Remote usage:
•Aim the remote towards the receiver on the air-conditioner.
•The remote should be used within 8 metres of the air-conditioner.
•Do not drop or throw the remote.
•Do not put the remote where it will be subjected to strong sunlight or other heat
sources.
•Take the battery out of the remote if it will not be used for a long time.
•If the remote fails to have an effect on the air-conditioner, the batteries need
replacing.
•Please dispose of used batteries responsibly.
Remote Control batteries:
Insert the batteries correctly before using the remote control.
•Slide the battery cover on the back of the remote control.
•Insert x2 new AAA (DC 1.5 V) batteries, ensuring the polarity (+/-) is correct. Check
the markings on both the batteries and the remote before installing.
•Slide the battery cover back into place.
Note:Only AAA (DC 1.5 V) type batteries may be used. Do not use rechargeable batteries or
other types of batteries.
Always replace both batteries simultaneously. Do not mix old and new batteries.
If the remote control is not used for a long time, the batteries must be removed.
WARNING: Risk of injury! Do not use batteries that leak. Chemicals in
batteries can cause burns or other health hazards. If battery fluid splashes
on skin or clothing, wash it off immediately with clean water. If batteries are
accidentally swallowed, immediately rinse your mouth with clean water and
then contact a hospital for a medical examination.

Installation position
•Place the air-conditioner on a flat floor near a window
•To maintain good air circulation and obtain the optimum air-conditioning
performance, ensure there is 50cm of space around the unit.
Notes on installation
•It is important to keep the exhaust
hose straight. Incorrect installation will
affect the operation of the appliance.
•Make sure that the exhaust hose is not
kinked, twisted or strongly bent.
•Make sure that the exhaust air can
flow unhindered into the exhaust hose.
•The exhaust air hose has a maximum
length of 1.50 m. Keep the distance
between the window and the
appliance as short as possible and
install the exhaust air hose as horizontally as possible.
INSTALLATION
Note:
The exhaust air hose is specially designed for this appliance. Do not replace or modify
the hose.

Duct mount instruction
•Attach the square end of the exhaust duct to the
exhaust port
in the rear of the air-conditioner, as shown to right.
•Put the other end of the exhaust duct into the
window slider
kit, then place the slider kit into the nearest
window.
Window kit installation
The window kit has been designed to fit most standard vertical and horizontal window
applications. However, it may be necessary for you to improve or modify some aspects of the
installation procedure for certain types of window.
Please refer to images below for usage examples.
Note:
If using with a hinged window with an angled opening, a hinged window attachment
will be required. This is not included.
Notes:
•The exhaust tube can be compressed to a minimum length of 600mm and
extended to a maximum of 1800mm. It is best to keep the tube length to the
minimum length possible.
•Stretching or bending the exhaust tube excessively will affect the cooling efficiency.
•Do not use an extension to the exhaust duct as this may lead to product
malfunction.

Mounting
Above is an example of a permanent wall mount.
Correct Tube Set-up
Incorrect Tube Set-up

Water Injection
•By adding water to the air-conditioner during COOLING operations, you can
reduce noise and save money by running more efficiently. The water is recycled
through the condenser to maximise efficiency.
•If there is not enough water left to be pumped through the system, the Water
Injection indicator will light up on the control panel. You can then inject more water
into the water drawer which is to
the right of the handle.
Drainage
•When the water tank is full, the water full indicator will light up and the compressor
will stop working. The buzzer will sound 10 times every 5 minutes until the water is
below the high level mark, or has been emptied by hand. When the alarm stops
and after three-minutes of restart delay, the unit will begin working normally again.
•You can drain the water out via the drainage port in the rear of the unit. Before
doing so, you should put a pan or other kind of vessel under the hose to catch the
water, or move the air-conditioner to a location where water can be drained without
causing any damage (such as the shower, or outside to the garden or driveway),
then remove the plug from the drain mouth.
Note:
Move the unit carefully when the water is high, as water can spill from the unit.

Timer

•Press the TIMER button when the unit is on. The LED will flash -- five times. During

conditioner will turn off automatically.
Set Timer-on
•Press the TIMER button when the unit is off. From this point, follow the instructions
as per setting the Timer-off above. Once the set time has passed, the air
conditioner will turn on automatically.
Change the Set Time
•When the timer is on, you can check the remaining time by pressing the TIMER
button. The time remaining will flash 5 times. While it is flashing, you can press UP
or DOWN to adjust the set time. The set time can also be cancelled by pressing the
TIMER button again while the remaining time is still flashing.
