Instructions
Using the portable air conditioner
• Before switching the unit on for the first time, make sure you have properly
installed the exhaust hose and window kit (see pages 7–8 and 15–16) and
inserted two AAA size batteries into the remote control (see page 28).
• Find a place for the air conditioner where there is a power outlet nearby.
• Install the exhaust hose through
the window kit so that the hot air is
expelled to the outside (Fig. 14).
• Ensure the rubber stopper at the
back of the appliance is properly in
place to block the drainage outlet.
• Plug the portable air conditioner
into a properly earthed 220–240V ~
50Hz mains socket and switch on
power to the outlet.
NOTE: Do not connect it to a multiple socket outlet that is also being used
for other electrical appliances. Do not connect it to an extension cord.
• Press the POWER button and the unit will start operation.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
• 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
10m2–14m2size.)
• 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
register so cool air does not escape through the chimney or duct work.
• Switching on/off: After switching on, allow 30 seconds for cool air to
flow through the louvres. Avoid starting the air conditioner soon after
switching off, and avoid switching it off immediately after switching on.
Allow at least 3 minutes in between switching the unit on and then off,
or vice versa.
• Moving the appliance: Take care when moving the appliance as conden-
sation water may spill out. Ensure the drip tray is empty before moving it.

Water full alarm
Condensation water that forms during cooling will drop into an in-built drip
tray. When the water level in the drip tray is getting too full, an automatic
water level sensor illuminates the Water Full (W.F.) indicator on the control
panel to alert you that the drip tray needs to be emptied.
Should the W.F. indicator light up during operation, proceed as follows:
• Unplug the unit from the power supply.
