SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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 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 of the appliance.

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

•This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with

reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities. It is also not intended for

use by those with a lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have

been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by

a person responsible for their safety.

•Do not leave children unsupervised with this appliance.

•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/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 authorised service representative. Failure to comply could

result in a voided warranty.

•Do not use the appliance for any other purposes than its intended use.

•The air conditioner unit 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 conditioning unit unless 3 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 conditioning

unit. Use the provided ON/OFF switch 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 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 maybe necessary, depending on

the air quality.

•For the initial start up 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 35oC.

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 always be kept upright and then placed on an even

surface.

1. Attach the fishtail connector to the end of the

hose, by extending the end of the hose and

twisting the fishtail adaptor until it is firmly

attached (At least 3 full rotations)

2. Attach the connector on the opposite end of the pipe to the

exhaust outlet on the rear of the appliance by putting it into

position and twisting to lock in place

3. Make sure the unit is

upright and there are no

obstructions to the air inlet

and outlet grills.

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 the window.

2. Fix the fishtail on the hose

into the opening in the slide

bar.

Page 7 of 14

NOTES:

•The window kit is only designed to be installed with sliding or sash windows or doors. The window

kit is not designed or to be used with any other style of windows.

•The fish tail adaptor can be used without the slide bar with most windows / doors.

•When using the air conditioner ensure that the opening left around the fishtail is as small as

possible to ensure efficient operation.

•The best form of installation is through a wall duct. By properly venting you expel hot air from your

room while efficiently cooling it.

•Your air conditioner should be used without the vent pipe in dehumidifier mode. When using

dehumidifier mode ensure that an external water tank is used, monitored and regularly emptied

before overflowing. Permanent plumbing can be also installed for dehumidifier mode or an

external uplift water pump can be set up for unattended use.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

The length of the soft hose extends from 28 cm to

150 cm. If 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 air hose more than 30

degrees

MULTI PROTECTIVE FUNCTIONS

OVERFLOW PROTECTION FUNCTION

When the water in the internal water tank exceeds the warning level, the machine will

automatically sound an alarm, and the Full light will illuminate. At this point, you need to

empty the internal water tank. After the water is emptied, the machine will automatically

return to the original state.

AUTOMATIC DEFROSTING (COOLING MODELS HAVE THIS FUNCTION)

The machine has automatic defrosting function: during defrosting, heating symbol on the

display screen will flash.

AUTOMATIC THERMAL PROTECTION

To protect the service life of the machine, the machine has automatic thermal protection.

During the protection period, the compressor and the lower motor will stop operation and will

automatically return to normal heating state after the temperature of the machine recovers.

PROTECTION FUNCTION OF THE COMPRESSOR

To increase the service life of the compressor, it has a 3- minute delay start protection

function.

EMPTYING THE INTERNAL WATER TANK

MANUAL DRAINAGE:

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

Shut off the unit and unplug. Try not to move the model abruptly as this may

cause the water in the internal tank to spill out.

Place a tray under the water plug or place the unit in a drainage area.

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.

Connect a water pipe to the water outlet. (Not Supplied)

You can plumb this pipe into your current plumbing system,

lead it outside and use gravity fall or use a water pump.

Note: This model has a self-evaporative function, 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-evaporating facility.
