temperature.
2. The display window will show the temperature you set as you press
'Temperature up' or 'Temperature down' button. Otherwise, it will always
show the ambient temperature.
3. The pre-set temperature of this machine is: 24oC for cooling
Setting ventilation speed
1. Press SPEED button to choose the ventilation speed you (high or low).
The speed indicator light will indicate which speed setting is in use.
2. If the unit is in AUTO mode, it will choose the ventilation speed
automatically according to the ambient temperature (the related

Remote control
All the above functions can also be performed with the
supplied remote control. This remote control requires 2xAAA
batteries to operate.
Note: Batteries contain materials, which are hazardous to
the environment; they must be removed from the appliance
at the end of their life and disposed of safely.
Regulating air flow direction
Turn the roller on the air vent
horizontally to control the air flow
direction.
NOTE
1. To prolong the compressor's life, after switching off the unit, please wait
forat least 3 minutes before switch back on.
2. The cooling system will switch off if the ambient temperature is lower
than the termperature set. The ventilation, however, keeps working on
the set level. If the ambient temperature rises above the selected level,
the cooling system will start operating.
H. DRAINAGE
NOTE: When the room humidity is over 85%, it is necessary to use
“continuous drainage” with the extended drain tube.
This unit is self evaporating and the condensate will vent out of the exhaust
hose. However, during the coiling process any excess will collect in the
reservoir inside the unit.
If the reservoir is full the compressor and motor will stop operating and the
unit will make a beeping noise and the water full (WF) indicator will flash.
Pressing any button on the control panel will stop this sound.
To enable the cooling system to start operating again, the water inside the unit
required draining in one of the following ways:
1. Turn off the air conditioner
and unplug from the power
socket. While the reservoir
is full, avoid moving the unit.
2. Position the water tray
underneath the drain hole.
3. Remove the drain cap and
rubber plug from the drain
hole and allow the water to
drain out.
4. Once drained replace the
rubber plug and firmly
tighten the drain cap.
5. Switch on the unit - the W.F
light should not be flashing.
If you wish to operate the unit without the need to empty, you can fit the
optional drain hose.
1. Remove the drain cap and
rubber plug, and retain for
future use. Connect the drain
tube supplied as shown and
locate the other end into a
drain.
2. The drain tube may be
extended by adding
an extension tube and using a
suitable connector, (not
supplied by the manufacturer)
Approx 18mm outer diameter.
Please note
•The drain must be at or below the outlet level.
•Flashing W.F - ‘full water’ indicator will not function in this mode of
drainage.

I. MAINTENACE
