• 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 dehumidificatioin mode. If not, 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 a 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 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.

SAFETY INSTRUCTION
2.1 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 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 operate the unit to fan mode from 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 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 temperature. 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 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 authorises their competence to handle refrigerants safely in accordance with an industry recognised 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
  To prevent injury to the user or other people and property damage, the following instructions must be followed.
  Incorrect operation due to ignoring instructions may cause harm or damage. The seriousness is classified by the following indications:carried out under the supervision of the person competent in the use of flammable refrigerants.

• The working temperature range of the air conditioner is 16-35 F)  under cooling mode; 5-27 oC (60-95  o F) under heating mode. o C (41-80 o

7.4 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 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 garden 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 continous 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 bottom drain outlet, then pull out the drain cap to allow the condensate to flow into the drip tray.

CARE & CLEANING

Clean your air conditioner occasionally to keep it looking new. Be sure to unplug the unit before cleaning to prevent shock or fire hazards.
8.1 Cleaning the unit
The cabinet and front may be dusted with an oil-free cloth or washed with a cloth dampened in a solution of warm water and mild liquid dishwashing detergent.
Never use harsh cleaners, wax or polish on the cabinet front.
Be sure to wring excess water from the cloth before wiping around the controls. Excess water in or around the controls may cause damage to the air conditioner.
8.2 Cleaning the filters
To keep your air conditioner working efficiently, you should clean the filters every two weeks of operation.
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.

1. Removed the air filter as shown the below figure. Take out the upper air filter and the lower air filter.

2. Wash the filter using liquid dishwashing detergent and warm water under 40°C. Rinse filter thoroughly. Gently shake excess water from the filter. Be sure filter is
   thoroughly dry before replacing. Or, instead of washing you may vacuum the filter clean.

3. Replace the filter after the filter is dry.
   Be sure filter is thoroughly dry before replacing.

8.3 Winter Storage
If the air conditioner will not be used for an extended period of time:

1. Drain the water collection tank completely and leave the bottom drain cap and rubber plug long time enough to allow any residual water to drain out. Once the tank is completely drained and no more water flows out, reinstall the rubber plug and cap.
2. Remove and clean the filter, allow it to dry completely, then reinstall it.
3. Remove the batteries from the remote control.
4. Store the air conditioner in a cool, dry location, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperature, excessive dust, and well ventilated.

Before using the air conditioner again:

1. Make sure the filter and drain cap are in place.
2. Check the cord to make sure it is in good condition, without cracks or damage.
3. Place new batteries in the remote control.
4.  Install the air conditioner as described in the Installation Instructions.
