1) After removing the air conditioner from the box, place in an upright position.
2) Remove the cable from the drawer at the back of the unit and insert the plug into a
wall outlet. Make sure you push the drawer fully back in so it is flush with the back of
the unit. The unit will make a “beep” noise when plugged into power.
IMPORTANT
Always keep your air conditioner upright. It may have been stored or transported on
it’s side or laid flat by mistake, so please stand it upright for at least 12 hours before
plugging it into power and turning it on. Failing to do so may damage the unit.
3) Open the warm air deflector fully. This will turn on the unit and the compressor will
start.
4) Open the cold air deflector and allow 2 minutes for the air coming out to feel cold.
Use the remote control to adjust fan speed. Keep the temperature setting at 17°C
unless the air flow feels too cold.

(COOL FOCUS MODELS)
Position your air conditioner close
enough for comfort. The ideal range
of distance is 1.5 - 3 meters. Arange
the angle of the cold air deflector
so cool air flows around face and
shoulders.
For sleeping, arrange your unit about 15cm from the
end of the bed. Both the cold air deflector and focus
enhancer can be adjusted to the desired angle so the
cool air flows over you. It also works with larger beds for
two people.
MICROCLIMATE TEMPERATURE SETTING
The thermostat turns off the compressor if the temperature of the air returning to the
air conditioner is below the set temperature. Press ▲ to increase or ▼ to reduce the set
temperature. If the room temperature is lower than the set temperature, the compres-
sor will stop. The temperature of the cool air is dependent on the environment tem-
perature and humidiity, usually 8 to 14 degrees less than the ambient temperature.
SLEEP KEY
When this key is pressed, the air flow of the unit changes into sleep mode (low speed).
1) Press “SLEEP” to set sleep function. Press again to cancel sleep function.
2) The temperature will increase by 0.5°C after half an hour and 2°C after 2 hours.
3) When you turn off the unit, the sleep function will be cancelled automatically.
TIMER KEY
TIMER OFF: The timer is used to turn off the unit automatically after the setting time is
over.
1) Press the “TIMER” key to set the number of hours of desired operating time.
2) Once the set time has come to an end, the unit will turn off automatically.
3) Press the “POWER” key before the time out, the setting time will be cancelled and
the unit will turn off.
AUTO KEY
Automatic fan speed. When the ambient temperature is 2 or more degrees higher
than the set room temperature, the unit will run at high fan speed. it will automatically
switch to medium and low when the ambient temperature gets closer to the set
temperature.
5) Keep a door or window open so fresh air circulates unless it is extremely hot or
windy outside.
6) Avoid using a fan nearby as it can disrupt Close Comfort’s gentle air flow.
7) The focus enhancer extends the range of cooling and, after fitting the serparate
transparent deflector flap, enables a higher angle of air flow. Note: The focus enhancer
comes pre-installed on all COOL FOCUS models and is an optional accessory for EASY
FOCUS models.
For a small room, place
the unit near an open
window or doorway.
Drape a curtain as shown to
exclude light when sleeping.
Use the optional Igloo tent for a more
intense cooling effect and insect pro-
tection. We recommend using the
Igloo tent for sleeping if indoor
temperature is consistently over
27-29°C .

TROUBLESHOOTING
SYMPTOM
- Green light is flashing, fan is running but there is no cooling, and
compressor does not start
CURE - Press FUNC to make the snowflake symbol appear and lower the thermostat
temperature. This is due to the thermostat setting being higher than room
temperature or function is set to “fan” instead of “cooling”. We recommend keeping it
set to 17°C and on “cooling” at all times.
FAN RUNS BUT THERE IS NO COOLING
SYMPTOM 1 - Air conditioner does not start, green light flashes 6 times, then pauses and
repeats
CURE - Disconnect the power - either switch off the power point or remove the power
lead for 5 minutes. To avoid the problem, when you have finished using your close
comfort AC, siwtch it off with the remote control before closing the warm air cover
SYMPTOM 2 - Green power warning light flashes, air conditioner does not start
FAILS TO START
Normally this light should not display. If it does it can be due to the ambient
temperature being too cool for the unit. Close comfort is designed to be used in a
temperature over 17°C although a certain combination of cold temperature, humidity
and atmospheric pressure can lead to frosting.
SYMPTOM 1 – BLUE LIGHT IS ON, FAN RUNNING
If the temperature is above 17°C, let the unit run cooling as per normal, the fan will help
to defrost the compressor.
The power light will come on as soon as the unit is turned on (by opening the rear flap,
or pressing the Power button on the remote).
When the green light is flashing, the compressor is not on however the fan should still
be running. After about 1-2 minutes, the compressor will start cooling and the green
light should be constantly on.
SYMPTOM 1 – GREEN LIGHT IS NOT ON WHEN TRYING TO TURN ON THE UNIT
1) Check to see if the power supply is properly connected and on. The unit will make a
“beep” sound when plugged in to power. If needed, try a different power supply.
2) Check to see if the cable drawer is inserted properly and flush with the body of the
unit. If it is, check if the tip is broken (located at the back of the drawer and protrudes)
– if this is the case, contact us to receive a replacement tank
Normally this light should not display. If it does, either;
1) Cable drawer contains water – carefully remove the tank and empty the water
2) Broken float tip – we will send out a replacement tank under warranty
Normally this light should not display. If it does it can be due to the unit
overheating. Close comfort can be used in an ambient temperature up to 43 degrees.
SYMPTOM 1 – RED LIGHT ON, FAN IS RUNNING
If the temperature is under 43°, let the fan run and it will start cooling automatically
once the compressor is cooled. Make sure to operate in an indoor or shaded outdoor
environment.
SYMPTOM 2 – RED LIGHT ON, FAN NOT RUNNING
Check if the water tank is inserted properly and the tip is not broken
SYMPTOM 2 – GREEN LIGHT CONTINUOUSLY FLASHING, BUT UNIT IS NOT COOLING
1) If the flashing pattern is continuously on and off and the fan is running, press the
‘FUNC’ button on the remote and switch to cooling, and change the temperature to
17°C. Wait 1-2 minutes for the green light to display without flashing and start cooling.
2) If the green light flashes repeatedly but the fan is not running, this may be due to
the A/C’s surge protection mode or an unstable power supply. Turn off the unit using
the remote and close the rear flap. Unplug the unit and wait for 5 minutes. When
reconnecting to the power supply, a "beep" sound will be heard.
3) If the problem still continues to persist, this may indicate a fault. Contact us for a
warranty replacement.

WARNING LIGHTS
SYMPTOM 2 – BLUE LIGHT IS ON, FAN NOT RUNNING
Contact us as the unit may need to be replaced or repaired under warranty.
Another reason the snowflake warning light may display is if there is excessive clogging
in the front filter or if the inlet is blocked by an object, such as the over hanging bed
cover fabric or a cloth.

CURE - Remove the Cable drawer and insert back in correctly or empty water collected.
If water has accumulated, this may indicate a fault as it will gernerally not fill with
water unless in the most humid conditions. Wait 10-15 minutes and restart the air
conditioner.
ROOM SEEMS TO WARM UP
SYMPTOM - The room gets warmer with Close Comfort running.
CURE - As you become used to the cool microclimate that Close Comfort provides for
you, the other parts of the room may seem to be warmer. There may be a slight increase
in temperature by a few degrees only in the area behind the warm air deflector, but
this wont be significant enough to heat up the room.
Keep a door or window open (this is a healthy option in any case) and position the rear
section of the unit to face the open window or door so warm air can flow out. Unlike
normal room air conditioners, Close Comfort works just as well with open doors/win
dows and fresh air circulating.
GRADUAL LOSS OF COOLING
SYMPTOM - Air conditioner loses it’s cooling effect gradually over time.
CURE - Clean the top, front and rear filters by removing them and rinsing under running
water. Household dust can accumulate on the filters over time and this can gradually
reduce the air flow, reducing the apparent cooling.
The focus enhancer enables you to adjust the cooling effect of your Close
Comfort unit, and remains in place even when the cold air deflector is closed.
There are two simple parts to the focus enhancer:
The TRANSPARENT DEFLECTOR FLAP that
works to elevate the direction of the air flow
The adjustable BLUE NOZZLE
that extends the cool air throw
To attach the focus enhancer, first remove the
grill that comes with the unit. Ensuring that the
filter sponge is still in place, attach the focus
enhancer in the place of the existing grille.It
should snap into place. If it does not, ensure it is
inserted with the correct orientation. The nozzle
should be facing inward as shown in the
diagrams.
For a higher angle of air flow:
Attach the transparent flap to the end of the
cool air deflector. Make sure the straight
edge is facing you and the notches are fitted
to the air deflector.
To remove, simply pull the flap off.
INSTALLATION
FOCUS ENHANCER
DEHUMIDIFICATION
Close Comfort can provide cooled and dehumidified air for personal comfort in hot
and humid weather conditions.
As part of the refrigeration process, water condensation sometimes occurs while the
air conditioner is working.
To collect the condensed water, slide out the cable drawer and remove the rubber
bung. This will allow the condensated water to collect in the drawer and when full, the
unit will automatically switch off. Drain the water and replace the bung after the air
conditioner has drained completely. The cable drawer can store up to 2.6 litres of con-
densed water.

REAR FILTER
We recommend inspecting at least the return air filter once every two weeks. Once
there is a noticeable amount of dust, clean all three filters by rinsing them under. running
water. In dusty locations, consider arranging for an air conditioning technician to
clean the inside before the summer season.

▷ Adjust the angle of the cold air deflector to ensure that cool air flows past face and neck
▷ Turn off fans when using Close Comfort as drafts from nearby windows and fans may
disrupt the focus enhancer’s air jet.
▷ Pull the focus enhancer nozzle upright for use with the bed tent. If the focus enhancer
nozzle is in the down position, the cool air at the bottom of the tent will mix with the warm
air at the top.
▷ In humid weather, it is normal for moisture to condense on parts of the focus enhancer.
TIPS
PUSH THE NOZZLE DOWN TO FEEL COOLER:
For higher air speed and increased distance of
cooling, push the the nozzle as shown above.
The cold air deflector can be closed with the
focus enhancer nozzle attached in this position.
Pull the nozzle upright to reduce the air flow
speed when using the Igloo bed tent, or when
gentle air flow is preferred. Ensure the nozzle is
lowered back down before attempting to close
the cold air deflector.
