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 object should be 50cm.
Keep the filters clean. Under normal condi�ons, filters should only need cleaning once every
three weeks (approximately). Since the filters remove airborne par�cles, more frequent
cleaning may be necessary, depending on the air quality.
For the ini�al start-up, set the fan speed to maximum and the thermostat to 5 degrees lower
than the current temperature. A�erwards, set the fan switch low and set the thermostat to
your desired se�ng.
To protect the unit, we recommend not using the cooling func�on when the ambient
temperature exceeds 35
o
C. The unit's performance may be affected at lower temperatures
than this. If a scorching day is predicted, running the unit overnight in the desired room is
recommended.

INSTALLATION OF WINDOW KIT
The window kit (slide bar andshtail adaptor) can be
used with sliding windows and doors. For other
types of windows, the fishtail adaptor should be
used on its own.
1.
Slide the rear section of the slide bar onto the front section, lining up the plate so it runs
within the groove. Extend the bar to the required length and use the supplied wing nut to
secure it.
2.
Push the screw thread of the plate through the
hole in the rear of the front slide bar section.
3.
Par�ally open the window and place the
extended slide bar in posi�on before closing
the window onto it.
4.
Fix the fishtail adaptor into the opening on the
slide bar.
NOTES:
The window kit is only designed to be installed with sliding or sash windows or
doors. The window kit is not designed to be used with any other style of windows.
The shtail adaptor can be used without the slide bar with most windows/doors.
When using the air condi�oner, ensure that the opening around the fishtail adaptor
is as small as possible to ensure the unit's efficiency is not reduced.
The best form of installa�on is through a wall duct. By adequately ven�ng, you expel
hot air from your room while efficiently cooling it.
Your air condi�oner should be used without the vent pipe in dry mode. When
using dry mode, ensure that an external water tank is used, monitored and
regularly emptied before overflowing.
Permanent plumbing can also be installed, or
an external upli� water pump can be set up to allow
uninterrupted use.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
The length of the soft hose extends from
approximately 30 cm to 180 cm. If the hose is
extended above this length, the unit may
malfunction, which can invalidate the
warranty. The outlet vent must be well-
ventilated and not obstructed, as this will
cause the unit to overheat. Keep the hose as
straight and short as possible, and avoid
bending the air hose by more than 30
degrees to maintain the unit's performance.
Excessive bends in the hose may prevent the
unit from expelling hot air, leading to internal
damage, and invalidating the warranty.

MULTI PROTECTIVE FUNCTIONS
FROST PROTECTION
In COOL, DRY or SMART COOL modes, if the temperature of the exhaust is too low, the machine will
automatically stop operating until the temperature has risen.
OVERFLOW PROTECTION
When the water in the internal water tank exceeds the warning level, the machine will stop operating and
sound an alarm with the LCD showing "E4". To resume operation, empty the internal water tank. After
emptying the water, the machine will automatically return to its original state.
AUTO-DEFROST
The machine has an automatic defrosting function. If the internal coils' temperature drops too low during
operation, the unit will enter auto defrost, and the heating symbol will flash on the control panel.
AUTOMATIC THERMAL PROTECTION
To protect the service life of the machine, the machine has automatic thermal protection. If the
temperature within the unit is outside of the specified range, the compressor and the lower motor will
stop operation. After the machine's temperature recovers, the appliance will automatically return to
regular operation.
COMPRESSOR PROTECTION
There is a 3-minute delay in starting the protection function to prevent damage to the compressor.
POWER DOWN MEMORY
If power is cut from the unit, when it is restored, the air conditioner will resume working with the same

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
PLEASE SHUT OFF THE UNIT AND UNPLUG FROM THE MAINS BEFORE CLEANING OR PERFORMING
ANY MAINTENANCE
CLEAN THE SURFACE
Clean the machine's surface with a wet, soft cloth. Do not use chemicals such as benzene, alcohol or
gasoline as acidic, corrosive, and alkaline substances may cause damage to the surface and or the
internal workings of the machine.
AIR FILTER CLEANING
If the filter screen is clogged with dust, the air conditioner's effectiveness is reduced. The filter screen
should be cleaned once every two weeks or as often as necessary in your environment.
CLEAN THE TWO FILTER SCREEN FRAMES
Remove the filter screens by pulling the base of it gently outwards to unclip it from the appliance. Once
removed, put the evaporator filter screen into warm water with neutral detergent (about 40 °C /104°F)
and dry it in the shade after rinsing it clean.

EMPTYING THE INTERNAL WATER TANK
When the internal water tank is full, the unit will stop working and display E4.
There are 3 options of how to drain the internal water tank:
1) PUMP ASSISTED DRAINAGE
Remove the rubber stopper from the upper drain port. Connect a
drainage pipe (12mm internal diameter) to the drain port, and route it
to a suitable drain. Press and hold the SMOOTH AIR button to start the
pump and drain the water tank.
2) MANUAL DRAINAGE:
The unit should be manually drained following END-OF-SEASON
maintenance before any prolonged period of storage.
Turn off the unit and unplug. Avoid moving the model abruptly, as this
may cause the water in the internal tank to spill out.
Place a tray in a drainage area under the lower drain port. Remove the
rubber stopper from the drain port - water will drain from the internal
tank. Once the tank is empty, place the rubber stopper back in position.
3) CONTINUOUS DRAINAGE:
Remove the rubber stopper from the lower drain port. Connect a
drainage pipe (12mm internal diameter) to the drain port. You can
plumb this pipe into your current plumbing system, lead it outside, use
gravity fall, or use an external water pump.
NOTE: This model has a self-evaporative function, which reduces the need to empty the water tank in
cooling mode. 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.
END-OF-SEASON MAINTENANCE
1.
Remove the rubber stoppers from the drainage holes and empty the internal tank. You
can also drain the water by leaning the unit backwards.
2.
Run the unit in fan mode, with a low fan speed, with the rubber stopper s�ll removed and
a container under the lower drain port.
3.
Keep the unit in this mode for half a day - un�l the conduit is dried. Doing this helps to
keep the inside of the unit dry and prevents mould from developing.
4.
Turn off the unit and disconnect the plug.
5.
Replace the rubber stopper.
6.
Coil the cable, bind it together, and put it into the cable storage compartment.
7.
Separate the vent pipe and store it safely.
8.
Cover the unit and keep it in a dry place.
9.
Take the bateries out of the remote control and store or dispose of them safely.
10.
Keep all accessories with the unit ready for next season.

LITHIUM / COIN BATTERIES:
BATTERY WARNING
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN
Swallowing can lead to chemical burns,
perforation of soft tissue, and death. Severe
burns can occur within 2 hours of ingestion.
Seek medical attention immediately.
If the battery compartment (if applicable) does not close securely, stop using the
product and keep it away from children.
If you think batteries might have been swallowed, or placed inside any part of the
body, seek immediate medical attention
THERE MAY BE NO OBVIOUS SYMPTOMS OF BATTERY INGESTION
Unfortunately, it is not obvious when a button or coin battery is stuck in a child’s
oesophagus (food pipe). There are no specific symptoms associated with this. The child
might:
cough, gag or drool a lot;
appear to have a stomach upset or a virus;
be sick;
point to their throat or stomach;
have a pain in their abdomen, chest or throat;
be tired or lethargic;
be quieter or more clingy than usual or otherwise “not themselves”;
lose their appetite or have a reduced appetite; and
not want to eat solid food / be unable to eat solid food.
These sorts of symptoms vary or fluctuate, with the pain increasing and then subsiding.
A specific symptom to button and coin battery ingestion is vomiting fresh (bright red)
blood. If the child does this seek immediate medical help.
The lack of clear symptoms is why it is important to be vigilant with “flat” or spare
button or coin batteries in the home and the products that contain them.
