• 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 other purposes 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

• R290 refrigerant gas complies with European
environmental directives.
• R290 has a low GWP (Global Warming
Potential) of 3.
• The air conditioner contains about 20 g of
R290 refrigerant gas.
• Do not use or store in an unventilated space
with an area smaller than 1m2 per 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.
• If the appliance is installed, used or stored in an unventilated room, 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 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 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 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 function when the
ambient temperature is higher than 35oC.

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 of the hose and
twisting the fishtail adaptor until it is firmly
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 it into
position and twisting to lock in place
3. Make sure the unit is
upright and there are no
obstructions to the air inlet
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 then fix
the window kit to the window.
2. Fix the fishtail on the hose
into the opening in the slide
bar.

Page 7 of 14
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 to ensure efficient operation.
• 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 dehumidifier mode. When using
dehumidifier mode ensure that an external water tank is used, monitored and regularly emptied
before overflowing. Permanent plumbing can be also installed for dehumidifier mode or an
external uplift water pump can be set up for unattended use.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
The length of the soft hose extends from 28 cm to
150 cm. If hose is extended above this length the
unit may malfunction and this can invalidate the
warranty. The outlet vent must be well ventilated
and not obstructed as this will cause the unit to
overheat. Avoid bending the air hose more than 30
degrees
OK ! NON !

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 water plug or place the unit in a drainage area.
Remove the rubber stopper - water will drain from the internal tank.
Put the rubber stopper back into place.
CONTINUOUS DRAINAGE:
Unscrew the drain plug cap and remove the rubber stopper.
Connect a water pipe to the water outlet. (Not Supplied)
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.
