ATTENTION!

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

Energy save tips

• 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.

NOTE!

Never close the room completely. Avoid under pressure in the room; this disturbs exhaust flow from geyser, (kitchen exhausters and/or oven).

• 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

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

• Using the round window connectors

1 Dig a hole (diameter >112mm ) on the wall/glass to fit the supplied round window connector.
2 Take off the adaptor one which does not connect with the unit), fit the hose directly to the round window connector.
3 When the hole is not in use. Use the cap for the round window connector to cover the hole.

Mounting of the exhaust pipe

1 The supplied exhaust hose can be extended from 300 to 1500mm for mounting. It is recommended that you use the hose in the shortest possible length.
2 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.
