Installation
PREPARATION
NOTE: All the illustrations in the manual are for explanatory purposes only. Your
machine may be slightly dierent. The unit can be controlled by the control panel or
with the remote control.
EXHAUST HOSE
The exhaust hose and adaptor must be installed or removed in accordance with the
set FUNCTION. For COOL & DRY functions, the exhaust hose must be installed. For
FAN only - the exhaust hose should be removed.
EXHAUSTING HOT AIR
In COOL function the appliance must be placed close to a window or opening so the
warm exhaust air can be expelled outside.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT LOCATION
Your installation location should meet the following requirements:
• Make sure that you install your unit on an even surface to minimize noise and
vibration.
• The unit must be installed near a sucient power outlet, and if using a continuous
drainage method, then the plug areas should be accessible.
• The unit should be located at least 50cm from the nearest wall to ensure proper
air circulation. The horizontal louvre blade should be at least 50cm away from
obstacles.
• The exhaust hose can be extended, however it's best to keep it to the minimum
length required. Ensure the hose doesnt have any sharp bends, sagging areas or
kinks
• DO NOT cover the Intakes, outlets or remote control signal receptor of the unit,
as this could cause damage to the unit.

Installation
EXHAUST HOSE INSTALLATION
1. Rotating the exhaust hose according to the direction in Fig (1) will remove the
hose from the unit.
2. Rotating the exhaust hose according to the direction in Fig (2) will attach the
hose to the unit.
3. Extend the exhaust hose to a length of no more than 400mm. The exhaust hose
must be kept parallel and must not be bent up or down.
NOTE: This unit has a self evaporative system which removes excess condensation
by means of evaporating water collected in the tank. Therefore saving you the hassle
of having to use a drip tray or drainage hose. Please make sure the rubber cap is
locked into position to avoid any leakage.
NOTE: In high humidity areas, there may be excess water condensation produced
that cannot be removed or evaporated. In this instance, the unit will need to be
drained. View the WATER DRAINAGE section for details. The unit will automatically
switch OFF when the internal water tank is full.
