Moisture removed by the air conditioning process is passed to
the external condenser to be re-evaporated. However, in certain
conditions water may drip from condenser base. Take this into
account when siting.
The condenser unit MUST be sited externally. Make sure it is firmly
supported using suitable brackets/chains and must not be allowed
to hang by its flexible lines as this may cause serious damage.
Ensure the lines are free from kinks and severe bends.

blow the fuse or cause IRREPARABLE damage to the compressor.
Check condition of equipment before use. If unit is showing signs of
damage contact your supplier immediately.

condenser. The room unit placed within area of being cooled
comprises of an evaporator and a compressor.
Before operating the unit, it should be positioned in the area to be
air conditioned so that it is in reach of a 13 A socket outlet and
where the condenser can be set up outside an opening window.
After unit is positioned, carefully remove the condenser from its
stowed position (fig.1). The chains and hooks are for supporting
the condenser. The flexible line connecting the condenser to the
unit will be stiff until operated (fig.2).
The room air enters the unit and once passed across the
evaporator is returned into the room as cooled air. The external
unit which is connected to the room unit by a flexible pipe,
contains the condenser which needs to be cooled by ambient
air, therefore the external unit needs to be positioned outside of
the room to be cooled.
The external condenser should never be positioned more than
1.5m above the level of the top of the room unit.
