Warning: Leave the unit to stand for 12 hours before connecting to the mains electricity supply after transport or when it has been tilted (e.g. cleaning), to allow the coolant gases time to settle.

Unpacking

• Open the box and remove all of the packaging and the exhaust assembly
• Grip the unit by the carry handles located on either side and carefully lift until it slides out of the foam base
• Install the exhaust hose assembly onto the unit before switching on

Installing Exhaust Hose

• Extend the exhaust hose by pulling out the two ends of the hose.

• Screw the exhaust hose into the exhaust hose connector, turning anti-clockwise.

• Screw the other end of the exhaust hose onto the exhaust hose adaptor.

Positioning the Appliance

This unit can easily be moved from one room to another on the rolling castor wheels, please note that whilst moving the unit, it should be kept in an upright position.

• The exhaust heat must be expelled through a window, door or ventilation through a wall; whilst in air cooling or heating mode. For best results it is recommended to vent through a wall duct.

• Ensure the unit is positioned on a flat and even surface, at least 45cm away from wall, curtains, draperies, or heat sources to ensure adequate air circulation.

• The exhaust hose can be extended from 30cm to 150cm, but it is recommended to use as short as possible as this will minimize the escape of any expelled air and offer better results.

• The exhaust air must flow freely. Avoid kinks and bends in the hose more than 30 degrees as any blockages can lead to the unit overheating

Warning: Do not use the unit in a wet room, such as a bathroom or laundry room or in areas where the unit is likely to get splashed.
