CARE & MAINTENANCE
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
It is recommended that after each cooling season the panels and display of the appliance are cleaned with a soft damp cloth.
Air filters should be checked and cleaned every week periods of heavy use. For intermittent use this can be extended to 2 to 3 weeks.
If storing the appliance for a prolong period remove the plugs and hoses from the drain outlets (7), (8) and (12).

ALWAYS turn off the power before you perform any maintenance.
DO NOT use solvents, alcohol or harsh cleaners on this appliance or the filters.
NEVER use water that is hotter than 40^ C when you clean the filters. It may cause deformation or discolouration.

CLEANING THE AIR FILTER
There are two air filters in this appliance, there is one filter each fitted to the inside of the Room Air Intake Grill (9), and the Lower Air Intake (10).
Before removing the grills, ensure the power cord is disconnected from the power supply.
- Remove the grills:
To remove the Room Air Intake Grill (9) pull down on the top tab and un-clip the grill.
To remove the Lower Air Intake Grill (10) use a Philips head screw driver to remove the securing screw and un-clip the grill.
-
Un-clip the filters from each of the grills. Clean the filters with a vacuum cleaner or with warm water. If dirt is difficult to remove, wash the filter in lukewarm water with a mild detergent.
-
Ensuring that the filters are dry before replacing, then clip the filters back into the grill covers.
-
Re-attach the grills:
To re-attach the Room Air Intake Grill (9) ensure that all the tabs are properly seated and that the grill is securely clipped back into place.
To re-attach the Lower Air Intake Grill (10) ensure that all the tabs are properly seated and that the grill is securely clipped back into place and that the securing screw is replaced.
The power may now be reconnected.

Failure to clean the filters regularly can cause excessive condensation to form and reduce the appliances efficiency.
If you need replacement filters, please contact Rinnai.

LOCATION
This portable air conditioner must be installed on a flat and dry surface. A minimum clearance of 500mm from other appliances is required as well as easy a power point (GPO).
The air outlets and the ducting system must not be obstructed.


The appliance is fitted with a 1.2m flexible 2 pin cord 220-240V 50Hz 10A.
The maximum duct extension is 1.8m in total.
Both factors are to be taken into account when determining the location that the appliance will be operated in.
DUCT ASSEMBLY

- Place the Duct to Unit Adaptor (17) over the Exhaust Outlet (5), push it downwards to ensure it engages the Exhaust Outlet tabs.
- Screw one end of the Exhaust Duct (16) into the Duct to Unit Adaptor (17).
- On the other end of the Exhaust Duct (16) fix either the Window Exhaust Duct Adaptor (15) or the Wall Exhaust Adaptor (18).
EXHAUST DUCTING OPTIONS
There are two ducting options available for this appliance, these are a Window installation or an optional Semi-permanent wall installation.

DO NOT over extend the exhaust duct.
Over extension of the exhaust duct can lead to kinking.
Kinked ducting causes air flow restrictions and lowers the efficiency of the appliance.
Keeping the exhaust duct as short as possible avoids this issue.

WINDOW INSTALLATIONS
The window kit has been designed to fit most standard vertical and horizontal window applications. There may be some cases where you may need to modify some aspects of this installation procedure for certain window types.
Minimum and maximum horizontal / vertical window opening dimensions:

- Once a suitable window has been chosen, fit the Adjustable Slider Kit (14) into the window areas and fix the length of the kit using the supplied slide lock nut and bolt.


It is recommended to place a length of foam draft sealing strip along the top and bottom edges of the kit or the inside the window opening to form a seal.
- Connect the Window Exhaust Duct Adaptor (15) to the Adjustable Slider Kit (14).
SEMI-PERMANENT WALL INSTALLATION
In some cases a window opening might not be assessable; therefore this appliance is supplied with semi-permanent wall flange kit that can be connected the Exhaust Duct.

The positioning and installation of the wall flange should be completed by an authorised person and must comply with all municipal building codes and OH&S guidelines.
CONDENSATE DRAINAGE

Condensate produced by this appliance is NOT potable, dispose of via waste outlet or allow to evaporate.
INTERNAL CONDENSATE TANK
During operation the appliance may produce small amount condensate. The appliance has an inbuilt condensate tank. If all three drain outlets (7), (8) and (12) are plugged, then this capacity. If this happens, the appliance will stop operation condensate full code "P1" will be shown on the control and the condensate tank will need to be drained before operation can be resumed. To do this:
- Place shallow tray such as an oven baking tray or similar (with at least a 1 litre volume) under Drain Tray Outlet (12).
- Remove the plug from Drain Tray Outlet (12) and drain out the condensate water, once the condensate is drained plug, the appliance will now be able to then resume operation.

FIXED CONDENSATE DRAINAGE HOSE
As an alternative to using the appliances internal condensate tank, a condensate drain hose (20) may be fitted.


Option 1 - External Drain Tray: with drain outlets (8) and (12) plugged, fit the condensate drain hose (20) to drain outlet (7) and drain the condensate into a drain tray.
Option 2 - Existing Waste Outlet: with drain outlets (7) and (8) plugged, fit the condensate drain hose (20) to drain outlet (12) and drain the condensate into a drain tray or waste outlet.

The point to which the condensate is to be drained MUST BE lower than the drainage outlet point. When using a drain tray option, ensure that the capacity of the tray is greater than that of the condensate being produced.
