•Never use the mains plug as a switch to start and turn off the air conditioning unit. Use
the provided ON/OFF button 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).
•R1234yf refrigerant gas complies with European environmental directives.
•R1234yf has a low GWP (Global Warming Potential) of 4.
•The air conditioners contain around 950 g of R1234yf refrigerant gas.
•Do not use or store in an unventilated space with an area smaller than 6 m2per 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 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

Energy Saving and Unit Safety Protection Tips
•Do not cover or restrict the airflow from the air outlet or inlet.
•For maximum performance the minimum distance from a wall or objects should be
50cm.
•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 start-up set the fan speed to maximum and the thermostat to 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 45oC or lower than 18oC.

INSTALLATION
COLD AIR OUTLETS
1. Line up the dimple on the Elbow with the
notch on the Hose connector on the top of
the air conditioner.
2. Rotate anticlockwise until a click can be
heard, indicating the elbow has locked into
place.
3. Insert the Cold Air Hose into the Elbow,
again lining up the dimple with the notch in
the Elbow.
4. Rotate the pipe anticlockwise to fix it in
place.
5. The pipe can then be extended and pointed
in the desired direction.
6. Repeat for the second air outlet.
HOT AIR OUTLET
1. Push the Hot Air Hose onto the Hot air outlet on the top of
the appliance.
2. Extend the pipe and route it outside.
NOTES:
•The best form of installation is through a wall duct. By properly venting you expel hot air from your room
while efficiently cooling it.
•Your air conditioner should be used without the vent pipe in dry mode. When using dry mode ensure
that the water tank is monitored and regularly emptied. Permanent plumbing can be also installed for
dry mode or an external uplift water pump can be set up for unattended use.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
If hoses are extended above the permitted length, the unit may
malfunction which can invalidate the warranty. The outlet vent must be
well ventilated and not obstructed as this will cause the unit to
overheat. Keep the all the hoses as straight and short as possible and
avoid bending the air hose by more than 45 degrees in order to
maintain the performance of the unit. Excessive bends in the hose may
prevent the unit from expelling the hot air, which can lead to internal
damage which would invalidate the warranty. Ensure that sufficient
space is left in from the end of the vent pipes (30cm –Cold air, 90cm
Hot air)

INDICATORS
MULTI PROTECTIVE FUNCTIONS
FROST PROTECTION
In COOL, DRY or AUTO modes, if the temperature of the exhaust is too low, the machine will automatically stop
operating until the temperature has risen.
OVERFLOW PROTECTION
When the water in the internal water tank exceeds the warning level, the machine will stop operating and sound
an alarm with the LCD display showing “E4”. To resume operation empty the internal water tank. After the
water is emptied, the machine will automatically return to the original state.
AUTO-DEFROST
The machine has automatic defrosting function. If during operation the temperature of the internal coils drops
too low, the unit will enter auto defrost and the heating symbol will flash on the control panel.
AUTOMATIC THERMAL PROTECTION
To protect the service life of the machine, the machine has automatic thermal protection. If the temperature
within the unit is outside of the specified range, the compressor and the lower motor will stop operation. The
appliance will automatically return to normal operation after the temperature of the machine recovers.
COMPRESSOR PROTECTION
To prevent damage to the compressor there is a 3 minute delay start protection function.

EMPTYING THE INTERNAL WATER TANK
MANUAL DRAINAGE:
When the internal water tank is full the unit will stop working.
Shut off the unit and unplug. Try not to move the appliance as this may cause the water in the internal tank to
spill out. Remove the water tank from the base of the unit and empty into a sink or drain. Replace the water
tank in the unit before plugging back in and restarting operation.
CONTINUOUS DRAINAGE:
Remove the water tank from the unit, and connect the drainage
pipe to the spout.. The drain is gravity fed, so can be routed
downwards to a suitable drain. Alternatively the pipe can be
attached to an external uplift pump (not supplied) to pump the
water uphill to a suitable drainage point.
NOTE: This model has a self-evaporative function, which reduces
the need to empty the water tank. 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.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
PLEASE TURN OFF THE UNIT AND UNPLUG FROM THE MAINS BEFORE CLEANING OR PERFORMING ANY
MAINTENANCE
CLEAN THE SURFACE
Clean the surface of the machine with a wet soft cloth. Do not use chemicals, such as benzene, alcohol, gasoline, etc;
otherwise, as this may cause damage to the surface and or the internal workings of the machine
AIR FILTER CLEANING
If the filter screen is clogged with dust, the effectiveness of the air conditioner is reduced. The filter screen should be
cleaned once every two weeks or as often as necessarily in your environment.
END OF SEASON MAINTENANCE
1. Empty the internal water tank.
2. Then switch the unit to low fan mode.
3. Keep the unit in this mode for half day - until the conduit is dried. Doing this helps to keep the inside of
the unit dry and prevents mould from developing
4. Turn off the unit and pull out the plug.
5. Empty the water tank again.
6. Coil the wire and bind it together, then put it into the accessories space.
7. Separate the vent pipes and store the, safely.
