•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 appliance before dismantling, assembling or cleaning.

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/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 authorised service representative. Failure to comply could result in a voided
warranty.
•Do not use the appliance for any purpose other 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 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).
•R290 refrigerant gas complies with European environmental directives.
•R290 has a low GWP (Global Warming Potential) of 3.
•The ECOSILENT8 contains about 180 g of R290 refrigerant gas.
•The ECOSILENT10 contains about 240 g of R290 refrigerant gas.
•Do not use or store in an unventilated space with an area smaller than 8.7 m2per unit
(ECOSILENT8) or 11.5 m2per unit (ECOSILENT10).
•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 authorised 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.
•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 room temperature. After, set appliance to your desired
settings.
•To protect the unit, we recommend not using the cooling function when the ambient
temperature is higher than 35oC.

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 of the hose
and twisting until firmly attached to the
connector (At least 3 full rotations).
2. Attach the Hose to the Outlet adaptor, in the
same way by extending the end of the hose
and twisting until firmly attached (At least 3
full rotations).

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.
NOTES:
•The window kit is only designed to be installed with sliding or sash windows or doors. The window
kit is not designed 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 around the fishtail adaptor is as small as
possible to ensure the efficiency of the unit is not reduced.
•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 or an external uplift water pump can be set up to allow
for uninterrupted use.
1. Push the screw thread of the plate through
the hole in the rear of the front slide bar
section.
2. Slide the rear section of the slide bar onto the
front section lining up the plate so it runs
within the groove. Extend the bar to the
required length, and use the supplied wing nut
to secure
3. Partially open the
window and place the
extended slide bar in
position before closing
the window onto it.
4. Fix the fishtail adaptor
into the opening on
the slide bar.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
The length of the soft hose extends from approximately 30 cm to 180 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 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.

expelled through the vent pipe. The desired room temperature can be set between 17 and 30
degrees using the + and –buttons, and the fan speed can be changed using the SPEED button.
FAN: The fan speed can be changed pressing the SPEED button.
DRY: Should be operated without the vent hose, but with continuous drainage to remove
moisture from the air. The unit will run in low fan speed, with dH shown on the display. Do not
use when the room temperature is below 15 degrees.
AUTO: The unit will work in cooling mode when the room temperature is 24 degrees or higher.
The fan speed will automatically adjust based on the amount of cooling required. When the
temperature is below 24 degrees the unit will work in fan mode.
Press the SPEED button to change between the five fan speeds. The display and LED’s will
