CARE & MAINTENANCE

LOCATION
This portable air conditioner must be installed on a at and
dry surface. A minimum clearance of 500mm from walls or
other appliances is required as well as easy access to a
power point (GPO).
The air outlets and the ducting system must not be obstructed.
IMPORTANT
The appliance is tted with a 1.2m exible 2 pin
cord 220-240V 50Hz 10A.
The maximum duct extension is 1.8m in total.
Both factors are to be taken into account when
determining the location that the appliance will
be operated in.
DUCT ASSEMBLY
1. Place the Duct to Unit Adaptor (17) over the Exhaust Outlet (5), push it downwards to ensure it engages the
Exhaust Outlet tabs.
2. Screw one end of the Exhaust Duct (16) into the Duct to Unit Adaptor (17).
3. On the other end of the Exhaust Duct (16) x either the Window Exhaust Duct Adaptor (15) or the Wall
Exhaust Adaptor (18).

EXHAUST DUCTING OPTIONS
There are two ducting options available for this appliance, these are a Window installation or an optional Semi-
permanent wall installation.
IMPORTANT
DO NOT over extend the exhaust duct.
Over extension of the exhaust duct can lead to kinking.
Kinked ducting causes air ow restrictions and lowers the
e󰀩ciency of the appliance.
Keeping the exhaust duct as short as possible avoids this
issue.
WINDOW INSTALLATIONS
The window kit has been designed to t most standard vertical and horizontal window applications. There may be
some cases where you may need to modify some aspects of this installation procedure for certain window types.
Minimum and maximum horizontal / vertical window opening dimensions:
1. Once a suitable window has been chosen, t the Adjustable Slider Kit (14) into the window areas and x the
length of the kit using the supplied slide lock nut and bolt.
NOTE
It is recommended to place a length of foam draft sealing strip along the top and bottom edges of
the kit or the inside the window opening to form a seal.
2. Connect the Window Exhaust Duct Adaptor (15) to the Adjustable Slider Kit (14).

SEMI-PERMANENT WALL INSTALLATION
In some cases a window opening might not be assessable; therefore this appliance is supplied with semi-permanent
wall ange kit that can be connected the Exhaust Duct.
WARNING
The positioning and installation of the wall ange should be completed by an authorised person
and must comply with all municipal building codes and OH&S guidelines.
CONDENSATE DRAINAGE
NOTE
Condensate produced by this appliance is NOT potable,
dispose of via waste outlet or allow to evaporate.
INTERNAL CONDENSATE TANK
During operation the appliance may produce small amounts of
condensate. The appliance has an inbuilt condensate tank. If all three
drain outlets (7), (8) and (12) are plugged, then this tank may reach
capacity. If this happens, the appliance will stop operation and the
condensate full code “P1” will be shown on the control panel display
and the condensate tank will need to be drained before operation can
be resumed. To do this:
1. Place shallow tray such as an oven baking tray or similar (with at
least a 1 litre volume) under Drain Tray Outlet (12).
2. Remove the plug from Drain Tray Outlet (12) and drain out the
condensate water, once the condensate is drained replace the
plug, the appliance will now be able to then resume operation.
FIXED CONDENSATE DRAINAGE HOSE
As an alternative to using the appliances internal condensate tank, a condensate drain hose (20) may de tted.
Option 1 - External Drain Tray: with drain outlets (8) and (12) plugged, t the condensate drain hose (20) to drain
outlet (7) and drain the condensate into a drain tray.
Option 2 - Existing Waste Outlet: with drain outlets (7) and (8) plugged, t the condensate drain hose (20) to drain
outlet (12) and drain the condensate into a drain tray or waste outlet.
NOTE
The point to which the condensate is to be drained MUST BE lower than the drainage outlet point.
When using a drain tray option, ensure that the capacity of the tray is greater than that of the
condensate being produced.
