Installing the Exhaust Pipe into a
sliding window:
WARNING! Before performing any instalation,
assembly or maintenance, switch off and
remove from power supply.
Before using the air conditioning unit, install
the exhaust pipe, so that fumes from the
appliance are released onto an outside, open-
air area. The sections below illustrate the
correct way to attach and install the exhaust
pipe.
1. Open the window and insert the window
slides into the open gap.
2. Close the window until the window kit
is held securely. You may need to adjust
the size of the window kit or secure it
with screws. This technique may also be
used for sash windows.
3. Place the unit in a flat, stable surface,
taking care to observe a distance of at
least 50cm between the unit and the
window.
4. Insert the narrow end of the exhaust
hose into the window kit so that any
hot air from the appliance flows into an
outdoor area. Ensure the hose is firmly
secured into place before attempting to
use the appliance.
Attaching the Exhaust Pipe:
To attach the exhaust pipe, slot it into the
corresponding air outlet vent at the back
of the unit and twist it counter-clockwise
to lock it into place. Take care to avoid any
bends or kinks as this could cause the pipe
to clog, resulting in overheating and potential
malfunction.
To remove the exhaust pipe, twist it clockwise
to unlock it, then pull it firmly away from the
body of the unit until it detaches.

hoses to it to extend the length could result in
the unit malfunctioning.

The unit’s functionality modes are as follows:
1. Cooling Mode- In cooling mode, the unit
will blow out cold air to decrease the
ambient temperature. To select cooling
mode, press the ‘Mode’ button repeatedly
until the corresponding indicator lights
up.
NOTE: Cooling mode is the unit’s default
mode of operation. The unit will automatically
start operating in this mode whenever it is
turned on. In this mode, both temperature
levels and speed settings can be selected and
changed manually, as described in the relevant
sections below.
2. Dehumidifying Mode- In dehumidifying
mode, the unit automatically assesses
room temperature and adjusts its settings
accordingly.
• If room temperature is above 17
degrees when dehumidifying mode
is selected, the compressor will be
turned on.

degrees while the unit is operating in
this mode, the compressor will turn
itself off.
• When room temperature reaches 15
degrees again, the compressor will
come back on after 3 minutes.
• This cycle will repeat as necessary for
as long as the unit is in humidifying
mode.
NOTE: When in dehumidifying mode, the unit
will automatically operate at low speed and
adjust the cooling levels according to room
temperature. When this mode is selected,
neither temperature nor wind speed can be
manually set or adjusted.
3. Fan Mode- In fan mode, the unit will
blow out natural air to cool the ambient
temperature.

Draining the Unit:
During the process of cooling, water will be
extracted from the air into the unit.
When the reservoir is full, the compressor will
stop and the text ‘FL’ will show on the unit’s
LED display. When this occurs, we recommend
you drain or empty the water tank, to ensure
the unit continues to operate correctly.
To empty the water tank, follow the steps
opposite:
1. Turn off the unit and avoid moving it.
2. Place a container, such as a water tray,
underneath the drain hole.
3. Remove the drain plug and plug cap, to
allow the water to drain out.
4. When the container is almost full, place
the drain plug back into the plug hole and
empty the water container..
5. Repeat this procedure until the unit is
empty.
6. Once you have emptied the unit, put the
drain plug and plug cap back into place
and tighten the cap firmly.
7. When you have completed the drainage
process, turn the unit back on and ensure
the text ‘FL’ is not showing on the unit’s
LED display. This signals the process has
been carried out correctly and the unit
has been drained.
NOTE: Always wait at least 3 minutes after
switching off the unit before turning it back
on. This will help prolong the life of the
compressor.
