BEFORE USE

• Place the appliance on a flat stable surface and hold at least 30 cm. free space around it. Make sure the unit is placed in a upright position.
• Let the unit, after transport, wait for more than 4 hours before it is plugged in into the walloutlet. Prevent the cabinet to get wet.
• Make sure the power cable to the power plug is not curled up on the back of the device, it can be too hot. Place the plug always into a grounded outlet.

1. Remove the air filter frame from the unit.
2. Separate the filter holder from the filter frame.
3. Remove the carbon filter from its plastic bag.
4. Insert the carbon filter into the filter frame.
5. Fix the filter by reassembling the fixer onto the filter frame.
6. Re-fit the filter frame inside the unit.

MOUNTING THE EXHAUST ACCESSORIES.

- The air conditioning system cools the air in the room where unit is placed. The absorbed heat of the conditioned air, should be removed to outside the room where the unit is placed.

• During cooling of hot air condenswater will be created. Much of the condensation will be transported with the warm air to outside. At high humidity not all the condense will be transported with the warm air to the outside, the water tank must regularly be emptied.
• In the chapter "Condensate Drain" is this defined step by step.
• There are several ways to transport warm air out of the room:
• Attach the hose in the warm air outlet of the device. Hang the hose out the window or a door. The cooling capacity will not be optimal because of warm outside air will flow into the to cool area.
• Place the window spacer in the open section of the window. Insert the hose into the connection for the hose. The cool capacity is optimal. Provide a maximum distance of 36 cm. the device to the windows or exterior wall.
• Drill a hole of 152 mm. diameter in the outer wall and enter the tubing through the hole. The cool capacity is now optimal. Place the wall cover on the outside of the wall. When the appliance is out of use, the cover can be placed on the hole.

36 cm

• Make sure that the hose is not kinked or that the air flow is obstructed.
• Never extend the hose.

DRAINAGE

• During cooling of hot air, condensation can be created. Much of the condensation will be transported with the warm air outside. At high humidity not all the condense will be transported with the warm air to the outside, the water tank must regularly be emptied.
• If the condensation tank is full, the water full indicator light on the control panel will light and a sound goes off, the machine stops automatically. The condensate tank has a maximum capacity of 1.7 liter.

Tristar Airconditioning

• Turn the knob condensate drain off the spout. Place a container under the spout and pull the rubber plug from the spout. The water flows out, when the bowl is full, insert the plug, empty the sump and drain the rest of the water.
• If the condensation must be removed continuously, place the condensation drain hose on the spout. Do remove the rubber plug. The condensate drain hose can be extended with another hose (not supplied). It can be connected to a drain or be led outside. Make sure this hose does not go up.

- To turn the unit off, press ON/OFF button again.

SETTING MODE/FUNCTION

• Press MODE button to select required working mode: cooling, or fan.
  • Sign of your selected mode comes on.

SETTING TEMPERATURE

• Press 'Temperature up' or 'Temperature down' button to regulate the temperature you desired.
• The display window will show the temperature you set as you press 'Temperature up' or 'Temperature down' button. Otherwise, it will always show the ambient temperature.
• The pre-setting temperature of this machine is: 24^ for cooling.
