Product Usage Instructions

Installation

1. Before using the unit, keep it upright for at least 3-4 hours.
2. To assemble the fishtail connector on the hose:
3. Extend one head of the hose and screw it into the unit anti-clockwise. The hose can be removed by screwing it clockwise.
4. Connect the hose to the assembled adaptor by screwing it in place anti-clockwise.
5. Install the window kit:
6. Partially open the window.
7. Fix the window kit to the window.
8. Ensure the unit is upright and there are no obstructions to the air inlets and outlet grills.
9. Fix the other end of the hose to the air-outlet window kit.

Note : The window kit is designed for sliding or sash windows or doors. 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 to properly vent hot air from your room while efficiently cooling it.

Important Safeguards

• The length of the soft hose extends from 28 cm to 150 cm. Do not extend the hose beyond this length to avoid unit malfunction and warranty invalidation.
• Ensure the outlet vent is well-ventilated and not obstructed to prevent unit overheating.
• Avoid bending the air hose more than 30 degrees.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Important!

• Carefully read the instructions before operating the unit

• This appliance is for indoor use only.

• Rating: This unit must be only connected to a 220-240 V / 50 Hz earthed outlet.

• Installation must be in accordance with the regulations of the country where the unit is used.

• If you are in any doubt about the suitability of your electrical supply have it checked and, if necessary, modified by a qualified electrician.

• This air conditioner has been tested and is safe to use. However, as with any electrical appliance – use it with care.

• Disconnect the power plug from the socket before dismantling, assembling or cleaning.

• Avoid touching any moving parts of the appliance.
  Never insert fingers, pencils, or any other objects though the guard

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities. It is also not intended for use by those with a lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Do not leave children unsupervised with this appliance.

• Do not clean the unit by spraying it or immersing it in water.

• Never connect the unit to an electrical outlet using an extension cord. If an outlet is not available, one should be installed by a qualified electrician.

• Never operate this appliance if the cord or plug is damaged. Ensure the power cord is not stretched or exposed to sharp object/edges.

• A damaged supply cord should be replaced by the manufacturer or a qualified electrician in order to avoid a hazard.

• Any service other than regular cleaning or filter replacement should be performed by an authorized service representative. Failure to comply could result in a voided warranty.

• Do not use the appliance for any other purposes than its intended use.

• The air conditioner unit must always be stored and transported upright, otherwise irreparable damage may be caused to the compressor; if in doubt we suggest waiting at least 24 hours before starting the unit.

• Avoid restarting the air conditioning unit unless 3 minutes have passed since being turned off
  This prevents damage to the compressor.

• Never use the mains plug as a switch to start and turn off the air conditioning unit. Use the provided ON/OFF switch located on the control panel.

• Always place the unit on a dry and stable surface.

• The appliance should not be installed in laundry or wet rooms

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 objects 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 maybe 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 35C.

WATER-DRAINAGE

Manual drainage:

1. When the internal water tank is full the unit will stop working.
2. Shut off the unit and unplug it. Try not to move the model abruptly as this may cause water to spill out from the internal water tank.

2. Use a water pipe to connect to the water outlet.
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

Maintenance

Cleaning

• Please shut off the unit and unplug from the mains before cleaning or performing any maintenance

Clean the surfac e

• Clean the plastic housing with a duster or a soft wet cloth.
• Do not use chemical solvents (such as benzene, alcohol or gasoline) as they may cause irreversible damage.

Air filter cleaning

• a) Clean the air filters every 2 weeks. If the air filter is blocked with dust, the unit’s performance will be significantly affected.
