CONTROLS

Control Panel

Power Button

• Turn the appliance on and off.

Mode Button

• Select between cooling, dehumidifying, fan-only, and heating modes.

• Cooling Mode – Perfect for cooling a room in hot weather. Use the up and down buttons when in cooling mode to set the desired temperature between 16-30°C. The appliance will cool the room if the room temperature goes above the set temperature. If the room temperature goes below the set temperature the appliance will stop cooling the room and the fan will remain operating at the set fan speed.

SAFETY FEATURES

Anti-Frost Protection
If the internal pipe temperature drops too low the compressor and water spraying motor will turn off. The display will show E4 and the appliance will initiate antifrost protection rendering the control panel buttons inactive apart from the power button. Once the internal pipe temperature has warmed the anti-frost protection will cease and the appliance will return to operating at the chosen settings.

Anti-Overheat Protection

• If the internal pipe temperature rises too high the compressor will turn off and the appliance will initiate anti-overheat protection rendering the control panel buttons inactive apart from the power button.
• Once the internal pipe temperature has cooled the anti-overheat protection will cease and the appliance will return to operating at the chosen settings.

Automatic Defrosting

• If the internal pipe temperature is too low upon turning on the appliance and selecting a heating mode or drops too low whilst operating in heating mode the heating mode indicator light will flash and the appliance will initiate automatic defrosting rendering the control panel buttons inactive apart from the power button.
• Once the internal pipe temperature has warmed the automatic defrosting will cease and the appliance will return to operating at the chosen settings.

Compressor Delay Protection

• To protect the compressor, apart from when the appliance and compressor are activated for the first time after being turned on via the power button, there will be a three-minute delay between every occurrence of the compressor turning off and on.
