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.
INSTALLATION
Transport and store in an upright position. Leave the
appliance in an upright position for at least 3 hours before
first use.
Select a location for the internal unit - it should be close to a
door or opening window to allow the exterior unit to be placed
outside, but not too close to a wall to avoid obstructing the air
flow. Allow 200mm (8") around the appliance on all sides, to
achieve optimum efficiency and lowest operating noise.
Pass the external unit through the open door or window, and
then close the door or window to the minimum gap that will
allow the flexible hose through.
If the appliance is to be used frequently in the same location,
then the bracket can be attached to the exterior wall, and the
external appliance can be hung on the bracket.
The internal and external units must remain connected by the
flexible hose at all times. The flexible hose may only be
disconnected by persons with the necessary qualifications
under the "F Gas Regulations".

window in the front panel labelled "REMOTE".
MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning, turn the appliance off using the button on
the control panel (NEVER switch off the power at the mains
socket whilst the appliance is running). Wait until the
appliance stop and then disconnect from the mains supply.
The case 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.
Using a dry 1" (25mm) paint-brush, remove any dust from the
grilles.
Every two weeks, clean the air filter − the filter is located at
the back of the appliance towards the top. Remove the filter,
and wash with hand-hot water with a drop of detergent. Dry
thoroughly before replacing.
Using the EH1412 with a blocked filter will severely reduce its
Page 5

efficiency, and using without the filter may lead to a build-up
of a dust on the heat exchangers, which may constitute a fire
hazard.
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. OPERATING COSTS
