 Never operate this appliance if the cord or plug is damaged. Ensure the power
cord is not stretched or exposed to sharp objects/edges.
 The power cord must not be immersed in water, as this could result in electric
shock.
 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.
 When defrosting and cleaning the appliance, only use tools recommended by
the manufacturer.
 Do not use the appliance for any other purpose 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

Page 3 of 15
  Never use the mains plug or an external timer as a
switch to start and stop the air conditioning unit. 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
 The appliance must be placed in a room without
sources of ignition (for example: open flames, an
operating gas appliance or an operating electric heater).
 R290 refrigerant gas complies with European
environmental directives.
 R290 has a low GWP (Global Warming Potential) of 3.
 The air conditioner contains about 215 g of R290 refrigerant gas.
 Do not use or store in an unventilated space with an area smaller than 10.3m2 per
unit. The room must be such as to prevent stagnation of possible leaks of
refrigerant gas as there could be a danger of fire or explosion hazard should the
refrigerant come into contact with electric heaters, stoves or other sources of
ignition.
 If the appliance is installed, used or stored in an unventilated room, the room must
be such as to prevent stagnation of possible leaks of refrigerant gas as there could
be a danger of fire or explosion should the refrigerant come into contact with
electric heaters, stoves or other sources of ignition.

 Do not use the product and contact the retailer for advice, if damage has occurred
to the unit which may have compromised the refrigerant system.
 Any repairs or maintenance must only be carried out on the unit by a suitably
qualified engineer. Before opening and servicing the unit the authorized
engineer must be in possession of a copy of the manufacturer’s service manual
and must follow the safety information contained within it to ensure all hazards are
minimized.
 The refrigerant system should not be perforated or punctured.

Energy Saving and Unit Safety Protection Tips

 Do not cover or restrict the airflow from the outlet or inlet grills.
 For maximum performance the air conditioner should be situated at least 50cm
from the walls or other objects.
 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 the unit should only be used when the room
temperature is between 7°C and 35°C. If the temperature is below this use
electrical heating to raise the temperature above 10⁰C before starting the unit.

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. Assemble the fishtail adaptor on to the hose, by extending the end of the hose and
twisting the fishtail into position (At least 3 full rotations)

2. Assemble the Exhaust hose connector on to the other end of the hose, by extending the
opposite end of the hose and twisting the outlet into position (At least 3 full rotations)

3. Attach the exhaust hose connector onto to the exhaust outlet on

the rear of the air conditioner body, by pushing into position.

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

the air inlets and outlet grills. A minimum of 50cm clearance
should be left between the inlet/outlet grills and any
obstruction.

INSTALLATION OF WINDOW KIT
1. Partially open the window and then fix the slide bare into the opening in the window, by
putting it into position before closing the window onto it to seal the gap.

2. Push the fishtail adaptor into the slot in the slide bar

Note: The slide bar is only designed to be installed with sliding or sash windows or doors.
The slidebar is not designed or to be used with any other style of window. However
the fish tail adaptor can be used with most windows / doors. When using the
cooling mode ensure that the opening is left as small as possible.
The best form of installation is through a wall duct.
By properly venting you expel hot air from your room while efficiently cooling it.

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.

WATER-DRAINAGE
MANUAL DRAINAGE:
1. When the internal water tank is full the unit will stop working and the TANK FULL light will
illuminate.
2. Shut off the unit and unplug. Try not to move the model abruptly as this may cause water
to spill out from internal water tank.
3. Place a tray under the lower drainage port.
4. Remove the water plug from the lower drainage port - water will drain from the container.
5. Put the water plug back once the tank has drained

CONTINUOUS DRAINAGE:
1. Remove the water plug on the lower drainage port
2. Connect a suitable water pipe to the lower drainage port.
3. You can plumb this pipe into your current plumbing system, lead it outside 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. In dehumidifier mode you may need to use the continuous
drainage option.
