IMPORTANT!
•Carefully read the instructions before
operating the unit
•This appliance comprises of an indoor
and an outdoor unit. The indoor slim
evaporator is designed exclusively for
indoor installations while the external
condenser can be installed outside while
still away from flood water or snow line.
•Always place the unit on a dry and stable
surface. Install the outdoor unit on a wall
with wall-mounting brackets or fix to a
floor slab with special floor mounting slab
bolts or brackets away from flood or snow
lines.
•Rating: This unit must be only connected
to a 220-240 V / 50 Hz earthed power
source.
•Installation must be in accordance with
the regulations of the country where the
unit is used.
•This appliance is intended for permanent
installation into a fixed structure, and
should not be installed on vehicles.
•The outdoor part of 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.
•These air conditioners are supplied with
pre flared refrigeration pipes and
electrical cables, which enables the
installer to reduce the installation time.
•European Union regulations requires for
an F-Gas trained engineer to handle any
operation where non-qualified
intervention could cause fluorinated gas
to escape. A commissioning certificate
must be issued with any installation.
•This air conditioner contains R32 which is
a safe efficient refrigerant which has a
lower environmental burden than
traditional refrigerants.
•The refrigerant used in this air
conditioner is an environmentally friendly
hydrocarbon R32, which has a very low
Global Warming Potential compared to
traditional refrigerants.
•R32 is classed as slightly flammable and
as such naked flames and sources of
ignition should be kept a safe distance
from the unit.
•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 before
dismantling, assembling or cleaning.
•Never connect the unit to an electrical
outlet using an extension cord. Both the
indoor unit and outdoor must be
hardwired by a qualified electrician.
•Never operate this appliance if the cord is
damaged. Ensure the power cord is not
stretched or exposed to sharp objects or
edges.
•A damaged supply cord should be
replaced by the manufacturer or a
qualified electrician in order to avoid a
hazard.
•Avoid touching any moving parts within
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.
•Any service other than regular cleaning

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
5
or filter replacement should be performed
by an authorized service representative
or a qualified air conditioning engineer.
Failure to comply could result in a voided
warranty.
•This air conditioner is intended for
cooling / heating a room to a suitable
level for human comfort, and should not
be used for any other purpose such as
cooling food.
•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 as a switch to start
and turn off the air conditioning unit. Use
the provided ON/OFF button located on
the remote control.
•The indoor unit should not be installed in
laundry or wet rooms.
•Diagrams and pictures provided within
the manual are for guidance only. Due to
continual product development, if there is
any variance between the manual and
the product received, the information
provided on the product should be
followed.
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 four 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 mode when the ambient indoor
temperature is higher than 35℃.
•To protect the unit we recommend not using
the heating mode when the indoor ambient
temperature is lower than 7℃. Performance
will be reduced at lower temperatures.
•Note the manufacturer operating temperature
ranges at the end of this user manual.

OPERATION

COOLING MODE
The compressor (6) in the external unit compresses the refrigerant into a high-temperature, high-
pressure gas. When this gas flows along the cooling fins of the condenser (7), heat is exuded and
the gas condenses into a liquid, which is then led to the evaporator (1) in the indoor unit. The liquid
expands into a gas at a low temperature and low pressure. This gas absorbs the warmth of the air
in the room, and a fan (3) draws the air through the filter and over the evaporator (1), blowing the
cooled air back into the room. The heat is moved to the compressor along with the gas. A fan (8)
draws air over the condenser and blows the warm air away.

HEAT PUMP MODE
The system operates in reverse: the condenser works as an evaporator, the evaporator as a
condenser: warm air is blown into the room. It is ideal as a maintenance heating when outside
temperature is not too low and when the indoor temperature is more than 7°C.
DEHUMIDIFYING
As with cooling, the moisture in the air condenses on the cold evaporator at room
temperature acting as a powerful dehumidifier.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
HEATING MODE
When the air conditioner is placed in heating mode, the indoor unit will appear to be inactive
while it follows it’s preheat procedure to heat the evaporator coils. Once the coils have heated,
the indoor fan will start to run. This process usually takes 1 –3 minutes, and is designed to
ensure that cold air is not circulated.
AUTO RESTART
The air conditioner will automatically restart when electricity is restored after a power cut. If in
doubt, check the settings.
RANGE OF INTERNAL THERMOSTAT
The internal thermostat can be set at a desired temperature between 16 and 31°C. Note that
whether the desired value is achieved depends on the room size, temperature and insulation of
the room.
RANGE OF HEAT PUMP FUNCTION
The heat function can be used when the external ambient temperature is above -15°C. The
performance of the heat pump will degrade with lowering external temperatures. Please note the
performance will reduce when the outdoor temperature drops below 5°C.
CAPACITY
The required cooling or heating capacity depends greatly on the location and/or use of the room
where the air conditioner is installed. Strong sunlight and the presence of people, lights or
equipment creates an additional heat load. Normal living spaces require about 350 Btu per
square metre of floor surface. In strong sunlight or if other sources of heat are present, this may
be as much as 1200 Btu per sqm.
Tip: On warm days, let the air conditioner cool the room as much as possible during the night and
keep the temperature constant from night to daytime.
