Point to Keep in Mind When Using Your Portable Air Conditioner

CAUTION!

Warnings for use

• Do not modify any part of this product.
• Do not insert anything into any part of the unit.
• Ensure the power supply used has an appropriate voltage rating. Only use a 220 – 240V, 50Hz, 10A mains electricity supply. Use of a power supply with an improper voltage rating can result in damage to the unit and possibly fire.
• Always use an anti-explosive circuit breaker or fuse with the proper amp rating. Do not, under any circumstances, use wire, pins or other objects in place of a proper fuse.
• In the event of any abnormality with the portable air conditioner (eg. a burning smell), do not pull out the plug directly, open the window for ventilation firstly, then turn the unit off and disconnect the power supply.

CAUTION!

Warning for power supply cord

• This power plug must only be plugged into an appropriate wall socket. Do not use in conjunction with any extension cords.
• Push the power plug securely into the socket and make sure it is not loose.
• Do not pull, deform or modify the power supply cord, or immerse it in water. Pulling or misuse of the power supply cord can result in damage to the unit and cause electrical shock.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced  by the manufacturer or its service agent or asimilarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard. Use only the manufacturer specified power cord for replacement.
• This appliance must be earthed. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an earth wire. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and earthed. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the square earthed pin (only for UK) from this plug.
  
  

Usage cautions

• Be sure to turn the unit off and disconnect the power supply cord before performing any maintenance or cleaning.
• Do not put unit near any heat source or open fire when replacing the filters.
• Do not splash or pour water directly onto the unit. Water can cause electrical shock or equipment damage.
• Drainage should be performed whenever moving the air conditioner. If any water remains in the tank, it may spill out while being moved.
• To ensure proper drainage, the drainage hose must have no kinks and must not be elevated during dry mode or heat mode. If the hose is kinked or elevated, the drained water may spill out into the room.
• The temperature around the drainage hose must not be below freezing point when used. Drained water may freeze inside the hose, causing water inside the unit to overflow into the room.
• Do not block the exhaust air outlet with obstacles. Cooling performance may be reduced or stop completely.
• Provide an anti-explosive residual current device (RCD) in order to protect against electric shock in accordance with British Standard and Wiring Rules.
• Exposure to direct airflow for an extended period of time could be hazardous to your health. Do not expose occupants, pets, or plants to direct airflow for extended periods of time.
• Do not use this portable air conditioner for non-specified special purposes (e.g. preserving precision devices, food, pets, plants, and art objects). Usage in such a manner could harm such property.
• Do not use means to accelerate the defrosting process or to clean, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
• The appliance shall be stored in a room without continuously operating ignition sources (for example: open flames, an operating gas appliance or an operating electric heater).
• Do not pierce or burn.
• Compliance with national gas regulations shall be observed.
• Keep ventilation openings clear of obstruction.

PLEASE NOTE: CHECK THE PLATE FOR THE TYPE OF REFRIGERANT GAS USED IN YOUR APPLIANCE.

• Do not pierce or burn.
• Refrigerant gases can be odourless.
• This appliance contains a certain number of grams (see rating label back of unit) of R290 refrigerant gas.
• R290 is a refrigerant gas that complies with the European directives on the environment. Do not puncture any part of the refrigerant circuit.
• If the appliance is installed, operated or stored in a non-ventilated area, the room must be designed to prevent the accumulation of refrigerant leaks resulting in a risk of fire or explosion due to ignition of the refrigerant caused by electric heaters, stoves, or other sources of ignition.
• The appliance must be stored in such a way as to prevent mechanical failure.
• Individuals who operate or work on the refrigerant circuit must have the appropriate certification issued by an accredited organisation that ensures competence in handling refrigerants according to a specific evaluation recognized by associations in the industry.

SAFETY INSTRUCTION

Notes on Operation

• Allow 4 minutes for the compressor to restart cooling. If you turn the air conditioner off and immediately restart it, allow 4 minutes for the compressor to restart cooling. There is an electronic device in the unit that keeps the compressor turned off for 4 minutes for safety.
• In the event of a power failure during use, allow 4 minutes before restarting the unit. After power is reinstated, restart the portable air conditioner. If the power was off for less than four minutes, be sure to wait at least four minutes before restarting the unit. If you restart the air conditioner within four minutes, a protective device in the unit may cause the compressor to shut off. This protective device will prevent cooling for about 5 minutes. Any previous setting will be cancelled and the unit will return to its initial setting.
• When you turn the unit off in cooling mode, the compressor will shut off immediately and the upper/under fan motor will stop running after 5 seconds. If changing from cooling to fan mode, the compressor will shut off immediately and the under fan motor will stop running after 5 seconds. If changing from cooling to heating mode, the compressor will shut off immediately and the under fan motor will stop running after 30 seconds.
• Low temperature operation: Is your unit freezing up? Freezing may occur when the unit is set close to 18ºC in low ambient temperature conditions, especially at night. In these conditions, a further temperature drop may cause the unit to freeze. Setting the unit to a higher temperature will prevent it from freezing.
• Dry mode decreases room temperature. Warm air will be blown out from the exhaust air outlet, but this is normal and does not indicate a problem with the unit.
• This portable air conditioner blows the warm air generated by the unit outside the room via the exhaust hose while in cool mode. In the mean time, the same amount of air will enter the room from outside through any openings of the room.
• Any person who is involved with working on or breaking into a refrigerant circuit should hold a current valid certificate from an industry-accredited assessment authority, which authorizes their competence to handle refrigerants safely in accordance with an industry recognized assessment specification.
• Servicing shall only be performed as recommended by the equipment  manufacturer. Maintenance and repair requiring the assistance of other skilled personnel shall be carried out under the supervision of the person competent in the use of flammable refrigerants.
• The working temperature range of the portable air conditioner is 16-35ºC (60-95ºF) under cooling mode; 5-27ºC (41-80ºF) under heating mode.
• WiFi Working frequency and maximum output power: 2412-2472 MHz, 15.72dBm

To prevent injury to the user or other people and property damage, the following instructions must be followed.
