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.
•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

INSTALLATION
WARNING: Before using this unit, please keep it upright for at least 3-4 hours.
This unit can easily be moved from one room to another. While moving the unit please note that it must
always be kept upright and then placed on an even surface.
1. Attach the fishtail connector to the end of the hose, by
extending the end and twisting until firmly attached (At least
3 full rotations).
2. Attach the connector on the opposite end of the pipe to the exhaust outlet
on the rear of the appliance by putting into position and twisting to lock in
place.
3. Make sure the unit is upright and there are no obstructions to the air
inlets and outlet grills.
INSTALLATION OF WINDOW KIT
The window kit (slide bar and fishtail) can be used with sliding windows and doors. For other types of window, the
fishtail should be used on its own.
1. Partially open the window and place the
extended slide bar in position before closing
the window onto it.
2. Fix the fishtail adaptor into the
opening on the slide bar
3. Fix the exhaust connector on
the opposite end of the exhaust
hose to the exhaust outlet on
the rear of the air conditioner.

6
INSTALLING THE HEPA FILTER (OPTIONAL)
The air conditioner can accommodate a HEPA filter which will purify the
air expelled back into the room in any operating mode. These can be
purchased from the stockist using the code: FIL-ECOSILENTHEPA.
The HEPA filter should be unwrapped and installed in the upper air inlet.
To install, remove the upper filter frame from the air conditioner by
pressing the two clips on the top of the filter frame. Place the HEPA filter
within the filter frame before refitting onto the unit.
In order to maintain performance, the filter should be regularly
vacuumed. The filter should be replaced every six months, depending on
usage and air quality.
NOTES:
•The window kit is only designed to be installed with sliding or sash windows or doors. The window
kit is not designed or to be used with any other style of windows.
•The fish tail adaptor can be used without the slide bar with most windows / doors.
•When using the air conditioner ensure that the opening left around the fishtail is as small as
possible as the cooling will be less efficient.
•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 an external water tank is used, monitored and regularly emptied before overflowing.
Permanent plumbing can be also installed for dry mode or an external uplift water pump can be
set up for unattended use.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
The length of the soft hose extends from approximately 35 cm to 200 cm. If hose is extended above this
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 hose as straight and short as possible
and avoid bending the air hose by more than 30 degrees in order not to reduce the performance of the
unit.

MULTI PROTECTIVE FUNCTIONS
FROST PROTECTION
In COOL, DRY or SMART COOL 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 “E7”. 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 model abruptly as this may
cause the water in the internal tank to spill out.
Place a tray under the lower water plug or place the unit in a drainage area.
Unscrew the drain plug cap and remove the rubber stopper - water will drain
from the internal tank. Put the rubber stopper back and screw the drain plug
cap back into place.
CONTINUOUS DRAINAGE:
Unscrew the drain plug cap and remove the rubber stopper.
Connect a water pipe to the upper water outlet.
You can plumb this pipe into your current plumbing system, lead it outside and
use gravity fall or use a water pump.
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.
