SPECIFICATIONS:
The MCM230 is a Mono-block portable air conditioning unit. It is connected to a 13 Amp. 230Vac. 50Hz power supply

SET UP AND OPERATION:
• The unit is designed to operate between 21°C and 35°C. Operation outside of these temperatures could cause
compressor failure and will invalidate the warranty. If the temperature in the room is above 35 C it is recommend-
ed that all the doors and windows are opened and the unit run on Fan only to reduce the temperature.
• Site the unit on a rm level surface and apply the castor brakes. Do not operate the machine without engaging
the castor brakes.
• Attach the 400mm exhaust duct and route to a suitable discharge point. Keep the duct as short and straight as
possible. Do not operate the unit if the hose is kinked or puntured. Do not exceed the supplied length of exhaust
duct.
• Should air need to directed to a particular area t the air discharge hoses to the front outlets and extend to the
desired discharge points. Do not exceed 1.25M per hose.
• Check that the water drain tank is correctly located in it's housing and the exible drain hose is inserted into the
tank.
• Connect the unit to a 230Vac 50Hz power supply and check that the 'Power On' lamp is illuminated.
• Turn the 'Fan On' switch to 'I' to start the fans.
• Turn the 'Cooling On' switch to 'I' to start the compressor. It should be noted that the compressor will not start if
the fans are not running or the ambient temperature is below 21°C. The compressor is tted with a start delay
timer and will not run for 3 minutes from activation of the cooling switch. This device is designed to protect the
compressor from repeated start/stop cycles.
• Allow a minimum of 10 minutes for the unit to start cooling.
• During the cooling process the unit will produce condensate (water) which will drain into the water drain tank.
Once this tank lls to a set level it will switch the compressor and fans o󰀨 and illuminate the 'Tank Full' lamp.
• Before removing the water drain tank, and to avoid any potentially damaging water spillage, switch the fans and
cooling o󰀨 and allow 5 minutes for any accumulated moisture within the machine to drain into the tank.
• To empty the tank carefully remove it from the machine using the grab handle on the top by lifting and sliding it
forwards. Do not loosen or remove the large screw cap on the front of the tank. Once the tank is emptied replace
it in the housing ensuring it is correctly located and that the exible drain hose is inserted into the tank.
• The machine can now be restarted.
• Ensure the water drain tank is empty prior to transportation.
• Do not remove the water drain tank while the machine is operating.

2. Periodically check the water tank drain mechanism is operating correctly and the drain hose is present and in
good condition.
3. Regularly inspect the mains cable and plug for signs of damage or wear. Do not operate the machine with a
damaged mains cable.
4. Check that the castors are running freely and that the breaking mechanisms are working correctly.
