SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Important!
•Carefully read the instructions before operating the unit.
•This Air Conditioner has an IP24 rating. It is designed mainly indoor use only but will stand outdoor
use being protected against light rain and splashing.
•Rating: This unit must be only connected to a 220-240 V / 50 Hz earthed outlet.
•Installation must be in accordance with regulations of the country where the unit is used.
•If you are in any doubt about the suitability of your electrical supply have it checked and, if
necessary, modified by a qualified electrician.
•This air conditioner has been tested and is safe to use. However, as with any electrical appliances -
use it with care.
•Disconnect the power plug from socket before dismantling, assembling or cleaning.
•Avoid touching any moving parts of the appliance.
•Never insert fingers, pencils or any other objects though the guard
•This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities. It is also not intended for use by those with a lack of experience
and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Do not leave children unsupervised with this appliance.
•Do not clean the unit by spraying it or immersing it in water.
•Never connect the unit to an electrical outlet using an extension cord. If an outlet is not available,
one should be installed by a qualified electrician.
•Never operate this appliance if the cord or plug is damaged. Ensure the power cord is not stretched
or exposed to sharp object/edges.
•A damaged supply cord should be replaced by the manufacturer or a qualified electrician in order
to avoid a hazard.
•Any service other than regular cleaning or filter replacement should be performed by an authorized
service representative. Failure to comply could result in a voided warranty.
•Do not use the appliance for any other purposes than its intended use.
•The air conditioner unit must always be stored and transported upright, otherwise
irreparable damage may be caused to the compressor; if in doubt we suggest waiting at
least 24 hours before starting the unit.
•Avoid restarting the air conditioning unit unless 3 minutes have passed since being turned off. This
prevents damage to the compressor.
•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 unit on a dry and stable surface.
•The appliance should not be installed in laundry or wet rooms
Energy Saving and Unit Safety Protection Tips
•Do not cover or restrict the airflow from the outlet or inlet grills.
•For maximum performance the minimum distance from a wall or objects should be 50cm. Unit is
fitted with thermal cut off sensor that will prevent overheating
•Keep the filters clean. Under normal conditions, filters should only need cleaning once every three
weeks (approximately). Since the filters remove airborne particles, more frequent cleaning
maybe necessary, depending on the air quality.
•For the initial startup set the fan speed to maximum and the thermostat to 4-5 degrees lower than
the current temperature. After, set the fan switch to low and set the thermostat to your desired
setting.
•To protect the unit we recommend not using the cooling function when the ambient temperature is
higher than 35°C.
•To protect the unit we recommend not using the heating function when the ambient temperature is
lower than 7°C. Use electrical or alternative heating to raise the room temperature to 10°C than
start the air conditioner in heat mode and set it to the desired temperature. Heating by heatpump
will take longer but is cheaper than any other form of heating and ideal for maintaining room
temperature constant.

Page 6of 17
Assemble hose fish tail adaptor: Prepare both parts
of hose adaptor and clip them together. Do not push too
hard as this may cause damage. Extend one head of
the hose and screw the adaptor to it.
Note: to screw it into place should take no less than
three rotations
Installation of window kit
Partially open the window and then fix the window kit to the window horizontally or vertically.
Keep at least 50 cm from any objects and the air inlets grills on the side of the unit.
Clip the other end of the hose with the fishtail adapter to the air outlet of the window slider.
Make sure the unit is upright and there are no obstructions to the air inlets and outlet grills.
The window kit is only designed to be installed with sliding or sash windows or doors. The
window kit is not made to be used with any other style of windows. However the fish tail
adaptor can be used with most windows / doors but there will be a cold air escape making
unit less efficient. When using the cooling mode ensure that the opening left is as small as
possible. The best form of installation is through a wall duct.
Please note that the unit will need to be vented out in heating mode, ideally through the wall.
By properly venting your air conditioner expels cold air from your room while efficiently
heating it without leaving cold air coming back.
Note: Avoid bending the air hose more than 30 degrees!
Important safeguards
The length of the soft hose extends from 28 cm to 150 cm. If hose is extended above this
length the unit may malfunction and this can invalidate the warranty. Shorter the hose the
better the results; ideally do not extend more than 40 cm. The outlet vent must be well
ventilated and not obstructed as this will cause the unit to overheat.

OPERATION MODES
ElectrIQ Airflex 15 is the most flexible fully featured air conditioner on the
market.
Combined with the optional Airflex Comfort Kit that enable using this Air
Conditioner in spaces where traditionally there is not enough space to fit an air
conditioner: Server Rooms, Small office spaces etc.
Airflex 15 can be placed outside the room to cool, on balconies, corridors,
mezzanines etc. cooling or heating the space via the air comfort grill which acts
also as a wired remote or can be used with existing remote.
Also by moving the unit outside the room the noise of the portable unit is
significantly decreased.

Page 10 of 17
COOLING
On very warm days we recommend programming the unit to start early, before direct sun
hits the room to cool and set it to a comfortable 20-22 °C .
ElectrIQ Airflex 15 is a self-evaporating air conditioner, so under normal use there will be no
need to empty the internal tank. However if there is a high amount of humidity in the air or
the unit is not vented correctly water will be collected in the internal tank. Also if the unit
operates in cooling mode for a longer period and especially at a time of year with high er air
humidity, the internal condens ation tank may fill and error E4 will be displayed on the LED panel
and unit will require emptying as per user manual. In such instances is recommended to use the
permanent drainage.
COOLING WHEN AC IS PLACED INDOOR (NORMAL OPERATION)
The unit is placed in the room to be cooled.
Connect the hot air hose as displayed in the illustration; the air hose will expel the hot
air from the room outside while the front grills produce cold air.
The hose can be vented v ia a tilted window, a door or wall aperture. Make sure that no warm air
from outside can enter the room.
Set the function to „COOLING“. Set the target temperature using the temperature
control. The temperature range is between 17°C and 30°C target temperature. The unit
must only be used in an ambient temperature of maximum 32°C.
Note: After switching on compressor only starts after the 3 minutes. For full cooling
effect please allow a further 10 minutes of operation.
COOLING WHEN AC IS PLACED OUTDOOR
Connect the cold air hose as displayed in the illustration.
Connect the air hose at the back of the unit after exchanging vents.

Page 11 of 17
Place the unit in the shade if possible and in a cool, protected place in order to
increase efficiency and to avoid overheating. At an ambient temperature of over 32°C, the
unit will stop cooling protecting the compressor. If this become recurrent we recommend
you use the INDOOR COOLING OPERATION. We recommend that drainage hose for
condensation water must be connected.
Set the function to „COOLING“. The selectable temperature range is between 17°C and
30°C. Fresh cold air with high oxygen content cooled by the unit is led into the room via the
air hose. The hose can be vented v ia a tilted window, a door or wall aperture. Make sure that no
warm air from outside can enter the room.
Using the Airflex Comfort Kit will enable wired or wireless control of the air conditioner
from inside the room to be cooled.
Note: After switching on compressor only starts after the 3 minutes. For full cooling
effect please allow a further 10 minutes of operation.
HEATING
Be aware on very cold days only to operate the unit indoors. Note that colder is the outside
temperature the longer it takes to heat the room. We recommend that when you achieved
the desired temperature to leave the unit on thermostatic control and it will maintain the set
temperature very economically.
To improve the heating effect we recommend you remove the top drain port rubber plug
allow the condensation water to drain using the drainage hose. However, the drainage hose
does not have to be connected in the heating mode. Please make sure that the
condensation water outlet is closed with the rubber cap during operation. E4 water tank light
will come up regularly and you will need to drain the internal tank.
Heat pump operating range is 7°C-23°C when placed indoor. It will work if the outside
temperature is less than 7°C but the indoor temperature should be higher than 7°C. You
may want to quicker heat the room with an electric radiator and only maintain the
temperature achieved cheaper using the heat pump air conditioner.
HEATING WHEN AC IS PLACED INDOOR
Connect the cold air hose as displayed in the illustration after exchanging the grills. The air
hose will expel the cold air from the room outside while the front grills produce hot air.
The hose can be vented via a tilted window, a door or wall aperture. Make sure that no cold
air from outside can enter the room. For effective heating, we recommend through the wall
venting.
Set the function to „Heating“. The selectable temperature range is between 15°C and 25°C
temperature.
Note: After switching on compressor only starts after the 3 minutes. For full heating
effect please allow a further 10 minutes of operation.

Page 12 of 17
HEATING WHEN AC IS PLACED OUTDOOR
Connect the Hot air hose as displayed in the illustration after exchanging the grills.
The air hose will expel the cold air from the room outside while the front grills produce hot
air.
The unit is placed outside the room to be heated. Outdoor operation is ideal for the
autumn period in which outside temperatures do no fall below 10°C. (If the outside
temperature should however fall below 10°C continuously, we recommend indoor
operation).
The hose can be vented via a tilted window, a door or wall aperture. Make sure that no cold
air from outside can enter the room. For effective heating, we recommend through the wall
venting. Set the function to „Heating“. The selectable temperature range is between 15°C
and 25°C temperature.
Note: After switching on compressor only starts after the 3 minutes. For full heating
effect please allow a further 10 minutes of operation.
Using the Airflex Comfort Kit will enable wired or wireless control of the air conditioner
from inside the room to be heated.
DEHUMIDIFICATION
Airflex 15 is a powerful dehumidifier commercial grade 70 litres / day at 80%RH
rating. Humidity is extracted from the air, collected in the water tank and discharged via the
condensation drain pipe. We recommend using a large bucket or discharging through the
wall. You can attach also a inline pump.
Only use the exhaust Air hose if the humidity of the outside air is lower than the
humidity inside room. Set the function to “Dehumidify”.
As the unit does not have a humidistat we recommend using the stopping timer to
control the running period.

Page 13 of 17
WATER-DRAINAGE
This model is an advanced self-evaporative air conditioner, which reduces the need to
empty the water tank in cooling mode. If the unit is vented correctly most of the water is
reused to cool the condenser coils and any excess is evaporated.
Please do not use continuous drainage if you intend to use the self-evaporating facility for
improved cooling effect.
Do not use air exhaust hose vented out if you want to maximise the dehumidifier mode
water extraction.
1. Manual drainage:
1.1 When the internal water tank is full the unit will stop working
1.2 Shut off the unit and unplug. Try not to move the model abruptly as this may
cause water to spill out from internal water tank.
1.3 Place a tray under the water plug.
1.4 Screw off the water plug and unplug the water blocker - water will drain from the
internal container.
1.5 Put the water blocker back
2. Continuous drainage:
2.1 Remove the water plug
2.2 Use a water pipe to connect to the water outlet.
2.3 You can plumb this pipe into your current plumbing system, lead it outside or
use a water pump.
Note
When the unit is in the cooling function, it is recommended not to have the drain pipe installed. Please
make sure that the rubber cap is in place when the unit is running.
When operating the heating function, the low rubber cap (2) on drain port should be pulled out and
install a proper drain pipe in order to improve the heating effect
When operating the dehumidifying function the unit must be used with a drain hose.
●Please remove the air exhaust hose, connect a drain hose to the drain hole and lead the water to
the outside in order to intensify dehumidifying capacity.
