Self-diagnosis
This machine is equipped with self-diagnosis function. If something is wrong in the
machine, the LED will show the word “E1” or “E2”.
At this time, please contact Addvent (0117 938 6402). Please DO NOT dismantle
the machine by yourselves in any case.
All the above functions can also be performed
with the supplied remote control.
This remote control requires 2 pcs AAA batteries
to operate (battery is not supplied along with
the unit).
Efficiency Boosting
This unit is equipped with “energy efficiency boosting” function, by adding water
(2.5L max.) to the water gate at the side of the unit, the energy efficiency can
be elevated.The principle is: while the machine is working, the condenser will be
getting hot, if you add the water into the unit after the unit has been worked for
more than one hour, the water will cool down the condenser, thus it consumes
less power, i.e. saving energy.
FIG 15
1. Open the water gate 2. Fill the water (max.
2.5L) please pay
attention on the
water level of the
see-through window
beneath the water
gate.
3. Refit the water gate
into place
FIG 16

14
NOTE
1. This efciency feature by adding water is proposed to do after one
hour operation and the water should NOT be over 2.5L, otherwise,
the “water full” indicator will light in red and the unit will stop
working. ✩ This action should only be performed while the power
is on, in order the “water full” alarm could work, also please pay
attention on the water level of the see-through window beneath the
water gate.
2. In case the “water full” indicator is in red, please drain the water
from the drain point at the back side of the unit until the red light
goes out. The unit should work again now.
IMPORTANT!
1. To prolong the compressor’s life, after switch-off of the unit, please wait for
3 minutes (at least) before re-switch.
2. The cooling system will switch off if the ambient temperature is lower than
the set one.The ventilation, however, keeps working on the set level. If the
ambient temperature rises above the selected level, the cooling will return
to work.
3. This machine is equipped with ANTI-FROST function.While using the
heating function during low temperature, sometimes the heating will stop
for a while in order to melt the frost. As this occurs, just wait for the heating
returns to work.

15
Drainage
1.Turn off the air conditioner and avoid moving
it when full.
2. Position a container (a water tray for
example) underneath the drain hole.
3. Remove the drain knob & rubber plug from
the drain hole and allow the water to drain
out.
4.When the container is almost full, replace the
rubber plug in the drain hole and empty the
water tray.
5. Repeat until the unit is emptied.
6. Replace the rubber plug and tighten the drain
knob firmly.
7. Switch on the unit - the full water or
compressor operating indicator should not be
flashing.
