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, PIPES, OR OTHER OBSTRUCTIONS, THAT WOULD PRESENT A DANGER AND/OR PREVENT COMPLETION OF INSTALLATION.

• This unit must be installed on an external wall, as it vents directly out of its rear.

• Only install the unit on a flat, solid, and reliable wall. Ensure that there are no cables, pipes, steel bars, or other obstructions behind the wall.

• Leave at least 10 cm of space to the left and right of the machine.

• At least 20cm of space must be left above the unit to help the air flow smoothly. A minimum distance of 50cm is advised from the front of the unit.

• 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. It is recommended to insulate any parts of the drain pipe which is accessible to prevent the build-up of ice when running at low temperatures.

• Use a 180 or 182mm core drill to drill the two holes for the unit’s ventilation, ensuring that both 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.

Note: The external cover should be positioned so that the slats within it are horizontal, with the exhaust aimed downwards.

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

• We would also advise running a bead of exterior caulk or similar around the external vent to help prevent water ingress.

• 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. If the wireless controller (Available separately) has been purchased, it should then be installed, and connected.

NOTE: 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.

• Place the bracket in position on the underside of the unit and mark the position of the screw hole on the wall.
• Remove the bracket and drill a hole using an 8mm drill bit before inserting a wall plug.
• Fix the bracket into position on the underside of the unit using the 2 small screws. Then attach the bracket to the wall using a screw through the wall plug previously inserted.

ATTACHING THE BOTTOM COVER
Note: Attachment of the bottom cover is optional. The bottom cover is designed to give the bottom of the unit a more attractive appearance when the unit is mounted at a height and the underside is visible.

• Following installation, use a screwdriver to remove the 4 rubber feet and the water tank bracket from the underside of the appliance.

• Place the bottom cover plate in position on the underside of the appliance, with the lips pointing up ( small lip at the rear of the unit)

• Attach the bottom plate using the screws removed from the feet. When fitting the bottom plate, all 4 screws should be fitted loosely, so the position of the plate can be adjusted before fully securing into position.

FUNCTIONS

PTC HEATER
This air conditioner contains an intelligent 1KW PTC heater, which is especially useful in low-temperature applications. It provides both a boost to the heat output of the appliance, as well as increases the performance of the heat pump in low-temperature conditions, by warming the cold coils, preventing the unit from entering defrost mode. This helps the room to reach the desired temperature as quickly as possible.
As well as warming the inside of the unit, the PTC heater will also provide extra heat to warm the room, which is expelled out of the unit and into the room
The PTC function can only be activated using the remote control and once activated, the PTC HEAT symbol will display on both the appliance and the remote. To ensure efficient operation the PTC heating element will only activate when the following conditions are met:

1. The unit is in heating mode.
2. The outdoor temperature is below 25°C.
3. The desired room temperature at least 5°C higher than the current room temperature.
4. The internal temperature of the evaporator coils within the appliance is below 48°C.
5. The compressor is running to increase the room temperature

If any of the above conditions are met while the PTC heater is operating, the PTC heater will turn off. The PTC function can also be manually turned off by pressing the PTC button on the remote.
Please note: As the electrical heating used in the PTC heater is less efficient than the heat pump, this feature is not activated when the unit is turned on, and must be reactivated if required each time the appliance is started.
