed in laundry or wet rooms.

Energy Saving and Unit Safety Protection Tips

•

Do not cover or restrict the airflow from the outlet or inlet grills.

•

For maximum performance the minimum distance from a wall or

objects should be minimum 50cm.

•

Keep the filters clean. Under normal conditions, filters should only

need cleaning once every three weeks (approximately). Since the

filters remove airborne particles, more frequent cleaning may be

necessary, depending on the air quality.

•

For the initial startup set the fan speed to maximum and the

thermostat to 4-5 degrees lower than the current temperature. After,

set the fan switch to low and set the thermostat to your desired

setting.

•

To protect the unit we recommend not using the cooling function

when the ambient temperature is higher than 35 ℃.

INSTALLATION

Warning：Before using this unit, please keep it upright for at least 3-4 hours.

This unit can easily be moved from one room to another.

While moving the unit please note that it must be kept upright and then placed on an even

surface. 1.Extend one end of the hose

and connect the hose

connector, by twisting it a

number of full rotations.

2.In the same way connect the

fishtail adapter to the opposite

end of the exhaust hose.

3. Twist the hose connector into the exhaust outlet on the rear

of the unit.

INSTALLATION OF WINDOW KIT The window kit (slide bar and fishtail)

can be used with sliding windows and

doors. For other types of window, the

fishtail should be used on its own.

1.Partially open the window and then fix

the window kit to fill the opening in the

window.

2. Make sure the unit is upright and there are no obstructions

to the air inlet grills.

3. With the hose and

fishtail adaptor

connected to the

unit, push the end of

the fishtail adaptor

into the slot in the

slide bar.

NOTES:

To ensure efficient operation the opening should be as small as possible.

The best form of installation is through a wall duct.

The unit will need to be externally in heating mode (AC12HP only), ideally through the

wall. By properly venting you expel cold air from your room while efficiently heating it.

Your air conditioner should be used without a vent hose in dehumidifier mode. Please

ensure an external water tank is used, monitored and regularly emptied before over

spilling. Permanent plumbing can be also installed in dehumidifier mode, alternatively an

external water pump can be fitted for unattended use.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

The length of the soft hose extends from 28 cm to 150 cm. If the hose is extended above

this length the unit may malfunction and this can invalidate the warranty.

The outlet vent must be well ventilated and not obstructed as this will cause the unit to

overheat. Avoid bending the hose more than 30°.

WATER-DRAINAGE

MANUAL DRAINAGE

When the internal water tank is full the unit will stop working.

Shut off the unit and unplug. Avoid moving the model abruptly as

this may cause water to spill from the internal tank.

Place a tray under the water plug.

Unscrew the Drain plug cap and remove the rubber stopper - water

will drain from the internal tank.

Put the rubber stopper back and screw the drain plug cap back into

place.

CONTINUOUS DRAINAGE:

Unscrew the drain plug cap and remove the rubber stopper. Fit the

drain connector within the cap

Connect a suitable pipe to the water outlet to remove the water out

continuously.

Note: This model is self-evaporative, which reduces the need to empty

the water tank.

If the unit is vented correctly most of the water is reused to cool the

condenser coils and any excess is evaporated.

Please do not use continuous drainage if you intend to use the self-

evaporate facility.

MAINTENANCE

CLEANING

Turn off the unit and unplug from the mains before cleaning or performing any maintenance.

CLEAN THE SURFACE

Clean the plastic housing with a duster or a soft wet cloth.
