1. POWER

Press the POWER button to turn the unit "ON" or "OFF".

※ The portable air conditioner is fitted with a compressor delay protection circuit. This protects the unit from possible damage due to rapid starting and stopping of its compressor. Compressor operation begins 3 minutes after the unit is switched on or the mode is switched from dehumidify to air conditioning.

2. FUNCTION

Press this key to select cooling, heating, dehumidifying or humidifying.

※ Humidifier:

1. The unit will stop automatically after four hours of operation. Put water into the water filler (10) to restart operation.
2. The unit will stop humidifying if the ambient humidity is equal to the pre-set humidity.

3. (TEMP+)

In cooling mode, this button raises the set temperature by 1^ C each time it is pressed to a maximum of 30^ C. In heating mode, this button raises the set temperature by 1^ C each time it is pressed to a maximum of 25^ C.

4. (TEMP-)

In cooling mode, this button lowers the set temperature by 1^ C each time it is pressed, to a minimum of 17^ C. In heating function, this button lowers the set temperature by 1^ C each time it is pressed to a minimum of 15^ C.

※ The time taken to reach the desired set temperature will depend on the environment and the size of the space in which the unit is operating in. For example, if the ambient temperature is too hot or the room is too large, the rate at which the temperature descends will be slow as the cooling may be less effective.

5. DISPLAY

The display indicates the current set temperature or the timer setting. When the timer or temperature is adjusted, the new setting is shown before the display returns to the current set temperature.

※ The display is also used to show error codes should a fault occur, see ERROR CODES.

6. SPEED

Press SPEED to select TURBO, HIGH, LOW or AUTO fan speed. If AUTO fan speed is selected, the unit operates at maximum capacity and turbo fan speed while the room temperature is more than 2^ C from the set temperature. When the room temperature is within 2^ C of the set temperature, the unit operates at HIGH fan speed. Once the room temperature equals the set temperature, the unit will operate at minimum capacity and low fan speed to efficiently maintain the desired temperature. When TURBO, HIGH or LOW speed is selected, the unit operates at maximum capacity until the set temperature

is reached. The fan operates at the selected speed.

1. TIMER ON/OFF button for the programmable timer.

The timer can be used to turn the unit on automatically after a set time delay is complete.

1. With the unit OFF, press the "TIMER" button to set the desired time delay before you wish the unit to start.
2. Choose the function desired (cooling, dehumidifier, heating or humidifier.)
3. Once the set time delay is complete, the unit will turn on automatically.
4. If you press the "POWER" button before the time delay is complete, the delay will be cancelled and the unit will turn on immediately.

The timer can be used to turn the unit off automatically after a set time period is complete.

1. With the unit ON, press the "TIMER" button to set the desired time for the unit to remain on.
2. Once the set time period is complete, the unit will turn off automatically.

3. If you press the "POWER" button before the time delay is complete, the delay will be cancelled and the unit will turn off immediately.

4. SLEEP Press the SLEEP button to select the sleep comfort mode.

When the unit is cooling and sleep mode is selected, the unit will raise the set temperature 1^ C each hour to a maximum of 2^ C over two hours.

When the unit is heating and sleep mode is selected, the unit will lower the set temperature 1^ C each hour to a maximum of 2^ C over two hours.

These temperatures will be maintained for the balance of the time set and help maximize sleep comfort.

When setting the "sleep comfort" mode, please ensure that you

set the number of hours required by using the TIMER function. The hours set will be shown on the display by pressing either the TEMP+ or TEMP- buttons.

Locating the unit.

Install the portable air conditioner in a flat location with adequate space to ensure the air inlets and outlets will not be blocked.

Keep a minimum clearance of 50cm from walls and other objects. Position the unit to allow the exhaust hose to reach a suitable window, as shown.

Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the exhaust hose.

The optional adjustable window slider is included to ensure the exhaust hose is held in place (in the window) and prevents expelled hot air re-entering the room.

The appliance should not be used in damp areas such as a laundry or bathroom.

    E --> F["Light bulb inside fan with lid with lid"]

Once complete, ensure the outlet exhaust is attached to the window when using the heating function. Reverse the process for cooling or dehumidification.

HUMIDIFYING

When using the humidifying function, remove the exhaust hose and fix the outlet grille on the unit.

1. Fill the water filler and select humidifier function.
2. The unit will stop automatically after four hours of operation. Put water into the water filler to restart operation.
3. The unit will stop humidifying if the ambient humidity is equal to the pre-set humidity.

WATER DRAIN (Error code E4)

When the air conditioner is used, excess water condensation may be produced that will fill the water tank. When the water tank is full, the unit will stop working and display an E4 error code.

This means the unit will need to be drained as follows:

1. Switch off and unplug the unit.
2. Remove the water tank and pour out the water.
3. Put the water tank back to original position.
4. Restart the unit.

CONTINUOUS DRAINAGE

To continually drain the unit in dehumidifying mode, follow below steps:

1. Switch off and unplug the unit.
2. Remove the water tank and pour out the water.
3. Remove drain plug (Fig.1)
4. Plug draining tube to draining hole (Fig.2)

5. Put the water tank back to original position.

6. Draining tube should be placed lower than the draining hole to allow the water to flow out effectively.
