SAFETY
For indoor use only.
Ensure the appliance has been installed in
accordance with national wiring regulations.
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
through the ventilating slots or restrict the air
inlets & outlets (Fig 2).
Closely supervise any children and pets
when the air conditioner is in use.
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 side of
the unit - refer Fig 4). 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

Step 1.
Step 2
Step 3.
Push the Hose End onto the cooler,
and rotate so the slot locks onto the catch
(Fig 5). Fit the exhaust hose to the Hose
End and Hose Exhaust Nozzle by turning
clockwise.
Open a window and fit the Window
Kit. Extend the attachments as required and
lock into place with the wingnuts provided.
Ensure the outlet is not obscured. The
Window Kit can be installed horizontally or
vertically, to suit your window type. Fit the
Exhaust Nozzle to the Window Kit, and lock
into place (Fig 7A & 7B ).
Connect the Drain Pump Connector
to the drain hole on the rear panel (Fig 6).
Push firmly to lock into place.
. Connect the supplied water hose to
the Drain Pump Connector (Fig 6).
Lead the other end of the hose
through the hole in the Window Kit to the
outside or to a suitable location for drainage
i.e. a drain or sink.
Note!
Note!
The minimum distance required
from the operating air conditioner to
any obstructing objects or walls is
50cm.
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
performance and possibly result in
damage to the air conditioner.
Hot air and possibly mist will be
emitted from the exhaust hose.
It is critical to the performance of
the unit 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 of any form. The warranty does
not cover misuse or accidental damage.
Don’t place the remote control in direct
sunlight, or near extremes of temperature.
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

the drain plug and cap.
Push the release button (Fig 12C) to
disengage the Drain Pump Connector.
Removing the Drain Hose
Always disconnect the air conditioner from the electricity mains before cleaning or
draining.
To maximize the efficiency of the air conditioner, clean regularly.
Never operate the air conditioner without the filter.
Cleaning the housing
Cleaning 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 filter back into the slot in the cooler.
.
Remove the filter from the top air inlet vent as shown (Fig 12A).
End of season storage:
•Drain any water from the unit.
•Operate the unit in fan only mode for a few hours, to thoroughly dry the inside.
•Clean or change the filter.
•Replace in the original carton or cover for storage.
•Unplug and carefully store the power cord and plug end.
