• Always remove the mains plug before carrying out maintenance.

• If the electrical socket is different from the plug, have a professi- onally qualified electrician replace the socket with a suitable one. Avoid the use of adapter plugs, multiple sockets and / or exten- sion leads. If their use is necessary, ensure they conform to cur- rent safety regulation.

• Do not pull the supply cable or place it near a source of heat: always unroll it completely to avoid dangerous overheating.

• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the service agent or a similarly qualified person, in order to avoid a hazard.

• Never use the unit without the filter.

• Especially, younger, elder and disabled people are often not aware of the danger that might occur from the usage of electri- cal appliances. Therefore, the product should never be used wit- hout supervision. ATTENTION!

The manufacturer/distributor disclaims any responsibility, if the above instructions are not followed.

• Please use the unit in the recommended room size. (Please refer to the Specifications).

• Do not locate air conditioner where furniture or other objects can obstruct the air flow.

• Keep blinds/curtains closed during the sunniest part of the day.

• Close the fireplace damper, floor and/or wall registers, so cool air does not escape through the chimney or duct work.

• Keep the filters clean.

• Set the unit to maximum cooling and high speed ventilation for the initial startup, then adjust the unit to a comfortable setting. D INSTALLATION Mounting of the unit This unit is a PORTABLE AIR CONDITIONER. It can be moved from room to room, so, the cooling can follow you anywhere. The mounting is easy, beneath a window or wall. Please refer to either of the following ways:

• Using the foam strips Connect the supplied foam strips with the exhaust pipe, let the hot air flow to the outside. Should the foam strip(s) be too large, cut off the extra part to fit the window.

Never close the room completely. Avoid under pressure in the room; this disturbs exhaust flow from geyser, (kitchen exhausters and/or oven).• Using the round window connectors Dig a hole (diameter > 112mm) on the wall/glass to fit the supplied round window connector. Take off the adaptor (the one which does not connect with the unit), fit the hose directly to the round window connector. When the hole is not in use. Use the cap for the round window connector to cover the hole. Mounting of the exhaust pipe The supplied exhaust hose can be extended from 300 to 1500 mm for mounting. It is recommended that you use the hose in the shortest possible length. Take care to prevent any bow or bend in the middle of the exhaust hose, as this will trap hot exhaust air, which will radiate into the room and cause this unit to shut itself off due to overheating. WARNING!

The length of the exhaust pipe is specially designed according to the specification of this product. Do not replace or prolong it with your own private hose as this could cause the unit to mal-function.

F DRAINAGE During the process of cooling, some water will be extracted from the air into the unit. If the reservoir is full, the compressor will stop, only the fan to circulate the air. The ‘”FULL WATER” indicator will light now to remind you. To make the cooling work again, please empty the water by one of the following ways: By water tray Turn off the unit.

1. To prolong the compressor's life, after switch-off of the unit, please wait for 3 minutes

(at least) before re-switch.

2. The cooling system will switch off if the ambient temperature is lower than the set one.

The ventilation, however, keeps working on the set level. If the ambient temperature rises above the selected level, the cooling will return to work.

3. On the contrary, the heating will switch off if the ambient temperature is higher than the

set one (still, the ventilation keeps working on the set level). As the ambient temperature drops below the selected level, the heating will return to work.

4. This machine is equipped with ANTI-FROST function. While using the heating function

during low temperature, sometimes the heating will stop for a while in order to melt the frost. As this occurs, just wait for the heating returns to work.
