SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Important!
Carefully read the instructions before operating the unit.
This Air Conditioner has an IP24 rating. It is designed
mainly for indoor use but will stand up to 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 appliance - use it with care.
Disconnect the power from the unit before dismantling, assembling or cleaning.
Avoid touching any moving parts of the appliance.
Never insert fingers, pencils or any other objects through 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 objects or edges.
The power cord must not be immersed in water, as this could result in electric
shock.
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 or an external plug in timer 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
The appliance must be placed in a room without sources of ignition (for example:
open flames, an operating gas appliance or an operating electric heater).
R290 refrigerant gas complies with European environmental directives.
R290 has a low GWP (Global Warming Potential) of 3.
The air conditioner contains about 235 g of R290 refrigerant gas.
Do not use or store in an unventilated space with an area smaller than 11.3m2per
unit. The room must be such as to prevent stagnation of possible leaks of
refrigerant gas as there could be a danger of fire or explosion hazard should the
refrigerant come into contact with electric heaters, stoves or other sources of
ignition.
If the appliance is installed, used or stored in an unventilated room, the room must
be such as to prevent stagnation of possible leaks of refrigerant gas as there could
be a danger of fire or explosion should the refrigerant come into contact with electric
heaters, stoves or other sources of ignition.
Refrigerant gas may be odourless.
Do not use the product and contact the retailer for advice, if damage has occurred
to the unit which may have compromised the refrigerant system.
Any repairs or maintenance must only be carried out on the unit by a suitably
qualified engineer. Before opening and servicing the unit the authorized engineer
must be in possession of a copy of the manufacturer’s service manual and must
follow the safety information contained within it to ensure all hazards are minimized.
The refrigerant system should not be perforated or punctured.
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. The unit is fitted with a 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 32°C.
To protect the unit we recommend not using the heating function when the ambient
temperature is lower than 7°C. Use 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 heat pump will take longer but is much more
efficient than any other form of heating and ideal for maintaining a constant room
temperature.

ATTACHING THE HOSE
1. Clip the hose connector and front
vent to the sides of the unit (after
removing the hose from storage)
2. Insert the hose and rotate it firmly
into the adapter
3. To remove the hose twist it in the
opposite direction.
Note: To install the hose for heat mode please remove the hose, the hose connector and
front vent from the unit and re fit on the opposite sides. The process should be reversed to
put the unit back in to cooling mode.

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 inlet and outlet grills.
The window kit is only designed to be installed with sliding or sash windows and doors. The
window kit is not made to be used with any other style of window. However the fish tail
adaptor can be used without the slide bar on most windows and doors, but without sealing
the rest of the window opening the efficiency of the unit will be reduced. When using 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 still need to be vented 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 soft hose will extend from 28 cm to 150 cm, and the unit will support hoses of upto
300cm. If hose is extended above this length the unit may malfunction and this can
invalidate the warranty. The shorter the hose the better the results; ideally for best
performance, do not extend the hose by more than 40 cm. The outlet vent must be well
ventilated and not obstructed as this will cause the unit to overheat.
