Installation
Items Supplied in Exhaust Hose Fitting Kit.
Assembly of the Exhaust Hose
The exhaust hose is assembled by fitting the exhaust nozzle connector to one
end of the hose and the exhaust duct connector to the other end of the hose.
This is done by screwing the connectors in an anti-clockwise direction onto the
ends of the hose.
The end of the hose fitted with the exhaust duct connector fitted is then
connected to the exhaust outlet at the back of the machine. Care should be
taken to ensure that the two rectangular cut-outs in the connector are located
over the two moulded fingers positioned on the diameter of the machine outlet.
The connector can be removed from the machine by rotating it slightly and
pulling it away from the machine at the same time.
The exhaust nozzle should be fitted to the exhaust nozzle connector on the free
end of the hose.
The hose should then be extended and the exhaust nozzle placed in an open
window to vent any warm or moist air extracted from the room, to the outside.
The window should be closed as far as possible to trap the nozzle as shown
below.

Select a suitable location for the unit
•The unit should be positioned beside a window or door to allow the vent hose to
reach outside the room.
•The air intake should be a minimum distance of 10cm from any object.
•Do not install the unit underneath desks or inside cupboards as this will restrict the
operating air flow.
•Ensure that there are no obstructions to the air intake or air outlet.
•Ensure that the air intake is not being blocked by curtains, or similar objects.
•The end of the vent hose should not be blocked by a shutter or similar device.
•When fitting the vent hose it should be kept as straight as possible.

REMOTE CONTROLLER
BATTERY POSITIONS
Fit the batteries into the remote controller as shown above.
The remote controller can be used to switch the unit on and off up to a range of 10 metres
and is used to select the various modes and set the temperature or timer.
Note:- It is necessary for the remote controller to have a direct un-obstructed “line of sight”
with the front of the machine. If it is found that the remote controller does not always operate
the machine within the 10 metre range, this is an indication that the batteries may require
replacement. Replace with 2 new 1.5V, Size AAA batteries.
Dispose of the old batteries carefully - Do not expose to heat or fire.
Function of Buttons on Remote Controller
ON / OFF Button
This button is used to switch the machine on and off.
MODE
This button is used to select the modes as follows:-
Cooling Mode (LED illuminates Blue)
In this mode the air is cooled and hot air is exhausted through the vent hose to outside the
room. Fan speed and temperature can be adjusted to suit the comfort level required by
means of the appropriate buttons on the remote controller.
Dehumidifying Mode (LED illuminates Orange)
Air is dehumidified as it passes through the air conditioner and the damp warm air should be
exhausted by means of the vent hose. If the room temperature is greater than 25°C, the fan
speed can be adjusted, otherwise the fan speed is fixed at low speed.
Note:- The warm air from the exhaust hose must be vented into the room when using
Dehumidifying mode and not outside the room as in cooling mode. If the unit is vented
outside the room some cooling will occur.
