The air conditioner must always be stored and transported upright. In case of doubt we suggest you wait for at least 24 hours before operation. (Please keep unit upright at all times)

Make sure drain plugs (upper drain plug (6) and lower drain plug (11)) are fitted before use.

Press the POWER button to turn the unit “ON” or “OFF”.

The portable air conditioner is fitted with a compressor delay protection circuit. This protects the unit from possible damage due to rapid starting and stopping of its compressor. Compressor operation begins 3 minutes after the unit is switched on or the mode is switched from dehumidify to air conditioning.

Press the FUNCTION button to select cooling, heating or dehumidification.

When the heating or dehumidification functions are used the upper drain plug (6) must be removed and a drain hose must be attached.

Press the TEMP+ button. In cooling function, this button raises the set temperature by 1°C each time it is pressed to a maximum of 30°C. In heating function, this button raises the set temperature by 1°C each time it is pressed to a maximum of 25°C.

The time taken to reach the desired set temperature will depend on the environment and the size of the space in which the unit is operating in. For example, if the ambient temperature is too hot or the room is too large, the rate at which the temperature descends will be slow as the cooling may be less effective.

Press the TEMP- button. In cooling function, this button lowers the set temperature by 1°C each time it is pressed, to a minimum of 17°C. In heating function, this button lowers the set temperature by 1°C each time it is pressed to a minimum of 15°C.

The display indicates the current, the set temperature or the timer setting. When the timer or temperature is adjusted, the new setting is shown then the display returns to the current set temperature.

The display is also used to show error codes should a fault occur, see ERROR CODES section.

Press the SPEED button to select LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH or AUTO fan speed.

If AUTO fan speed is selected, the unit operates at maximum capacity and high fan speed while the room temperature is more than 2°C from the set temperature. When the room temperature is within 2°C of the set temperature, the unit operates at medium capacity and fan speed. Once the room temperature equals the set temperature, the unit will operate at minimum capacity and low fan speed to efficiently maintain the desired temperature.

When HIGH, MEDIUM or LOW speed is selected, the unit operates at maximum capacity until the set temperature is reached. The fan operates at the selected speed.

The TIMER button is an ON/OFF button for the programmable timer.

To turn the unit on automatically after a set time delay:

1. With the unit OFF, press the “TIMER” button to set the desired time delay before the unit is to start.

2. Choose the function desired (cooling, heating or dehumidification.)

3. Once the set time delay is complete, the unit will turn on automatically.

4. If you press the “POWER” button before the time delay is complete, the delay will be cancelled and the unit will turn on immediately.

To turn the unit off automatically after a set time period:

1. With the unit ON, press the “TIMER” button to set the desired time for the unit to remain on.

2. Once the set time period is complete, the unit will turn off automatically.

3. If you press the “POWER” button before the time delay is complete, the delay will be cancelled and the unit will turn off immediately.

Press the SLEEP button to select the sleep comfort mode.

When the unit is cooling and sleep mode is selected, the unit will raise the set temperature 1°C each hour to a maximum of 2°C over two hours.

When the unit is heating and sleep mode is selected, the unit will lower the set temperature 1°C each hour to a maximum of 2°C over two hours.

These temperatures will be maintained for the balance of the time set and help maximize sleep comfort.

When setting the “sleep comfort” mode, please ensure that you set the number of hours required by using the TIMER function. The hours set will be shown on the display by pressing either the TEMP+ or TEMP- buttons.

1. Remove the exhaust tube from its storage under the rear air outlet. Replace the rear air outlet.

2. Install the exhaust tube by rotating it clockwise onto the rear air outlet. Please ensure it is fully inserted before use.

Install the portable air conditioner in a flat location with adequate space to ensure the air inlets and outlets will not be blocked.

Keep a minimum clearance of 50cm from walls and other objects. Locate the unit to allow the exhaust pipe and drain hose to reach a suitable window, as shown in the manual illustrations.

Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the exhaust pipe.

The optional adjustable window slider is included to ensure the exhaust pipe is held in place (in the window) and prevents expelled hot air re-entering the room.

The appliance should not be used in damp areas such as a laundry or bathroom.

Do not place the unit where it will be in direct sunlight as it may overheat and turn off.

The adjustable window slider kit is installed as shown in the manual illustrations. The window slider kit has a minimum length of 55cm and a maximum length of 100cm. Ensure a clearance of more than 500mm around the unit.

When the heating or dehumidification functions are used the upper drain plug (6) must be removed and a drain hose must be attached.

When using the heating function, move the rear air outlet with the exhaust tube to the front of the unit as shown in the manual illustrations (Fig.01, Fig.02, Fig.03).

The outlet exhaust must still be attached to the window when using the heating function.

Return the outlet and tube to the rear of the unit for cooling or dehumidification.

When the air conditioner is used, excess water condensation may be produced that cannot be removed via the exhaust hose. This water is captured by an internal container. When this container is full, the unit will stop working and display the E4 error code.

When the error code E4 is displayed the water collected in the internal container must be manually drained:

1. Switch off and unplug the unit.

2. Move the unit to a suitable place to drain the water. Consider placing a tray or suitable container under the outlet pipe to catch the drained water.

3. Remove the lower drain plug (11), refer to parts illustration.

4. Slightly tilt the unit to the rear to drain the water.

5. Replace the drain plug.

Make sure the drain plug is re-fitted to the drain outlet before use.

Extend the exhaust to the window before the unit is restarted.

WARNING: ALWAYS UNPLUG THE UNIT BEFORE MOVING OR CLEANING.

The air filters located on the rear of the unit can be removed simply by pulling the filter frame slightly out and then across to the side.

Wipe with a damp cloth and polish with a soft cloth.

1. Only plug the unit into a suitable 220-240V~50Hz AC 10 AMP power supply.

2. Hold the plug when unplugging the unit, never pull on the cord.

3. Do not place the unit in direct sunlight. This can fade the plastic case.

4. Do not operate the unit in a confined space.

5. Do not place objects on top of the unit. This blocks the air outlet.

6. Do not place the unit where the air inlets or outlets may be blocked by curtains or furniture.

7. Keep the filters clean.

This unit is fitted with an overheat prevention device. If the unit overheats it will automatically turn off. The unit can be restarted after 30 minutes.
