otherwise irreparable damage may be caused to the compressor; if in
doubt we suggest waiting at least 24 hours before starting the unit.
• Avoid restarting the air conditioning unit unless 3 minutes have passed

the air conditioning unit. Use the provided ON/OFF button located on the
control panel.
• Always place the air conditioner on a dry and stable surface.
• The air conditioner should not be installed in laundry or wet rooms
• The air conditioner must be placed in a room without sources of ignition
(for example: open flames, an operating gas appliance or an operating

The air conditioner contains about 235 g of R290 refrigerant
gas.
• Do not use or store in an unventilated space with an area smaller than
18m² per unit. The room must be such as to prevent stagnation of possible

ENERGY SAVING AND UNIT SAFETY PROTECTION TIPS
• Do not cover or restrict the airflow from the outlet or inlet grills.
• For maximum performance the air conditioner should be situated at least
50 cm from the walls or other objects.
• Keep the filters clean. Under normal conditions, filters should only need
cleaning once every two weeks. 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
4-5 degrees lower than the current temperature. Thereafter, set the fan to
low and set the thermostat to your desired setting.
• To protect the unit we recommend the unit should only be used when the
room temperature is between 15°C and 35°C.
