SAFETY
Avoid using this product in a wet environment.
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
Ensure that anyone using this product is aware of normal
safety precautions for household electric appliances.
PARTS
1) After removing the air conditioner from the box, place in an upright position.
2) Remove the cable from the Cable drawer/Water tank section at the rear of the unit
and plug into desired power source. Make sure to insert the tank section back in so it is
flush with the rest of the unit. The unit will make a “beep” noise when plugged into
power.

IMPORTANT
Always keep your air conditioner upright. If it has been stored or transported on it’s
side or laying flat by accident, 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.

SETUP
3) Open the Warm air cover fully. This will turn on the unit and the compressor will start.
4) Open the Cold air cover 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
air flow feels too cold

• Keep your air conditioner close enough for comfort. The ideal range of distance is 1.5 -
3 meters. Arange the angle of the cold air cover so cool air flows around face and
shoulders.
• The Focus Enhancer can be used to extend
the range of cooling and enable a higher
angle of air flow.
• For a small room, place the unit near an
open window or doorway.
Drape a curtain as shown to exclude light
for sleeping.
• For sleeping, arrange your unit about 15cm
from the end of the bed. Both the cold air
cover and Focus Enhancer can be adjusted to
the desired angle so the cool air flows over you.
It can also be suited to larger beds for two
people.
• Keep a door or window open so fresh
air circulates, and some of the warm air
can flow out of the room. Switch off fans
as they will disrupt Close Comfort’s
gentle air flow.
REAR FILTER
MAINTENANCE
We recommend to inspect at least the return air inlet filter once every two weeks.
Once there is a notiicable 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.
Use the optional Igloo Tent accessory for a more intense cooling effect and insect
protection.
We recommend using the tent if indoor temperature is consistently over 27-29°C
TOP FILTER FRONT FILTER
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 - 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
CURE - Remove the Cable drawer/Water tank and insert back in correctly or empty it if
full. 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.
FAILS TO START
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 cover, 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.

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) Water tank is full – 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. Repeat this step if its
not heard, and then turn on the unit as per normal.
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.
