This air condioner has been tested and is safe to use. However, as with any electrical
appliance, use it with care.
Do not obstruct any of the venlaon openings.
The airow should never be restricted, for example, by venng the unit into a condenser box
or reducing the hose diameter, as this can damage the unit.
Disconnect the power from the appliance before dismantling, assembling or cleaning.
An authorised service representave should perform any service other than regular cleaning
or lter replacement. Failure to comply could result in a voided warranty.
Avoid touching any moving parts of the appliance.
Never insert ngers, pencils or any other objects through the guard.
WARNING: Do not pierce or burn any part of the unit.
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 qualied 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 qualied electrician to
avoid a hazard.
Do not use the appliance for any purpose other than its intended use.
The air condioner unit must always be stored and transported upright; otherwise,
irreparable damage may be caused to the compressor. If there is doubt, we suggest waing

WARNING: This appliance contains ammable refrigerant. If this leaks
and comes into contact with an external ignion source, there is a re
risk.
CAUTION: The operaon manual should be read thoroughly.
CAUTION: Any service personnel working on the unit should read the
service manual prior.
CAUTION: Informaon on operaon and servicing is in the manual.
ENERGY SAVING AND UNIT SAFETY PROTECTION TIPS
Do not cover or restrict the airow from the outlet or inlet grilles.
For maximum performance, the minimum distance from a wall or object should be 50cm.
Keep the lters clean. Under normal condions,lters should only need cleaning once every
three weeks (approximately). Since the lters 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 to 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 °C. The unit's performance may be aected at lower temperatures
than this. If a scorching day is predicted, running the unit overnight in the desired room is
recommended.

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 keep it upright and place it on an even surface.
IMPORTANT: The exhaust hose only needs to be fitted in cooling mode.
1. Extend the end of the hose, twist the fishtail
connector firmly into place.
2. Attach the Hose to the Exhaust adaptor in the same way by
extending the end of the hose and twisting until firmly in place
3. Make sure the unit is upright, and there are no
obstructions to the air inlets and outlet grilles, with at least
50cm of space to the sides and rear of the unit.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
The length of the soft hose extends from approximately 35 cm to 200
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 unobstructed, or the unit will 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.

INSTALLATION OF WINDOW KIT (OPTIONAL)
The window kit (slide bar and shtail adaptor) is suitable for use with sliding windows and doors. For other
window types, use the shtail adaptor alone and reduce cooling loss by closing curtains or using a window
seal or blockers such as ACAIRLOCK.
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. Parally open the window and place the extended slide bar in posion before closing the
window onto it.
4. Fix the shtail 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 condioner, ensure that the opening around the shtail adaptor
is as small as possible to ensure the unit's eciency 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 eciently cooling it.
Your air condioner should be used without the vent hose in dry mode. When
using dry mode, ensure an external water tank is used, monitored, and regularly
emptied to prevent overflow.

sound an alarm with the LCD showing "FL". 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.
AUTOMATIC THERMAL PROTECTION
To protect the machine's service life, it features 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 returns to normal, the appliance will automatically resume regular operation.
COMPRESSOR PROTECTION
There is a 3-minute delay in starting the protection function to prevent damage to the compressor.
FILTER CLEANING
To clean the mesh filters on a portable air conditioner, begin by
switching off and unplugging the unit. Access both the
evaporator-side and condenser-side filterstypically located
behind separate rear panels as in diagram attached.
Open each panel and carefully remove the mesh filters. Rinse
them under lukewarm water to remove dust and debris; use a
soft brush and mild detergent if needed. Ensure both filters are
completely dry before reinstalling to prevent moisture buildup.
Cleaning both filters every two weeks during active use helps
maintain airflow, cooling efficiency, and prolongs the unit’s
lifespan.

EMPTYING THE INTERNAL WATER TANK
When the internal water tank is full, the unit will stop working and display FL. There are 2 options for
draining the internal water tank:
1) MANUAL DRAINAGE:
The unit should be manually drained after END-OF-SEASON
maintenance before any prolonged storage.
Turn off the unit and unplug. Avoid abrupt movements of the
model, as this may cause 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.
2) CONTINUOUS DRAINAGE:
Remove the rubber stopper from the upper
drain port. Connect a drainage hose (10 mm
internal diameter) to the drain port using the
provided adapter. You can plumb this hose into
your current plumbing system, lead it outside,
use gravity fall, or use an external water pump.
NOTE: This model features self-evaporation, reducing 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 dry. Doing this helps to keep
the inside of the unit dry and prevents mould from developing.
4. Turn o 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 hose and store it safely.
8. Cover the unit and keep it in a dry place.
9. Take the baeries out of the remote control and store or dispose of them safely.
10. Keep all accessories with the unit ready for next season.
