exhaust hose connector out of an open window. (Fig. 3).
NOTE: Ambient air will still be able to enter the room this way.To cool the room
effectively, the window kit must be properly installed.
IMPORTANT: For best performance, keep the length of the air exhaust hose to
the minimum length necessary during operation.
WARNING: Do not operate the unit in this way during damp or wet weather
conditions.

Installing the Window Kit
The window kit has been designed to fit most standard ‘horizontal’ and‘vertical’
window applications, but for certain types of windows it may be necessary for you
to improvise/modify some aspects of the installation procedure.
• Adjust the window slider to the length of a horizontally (or height of a vertically)
opening window (Fig. 4) and fix it with a dowel (Fig. 5).

1. Before switching the unit On for the first time, make sure you have properly
installed the exhaust hose and window kit (see pages 13 and 14 for installation
instructions). Install 2 x AAA batteries (included) into the remote control,
following the polarity markings shown on the remote control.
2. Find a place for the Air Conditioner where
there is a power outlet nearby, ensuring
that the unit is positioned at minimum
30cm away from any surface on all sides.
3. Install the exhaust hose and window kit so
that the hot exhaust air is expelled to the
outside (Fig. 7).
4. Ensure the rubber drainage stopper at the
back of the Air Conditioner is properly in
place to block the drainage outlet.
5. Plug the Air Conditioner into a power outlet and switch On.
NOTE: Do not connect the Air Conditioner to a powerboard, double adaptor or
socket with multiple outlets that are being used by other appliances.
6. Press the POWER button and the unit will begin operating.
Room size
It is important to use the right size Air Conditioner in the room you want to cool.This
appliance is suitable for cooling rooms of 15m2–20m2size.
Exhaust hose
This MUST BE CONNECTED and hot air expelled to the outside for the appliance to
work properly. Keep the hose as short as possible.
Noise
As the compressor is inside the room, a portable Air Conditioner makes more noise
than a split system, where the compressor is outside.
For best cooling efficiency, keep blinds and curtains closed during the sunniest
part of the day. Close off any fireplace damper, floor and/or wall vents so cool air
does not escape through the chimney or duct work.
Moving the Air Conditioner
Take care when moving the appliance as water collected as condensation may
spill out. Ensure drainage outlet is empty before moving the Air Conditioner.

Using Your Portable Air Conditioner (cont)
Switching On/Off
After switching On, allow 30 seconds for cool air to flow through the louvres.
Avoid starting the Air Conditioner within 3 minutes after switching it Off, and avoid
switching it Off within 3 minutes after switching it On.
Cooling Mode
Press the MODE button until the cooling mode indicator illuminates.
Press the DOWN (-) or UP (+) button repeatedly to set the desired room
temperature between 16°C and 31°C.
NOTE: If the current temperature in the room is lower than the temperature
selected, the Air Conditioner will not begin cooling until the temperature in the
room rises above the set temperature.
NOTE: The Air Conditioner has a built-in thermostat and will cycle Off and On
depending upon the ambient temperature of the room. This is NOT a product fault.
Fan Speed Selection
Press the SPEED button to select the fan speed: High or Low.
NOTE: For best cooling efficiency, make sure that:
• Curtains/blinds are closed if your room is directly exposed to the sun.
• The Air Conditioner is located away from any heat source.
Dehumidifying Mode
Press the MODE button until the dehumidifying mode indicator illuminates.
The unit will automatically set the fan to Low speed and maintain the room
temperature at 2°C lower than the current room temperature (within the 16°C to
31°C range).
This removes excess moisture from the air leaving it feeling fresher and less humid.
Fan Mode
Press the MODE button until the fan mode indicator illuminates.
Press the SPEED button to select the fan speed: High or Low.
NOTE: In Fan Mode, only the fan will operate to circulate air. There will be no
cooling effect.
