SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Important!
• Carefully read the instructions before operating the unit
• This appliance is for indoor use only.
• 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, modied by a qualied 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.
• Avoid touching any moving parts of the appliance.
• Never insert ngers, 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 qualied 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 qualied
electrician in order to avoid a hazard.
• Any service other than regular cleaning or lter 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.
32

• The appliance must be placed in a room without sources of ignition (for example: open
ames, 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 / 8E contains about 220 g of R290 refrigerant gas.
• The ECOSILENT10 / 10E contains about 280 g of R290 refrigerant gas.
• Do not use or store in an unventilated space with an area smaller than 10.6 m2per unit
(ECOSILENT8 / 8E) or 13.4 m2 per unit (ECOSILENT10 / 10E).
• The room must be such as to prevent stagnation of possible leaks of refrigerant gas as
there could be a danger of re 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 qualied
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 airow from the outlet or inlet grills.
• For maximum performance the minimum distance from a wall or objects should be
50cm.
• Keep the lters clean. Under normal conditions, lters should only need cleaning once
every three weeks (approximately). Since the lters 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.

INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION OF WINDOW KIT
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 shtail connector to the end of the hose, by
extending the end and twisting until rmly 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.
The window kit (slide bar and shtail) can be used
with sliding windows and doors. For other types of
window, the shtail 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 shtail 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.
3. Make sure the unit is upright and there are no obstructions to
the air inlets and outlet grills.

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 sh tail adaptor can be used without the slide bar with most windows / doors.
• When using the air conditioner ensure that the opening around the shtail adaptor is as small as
possible to ensure the efciency 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 efciently 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 overowing.
Permanent plumbing can be also installed or an external uplift water pump can be set up to allow
for uninterrupted use.
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 not to reduce the
performance of the unit.

gasoline, etc; otherwise, as this may cause damage to the surface and or the internal workings of the
machine
AIR FILTER CLEANING
If the lter screen is clogged with dust, the effectiveness of the air conditioner is reduced. The lter screen
should be cleaned once every two weeks or as often as necessarily in your environment.
CLEAN THE UPPER FILTER SCREEN FRAME

from its frame. If present, unscrew the screws xing the lter before removing it (as shown in the above
gure).
Put the evaporator lter screen into warm water with neutral detergent (about 40oC /104oF) and dry it in
the shade after rinsing clean.
CLEAN THE LOWER FILTER SCREEN FRAME
Hold the handle of the air inlet lter screen frame, and pull it outward gently to remove it.
