Dear Customer,
Thank you for purchasing our PYE Portable Air Conditioner. Please be sure to read this user manual
carefully before using it.
BEFORE FIRST USE
Read and follow the instructions in this user manual even if you feel you are familiar with the product, and
find a place to keep it handy for future reference.
For your convenience record the model number (located on the product identification plate) and the date you
received the product, together with your purchase receipt and attach to the warranty and service information.
Retain your proof of purchase in the event that warranty service is required.
NOTE: the rating of this product (as marked on the product identification plate) is based on specific loading
tests. Normal use or the use of other recommended attachments may draw significantly less power.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using any electrically powered product, basic safety precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT
• Read all instructions.
• Always operate the product from a power source of the same voltage, frequency and rating as
indicated on the product identification plate.
• Disconnect the power plug before dismantling, assembling or before cleaning.
• Avoid touching mobile parts of the appliance.
• Do not use the appliance for any other purpose other than its intended use.
• Do not operate this product with a damaged cord or plug, or after the product malfunctions, or
appears damaged in any way. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
• This appliance is for indoor use only.
• Keep the appliance away from heat sources, and direct sunlight.
• Never insert fingers, pencils, or any other objects through the air vent guards whenever the power
plug is connected, especially while running.
• Always switch off the appliance before unplugging it.
• The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons unless they have been
adequately supervised by a responsible person to ensure that they can use the unit safely.
• This appliance is not to be used by children or persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge unless they have been given supervision or
instruction. Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• When using the appliance never leave the appliance unsupervised when in use. Switch off the
appliance if you have to leave for even a short period of time.
• Never use the mains point switch as a switch to start and turn off the air conditioning unit. Use the
provided On/Off switch located on the control panel.
• Do not use this appliance with an extension cord, unless it has been checked and tested by a
qualified electrician or electrical supplier.
• Always place the portable air conditioner on a dry stable surface.

3
• The air conditioning unit must always be stored and transported upright, otherwise you may cause
irreparable damage to the compressor; in case of any doubt after moving the appliance we suggest
to wait for at least 24 hours before you start the air-conditioning unit.
• Always unplug the appliance before cleaning or changing any parts of the appliance, or when it’s not
in use.
• Never immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid.
• The appliance must not be used if the guards are not fastened according to instructions.
• Do not use your appliance with an extension cord unless it has been checked and tested by a
qualified electrician or electrical supplier.
• The air conditioning unit must always be stored and transported upright, otherwise you may cause
irreparable damage to the compressor; in case of doubt wait at least 24 hours before you start the
air-conditioning unit.
• Avoid restarting the air conditioning unit unless 4 minutes have passed, since being turned off, or the
compressor may get damaged.
SPECIAL RECOMMENDATIONS
• Ensure that the appliance is positioned on a flat, large, dry surface without any obstacles nearby. A
minimum distance from furniture and walls is 50cm in all directions.
• The plug should be easily accessible.
• In order to maintain the function of the compressor, the appliance should always be in a vertical
position.
• Do not use the appliance near gas or other flammable liquids.
• Do not block the air outlet or the air inlet ventilation.
• Do not use spray (insecticides, paint) or any other flammable products near the appliance as the
plastic may become deformed. The unit may also sustain electrical damage.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
• Keep blinds and /or draperies, on any windows, closed during the sunniest part of the day.
• Keep the filters clean. Under normal conditions, the filters should be cleaned every 2 weeks. Since
the filters remove airborne particles, more frequent cleaning may be necessary, depending on the
indoor air quality.
• Set the fan speed switch to high cool and the thermostat to the coolest position for the initial start-up,
then set the Fan switch to Low cool and lower the thermostat to a comfortable setting.
POWER SOURCE
• The plug should be well secured and not damaged.
• Do not plug in the appliance with an adaptor.
• Plug into the wall socket before switching on the appliance, and then press the ON/OFF button.

INSTALLATION
Location:
• Install the unit on a flat, dry surface.
• Leave at least 50cm of space all around the unit.
Temporary method
1. Fix the end of the exhaust duct to the exhaust terminal of the unit.
2. Half-open the window and let the air outlet duct through.
The window slider kit has been designed to fit most standard vertical and horizontal windows. It is adjustable.
Permanent method
1. Fix the end of the exhaust duct to the exhaust terminal of the unit.
2. Cut hole (＞Φ155mm) into the wall.
3. Fit the supplied round exhaust on the air outlet duct.
Mounting in the wall

5
Incorrect mounting
1. The bend of the exhaust pipe is very important.
2. Incorrect mounting can contribute to cooling inefficiency.
Take care to prevent any sharp bows or bends in the exhaust. The exhaust air must be able to flow
freely.
WARNING
The length of the exhaust pipe is specifically designed according to the specification of this product.
Do not replace or lengthen it with your own private hose as this could cause mal-function.
CAUTION: Use the shortest possible length. When mounting, we advise to keep the exhaust pipe in a
horizontal position. When the hole is not in use, use the cap to cover the hole.

Note: If the water full alarm is often on, the unit may malfunction. Contact a professional service centre for
help.
