INSTALLATION
The unit is a portable air conditioner that may be moved from room to room.
1. Using the extendable slide
FIG.8
• Offer window spacer to the window gap and adjust the length as you need.
• Feed exhaust hose through the window spacer and slide window across so that spacer is held
securely. This technique may also be used for sash windows. Note: Take care to maintain
protection against intruders

• Use only the hose provided and clip
exhaust hose and unit adaptor 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.
• 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.

Automatic mode
In automatic mode, the unit can cool or ventilate depending on ambient temperature and setpoint
adjustment. The unit is preset as follows:
Default in automatic mode: If ambient temperature is above 25°C the unit is in automatic cooling mode
and is running according to the setpoint. Default setting 24°C. During this operation, the following LED’s
light up in green:
If the ambient temperature is less or equal than (≤) 25°C the unit is in automatic ventilation mode.
Following LED’s light up in green:
Setpoint setting in automatic cooling mode 18-32°C
If you set the setpoint at 24°C the unit starts to cool at 27°C (Setpoint + 3°C). It cools down to 25°C
(Setpoint +1°C) and then switches back to the ventilation.
