IMPORTANT
Installer and Users please note:
These instructions should be read carefully and left with the
user of the product for future reference.
BEFORE USE
Inspect the product including its cable and plug for any signs
of damage. If the product is damaged, DO NOT use it, and
contact your supplier immediately. The appliance contains a
refrigerant gas, so must be kept upright at all times. After
unpacking wait 3 hours for the refrigerant gas to stabilise
before use.
INSTALLATION
Stand the CLIMATEASY 12 on a firm, flat, level surface.
Connect the exhaust hose as follows: expand a small section
of the end, and screw into the indoor adaptor; then slide the
indoor adaptor into the slot at the back of the unit. Expand a
small section of the other end of the hose, and screw into the
fish-tail-shaped adaptor.

Page 3
Slide the two-part window adaptor to the correct length to fit
the window. Close the window as far as possible to keep the
window adaptor in place. Clip the fish-tail shaped adaptor into
the aperture in the window adaptor.
Keep the hose as straight as possible, avoid dips where the
moisture from the exhaust air can condense and fill the tube
with water. Do not allow the hose to be crushed.
Correct Mounting Correct bend of Exhaust
Incorrect Bending of the Exhaust can cause malfunction

Page 4
The hose can be expanded up to 1.8 m long, but the shorter it
is the more efficiently the CLIMATEASY 12 will operate. Do
not extend the hose, or replace with another type of hose.
Remote Control
Fit one lithium 3V battery to the remote control, observing the
correct polarity.
Use only lithium 3V batteries.
Remove the battery if the remote control is not used for a
month or longer.
Do not attempt to recharge the supplied batteries.
Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire as they may explode.

OPERATION
Leave the appliance in an upright position for 3 hours before
first use.
Plug the mains lead into a 13 Amp mains socket (unless
permanently installed)
If connecting via an extension lead, make sure that the lead is
rated at 13 Amps or more, and that it is fully unwound. Switch
the unit on at the mains socket.
ON/OFF Button: Press the "ON/OFF" button to start the unit.
The Power indicator illuminates when the appliance is ON.
There will be a short delay (of about a minute) before the
appliance starts to operate.
"MODE" Button: Select the mode by pressing the "MODE"
button. The available modes are:
Automatic mode: either heats or cools as required to
maintain the selected room temperature. Then use the TEMP+
and TEMP- buttons to select the desired room temperature.
When the temperature reaches the desired temperature, the
compressor will stop, and the fan will continue to run.
Cooling mode: cools if the room temperature is above the
selected temperature.Then use the TEMP+ and TEMP-
buttons to select the desired room temperature. When the
temperature reaches the desired temperature, the compressor
will stop, and the fan will continue to run.
Dehumidifying mode: removes humidity, but does not effect
room temperature. The fan operates at its lowest speed. For
best results, do not use the exhaust tube, but fit a permanent
drainage pipe to the drain outlet as shown on page 9.
Fan mode: circulates the air, but does not affect room
temperature or humidity.

Page 8
Heating mode: heats if the room is temperature is
below the selected temperature. Then use the TEMP+
and TEMP- buttons to select the desired room temperature.
When the temperature reaches the desired temperature, the
compressor will stop, and the fan will continue to run. Heating
performance reduces if the outdoor temperature falls below
7
°C
"SPEED" Button: Set the fan speed using the fan speed
control.
In all modes except dehumidifying mode. The fan speed can
be low, medium or high. The fan speed is indicated by the
speed of the segments on the windmill symbol on the LED
display.
TEMP+ and TEMP- buttons:
Use the + and - buttons to select the desired room
temperature. The temperature can be set to any temperature
from 16 °C to 31 °C. Selecting a lower temperature whilst
heating, or a higher temperature whilst cooling will reduce
power consumption.
SWING button: Press the "SWING" button to turn the
oscillation of the louvres on or off.
If the "WATER FULL" indicator lights, the condensate water
tank is full. This should only happen very rarely, as most of
the water collected is evaporated and sent down the exhaust
air tube.
To empty the water, switch the unit off by pressing the
ON/OFF button, wait for three minutes, and then disconnect
from the mains supply. Place a drainage pan underneath the
drain outlet plug (an the bottom of the unit, at the back in the
centre). Withdraw the bung, and allow the water to drain into
the drainage pan. Replace the bung, and reconnect the unit to
the mains supply.

Page 9
The water should be disposed of down a drain.
To avoid the need to empty the water, a permanent drain tube
may be fitted as shown: use a piece of 18mm diameter tube
(not supplied) and run the pipe to a drain, making sure that it
runs downhill all the way.
Unplug the CLIMATEASY 12 from the mains when not in use.
USING THE TIMER
The timer can set the unit to run for a selected time (between 1
and 24 hours) and then turn OFF.
Or, it can set the unit to wait for a selected time (between and
24 hours) before turning ON.
To select timed turn-off press the timer button whilst the unit is
switched ON. Then adjust the time using the + and - buttons
for the number of hours' delay before switching off.
To select timed turn-on press the timer button whilst the unit is
switched OFF (connected to the mains supply but switch OFF
using the ON/OFF button). Then adjust the time using
the + and - buttons for the number of hours' delay before
switching on.
To cancel the timer, press the TIMER button again.

MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning, turn the appliance off, and disconnect from
the mains supply. The appliance may then be cleaned using a
damp cloth with a drop of washing-up liquid to remove any
dust or dirt from the case. Do no use stronger detergents or
solvents as these may damage the plastic.
Cleaning the filter:
The filter is located on the back panel of the appliance. Unclip
to remove, then remove dust and dirt using a vacuum cleaner.
The filter should be cleaned every two weeks to maintain
optimum performance.
Using a dry 1" (25mm) paint-brush, remove any dust from the
grilles.
If the mains lead is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or an authorised service centre. If the mains plug
needs to be replaced, proceed as follows:
Connect the brown wire to the terminal labelled "L".
Connect the blue wire to the terminal labelled "N".
Connect the green/yellow wire to the terminal labelled with
the earth symbol or "E".
Make sure that the cord-grip is positioned correctly (over
the outer sheath of the cable) and it fully tightened.

FAULT-FINDING
If the CLIMATEASY 12 is not operating, proceed as follows:
Check that the mains plug is firmly in the socket, and that the
socket is switched ON.
When the unit if switched on there will be a delay of about 1
minute before it starts to operate.
Unit stops running:
Mains supply is disconnected or has failed
Target temperature has been reached.
Timer has been set.
Water tank is full (WATERFULL indicator will illuminate)
In cooling mode, no cool air is produced:
Room temperature is lower than set temperature
The unit is defrosting (this will take a few minutes, and
afterwards, it will resume operation)
Filter is blocked
Cooling is poor on hot days
Too much direct sunshine is heating the room
Windows or doors are open allowing hot air into the room
A lot of people in the room (each person contributes about
75W of heating)
Electrical equipment in the room producing heat
Heating is poor on cold days
The heat pump can only heat effectively when the outdoor
temperature is above 7 °C. The unit is not intended as a
primary means of heating premises.
Remote control does not work:
Check batteries are correctly installed, and are not exhausted.
Make sure that the remote control is pointed towards the main
unit when being used.
