yThis air conditioner has been designed and manufactured to operate in a domestic situation only and should
not be used for other purposes.
yThe appliance is not intended for use by young children or inrm persons.
yNever use the air conditioner in damp rooms (eg bathrooms and laundries)
yIf the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced with a new cord installed by a suitably qualied person.
yThis air conditioner is designed to be connected to a standard IO amp power supply outlet.
yDo not pull on or place strain on the power cord when using the appliance.
yDo not operate or stop the appliance by inserting or pulling out the power plug. Use the on/o󰀨 switch on the air
conditioner control panel or the remote control.
yDue to potential safety hazards, do not use an extension cord or share the power supply outlet with other
appliances. Do not connect to multiple power outlets on extension leads.
yDo not rest hot or heavy objects on the appliance.
yAlways unplug the unit from the power outlet before cleaning or maintenance operations, for example lter
cleaning.
yDo not place the air conditioner or plastic window slider in direct sunlight.
yFor maximum cooling e󰀩ciency keep the exhaust hose as short and as free of bends as possible.
yClean the lters at least once every two weeks.
yDo not splash the unit with water.
yDo not move the unit by pulling the exhaust hose attached to the back of the unit.
yDo not move air conditioner when it is operating.

yThe unit should be transported in a vertical position. If this is not possible, secure the unit at an angle, do not
lay it horizontally.
yDo not operate the air conditioner outdoors or in areas open to the outdoors.
yIf the air conditioner is only being used as a spot cooler (simply to put cool air directly on a person or thing), do
not connect the rear exhaust outlet.
yIf the compressor runs without cool air coming out of the top air outlet after 10 minutes of correct operation,
switch o󰀨 the unit and contact your supplier.
yWhen the compressor is running, hot air should always be expelled from the bottom rear outlet. If it is not,
switch o󰀨 and contact your supplier.
yAt high temperatures to protect the unit from overheating the compressor may stop. Air will ow out of the front
air outlet but it will not be cooled. In this event, switch o󰀨 the appliance for approximately one hour to enable the
thermal cut out to self reset. The unit may then be operated in the normal manner.

Safety Precautions
Read Safety Precautions Before Operation and Installation
Installation must be performed according to the installation instructions. Improper installation
can cause water leakage, electrical shock, or fire.
To prevent death or injury to the user or other people and property damage, the following
instructions must be followed. Incorrect operation due to ignoring of instructions may cause
death, harm or damage.
 Page 3
WARNING
This symbol indicates the possibility
of personal injury or loss of life.
CAUTION
This symbol indicates the possibility of
property damage or serious consequences.
Use only the included accessories and parts, and specified tools for the installation. Using non-
standard parts can cause water leakage, electrical shock, fire, and injury or property damage.
Make sure that the outlet you are using is grounded and has the appropriate voltage.
The power cord is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug to protect against shock.
Voltage information can be found on the nameplate of the unit.
Your unit must be used in a properly earthed wall socket. If the wall socket you intend to use is
not adequately grounded or protected by a time delay fuse or circuit breaker (the fuse or
circuit breaker needed is determined by the maximum current of the unit. The maximum
current is indicated on the nameplate located on unit), have a qualified electrician install the
proper earthed wall socket
Install the unit on a flat, sturdy surface. Failure to do so could result in damage or excessive
noise and vibration.
The unit must be kept free from obstruction to ensure proper function and to mitigate safety
hazards.
Do not modify the length of the power cord or use an extension cord to power the unit.
Do not share a single outlet with other electrical appliances. Improper power supply can
cause fire or electrical shock.
Do not install your air conditioner in a wet room such as a bathroom or laundry room. Too
much exposure to water can cause electrical components to short circuit.
Do not install the unit in a location that may be exposed to combustible gas, as this could
cause fire.
The unit has wheels to facilitate moving. Make sure not to use the wheels on thick carpet or to
roll over objects, as these could cause tipping.
Do not operate a unit that it has been dropped or damaged.
The appliance with electric heater shall have at least 1 meter space to the combustible
materials.
Do not touch the unit with wet or damp hands or when barefoot.
If the air conditioner is knocked over during use, turn off the unit and unplug it from the main
power supply immediately. Visually inspect the unit to ensure there is no damage. If you
suspect the unit has been damaged, contact a technician or customer service for assistance.

This portable air conditioner can alter the room temperature and humidity. It has multiple functions of cooling,
dehumidifying (drying) and fan ventilation, and can be moved from room to room and transported from building to
building easily. This portable air conditioner can alter the room temperature and humidity. It has multiple functions of
cooling, dehumidifying (drying) and fan ventilation. It can be moved from one room to another and transported from
building to building easily.
The air conditioner can maintain set room indoor air temperatures between 18°C and 32°C. The set room
temperature is displayed on the remote control and in the control panel on the unit. This does not mean that the
air conditioner will necessarily reduce the actual room temperature to the set room temperature. This appliance
operates at half the noise levels of most other portable air conditioners and is ideal for bedrooms.
This POLOCOOL portable refrigerated air conditioner model PC47C has a maximum cooling capacity of 4.7 kW.
This is su󰀩cient to cool rooms with a oor area of between 20 and 42 square metres.
yDo not place the air conditioner or plastic window slider in direct sunlight. Close all curtains in the room being
cooled.
yFor maximum cooling (COOLING MODE), set the temperature at 18°C and the fan at HIGH. After
approximately 3 minutes, the compressor will turn on and cooled air will come out of the front air outlet. Warm
air will also come out of the rear outlet and into the exhaust hose.
yIn COOLING MODE the air conditioner will not cool unless the set temperature is below the existing room
temperature.
yIn COOLING MODE once the existing room temperature reaches the set temperature, the fan continues
operating and the compressor switches on and o󰀨 to maintain the set temperature within the room.
yFor maximum cooling output keep the exhaust hose as short and as straight as possible. Minimise bends which
can reduce the maximum cooling capacity of the air conditioner. Elevate the air conditioner if necessary.
yMake sure the air intake and outlet grills are unobstructed.
yClean the lters at least once every two weeks.
