IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Important Safeguards.
•Read all instructions.
•Disconnect the power plug before dismantling, assembling or before
cleaning.
•Avoid touching mobile parts of the appliance.
•Never insert fingers, pencils or any other objects though the guards whenever
the power plug is connected, especially while running.
•The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons
unless they have been adequately supervised by a responsible person to
ensure that they can use the unit safely.
•Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
•Do not use the appliance for any other purpose than its intended use.
•The appliance must not be used if the guards are not fastened according to
instructions.
•When the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or
its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
•Do not use your appliance with an extension cord unless it has been checked
and tested by a qualified electrician or electrical supplier.
•Return to the authorized service agent.
•The air conditioning unit must always be stored and transported upright,
otherwise you may cause irreparable damage to the compressor; in
case of doubt we suggest to wait for at least 24 hours before you start
the air-conditioning unit.
•Avoid restarting the air conditioning unit unless 4 minutes have passed since
being turned off, or the compressor may get damaged.
•Never use the mains plug as a switch to start and turn off the air conditioning
unit. Use the provided ON/OFF switch located on the control panel.
•Always place the portable air conditioner on a dry stable surface.

Energy Saving Tips.
Do not cover or restrict the airflow from the Outlet or Inlet grills.
The minimum distance from furniture and wall should be 50cm.
Keep blinds and /or draperies, on any windows, closed during the sunniest
part of the day.
Keep the filters clean. Under normal conditions, the filters should be
cleaned approximately every 30 days. Since the filters remove airborne
particles, more frequent cleaning maybe necessary, depending on the
indoor air quality.
Set the fan speed switch to high cool and the thermostat to the coolest
position for the initial start-up, then set the Fan switch to Low cool and
lower the thermostat to a comfortable setting.
Suggestions:
If room temperature is higher than 40℃, cooling function will not become well;
if room temperature is lower than 7℃, heating function will not become well.
Please do not use this air conditioner.

Install the unit on a flat and dry place
Leave at least 50cm space around the
unit(when the hose is not connected).

1) Fix the square end of the exhaust dust to
the exhaust terminal of the unit.
2) Put the other end (discharge) to the
nearest window. Leave at least 50cm
ally according to the
place around it.
NOTE:
The leng
600mm to 1700mm (adapters included). We
suggest using the minimum length of the air
exhaust dust. That can save energy for you.
This length has been designed es
specifications of the air conditioner .Do not use an extension or
exchange of a different hose as that may lead to malfunction.

WATER DRAINGE METHODS
This product has a self-evaporative system. The condensing water
will recycle to cool the condenser. This water-cooled mode can not
only improve cooling efficiency and decrease noise, but also save
energy for you.
* When in cooling mode, the water from the evaporator will flow into a inside
pan. When the water reaches the low level, the water pump will work until
the water is under the low level. When the water reaches the high level, the
compressor will stop working, and the water pump, lower fan motor and
upper fan motor will work on all the time.
* When in heating mode, the water pump won't work.
* When the water is full, the water full indicator will light and the compressor
will stop working. The buzzer will buzz 10 times every 5 minutes until the
water is below the high level or drained by hand. When the alarm stops and
after three-minutes restart delay, the unit will
work normally.
* Move the unit gently when the water is high. If
01
not , the water may spill from the inside of the unit.

* When the water in the cave is not enough for pumping, the pump will stop
working. At the same time, the Water Injection indicator on the control panel
will illuminate ( ), you had better inject some water into the water draw
carefully. In order to avoid the water flooding from the under pan, you should
inject water no more than 1800ml (three cups). This operation helps save
20%-30% energy for you.
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
Turn off the unit and pull the plug out of the socket before any cleaning.
1.Clean the surface
Clean the surface of the unit with a duster or a half-wet soft cloth.
Do not use chemical solvent like benzene, alcohol, gasoline and etc,
Or the surface may be damaged or even deformed.
2. Clean the air filter
If the air filter is blocked with a lot of
dust, the efficiency will reduce. You’d
better clean the filter every two weeks.
1) Pull out the air filter as Fig.14.
2) Wash the air filter by immersing
it gently into warm(under 40°C or 104°
F)water with neutral detergent. Rinse
the filter and dry it in a shaded place.
3) Push the air filter back into the
original position.
End of season
1.Pull out the plug from the drain mouth and remove the water from the drain
pan. You can remove the water entirely by slanting the unit back.
Setting the fan mode, then press the Fan button for 5 seconds until the lower
fan works. After that, operate the unit in fan mode for half a day until the pipe is
11

dry. In this way the inside of the unit can be dried and the mildew growth can
be suppressed.
2.Switch off the unit and disconnect the plug from the power supply.
3.Tie the cable with sting.
4.Remove the air exhaust duct and keep it carefully.
5.Wrap the unit with the plastic bag, and keep it in a dry place.
6.Take the batteries out of the remote control and keep them well.
