OPERATION
LOCATION
Ensure the portable air conditioner is
installed on a at surface with adequate
space, to ensure the air inlets and outlets
are not blocked.
Keep a minimum clearance of 50cm from
walls and other objects. Locate the unit, so
the exhaust pipe and drain hose can reach
a suitable window, as shown.
Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the exhaust
pipe. The optional adjustable window slider
is included to ensure the exhaust pipe is
held in place (in the window) and prevents
expelled hot air re-entering the room.
The appliance should not be used in damp areas such as a laundry or
bathroom. Do not place the unit where it will be in direct sunlight, as it
may overheat and turn off.
ADJUSTABLE WINDOW SLIDER KIT
The adjustable window slider kit is installed as below:

DRAINING THE WATER TANK
When the air conditioner is used, condensation may be produced that
cannot be removed via the exhaust hose. This water is captured by an
internal water tank. When the water tank is full, the unit will stop working
and the FULL indicator light will turn on.
When the FULL indicator light has turned on, the water tank must be
manually drained by following the below steps:
1. Switch off and unplug the unit.
2. Move the unit to a suitable place to drain the water. Consider placing
a tray or container under the outlet to catch the water.
3. Remove the lower drain plug (9) - refer to parts illustration on page 3.
4. Slightly tilt the unit to the rear to drain the water.
5. Once the water has completely drained, replace the drain plug (9).
IMPORTANT:
• Ensure the drain plug is re-tted to the drain outlet before use.
• Extend the exhaust back out the window before restarting the unit.
