INSTALLATION
Install the EH1230 on floor
approximately 36cm (14") 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 end of the
exhaust port of the unit.
Place the other end of the
exhaust tube into the
adaptor and through the
nearest open window.
Keep the length of the
exhaust tube to a
minimum. Block the rest
of the window opening.
This is essential for
efficient cooling.
The correct installation of the exhaust tube is shown below:
Page 3

User Guide EH1230
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 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.

OPERATION
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.
