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 until firmly attached to the
connector (At least 3 full rotations).
2. Attach the Hose to the Outlet adaptor, in the
same way by extending the end of the hose
and twisting until firmly attached (At least 3
full rotations).
3. Slide the Outlet adaptor into position on
the rear of the unit.

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.
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 fish tail adaptor can be used without the slide bar with most windows / doors.
• When using the air conditioner ensure that the opening around the fishtail adaptor is as small as
possible to ensure the efficiency of the unit is not reduced.
• 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 dry mode. When using dry mode
ensure that an external water tank is used, monitored and regularly emptied before overflowing.
Permanent plumbing can be also installed or an external uplift water pump can be set up to allow
for uninterrupted use.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
The length of the soft hose extends from approximately 30 cm to 150 cm. If 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 in order to maintain the
performance of the unit. Excessive bends in the hose may prevent the unit from expelling the hot air,
which can lead to internal damage which would invalidate the warranty.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
PLEASE SHUT OFF THE UNIT AND UNPLUG FROM THE MAINS BEFORE CLEANING OR PERFORMING ANY
MAINTENANCE
CLEAN THE SURFACE
Clean the surface of the machine with a wet soft cloth. Do not use chemicals, such as benzene, alcohol,
gasoline, etc; otherwise, as this 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 effectiveness of the air conditioner is reduced. The filter screen
should be cleaned once every two weeks or as often as necessarily in your environment.
CLEAN THE UPPER FILTER SCREEN FRAMES
Remove the filter screens by gently sliding them out of the unit. Once removed put the evaporator filter
screen into warm water with neutral detergent (about 40℃ /104℉) and dry it in the shade after rinsing
clean.
13
EMPTYING THE INTERNAL WATER TANK
MANUAL DRAINAGE:
When the internal water tank is full the unit will stop working, and the unit will display
E4. Turn off the unit and unplug it from the mains. Try not to move the appliance 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.
Remove the drainage cap and rubber stopper from the drain port - water will drain from
the internal tank. One the tank is empty, place the rubber stopper and cap back in
position.
CONTINUOUS DRAINAGE:
Remove the drainage cap and rubber stopper from the drain port on the base of the
unit. Connect a water pipe to the drain port.
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 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 drainage cap and rubber stopper from the drainage hole 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 still removed, and a
container under the drain port.
3. Keep the unit in this mode for half day - until 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 from the mains.
5. Replace the rubber stopper and drainage cap.
6. Coil the wire and bind it together, then put it into the accessory space.
7. Separate the vent pipe and store it safely.
8. Cover the unit and keep it in a dry place.
9. Take the batteries out of remote control and store or dispose of them safely. Keep all
accessories with the unit ready for next season.
