Getting to Know Your
Air Conditioner
Congratulations on the purchase of your new
Portable Air Conditioner.
Before the rst use of your new appliance, it is
most important that you read and follow the
instructions in this Use & Care booklet, even if
you feel you are quite familiar with this type
of appliance. Find a place and keep this
booklet handy for future reference. Attention is
particularly drawn to the section dealing with
“IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS”.
This appliance has been designed to operate
from a standard outlet. It is not intended for
industrial or commercial use.
Carefully unpack the appliance and remove all
packing materials.
WARNING: The air conditioner is heavy! Use two
or more people to lift and install the unit. Failure
to do so could result in injuries.
Hints for Economical Operation
• Do not block the inlet or outlet of air ow
inside with blinds, curtains or furniture.
• The size of the room must t the capacity
of the Air Conditioner for efcient and
satisfactory operation.
• Position and vent the Air Conditioner near
windows and walls that receive the most
shade during the heat of the day.
• Close the replace damper, oor and wall
registers so cool air does not escape up the
chimney and into the duct work.
• Keep blinds and drapes in other windows
closed during the sunniest part of the day.
• Proper insulation in your home will help keep
warm air out and cool air in.
• External house shading with trees, plants or
awnings will help reduce the air conditioner’s
work load.
• Clean air lter. A clogged air lter reduces
cooling efciency and should be cleaned
once every two weeks, depending on usage.
• Avoid opening doors and windows more
often than necessary.
• When cooling, close the curtains. This will
prevent counteracting cooling effect in
summer.

5
• Use the timer effectively. Set the timer for the
desired operating time.
• Try to create a uniform circulation of room air.
Adjust air ow direction for even circulation of
room air.
• To ensure optimal efciency of the product,
keep doors and windows closed when it is
used as an air conditioner or dehumidier.
If the product is being used with the fan
function only, an open window could
improve air circulation.
NOTE: For optimum performance,
operate the unit under the usable
operating temperature and humidity
conditions indicated in this owner’s
manual. If the unit operates beyond
these conditions, it may cause
malfunctions of the unit or condensation
to drip from the unit.

during which ammable refrigerant can possibly
be released to the surrounding space. Prior
to work taking place, the area around the
equipment is to be surveyed to make sure that
there are no ammable hazards or ignition risks.
“No Smoking” signs shall be displayed.
7. Ventilated area
Ensure that the area is in the open or that it is
adequately ventilated before breaking into the
system or conducting any hot work. A degree
of ventilation shall continue during the period
that the work is carried out. The ventilation
should safely disperse any released refrigerant
and preferably expel it externally into the
atmosphere.
8. Checks to the refrigerating equipment
Where electrical components are being
changed, they shall be t for the purpose and
to the correct specication. At all times the
manufacturer’s maintenance and service
guidelines shall be followed. If in doubt consult
the manufacturer’s technical department for
assistance.
The following checks shall be applied to
installations using ammable refrigerants:
– The actual refrigerant charge is in
accordance with the room size within which
the refrigerant containing parts are installed;
– The ventilation machinery and outlets
are operating adequately and are not
obstructed;
– If an indirect refrigerating circuit is being used,
the secondary circuit shall be checked for
the presence of refrigerant;
– Marking to the equipment continues to be
visible and legible. Markings and signs that
are illegible shall be corrected;
– Refrigerating pipe or components are
installed in a position where they are unlikely
to be exposed to any substance which may
corrode refrigerant containing components,
unless the components are constructed of
materials which are inherently resistant to
being corroded or are suitably protected
against being so corroded.
9. Checks to electrical devices
Repair and maintenance to electrical
components shall include initial safety checks
and component inspection procedures. If a
fault exists that could compromise safety, then
no electrical supply shall be connected to the
circuit until it is satisfactorily dealt with. If the
fault cannot be corrected immediately but it is
necessary to continue operation, an adequate
temporary solution shall be used. This shall be
reported to the owner of the equipment so all
parties are advised.

15
Initial safety checks shall include:
• That capacitors are discharged: this shall be
done in a safe manner to avoid possibility of
sparking;
• That there no live electrical components
and wiring are exposed while charging,
recovering or purging the system;
• That there is continuity of earth bonding.
2. Repairs to sealed components
1. During repairs to sealed components, all
electrical supplies shall be disconnected
from the equipment being worked upon prior
to any removal of sealed covers, etc. If it is
absolutely necessary to have an electrical
supply to equipment during servicing, then
a permanently operating form of leak
detection shall be located at the most critical
point to warn of a potentially hazardous
situation.
2. Particular attention shall be paid to the
following to ensure that by working on
electrical components, the casing is not
altered in such a way that the level of
protection is affected. This shall include
damage to cables, excessive number of
connections, terminals not made to original
specication, damage to seals, incorrect
tting of glands, etc.
Ensure that apparatus is mounted securely.
Ensure that seals or sealing materials have
not degraded such that they no longer serve
the purpose of preventing the ingress of
ammable atmospheres. Replacement parts
shall be in accordance with the manufacturer’s
specications.
3. Repair to intrinsically safe
components
Do not apply any permanent inductive or
capacitance loads to the circuit without ensuring
that this will not exceed the permissible voltage
and current permitted for the equipment in use.
Intrinsically safe components are the only types
that can be worked on while live in the presence
of a ammable atmosphere. The test apparatus
shall be at the correct rating.
Replace components only with parts specied
by the manufacturer. Other parts may result in
the ignition of refrigerant in the atmosphere from
a leak.
4. Cabling
Check that cabling will not be subject to wear,
corrosion, excessive pressure, vibration, sharp
edges or any other adverse environmental
effects. The check shall also take into account
the effects of aging or continual vibration from
sources such as compressors or fans.
5. Detection of ammable refrigerants
Under no circumstances shall potential sources of
ignition be used in the searching for or detection
of refrigerant leaks. A halide torch (or any other
detector using a naked ame) shall not be used.
The following leak detection methods are
deemed acceptable for systems containing
ammable refrigerants.
Electronic leak detectors shall be used to detect
ammable refrigerants, but the sensitivity may
not be adequate, or may need re-calibration.
(Detection equipment shall be calibrated in a
refrigerant-free area.) Ensure that the detector
is not a potential source of ignition and is
suitable for the refrigerant used. Leak detection
equipment shall be set at a percentage of the
LFL of the refrigerant and shall be calibrated to
the refrigerant employed and the appropriate
percentage of gas (25 % maximum) is conrmed.
Leak detection uids are suitable for use with
most refrigerants but the use of detergents
containing chlorine shall be avoided as the
chlorine may react with the refrigerant and
corrode the copper pipe-work.
If a leak is suspected, all naked ames shall be
removed/ extinguished.
If a leakage of refrigerant is found which requires
brazing, all of the refrigerant shall be recovered
from the system, or isolated (by means of shut off
valves) in a part of the system remote from the
leak.

16
6. Removal and evacuation
When breaking into the refrigerant circuit
to make repairs – or for any other purpose
– conventional procedures shall be used.
However, it is important that best practice is
followed since ammability is a consideration.
The following procedure shall be adhered to:
• Remove refrigerant;
• Purge the circuit with inert gas (optional for
A2L);
• Evacuate (optional for A2L);
• Purge with inert gas (optional for A2L);
• Open the circuit by cutting or brazing.
The refrigerant charge shall be recovered into
the correct recovery cylinders. For appliances
containing ammable refrigerants other than
A2L refrigerants, the system shall be purged with
oxygen-free nitrogen to render the appliance
safe for ammable refrigerants. This process may
need to be repeated several times. Compressed
air or oxygen shall not be used for purging
refrigerant systems.
For appliances containing ammable
refrigerants, other than A2L refrigerants,
refrigerants purging shall be achieved by
breaking the vacuum in the system with
oxygen-free nitrogen and continuing to ll until
the working pressure is achieved, then venting
to atmosphere, and nally pulling down to a
vacuum. This process shall be repeated until no
refrigerant is within the system. When the nal
oxygen-free nitrogen charge is used, the system
shall be vented down to atmospheric pressure
to enable work to take place. This operation is
absolutely vital if brazing operations on the pipe-
work are to take place.
Ensure that the outlet for the vacuum pump is
not close to any potential ignition sources and
there is ventilation available.
7. Charging procedures
In addition to conventional charging procedures,
the following requirements shall be followed.
– Ensure that contamination of different
refrigerants does not occur when using
charging equipment. Hoses or lines shall be
as short as possible to minimize the amount of
refrigerant contained in them.
– Cylinders shall be kept in an appropriate
position according to the instructions.
– Ensure that the refrigerating system is earthed
prior to charging the system with refrigerant.
– Label the system when charging is complete
(if not already).
– Extreme care shall be taken not to overll the
refrigerating system.
Prior to recharging the system it shall be pressure
tested with OFN. The system shall be leak
tested on completion of charging but prior to
commissioning. A follow up leak test shall be
carried out prior to leaving the site.
8. Decommissioning
Before carrying out this procedure, it is essential
that the technician is completely familiar with the
equipment and all its detail. It is recommended
good practice that all refrigerants are recovered
safely. Prior to the task being carried out, an oil
and refrigerant sample shall be taken in case
analysis is required prior to re-use of recovered
refrigerant. It is essential that electrical power is
available before the task is commenced.
a) Become familiar with the equipment and its
operation.
b) Isolate system electrically.
c) Before attempting the procedure ensure that:
• Mechanical handling equipment is available,
if required, for handling refrigerant cylinders;
• All personal protective equipment is available
and being used correctly;
• The recovery process is supervised at all times
by a competent person;
• Recovery equipment and cylinders conform
to the appropriate standards.
d) Pump down refrigerant system, if possible.
e) If a vacuum is not possible, make a manifold
so that refrigerant can be removed from
various parts of the system.

17
f) Make sure that cylinder is situated on the
scales before recovery takes place.
g) Start the recovery machine and operate in
accordance with instructions.
h) Do not overll cylinders. (No more than 80 %
volume liquid charge).
i) Do not exceed the maximum working
pressure of the cylinder, even temporarily.
j) When the cylinders have been lled correctly
and the process completed, make sure
that the cylinders and the equipment are
removed from site promptly and all isolation
valves on the equipment are closed off.
k) Recovered refrigerant shall not be charged
into another refrigerating system unless it has
been cleaned and checked.
9. Labeling
Equipment shall be labeled stating that it
has been de-commissioned and emptied of
refrigerant. The label shall be dated and signed.
Ensure that there are labels on the equipment
stating the equipment contains ammable
refrigerant.
10. Recovery
When removing refrigerant from a system,
either for servicing or decommissioning, it
is recommended good practice that all
refrigerants are removed safely.
When transferring refrigerant into cylinders,
ensure that only appropriate refrigerant recovery
cylinders are employed. Ensure that the correct
number of cylinders for holding the total system
charge is available. All cylinders to be used are
designated for the recovered refrigerant and
labeled for that refrigerant (i.e. special cylinders
for the recovery of refrigerant). Cylinders shall
be complete with pressure relief valve and
associated shut-off valves in good working order.
Empty recovery cylinders are evacuated and, if
possible, cooled before recovery occurs.
The recovery equipment shall be in good working
order with a set of instructions concerning the
equipment that is at hand and shall be suitable
for the recovery of ammable refrigerants. In
addition, a set of calibrated weighing scales shall
be available and in good working order. Hoses
shall be complete with leak-free disconnect
couplings and in good condition. Before
using the recovery machine, check that it is in
satisfactory working order, has been properly
maintained and that any associated electrical
components are sealed to prevent ignition
in the event of a refrigerant release. Consult
manufacturer if in doubt.
The recovered refrigerant shall be returned to
the refrigerant supplier in the correct recovery
cylinder, and the relevant Waste Transfer Note
arranged. Do not mix refrigerants in recovery
units and especially not in cylinders.
If compressors or compressor oils are to
be removed, ensure that they have been
evacuated to an acceptable level to make
certain that ammable refrigerant does not
remain within the lubricant. The evacuation
process shall be carried out prior to returning the
compressor to the suppliers. Only electric heating
to the compressor body shall be employed to
accelerate this process. When oil is drained from
a system, it shall be carried out safely.
