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. The
appliance contains a refrigerant gas, so must be kept upright at all times. After
unpacking wait 3 hours for the refrigerant gas to stabilise before use. The
following is a list of parts that should be included in the packaging.
INSTALLATION
Stand the EH01614 on a firm, flat; level surface at least 30cm (12”) from the
nearest wall. Before use you will need to install the drainage pipe at the rear of
the unit.
Installing Drainage Pipe
First remove the rubber plug from the drain port on the rear of the air

Attach the drain pipe clip to rear panel of the air conditioner using the screw
provided.
Firmly attach the drainage pipe to the drain port and secure using the pipe hoop
spring clip provided. The other end of the drainage pipe should be sealed using
the rubber plug which again should be secured using the spring clip. Attach the
drainage pipe to the unit by clipping into the drain pipe clip.
In normal operation the EH1614 tank should only gather a small amount of water
as any condensate water is usually vented off with the hot exhaust air
If you wish the condensate tank, can be permanently connected to the drain. To
do this a long drain tube may be attached to the drain port and ran to a suitable
drain.
EMPTY CONDENSATE TANK
To empty the water tank, switch the unit off by pressing the ON/OFF button, wait
for three minutes then disconnect from the mains supply. Place a drainage pan
underneath the drain pipe (at the bottom, rear of the unit in the centre).Release
the spring clip and withdraw the bung, allow the water to drain into the drainage
pan. Replace the bung and spring clip then reconnect the unit to the mains
supply

Installing Exhaust Hose
In normal use the EH1614 will produce hot air from the rear exhaust port, this air
can be vented through an open window or wall vent. Connect the exhaust hose
as follows: expand a small section of the end, and screw into the indoor adaptor
(Joint A) in a clockwise
direction, the side marked
TOP should be facing
upwards Expand a small
section of the other end of the
hose, and screw into joint B
again in a clockwise
direction..
Attach the indoor adaptop (Joint A) to the
rear exhaust vent by sliding the adaptor
into the grooves till you hear a click.
If the exhaust is to be vented through an
open window then the fish tail adaptor
(Joint C) should be attached to Joint B by
locating the slot in Joint C with the post on
Joint B and rotating slightly in a clockwise
direction.

Keep the hose as straight as possible, avoid dips where the moisture from the
exhaust air can condense and fill the tube with water. Do not allow the hose to be
crushed
The hose can be expanded up to 1.5m long, but the shorter it is the more
efficiently the E1614 will operate. Do not extend the hose, or replace with
another type of hose.
If the exhaust hose is to be installed into a wall vent then the vent position should
be between 40cm (16”) and 130cm (51”) from the floor.

Remote Control
Fit 2 x AAA batteries in to the remote control, observing the correct polarity.
Do not attempt to recharge the batteries. Do not dispose any of the batteries in a
fire, as they may explode.
Do not use any other type of battery.

MAINTENANCE
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
At time of going to press, the average cost of electricity is £0.12 per unit
(kilowatt-hour). The amount you are being charged will be shown on your
electricity bill.
At this cost, the EH1460 will cost £0.19 per hour to run in heating, cooling or
dehumidifying modes, and £0.05 per hour to run in the fan-only mode.
To minimise the power used (and reduce operating costs):
Make sure that the filter is kept clean.
Make sure that the air intakes and exhausts are not obstructed.
Keep doors and windows closed to prevent conditioned air from escaping,
and to prevent exhaust air from re-entering the room.
Use blinds to prevent direct sunlight reaching the room.
Set the temperature higher whilst cooling, or lower whilst heating.
