  • Avoid restarting the air conditioning unit unless 3 minutes have passed since being turned off. This prevents damage to the compressor.
  • Never use the mains plug as a switch to start and turn off 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).

  • 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 air outlet or inlet.
  • For maximum performance the minimum distance from a wall or objects should be 50cm.
  • 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 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 not using the cooling function when the ambient temperature is higher than 45oC or lower than 18oC.

FEATURES

  • 3 in 1 Cooling, Fan, Dehumidifier.
  • 2 speed fan: Balancing quiet operation with performance.
  • 24 Hours Start / Stop Timer.
  • Digital Thermostat.
  • Auto-Restart to retain the settings in the event of power failure.
  • Castors for Enhanced Portability.
  • Durable metal casing.
  • Triple cold air ducts allowing distribution of the cold air.

HOSE SPECIFICATIONS

APPLIANCE DIAGRAM

INSTALLATION

COLD AIR OUTLETS

  1. Line up the dimple on the Elbow with the notch on the Hose connector on the top ofthe air conditioner.
  2. Rotate anticlockwise until a click can be heard, indicating the elbow has locked into place.
  3. Insert the Cold Air Hose into the Elbow, again lining up the dimple with the notch in the Elbow.
  4. Rotate the pipe anticlockwise to fix it in place.
  5. The pipe can then be extended and pointed in the desired direction.
  6. Repeat for the second air outlet.

HOT AIR OUTLET

  1. Push the Hot Air Hose onto the Hot air outlet on the top of the appliance.
  2. Extend the pipe and route it outside.

NOTES:

  • 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 the water tank is monitored and regularly emptied. Permanent plumbing can be also installed for dry mode or an external uplift water pump can be set up for unattended use.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

If hoses are extended above the permitted 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 all the hoses as straight and short as possible and avoid bending the air hose by more than 45 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. Ensure that sufficient space is left in from the end of the vent pipes (30cm – Cold air, 90cm Hot air)

OPERATION

INDICATORS

MULTI PROTECTIVE FUNCTIONS

FROST PROTECTIONIn COOL, DRY or AUTO modes, if the temperature of the exhaust is too low, the machine will automatically stop operating until the temperature has risen.OVERFLOW PROTECTIONWhen the water in the internal water tank exceeds the warning level, the machine will stop operating and sound an alarm with the LCD display showing “E4”. To resume operation empty the internal water tank. After the water is emptied, the machine will automatically return to the original state.AUTO-DEFROSTThe machine has automatic defrosting function. If during operation the temperature of the internal coils drops too low, the unit will enter auto defrost and the heating symbol will flash on the control panel.AUTOMATIC THERMAL PROTECTIONTo 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. The appliance will automatically return to normal operation after the temperature of the machine recovers.COMPRESSOR PROTECTIONTo prevent damage to the compressor there is a 3 minute delay start protection function.

EMPTYING THE INTERNAL WATER TANK

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 appliance as this may cause the water in the internal tank to spill out. Remove the water tank from the base of the unit and empty into a sink or drain. Replace the water tank in the unit before plugging back in and restarting operation.

CONTINUOUS DRAINAGE:

Remove the water tank from the unit, and connect the drainage pipe to the spout.. The drain is gravity fed, so can be routed downwards to a suitable drain. Alternatively the pipe can be attached to an external uplift pump (not supplied) to pump the water uphill to a suitable drainage point.

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.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

PLEASE TURN OFF THE UNIT AND UNPLUG FROM THE MAINS BEFORE CLEANING OR PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE

CLEAN THE SURFACEClean 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 machineAIR FILTER CLEANINGIf 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.

END OF SEASON MAINTENANCE

  1. Empty the internal water tank.
  2. Then switch the unit to low fan mode.
  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 pull out the plug.
  5. Empty the water tank again.
  6. Coil the wire and bind it together, then put it into the accessories space.
