Energy Saving and Unit Safety Protection Tips

• Do not cover or restrict the airflow from the outlet or inlet grills.
• 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 maybe necessary , depending on the air quality.
• For the initial start-up set the fan speed to maximum and the thermostat to 4-5 degree lower than the current temperature . After , set the fan switch to low and set the hemostat to your desired setting.
• To protect the unit , we recommend not using the cool mode when the ambient temperature is higher than 35℃.

NOTE : Some pictures and information may vary from the final product . This is due to continual product improvement.

WHATS INCLUDED

INSTALLATION

TOOLS REQUIRED

BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION, PLEASE ENSURE YOU HAVE ALL SUITABLE EQUIPMENT AVAILABLE AND UNDERSTAND THE STEPS INVOLVED IN INSTALLATION. IF IN ANY DOUBT, PROFESSIONAL ADVICE SHOULD BE SOUGHT.
THE INSTALLER MUST ENSURE THAT THE PLANNED POSITION OF THE AIR CONDITIONER IS SUITABLE, AND THAT THERE ARE NO CABLES AND PIPES INSIDE THE WALL, AND NO OTHER OBSTRUCTIONS FOXED ON THE WALL, WHICH WOULD PRESENT A DANGER AND/OR PREVENT COMPLETION OF INSTALLATION.

INSTALLATION

This unit must be installed on an external wall, as it vents directly out of its rear.and ensure the wall is flat, solid and reliable.
Leave at least 10 cm of space to the left, right and base of the machine. At least 20cm of space must be left above the unit to help air flow smoothly and stay away from curtains, plants, faucets, furniture and others appliances etc.

Paste the supplied installation template paper in position on the wall, ensuring that the reference line is level using a spirit level.

The hole for the drainage pipe must be drilled using a 25mm Drill bit. Ensure the hole is at a downward angle (min 5 degrees) so that the water will drain correctly.

Use a 180mm core drill to drill the two holes for the units ventillation, ensuring that both the holes are aligned with the template.
Use the template to mark the position of the screws for the hanging rail, using a spirit level to ensure it is straight and level. Drill the marked holes using a suitable 8mm drill bit and insert wall plugs. Line the hanging rail with the holes, and fix the rail into position using the supplied screws.
Ensure that the hanging rail is securely fastened onto the wall, and that there is no risk of the unit tipping or falling.

Roll the plastic vent sheets into a tube and feed them from the inside into the holes previously made. Ensure the tubes sit flush to the interior wall.

Go outside and trim off the excess vent tube using a sharp knife, keeping the edge as neat as possible.

Insert the indoor fixing ring from the vent cover onto the indoor side of the air vent. Then fold the external vent cover in half. Attach the chains to each side of the vent cover, before sliding the cover outside through the vent hole.

Expand the external cover, before tightly fixing the chains by hooking onto the indoor fixing ring. This will hold the external cover firmly in position. Repeat for the second vent.

Once the chains are fitted and secure, any excess chain should be removed by cutting the chain.

Lift the unit onto the wall, align the hanging holes with the hooks on the hanging rail and gently rest the unit into place. At the same time, slide the drain pipe through the drainage hole.

NOTE:

1. 1st: please ensure that the backside of product is tightly attached on the wall to avoid additional vibration and noise.
2. 2nd : The end of the external water pipe must be placed in an open space or drain. Avoid damage or constriction to the drainage pipe to ensure the unit drains.
