Installing the indoor unit
Positioning the mounting plate
Install directly on the wall
Select a structural part of the wall, so that indoor unit can be installed
securely.
Make sure the mounting plate is level before securing it.
The wall must be capable of carrying the weight of the indoor unit.
Note: The indoor unit must be installed more than 2.3m above the floor for the best
efficiency.
Install the piping hole
Drill hole with 65mm core drill.
Insert the through wall pipe into the hole
Note: Drill the hole from indoors to outdoors with a 5° downward inclination.
Indoor unit installation preparation
Install the drain hose
Run the drain hose sloping downward.
Do not install the drain hose as illustrated (see figure 7).
When connecting extension drain hose insulate the connecting part of
extension drain hose with a shield material.
Indoor unit electrical wiring
The indoor unit electrical wiring is already connected to the indoor unit
during manufacture.
If the wiring or any other part is damaged, please contact Addvent on
0117 923 5375.
Wrap the pipe and wiring.
Hold down the end of the pipe, pull it out, form the extension part.
Wrap the piping and wiring and pull them through the cut-off-tailings hole.
When routing the pipe and wire from the left or right side of the indoor
unit, cut off the tails from the pipe holder if necessary.
NOTE: EMC Directive 89/336/EEC to prevent flicker impressions during the start of
the compressor (technical process) and the adverse influence caused by the
second harmonics of the compressor, the following installation conditions apply.
The power connection for the air conditioner has to be done at the main power
distribution. The distribution has to be of a low impedance, normally the required
impedance reaches at a 32A fusing point.
2 No other equipment has to be connected with this power line.
3 For detailed installation acceptance, please refer to your contractor with the power
supplier if restrictions do apply for products like washing machines, air conditioner
or electrical ovens.
4 For power details of the air conditioner, refer to the rating plate of the product.
5 For any further questions contact Addvent on 0117 923 5375.

Technical Features
Automatic Function: This unit is equipped with fuzzy logic control.
This Technology allows the appliance to sense the conditions within the room to give you the most comfortable
atmosphere at any given time. It works through optimal program design, which makes control clearer avoiding
unnecessary over cooling or overheating, resulting in greater energy savings.
Lower Noise: The large diameter fan blade design reduces operational speed, furthermore reducing noise with same air
output. The lowest noise at comfortable sleeping operation mode is only 29dB.
Simple Operation: The hand held remote control displays clear and easy to understand symbols, making operation
simple and convenient.
Sleep Function: Intelligent fuzzy logic control ensures a comfortable sleeping environment,
24-hour Programme Timer: Setting on time, off time and on/off time within a 24 hour period.
Auto Air Speed Adjustment: Auto setting high, medium and low air speeds as per difference between set
temperature and room temperature
Sweep Function: Prevents localised over cooling, saves energy.
Auto Cool/Warm operation: Horizontal air flow when cooling and downward air flow when heating.
Adjustable air flow and direction.
Thermal Start System: Will not expel cold air when at the start of heating or defrosting cycles.
Independent Dehumidifying; Automatically , dehumidifies the area without changing room temperature
Self-Diagnostic function: on the indoor unit the TIMER and RUN indicating lights flash when there is a fault,
indicating fault type and the location.
Fan Motor: Maintains constant speed
Rotary Compressor: Reduced noise and vibration.
Cost effective and energy efficient design.
Microprocessor Control: Microprocessor with advanced technology can simply realise on-time operation, keeping
room temperature stable.

Note: Heating operation
The system may get overloaded if the air conditioner absorbs too much heat from
air. The fan of the outdoor unit stops automatically to protect air conditioner as
controlled by the microprocessor.
Dehumidifying operation
When the fan of the outdoor unit stops, it may show frost. This is normal.
When the temperature is in auto set, it can not be changed.

Maintenance
Cleaning
If the Air Conditioner is not to be used for a long time
Start fan only for 3-4 hours to completely dry the inside of the system.
Set free -selecting mode and select the highest set temperature when fan is turning.
Turn off air conditioner, unplug the mains.
Take the batteries out of the remote control.
When you want to use the air conditioner
Clean air filters and replace them to original position.
Inlets and outlets of indoor and outdoor units should not be covered/blocked.
The earth wire should not be loose.
Before cleaning
Unplug from the mains power supply.
Cleaning the indoor unit
Clean indoor unit with soft cloth
Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning products to clean the indoor unit as they may cause damage.
Note: Turn off the system, unplug mains and turn off breaker before cleaning, high speed turning fan during operation may
cause injury.

Tips for operation
Cooling
How to make cooling more efficient
Close windows and reduce sunlight to increase the cooling effect.
Position the outdoor unit where it will be shielded from direct sunlight. This will reduce running costs.
Heating
A comfortable heat level lies in the difference with outside temperature.
The set temperature for heating will not be too different than outside temperature. Though this varies with area, set
the temperature to between 20–24°C. The heating effect decreases when the ambient temperature is below 5°C.
Dehumidifying
Humidity has a relation to temperature and wind. Generally speaking, the most comfortable humidity is 60%–75% in
summer and 55%–70% in winter. Temperature and speed are automatically selected by microprocessor.
