•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.

•R290 refrigerant gas complies with European environmental directives.
•R290 has a low GWP (Global Warming Potential) of 3.
•This air conditioner contains around 280 g of R290 refrigerant gas.
•Do not use or store in an unventilated space with an area smaller than 18.2 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 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

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 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
temperature is higher than 38oC.

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 opposite end of the pipe to the exhaust outlet on the rear of
the appliance by putting into position and twisting until firmly attached
(At least 3 full rotations)
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.

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 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.

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.
•When using the unit in heating mode, it is advisable to use continuous drainage.
