INTRODUCTION

Thank you for choosing a Dimplex portable air conditioner.This manual contains

information, regulations and warnings which are of fundamental importance if the

appliance is to be installed correctly and the highest performance, in the safest possible

conditions is to be obtained.We suggest that you read the manual carefully before

installing or starting up the appliance.

These new Dimplex appliances represent the most highly developed air conditioning

units available today.

FEATURES

The air-conditioning unit is of the mono tube type, transportable (on wheels) with air/air

operating system for domestic use and has 3 settings.

•Ventilate/Fan.

•Cool.

•Dehumidify.

The ventilation mode "moves" the air allowing for its recycling much like a fan.

The cooling mode, a refrigerating circuit (compressor), cools the room by transferring

the heat from inside to outside though the air exhaust hose.While cooling, the air-

conditioning unit also dehumidifies the room air.

Dehumidification, in the cooling mode your air-conditioner does remove moisture from

the air however another feature of this machine it can be set up to operate as a

dehumidifier with greater moisture removal performance.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

•The air conditioning unit must always be stored and transported upright, otherwise

you may cause irreparable damage to the compressor; in case of doubt we suggest

you wait for at least 24 hours before you start the air-conditioning unit.

•Avoid restarting the air conditioning unit unless 4 minutes have passed since its turned

off or the compressor may get damaged.

•Never use the mains plug as a switch to start and turn off the air conditioning unit.

Use the provided ON/OFF switch located on the control panel.

•Always place the portable air conditioner on a stable surface.

•Connect the portable air conditioner to a correct wall socket.

•Mount the exhaust hose on the portable air conditioner.

•The air conditioning unit should only be used by adults: do not allow children to play

with it.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

•Do not cover or restrict the airflow from the Outlet or Inlet grills.

The minimum distance from furniture and walls should be 50cm.

•Keep blinds and/or draperies on any windows, closed during the sunniest part of the

day.

•Keep the filter and side vent clean. Under normal conditions, the filters should be

cleaned approximately every 30 days. Since the filters remove airborne particles, more

frequent cleaning maybe necessary, depending on the indoor air quality.

•Set the fan speed switch to high cool and the thermostat to the coolest position for

the initial start-up, then set the Fan switch to low cool and lower the thermostat to a

comfortable setting.

ACCESSORIES

INSTALLATION

Mounting of the unit

This unit is a PORTABLE AIR CONDITIONER. It can be moved from room to room, so

the cooling can follow you anywhere.The mounting is easy, beneath a window or wall.

Please refer to either of the following ways -

1. Using the foam strips

•Connect the supplied foam

strips with the exhaust pipe,

allowing the hot air to flow to

the outside.

•Should the foam strip(s) be

too large, cut off the extra

part to fit the window.

•Minimum distance from the

wall should be 50cm.

OFF

Dimplex DAC12005_9005.qxd 7/5/05 3:34 PM Page 5

2. Using the round window

connectors.

•Make a hole to suit adaptor on

the wall/glass to fit the

supplied round window

connector.

•Take off the adaptor (the

one which does not connect

with the unit), fit the hose

directly to the round window

connector. DAC 9005

•When the hole is not in use.

Use the cap for the round

window connector to cover

the hole.

Mounting of the exhaust pipe

1. The supplied exhaust hose can be extended

from 50cm to 150cm for mounting. It is

recommended that you use the hose in the

shortest possible length.

2. Take care to prevent any bow or bend in

the middle of the exhaust hose, as this will

trap hot exhaust air, which will radiate into

the room and cause this unit to shut itself

off due to overheating.

WARNING!

The length of the exhaust pipe is specially

designed according to the specification of this

product. Do not replace or extend it with your own

private hose as this could cause the unit to

malfunction AND

ADDING WATER

An added feature of these models.

Humidity absorbed from the air condenses at the Evaporator, turns into water and is

collected in the internal tank.When enough water is collected it is pumped up and over

the condenser, assisting the cooling of the refrigerated gas, increasing the COOLING

CAPACITY. Some of this recycled water is evaporated at the condenser and expelled

from the machine as water vapour though the exhaust hose.

To utilise the full potential of your air conditioner from initial start up, we recommend

that 800 mls of water be added to the internal water tank via the small draw located at

the rear bottom left side of the machine.

Normally an adequate quantity of water is

collected to keep the recycling process

operating.

During very humid conditions the collection

of water may over take the evaporation rate

and the internal tank may become full.

The maximum water level in the tank is

controlled by a float and micro switch, when

the preset level is exceeded the Full Water

indicator light will illuminate and the

compressor will shut off automatically, the fan

motor will stay on circulating the air.

At this time, you must empty the water tank

as described “Drainage” page 9.

However during low humidity it maybe necessary to add more water to the internal

tank to increase the cooling capacity.

If there is any doubt regards the quantity of water in the tank we suggest

that you drain the tank and start again adding the 800 mls.

Turning ON/OFF

•Set TIMER to ON for continuous

operation (the unit will operate as

long as it is not turned off). Power

indicator comes on.

•To turn off the unit, turn the TIMER

to OFF position.

Set Timer

Set the TIMER to the desired operating time (1 to

8 hours).When the set time has been reached, the

machine will shut off automatically.

Setting the Temperature

Turn the THERMOSTAT to regulate the

temperature you desired. (This is for cooling

mode only.)

Regulating air flow direction

Turn the roller on air vent to control the air flow

direction of the vertical louvres. (only DAC 9005)

Move the air vent directly to adjust the air flow

direction of the horizontal louvres.

NOTICE!

To prolong the compressor’s life, the compressor will only work 3 minutes after you switch the

unit on or re-switch on.The cooling system will switch off if the ambient temperature is lower

than the set one.The ventilation however, keeps working on the set level. If the ambient

temperature rises above the selected level, the cooling will return to work.

DRAINAGE IN HIGH HUMIDITY CONDITIONS -

AND STORAGE ONLY

During the process of cooling, water will be generated from the air and collected in the

water tank inside the unit.When the tank is full, the compressor will stop and the Full

Water indicator on the control panel will come on to remind you to empty

the water tank. During this time the fan

will continue to operate circulating the air.

The water tank should be emptied as

follows:

1. Turn off the unit.

2. Position the supplied plastic water tray,

flat on the floor, under the drain hole.

3. Remove the water stopper and the

rubber plug. Empty the condensed

water from the air conditioner.

4. When the water tray is almost full,

replace the rubber plug to stop the

flow of water, empty the water tray.

5. Repeat step 2, 3, 4, till all the condensed

water is emptied.

6. After all condensed water is drained,

replace the rubber plug and water

stopper.

The FULL WATER indicator should be off now.

ATTENTION!

1. All condensed water must be drained prior to relocation or storage.
