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
  • In the event of a power failure during use, allow 4 minutes before restarting the unit. After power is reinstated, restart the 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 canceled 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 operate the unit to fan mode from the cooling mode, the compressor will shut off immediately and the under fan motor will stop running after 5 seconds; and if operate the unit to heating mode from the cooling 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 18°C 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.
  • Dehumidification mode increases room The unit generates heat during dehumidification mode and the room temperature will rise. 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 air conditioner blows the warm air generated by the unit outside the room via the exhaust hose while in cool mode. In the meantime, 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 currently valid certificate from an industry-accredited assessment authority, which authorizes their competence to handle refrigerants safely in accordance with industry-recognized assessment specification.
  • Servicing shall only be performed as recommended by the equipment 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
    air conditioner is 5-43°C (41-109°F).

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Exhausting hot air

In the Cool Mode, the appliance must be placed close to a window or opening so that the warm exhaust air can be ducted outside. First position unit on a flat floor and make sure there’s a minimum of 50cm clearance around the unit and is within the vicinity of a single circuit outlet power source.

  1. Extend either side of the hose(Fig.1) and screw the hose to adaptor A (Fig.2).
    **** The adaptor A has already been screwed to the hose for this unit.

  2. Extend the other side of the hose and screw it to adaptor B (Fig. 3).

  3. Install the adaptor A into the unit (Fig.4)

|
---|---

4. Use the 4 buckles on adaptor B to affix the adaptor into the window slider kit and seal. (Fig. 5&6)

**** The hose can be extended from its original length of 38cm up to 150cm, but it is best to keep the length to the minimum required
Also make sure that the hose does not have any sharp bends or sags. (Fig. 7)

Installation in a double-hung sash window
  1. Cut the Foam seal* (adhesive type) to the proper lengths and attach them to the window and stool. (Fig. 8)

  2. Open the window sash and place the window slider kit on the window stool (Fig0 9). Attach the window slider kit to the window sill. Adjust the length of the window slider kit according to the width of the window. Screw down the two screws on the window slider kit. See Fig.9.
    **** Cut the adjustable window slider kit if the width of the window is less than 67.5cm (Fig. 10).

  3. Close the window sash securely against the window slider kit. (Fig. 11)

  4. Drive two 12.7mm screws to secure the window slider kit to the window sash. (Fig. 11)

  5. Secure the window slider kit to the window sill (Fig. 11):
    A: For wooden windows: Use 19mm screws for securing.
    B: For Vinyl-Clad windows: Use 12.7 hex head cap screws for securing.

  6. To secure lower sash in place, attach right angle Sash lock* with 12.7mm screw as shown (Fig. 12).
    **** It is difficult to lock the windows with the safety lock for Vinyl-Clad windows, so you can use a lock by window itself.

  7. Cut the Foam seal* to an appropriate length and seal the open gap between the top window sash and outer window sash, as shown in Fig. 13.

 Installation in a sliding sash window
  1. Cut the Foam seal* (adhesive type) to the proper lengths and attach them to the window frame. See Fig. 14.
  2. Open the window sash and place the window slider kit on the window stool (Fig. 15). Attach the window slider kit to the window frame. Adjust the length of the window slider kit according to the height of the window. Screw down the two screws on the window slider kit. See Fig. 15. Cut the adjustable window slider kit if the height of the window is less than 67.5cm (Fig. 10).
  3. Close the window sash securely against the window slider kit. (Fig. 16)
  4. Drive two 12.7mm screws to secure the window slider kit to the window sash. (Fig. 16)
  5. Drive two 19mm screws to secure the window slider kit to the window frame. (Fig. 16)
  6. Cut the Foam seal* to an appropriate length and seal the open gap between the sliding sash and outer window sash, as shown in Fig. 17.
  7. To secure sliding sash in place, attach right angle safety lock with 12.7mm screw as shown (Fig. 18).

 Drainage instruction

Continuous Drainage
During the DRY mode or heat pump model, you will need a garden hose (sold separately) or drain hose to drain the condensate from the unit Follow the steps below:

  • Unscrew the drain cap of the continuous drain outlet (Fig.20).
  • Connect one end of the garden hose (sold separately) or drain hose to the drain outlet then lead the other end into a drain that is lower than the unit (Fig.21)
NOTE:
  • Condensate may flow out after removing the drain cap, if the unit is running in Cool or Auto mode When you want to remove the hose, prepare a drip tray (not supplied) to collect the condensate from the drain outlet.
  • Please be sure that the height of the drain and section of the drain hose should not be higher than that of the drain outlet, or the continuous drainage may not work properly.
  • During Cool or Auto mode, it is recommended to disable continuous drainage by replacing the drain cap to the drain outlet, to reach the maximum performance

Emptying the condensate residue inside the unit during winter storage.
Put a drip tray (not supplied) under the bottom drain outlet, then pull out the drain cap to allow the condensate to flow into the drip tray.
Replace the drain cap to the continuous drain outlet when no condensate flows out.
Put the drip tray under the bottom drain outlet, then remove the rubber stopper from the drain outlet, to allow the condensate to flow into the drip tray If your drip tray can’t hold all the condensate, a number of fills will be needed.
Replace the drain cap to the bottom drain outlet when no condensate flows out.

NOTE: To ensure all condensate residue has been removed, tilt the unit by lifting it slightly upwards from the front until no more condensate comes out from the drain outlet.
