Important Safeguards.
• Read all instructions.
• Disconnect the power plug before dismantling, assembling or before cleaning.
• Avoid touching mobile parts of the appliance.
• Never insert fingers, pencils or any other objects though the guards whenever the power plug is
connected, especially while running.
• The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons unless they have been
adequately supervised by a responsible person to ensure that they can use the unit safely.
• Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• Do not use the appliance for any other purpose than its intended use.
• The appliance must not be used if the guards are not fastened according to instructions.
• When the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a
similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
• Do not use your appliance with an extension cord unless it has been checked and tested by a
qualified electrician or electrical supplier.
• Return to Hagemeyer or authorised service agent.
• 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 to wait for at least 24 hours
before you start the air-conditioning unit.
• Avoid restarting the airconditioning unit unless 4 minutes have passed since being turned off, or the
compressor may get damaged.
• 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 dry stable surface.
Energy Saving Tips.
• Do not cover or restrict the airflow from the Outlet or Inlet grills.
• The minimum distance from furniture and wall should be 50cm.
• Keep blinds and /or draperies, on any windows, closed during the sunniest part of the day.
• Keep the filters 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.

Press Mode button or on the Remote to choose Dehumidifying mode. The fan speed is
automatically selected to Low.
LED displays ambient room temperature. Fan speed and temperature cannot be adjusted.
When the water tank is full, the Water Full Indicator will illuminate 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 in the Drainage section.
Continuous Drainage.
In very humid conditions to avoid the unit from shutting down when the water tank is full the unit can
also be continuously drained if a convenient drainage position is available.
A longer PVC tube can be used to extend the drainage outlet.
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.

NOTE:
The length of the air exhaust duct is between 600mm to 1400mm. We
suggest using the minimum length of the air exhaust duct for maximum
performance.
This length has been designed especially according to the
specifications of the air conditioner. Do not use an extension or
exchange of a different hose as that may lead to malfunction.

Adding Water.
An added feature of this model.
Humidity absorbed from the air condenses at the Evaporator, turns into water and is collected in the
internal tank. When enough water is collected it is pumped up and over the condenser, assisting the
cooling of the refrigerated gas, increasing the COOLING CAPACITY. Some of this recycled water is
evaporated at condenser and expelled from the machine as water vapor though the exhaust hose.
To utilise the full potential of your air conditioner from initial start up we recommend that 1500 mls of
water be added to the internal water tank via the small draw located at the rear bottom center of the
machine.
Normally an adequate quantity of water is collected to keep the recycling process operating.
During very humid conditions the collection of water may over take the evaporation rate and the
internal tank may become full.
The maximum water level in the tank is controlled by a float and micro switch, when the preset level
is exceeded the Water Full Indicator will light and the compressor will shut off automatically, the fan
motor will stay circulating the air. A buzzer will sound every 5 minutes until the water is drained.
At this time, you must empty the water tank as described “ Water Drainage”.
When the ambient temperature reaches 38º or greater while the Compressor is running and there is
no water in the internal tank the Water Injection Indicator will flash. This indicates that you should add
water, after filling the indicator goes off.
When the ambient temperature is lower than 38º while the compressor has been running over an
hour and there is no water in the internal tank the Water Injection Indicator will flash. This again
indicates that you should add water, after filling the indicator goes off.

During the operation of this portable unit, the system (or water sensor) checks the water level every
hour, if there is inadequate water the Water Indicator will flash requesting water filling.
There is a time lag between the system detecting low water and the Water Injection Indicator flashing
to indicate adding water.
During low humidity it maybe necessary to add more water to the internal tank to keep the recycling
process functioning.
If there is any doubt regards the quantity of water in the tank we suggest that you drain the
tank and start again adding the 1500 mls.
Water Drainage.
During the process of cooling or Dehumidifying, 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 Water Full
Indicator on the control panel will come on to remind you to empty the water tank.
The water tank should be emptied as follows:
1. Turn off the unit.
2. Position a suitable tray under the drain tube to catch the water. The supplied plastic tube can also
be used to extend the drainpipe.
3. Remove the rubber plug and 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.
The FULL WATER indicator should be off now.
If the drainpipe is shorter than you need, you can purchase a PVC pipe (9mm I.D.). Then connect it
to the drainpipe with the drainpipe supplied.
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU DO NOT MOVE THE UNIT AROUND WITHOUT FIRSTLY
DRAINING THE INTERNAL TANK. IF WATER IS LEFT IN THE UNIT THEN IT MAY SPILL OUT
ONTO THE FLOOR OR CARPET.
Maintenance
Cleaning
Turn off the unit and pull the plug out of the socket before cleaning.
1.Clean the surface
Clean the surface of the unit with a duster or a damp soft cloth.
Do not use chemical solvent like benzene, alcohol, gasoline and etc,
