INSTALLATION

• Warning: leave this mobile air-conditioner in an upright position for at least 2 hours before first use.
• This air-conditioner may be moved indoor conveniently; leave the air-conditioner in an upright position while moving it. The air-conditioner shall be placed on a flat ground surface. Do not install or operate this air-conditioner in a bathroom or other wet environments.

ASSEMBLY

Heat exhausts hose

• Heat exhausts outer connector (Figure 1A)
• Heat exhaust hose short connector (Figure 2A)
- Heat exhausts outer connector (Figure 1)
• Take out the two pieces of the heat exhaust hose outer connector, these two pieces are the same in structure.
- Hold one piece with each hand, put the joint of one piece toward the other one's groove, and press them to make them snap tightly (Figure 1A).
• Take out the heat exhaust hose both connectors, screw both connectors into the heat exhaust hose (Figure 1 + 2A).

Installation of the C shape buckle of the heat exhaust hose

Place the rotatory hole of the C shape buckle over the rotation shaft on the back of the unit (as shown in Figure 3).

Installation of the heat exhaust hose

• Lift up the C shape buckle with one hand and place with your other hand the short connector of the heat exhaust hose in de recess on the back of the unit. (as shown in Figure 5).
• Lock exhaust hose firmly by pushing the C shape buckle downwards until it clicks. (as shown in Figure 5).

Installation of the window sealing board assembly

• Open the window and mount the window sealing board assembly onto the window, either vertically or horizontally (as shown in Figure 7 and 8).
• Pull apart the parts of the window sealing board assembly, adjust the distance of the assembly so the two ends of the assembly will come into contact with the window frame, fasten the parts of the assembly with copper screws.

Installation of the unit

• Make sure the unit is placed with at least 50cm away between the walls or other objects. (As shown in Figure 9).
• Snap the flat end of the heat exhaust hose into the elliptical hole of the window sealing board assembly (as shown in Figure 10 and 11).

Important notes

• The exhaust hose is 280mm-1500mm long and this length is determined based on the specification of the air-conditioner (s). Do not use prolonged hose or replace with other different hoses as this may affect the functions of the air-conditioner. The exhaust must be smooth and the air-conditioner may overheat if the exhaust is obstructed.
• The heat exhaust hose may not be bent and shall be free from significant (greater than 45^ ) flexure, the heat exhaust hose shall be ventilated properly.

WATER DRAINAGE

Manual(Figure 12)

• Once the unit shuts down upon full water, turn off the unit and unplug the power plug.
• Put a tray for the water below the water outlet at the back of the unit.
• Screw off the drain cap, unplug the water plug and water will flow out.
• Tilt the unit slightly backward when draining.
• If the water tray is full before the unit is empty block the water outlet with the water plug as soon as possible to prevent the water from flowing onto the ground or carpet.
• Once the water is fully drained, insert the water plug and screw on the water cap tightly.
• Turn on the unit only after the water plug and drain cap are installed properly; otherwise, the condensate of the unit will flow onto the ground or carpet.

Continuous drain (Figure 13 + 14)

1. Screw off the water cap insert a 13mm PVC drain hose 8mm-10mm into the water outlet.
2. Connect the drain hose to the toilet or outdoor.
3. When operating in the heating mode, adopt continuous drain; otherwise, the unit may shut down due to full water.
4. Put the drain hose in an inaccessible place at a height not above the water outlet and keep the drain hose free from flexure.

Maintenance and Servicing

Prior to maintenance and servicing of the unit, turn off the power and unplug the plug.

• Clean the surface of the unit with wet soft cloth. Do not use chemical solvents such as alcohol and gasoline; otherwise, the surface of the air-conditioner may be damaged.
• Clean the filters once every two weeks. If the filter frame and filter are clogged with dust, the function of the air-conditioner may decrease
• Take out the filter frame gently in the direction shown by the arrow (as shown in Figure 15 + 16).
• Put the filters into warm water (about 40^ ) to which neutral cleaner is added for cleaning and then dry them in the shade.
• Make sure the filters are completely dry before placing them back in the unit.
