Introduction.

Thank you for choosing a Dimplex portable reverse cycle 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 portable 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 functions.

•Ventilate/Fan.

•Cool.

•Heat.

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.

Reverse cycle operation transforms your air conditioner into a room heater.

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.

•If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by an approved service

representative or a similar qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

•The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without

supervision.

•Young children or infirm persons should be supervised to ensure that they do not

play with the appliance.

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 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.

•Set the fan speed switch to high heat and the thermostat to the hottest position for

the initial start-up.When the room has stabilized, set the Fan switch to low heat and

adjust the thermostat to a comfortable setting.

•Please read the instructions carefully and save them in a safe place for future reference.

ACCESSORIES.

INSTALLATION

Positioning of the unit

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

the cooling or heating can follow you anywhere.The installation 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 or cold 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.

2. Using the round window

connectors.

•Make a hole (diameter

130mm) in the wall/glass to

fit the supplied round

window connector.

•Fit the hose directly to the

round window connector.

•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

Installation of the Carbon Filter.

1. Remove the filter frame from the unit.

2. Separate the filter fixer from the filter frame.

3. Remove the active carbon filter from the plastic bag.

4. Insert the active carbon filter into the filter frame.

5. Fix the filter by reassembling the fixer onto the filter frame.

6. Side the filter frame back into the unit.

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 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 indicator above the ‘Power’ Switch will

light 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 11.

During low humidity it maybe necessary to add move

water to the internal tank

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.

Note!

No need to add water when used in the heating function.
