Stand the appliance on a firm, flat, level surface, at least 500 mm from
the nearest wall.
Connect the exhaust hose as follows: expand a small section of the end,
and screw into the indoor adaptor; then slide the indoor adaptor into the
slot at the back of the unit. Expand a small section of the other end of the
hose, and screw into the fish-tail-shaped adaptor.
Slide the two-part window adaptor to the correct length to fit the window

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 1.7 m long, but the shorter it is the more
efficiently the appliance will operate. Do not extend the hose, or replace
with another type of hose.
Fit two AAA batteries to the remote control, observing the correct polarity.

OPERATION
Leave the appliance in an upright position for 3 hours before first use.
Plug the mains lead into a 13 Amp mains socket (unless permanently
installed)
If connecting via an extension lead, make sure that the lead is rated at 13
Amps or more, and that it is fully unwound.
Switch the unit on at the mains socket.
ON/OFF Button: Press the "ON/OFF" button to start the unit. The Power
indicator illuminates when the appliance is ON. There will be a short
delay (of about 3 minutes) before the appliance starts to operate.
"MODE" Button: Select the mode by pressing the "MODE" button. The
available modes are: Page 4

Cooling mode: cools if the room temperature is above the selected
temperature.Then use the s and t buttons to select the desired
room temperature. When the temperature reaches the desired
temperature, the compressor will stop, and the fan will continue to run.
Dehumidifying mode: removes humidity, but does not affect room
temperature. The fan operates at its lowest speed. For best results,
do not use the exhaust tube, but fit a permanent drainage pipe to the
drain outlet as shown on page 7.
Fan mode: circulates the air, but does not affect room
temperature or humidity. The exhaust tube is not requires in fan
mode.
"SPEED" Button: Set the fan speed using the fan speed control.
In all modes except dehumidifying mode. The fan speed can be low,
medium or high. The fan speed is indicated by the speed of the segments
on the windmill symbol on the LED display.
s and t buttons:
Use the s and t buttons to select the desired room temperature. The
temperature can be set to any temperature from 18 °C to 30 °C. Selecting
a higher temperature whilst cooling will reduce power consumption.
Pressing both s and t buttons together changes the display between
Celsius and Fahrenheit.
SWING button: Press the "SWING" button to turn the oscillation
of the louvres on or off.
ECONOMY MODE. Press the button to select economy mode. In
economy mode the fan speed is reduced, the cooling temperature is fixed
at 27°C.
WATER INJECTION.
If the water injection indicator illuminates then the cooling efficiency
can be enhanced by adding water to the water injection tank. The filler is
located at the right hand side, next to the handle. (see drawing on page
2). Do not add water in fan or dehumidifying modes.
Page 5

If the "WATER FULL" indicator lights, the condensate water tank is
full. This should only happen very rarely, as most
of the water collected is evaporated and sent
down the exhaust air tube.
To empty the water, switch the unit off by
pressing the ON/OFF button, wait for three
minutes, and then disconnect from the mains
supply. Place a drainage pan underneath the
drain outlet plug (an the bottom of the unit, at the
back in the centre). Withdraw the bung, and allow
the water to drain into the drainage pan. Replace
the bung, and reconnect the unit to the mains
supply.
The water should be disposed of down a drain.
To avoid the need to empty the water, a permanent drain tube may be
fitted as shown: use a
piece of 18mm diameter
tube (not supplied) and
run the pipe to a drain,
making sure that it runs
downhill all the way.
Always switch off using the on-off switch on the control panel, NOT by
switching off at the mains socket. This is so that the appliance can allow
the gas pressures to equalise.
Unplug the appliance from the mains when not in use.
USING THE TIMER
The timer can set the unit to run for a selected time (between ½ and 24
hours) and then turn OFF.
Or, it can set the unit to wait for a selected time (between ½ and 24

control display the room temperature. The remote control handset can
they be used as a thermometer when not controlling the air-conditioner.
END OF SEASON STORAGE.
Before putting the appliance into storage, empty all water from the drain,
and run the appliance on "fan only" mode for a few hours to dry the inside
thoroughly. Clean the filter, unplug the mains cable, and store the
appliance in its original box in an upright position.
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 EH0468 will cost £0.24 per hour to run in cooling or
dehumidifying modes, and £0.06 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.
MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning, turn the appliance off, and disconnect from the mains
supply. The appliance 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.

Cleaning the filter:
The filter is located on the side panel of the appliance.
Unclip to remove, then remove dust and dirt using a
vacuum cleaner. The filter should be cleaned every
two weeks to maintain optimum performance. Using a
dry 1" (25mm) paint-brush, remove any dust from the
grilles.
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,
