Energy Saving and Unit Safety Protection Tips

• Do not cover or restrict the airflow from the outlet or inlet grills.
• For maximum performance, the minimum distance from a wall or object should be 50cm.
• Keep the filters clean. Under normal conditions, filters should only need cleaning once every three weeks (approximately). Since the filters remove airborne particles, more frequent cleaning may be necessary, depending on the air quality.
• For the initial startup set the fan speed to maximum and the thermostat to 4-5 degrees lower than the current temperature. After, set the fan switch to low and set the thermostat to your desired setting.
• To protect the unit we recommend not using the cooling function when the ambient temperature is higher than 35°C.

INSTALLATION

Installation:
Warning: Before using this unit, please keep it upright for at least 3-4 hours. This unit can easily be moved from one room to another. While moving the unit please note that it must always be kept upright and then placed on an even surface.

1. Assemble the fishtail connector onto the hose.

2. Assemble the exhaust hose to the air conditioner body. Extend one head of the hose and screw it into the unit anti-clockwise. The hose can be removed by screwing the hose clockwise.
   Note: screw it into place should take no less than three rotations.

3. In the same way, connect the hose to the assembled adaptor (at least three rotations).

4. Installation of window kits.
   Partially open the window and then fix the window kit to the window.

5. Make sure the unit is upright and there are no obstructions to the air inlets and outlet grills.

6. Fix the other end of the hose to the air-outlet window kit.

Note: The window kit is only designed to be installed with sliding or sash windows or doors. The window kit is not designed or is to be used with any other style of window. However, the fishtail adaptor can be used with most windows/doors. When using the cooling mode ensure that the opening left is as small as possible. The best form of installation is through a wall duct. By properly venting, you expel hot air from your room while efficiently cooling it.

Important safeguards
The length of the soft hose extends from 28 cm to 150 cm. If the hose is extended above this length the unit may malfunction and this can invalidate the warranty. The outlet vent must be well-ventilated and not obstructed as this will cause the unit to overheat. Avoid bending the air hose more than 30 degrees It is recommended to use an original exhaust duct with a length of 150cm. If additional length is needed, we recommended to add one original exhaust duct only, total length is 300cm. Otherwise, if the length is too long, it will cause insufficient heat dissipation and result in failure. Warranty does not apply under improper use.

WATER-DRAINAGE

1. Manual drainage:
   1.1 When the internal water tank is full the unit will stop working.
   1.2 Shut off the unit and unplug. Try not to move the model abruptly as this may cause water to spill out from the internal water tank.
   1.3 Place a tray under the water plug.
   1.4 Screw off the drain plug and unplug the water rubber stopper – water will drain from the container.
   1.5 Put the water rubber stopper back and screw the drain
   1.6 Plug cap back into place

2. Continuous drainage:
   2.1 Screw off the drain plug cap and unplug the water rubber stopper.
   2.2 Use a water pipe to connect to the water outlet.
   2.3 You can plumb this pipe into your current plumbing system, lead it outside or use a water pump.

Note: This model has a self-evaporative function, which reduces the need to empty the water tank. If the unit is vented correctly most of the water is reused to cool the condenser coils and any excess is evaporated. Please do not use continuous drainage if you intend to use the self-evaporating facility. If it is found that the water full light is on or there is water leakage, it is recommended to install the upper drain pipe first If the water leakage is still continued, you can install the lower drain pipe instead.
