Introduction

This Reverse Cycle Inverter Split System Air Conditioner is designed to create comfortable climatic conditions in any room of your home. It consists of an indoor unit that must be wall-mounted in the room you want to heat or cool, and an outdoor unit that can be installed on the ground or on an outside wall on suitable brackets.

Modes of operation

You can set the air conditioner to cool, heat or dehumidify the air, or let the unit adjust the room temperature automatically to ensure comfortable conditions all year round. These modes are described in detail in the “Instructions” section of this manual.

Getting Started (Cont.)

How it works

• The indoor air, sucked in by the fan, enters the unit through the grille at the front panel and passes through a filter, which collects any dust (Fig. 4).
• The air is then conveyed to the heat exchanger, where it is cooled and dehumidified or heated, depending on your setting. The heat removed from the room is released to the outside.
• At the end of the cycle, the fan releases the conditioned air back into the room.
• The direction of the air outlet is regulated by flaps on the indoor unit, which are motorised up and down. The vertical deflectors, also motorised, direct the airflow right and left.

Getting the most out of your air conditioner

• Keep windows and doors shut. Rooms in which the air conditioner is being used should be closed off so the room air is recirculated.
• Locate window/wall units on the south side of the house, if possible. Shade the unit if it is exposed to full sun, but don't restrict airflow over it.
• Set thermostats at 23-26°C for summer cooling. Each degree you lower the thermostat may increase running costs by up to 10%.
• Homes that are insulated require air conditioners with lower heating/ cooling outputs because they can trap the cool/warm air. A fully insulated home will require less power usage from the air conditioner to reach a comfortable room temperature. However, ceiling sweep fans will help move warm/cool air back down to floor level in rooms with very high ceilings.

Getting Started (Cont.)
