Mounting of the exhaust pipe
• Use only the hose provided and clip
exhaust hose to the back of the air
conditioner
• Avoid kinks and bends in the exhaust
hose as this will cause expelled
moist air to build up causing the unit
to overheat and shut down. Fig 9 &
10 show correct position
• The hose may be extended from
300mm to 1500mm but for maximum
efficiency use the shortest length
possible.
WARNING!
The length of the exhaust pipe is specially
designed according to the specification of this
product. Do not replace or prolong it with your
own private hose as this could cause the unit
to mal-function.

Installation of the carbon filter
This machine is equipped with the active carbon filter. The activated carbon is charcoal
that has been treated with oxygen to open up millions of tiny pores between the carbon
atoms. It is used to get rid of unwanted odors (smoke, fumes, and animal odor).
Please note, the carbon filter is not washable, its life span is variable and depends on
the ambient conditions where the unit is used. The filter should be checked periodically
and replaced if necessary (normally, it’s 6 months), below is the installation of the
active carbon filter along with this unit:
FIG.9
1. Remove the filter frame from the unit.
FIG.10
2. Remove the filter fixer from the filter frame.
FIG.11
3. Remove the active carbon filter from its plastic
bag.
FIG.12
4. Attach the active carbon filter to the filter
frame.
FIG.13
5. Attach the filter fixer to the filter frame (the
active carbon filter should be hold between
the filter frame and filter fixer firmly).
FIG.14
6. Insert the filter set (filter frame + active carbon
