Never operate this appliance if the cord or plug is damaged. Ensure the power cord is not stretched or
exposed to sharp objects/edges.
The power cord must not be immersed in water, as this could result in electric shock.
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 authorized
service representative. Failure to comply could result in a voided warranty.
When defrosting and cleaning the appliance, only use tools recommended by the manufacturer.
Do not use the appliance for any other purpose 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.

Page 4of 18
Never use the mains plug or an external timer as a switch to start and stop 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.
This appliance contains about 210 g of R290 refrigerant gas.
Do not use or store in unventilated spaces with an area smaller than 10.1 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 hazard should the refrigerant come into contact with electric heaters, stoves or other sources
of ignition.
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.
Refrigerant gas may be odourless.
Do not open the air conditioner, to attempt service or repair the unit. Any internal servicing of the unit
must be carried out only by the manufacturer or its authorized technicians.
Any repairs or maintenance must only be carried out on the unit by a suitably qualified engineer. Before
opening and servicing the unit the authorized 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 air conditioner should be situated at least 50cm from the walls or other
objects.
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 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 the unit should only be used when the room temperature is between
7°C and 35°C. If the temperature is below this use electrical heating to raise the temperature above 10⁰C
before starting the unit.

INSTALLATION OF WINDOW KIT
4. Partially open the window and then fix the window kit to the window
5. Make sure the unit is upright and there are no obstructions to the air
inlets and outlet grill. The unit should be positioned at least 50cm
away from walls or other objects within the room.
6. Fix the other end of the hose to the air-outlet window kit
Note: 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. However the fish tail adaptor can be used with most
windows / doors. When using the cooling mode ensure that the opening left is as small as possible.
The best form of installation is through a wall duct.
Please note that the unit will need to be vented out in heating mode, ideally through the wall. By properly
venting you expel cold air from your room while efficiently heating it.

WATER-DRAINAGE
MANUAL DRAINAGE:
1. When the internal water tank is full the unit will stop working and display the message “E2” on
the display.
2. Shut off the unit and unplug. Try not to move the model abruptly as this may cause water to spill
out from internal water tank.
3. Place a tray under the water plug.
4. Screw off the water plug and unplug the water blocker - water will drain from the container.
5. Put the water blocker back and screw the water plug back into place
CONTINUOUS DRAINAGE:
1. Screw off the water plug and unplug the water blocker.
2. Use a water pipe to connect to the water outlet.
3. You can plumb this pipe into your current plumbing system,
lead it outside 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.
In heating or dehumidifier mode you may need to use the permanent drainage.
