from a wall. Ensure that the
air inlets (on the sides) and
the air outlets (on the top)
cannot be covered.
Expand a small section of the exhaust tube, and screw it
clockwise into the it the

adaptor and through the
nearest open window.

foam strip provided to block the rest of the window opening.
This is essential for efficient cooling.
The correct installation of the exhaust tube is shown below:
If the exhaust tube needs bending, do not bend too sharply,
or more than is required.
Do not vent the exhuast tube into a ceiling void. The exhaust
air may be very humid and can damage ceiling tiles.
Connect the air conditioner to the nearest 13A mains socket
using the built-in cable. Do not connect using an extension
lead, unless the extension lead is rated at least 6 Amps, and
is fully unwound.
Do not install the air conditioner in a damp environment (such
as a laundry room). The air conditioner is for indoor use only.
Do not install in direct sunlight (to avoid discolouration of the
Page 3

case).
Do not install close to a source of heat.
The EH1230 is not suitable if the ambient temperature is
below 18°C or above 35°C.
Installing the carbon filter:
1. Remove the filter frame from the unit.

Switch the unit on at the mains socket, then press ON/OFF
button (6). The unit will then start. The display (11) will show
the ambient temperature in degrees Celsius.
The unit will start in the Automatic mode with the trianglew
symbol (7) illuminated.Press TEMP+ (3) or TEMP- (4) to set
the desired room temperature.
If the desired room temperature is below ambient
temperature, the unit will automatically select cooling mode
and the "snowflake" indicator (8) will be illuminated, and the
"COMP" indicator (15) will also illuminate to indicate that the
compressor is running. The fan speed will also be selected

automatically. The fan speed indicators (13) or (14) will
indicate whether slow of fast fan speed is in operation.
If the desired room temperature is above the ambient
temperature then no cooling will take place. The fan will run
at its slow speed. "Fan only mode" indicator (9) and "slow fan
speed" indicator (13) will be illuminated. The "compressor"
indicator will not be illuminated. This model will not act as a
heater.

mode (press the MODE switch until the fan indicator (9) is
illuminated on its own.
It is then possible to select the fan speed using the SPEED
switch (5). Indicators (13) and (14) show whether slow or fast
fan speed is selected.
In this mode no cooling takes place, and the temperature
settings have no effect. The display (11) shows the ambient
temperature.
Manual Override (cooling):
Press the mode switch until the "snowflake" indicator (8) is
illuminated on its own. Use the UP (3) and DOWN (4) buttons
to select the desired temperature. If the desired temperature
is below the room temperature then the compressor will run
(indicator (15) will light) and cooling will take place.
It is then possible to select the fan speed using the SPEED
switch (5). Indicators (13) and (14) show whether slow or fast
fan speed is selected.

the unit. Unscrew the drain cover
and remove the rubber plug.
Collect the water in the tray and
pour away.
Dehumidifying:
The EH1230 can be used for dehumidification provided that
the ambient temperature is
above 19°C. Keep the windows
and doors closed to increase the
efficiency of the dehumidifying

the SPEED switch (5). Indicators (13) and (14) show whether
slow or fast fan speed is selected.
In dehumidification mode, cold air will be produced at the
front of the unit, and warm air at the back, but the overall
room temperature will be unaffected.
