Do not locate the air conditioner
where furniture or other objects can
obstruct the air flow.
Keep curtains and blinds closed
during the hottest part of the day.
Keep the filters clean.
Set the air conditioner to maximum
cooling and high fan speed initially,
then adjust to a comfortable setting.
Do not wait until the room is
excessively hot before using the air
conditioner.
INTRODUCTION

General Safety
Transport the air conditioner in an
upright position only, or leave it in an
upright position for at least 2 hours
before use (Fig 1).
Use only in the upright position on a flat
level surface and at least 50cm from any
objects.
Do not place objects on the air conditioner
or restrict air inlets / outlets (Fig 2).
Closely supervise any children and pets
when the air conditioner is in use.
For indoor use only.
Ensure the appliance has been installed in
accordance with national wiring
regulations.
Electrical Safety
Do not store or operate the appliance near
any flammable substances.
During operation, water will collect in the
bottom tank of the air conditioner. Be
careful when moving the unit to prevent
water from spilling.
Electrical Safety (cont)
Caution! before connecting the
electrical power cord to a power outlet,
check that the air conditioner voltage is
the same as your power supply (refer to
the rating label located on the back of the
unit). Ensure the power supply is correctly
earthed and rated.
Plug the air conditioner directly into a
properly installed power outlet. Never use
an extension cord, double adaptor or multi
power outlet board to run this air
conditioner.
Do not pull the unit along by the power cord
or place the power cord near a source of
heat. Always unroll the power cord
completely before use.
If the power cord is damaged, in order to
avoid a hazard it must be replaced by an
electrician or similarly qualified person or
service agent.
Switch off and unplug when not in use.
Do not use in humid environments such as
bathrooms or other steamy or wet areas.
Do not touch or operate the air conditioner
with wet or damp hands or when standing
barefoot.

Assembling the exhaust hose (Fig 5,6)
Step 1:
Step 2:
Step 3:
Fit the exhaust hose to the rear
panel outlet by screwing the hose in a
counter-clockwise direction
Snap the oblong connector into
position on the window attachment.
Open the window and fit the
adjustable window attachment. Extend
the attachment as required and lock into
place with the locking screw. Ensure the
outlet is not obscured. The window
attachment can be installed horizontally
or vertically, depending on the window
type.
Note!
Note!
The minimum distance required
from the operating air conditioner to
any obstructing objects or walls is
50cm (Fig 6).
Keep the exhaust hose as short and
straight as possible and minimise
kinks. This will maximise the cooling
performance.
Don’t use extension pieces for the
exhaust pipe as this will reduce the
cooling performance.
Hot air and possibly mist will be
emitted from the exhaust hose.
It is critical to the cooler’s
performance that the hot exhaust air
is completely removed from the space
being cooled.

If there are two of the same air
conditioners installed, they cannot be
controlled separately. When you operate
either remote, it will turn on both air
conditioners if they are both within signal
range (6 metres).
Don’t let the remote control drop onto hard
surfaces or be subjected to sudden
shocks in any way. The warranty does not
cover misuse or accidental damage.
Don’t place the remote control in direct
sunlight, or near extremes of temperature.
This will affect the control’s temperature
reading.
Don’t allow the remote control to get wet.
Don’t place near strong electromagnetic
waves.
Don’t mix old and new batteries ! If the
remote control will not be used for a long
time, remove the batteries to avoid
corrosion.
Care of your remote control
Preparation before operation
During Operation
Remove the battery cover and insert new
batteries
.

- Fan only operation
(no cooling)
Press / on the control panel
or on the remote control to select the
desired operating ‘set’temperature.
Do not set the cooling temperature too
low. This will consume more power. 24°C
is the recommended set temperature, with
high fan speed.
Changing the set temperature will
have no effect in FAN & AUTO modes.
Press the SPEED button on the
control panel or the HIGH / LOW buttons
on the remote control to adjust the fan

BOTH & on the control panel or
on the remote control.
During cooling mode, water
will collect and be exhausted out with the
hot air, but in humid conditions will build up
in the tank and need draining when full. If
this occurs, error code “P2” will appear on
the control, the unit will shut down and then
‘beep’ 5 times. The cooler cannot be
restarted until it has been unplugged and
the water tank drained. Refer to the
Maintenance section for draining the tank
should this occur.

Remove both filters
from the air conditioner
and clean every 2 weeks.
Draining the Air Conditioner
Always replace the drain plug
immediately after draining.
To drain the air conditioner, place it over a
drain point before unscrewing the cap and
removing the drain plug, as water will flow out
as soon as the plug is removed.
Remove the plug at the bottom rear of the
appliance and allow the tank to completely
drain (Fig 11B).
Note!
End of season storage:
Always disconnect the air conditioner from the electricity mains before
cleaning or draining.
To maximize the efficiency of the air conditioner, clean regularly.
Cleaning the housing
Cleaning the filters
Never operate the air conditioner without the filters.Note!
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the body clean.
Never use aggressive chemicals, spirits, detergents, chemically treated cloths, or
other cleansing solutions. These substances could possibly damage the cabinet
Use a vacuum cleaner or tap the filter lightly to remove loose dust and dirt and
then rinse under running water (no hotter than 40°C).
Dry thoroughly before replacing.
Take care to replace the filters back into the slots in the cooler.
.
Remove the filters as shown (Fig 11A).

MAINTENANCE

Never try to dismantle the air conditioner yourself.
Problem Check
The air conditioner does
not run.
Is the air conditioner plugged in ?
Is there a power failure ?
Is the "WATER FULL" error code “P2”flashing?
Drain the tank as shown (Fig 11).
Is the room temperature below the set temperature ?
The air conditioner has little
effect (firstly ensure that the
room being cooled is not too
large for the stated capacity
of the air conditioner).
Is there direct sunshine ? Remember to close
curtains or blinds.
Are windows or doors open ?
More people in the room will generate more heat.
Is there something in the room producing excessive
heat ?
Is the exhaust fitted correctly or obstructed ? All
exhaust air needs to be completely removed from
the room.
The air conditioner is not as
cool as it once was.
Are the filters dusty or dirty, restricting the airflow ?
Is the air inlet or outlet blocked ?
Is the room temperature below the set temperature ?
The air conditioner is too
noisy.
Is the air conditioner positioned unevenly, so as to
create vibration ?
Is the floor beneath the air conditioner uneven ?
It is possible that the overheat protection for the
compressor is on. Wait for it to reset.
Note: when changing between different modes
(cooling to fan or heating mode etc) the compressor
will turn off. A 3 minute delay will occur before the
compressor will turn on again.
The compressor will not run.
In case of problems that cannot be fixed by using the above guide,
or if service on your air conditioner is required, please contact your
dealer or designated service agent.
