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 until firmly attached (At least 3 full rotations)

2. Attach the exhaust hose to the air conditioner body, by pushing into position on the hot air outlet vent.

3. Make sure the unit is upright and there are no obstructions to the air inlets 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 end of the fishtail to the air-outlet window kit.

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 cooling.

• 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 be 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 Tank full indicator will illuminate. At this point, the internal water tank will need emptying. After the water is emptied, the machine will automatically return to the original state. If vented correctly and the humidity level is normal, the self evaporative function will vastly reduce the frequency the tank will need emptying.

AUTOMATIC DEFROSTING (COOLING MODELS HAVE THIS FUNCTION)

The machine has automatic defrosting function: during defrosting, heating symbol on the display screen will flash.

PROTECTION FUNCTION OF THE COMPRESSOR

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

EMPTYING THE WATER CONTAINER

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 (Not supplied) to the water outlet. 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.

MAINTENANCE

CLEANING

PLEASE TURN 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

Put the evaporator filter screen into warm water with neutral detergent (about 40 ℃ /104℉) and dry it in the shade after rinsing clean.

CLEAN THE LOWER FILTER SCREEN FRAME

Hold the handle of the air inlet filter screen frame, and pull it outward gently to remove it.

Put the filter screen into warm water with neutral detergent (about 40 ℃ / 104 ℉) and dry it in the shade after rinsing clean.
