Introduction.
Thank you for choosing a Dimplex air conditioner.This manual contains information,
regulations and warnings which are of fundamental importance if the appliance is to be
installed correctly and the highest performance, in the safest possible conditions is to be
obtained.We suggest that you read the manual carefully before installing or starting up
the appliance.
The new Dimplex appliances represent the most highly developed air conditioning units
available today.
Features.
The air-conditioning unit is of the mono tube type, transferable (on Wheels) with air/air
operating system for domestic use and has 3 settings.
• Ventilate/Fan.
• Cool.
• Dehumidify.

3
The ventilation mode "moves" the air allowing for its recycling.
The cooling mode, a refrigerating circuit (compressor), cools the room by transferring
the heat from inside to outside though the air exhaust hose.While cooling, the air-
conditioning unit also dehumidifies the room air.
Humidity absorbed from the air condenses and turns into water that is collected in the
internal tank.The water level in the tank is automatically controlled by a float and micro
switch and when the preset level is exceeded the indicator above the 'Power' Switch will
light and the compressor will shut off automatically, the fan motor will stay on circulating
the air. At this time, you must empty the water tank as described in "Drainage" page 9.
Please Note!
During very humid conditions it will be necessary to empty the water tank more
frequently.
An added feature of this model, when enough water is collected in the tank, water is
automatically pumped up and through the condenser.The recycled water cools the
condenser which increases the cooling capacity output also evaporating some of the
water alleviating the frequency of having to empty the water tank.
Dehumidification, in the cooling mode your air-conditioner does remove moisture from
the air however another feature of this machine it, can be set up to operate as a
Dehumidifier with better moisture removal performance.

Important Safeguards.
• The air conditioning unit must always be stored and transported upright. Otherwise
you may cause irreparable damage to the compressor; in case of doubt we suggest
you wait for at least 24 hours before you start the air-conditioner.
• Avoid restarting the air conditioning unit unless 4 minutes have passed since it was
turned off or the compressor may suffer damage.
• Never use the mains plug as a switch to start and turn off the air conditioning unit.
Use the provided ON/OFF switch located on the control panel.
• Always place the portable air conditioner on a stable surface.
• Connect the portable air conditioner to a correct wall socket.
• Mount the exhaust hose on the portable air conditioner.
• The air conditioning unit should only be used by adults: do not allow children to play
with it.
Energy Saving Tips.
• Do not cover or restrict the airflow from the Outlet or Inlet grills.
Minimal distance from furniture and wall is 50cm.
• Keep blinds and /or draperies, on any windows, closed during the sunniest part of the
day.
• Keep the filter clean. Under normal conditions, the filters should be cleaned
approximately every 30 days. Since the filters remove airborne particles, more
frequent cleaning maybe necessary, depending on the indoor air quality.
• Set the fan speed switch to high cool and the thermostat to the coolest position for
the initial start-up, then set the Fan switch to Low cool and lower the thermostat to a
comfortable setting.

Installation.
Mounting of the unit
This unit is a PORTABLE AIR CONDITIONER. It can be moved from room to room, so
the cooling can follow you anywhere.The mounting is easy, beneath a window or wall.
Please refer to either of the following ways -
1. Using the foam strips
• Connect the supplied foam
strips with the exhaust pipe,
let the hot air flow to the
outside.
• Should the foam strip(s) be
too large, cut off the extra
part to fit the window.
1. Adaptor - for insertion over hose and
into back of the air conditioner.
2. Adaptor - for insertion over hose and
into foam strip.
3. Exhaust hose.
4. Foam strip - for filling the open
window space and with hole for
connection to exhaust hose.
5. Foam strip - for filling the open
window space.
6. Round window connector.
7. Cap for round window connector.
8. Water tray.

2. Using the round window
connectors.
• Make a hole (diameter 112mm)
in the wall/glass to fit the
supplied round window
connector.
• Take off the adaptor (the
one which does not connect
with the unit), fit the hose
directly to the round window
connector.
• When the hole is not in use.
Use the cap for the round
window connector to cover
the hole.
Mounting of the exhaust pipe
1. The supplied exhaust hose can be extended
from 300 to 1500mm for mounting. It is
recommended that you use the hose in the
shortest possible length.
2. Take care to prevent any bow or bend in
the middle of the exhaust hose, as this will
trap hot exhaust air, which will radiate into
the room and cause this unit to shut itself
off due to overheating.
WARNING!
The length of the exhaust pipe is specially
designed according to the specification of
this product. Do not replace or extend it
with your own private hose as this could
cause the unit to malfunction.

direction of the horizontal louvres.
NOTICE!
To prolong the compressor’s life, the compressor will only work 3 minutes after you switch the
unit on or re-switch on.The cooling system will switch off if the ambient temperature is lower
than the set one.The ventilation, however, keeps working on the set level. If the ambient
temperature rises above the selected level, the cooling will return to work.

Drainage.
During the process of cooling, water will be generated from the air and collected in the
water tank inside the unit.When the tank is full, the compressor will stop and the Full
Water indicator on the control panel will come on to remind you to empty the water
tank. During this time the fan will continue to operate, circulating the air.The water tank
should be emptied as follows:
1. Turn off the unit.
2. Position the supplied plastic water tray,
flat on the floor, under the drain hole.
3. Remove the water stopper and the
rubber plug. Empty the condensed
water from the air conditioner.
4. When the water tray is almost full,
replace the rubber plug to stop the
flow of water, empty the water tray.
5. Repeat step 2, 3, 4, till all the condensed
water is emptied.
6. After all condensed water is drained,
replace the rubber plug and water
stopper.
The FULL WATER indicator should be
off now.

Dehumidification.
NOTE! The machine operates in the cooling mode but it does not lower the room
temperature. It absorbs the excessive humidity present in the air.
1. Plug the unit into proper electrical outlet.
2. Position the exhaust tube as shown or remove
from the air-conditioner.
3. Turn the TIMER to position ON or 1 to 8
hours automatic timer setting.
4. Set the FAN SPEED control to the desired
output of airflow, high or low.
5. Set the THERMOSTAT to the maximum
cooing position.
6. When the water tank is full, the light above
'Power' switch will light and the compressor will
shut off automatically, the fan will stay on circulating the air. At this time, you must
empty the water tank as described "Draining the Condensed Water".
Continuous Drainage.
In very humid conditions to avoid the unit from continually shutting down when the
water tank is full the unit can also be continuously drained if a convenient drainage
position is available.
Important!
The water is only gravity drained therefore the tube must lay lower and drain at a lower level
than the outlet tube at the rear of the air conditioner.
• Before operating the air conditioner, remove the water stopper, take out the
rubber plug and connect a PVC tube 12mm diameter.
Maintenance.
