Set the air conditioner to maximum

cooling and high fan speed initially,

then adjust to a comfortable setting.

Do not wait until the room is

excessively hot before using the air

conditioner.

INTRODUCTION

General Safety

Transport the air conditioner in an

upright position only, or leave it in an

upright position for at least 2 hours

before use (Fig 1).

Use only in the upright position on a flat

level surface and at least 50cm from any

objects.

Ensure the air conditioner is connected to

a correctly grounded power supply (refer

to the rating label located at the back of the

unit).

Do not place objects on the air conditioner

or restrict air inlets / outlets (Fig 2).

Closely supervise any children and pets

when the air conditioner is in use.

For indoor use only.

Do not store or operate the appliance near

any flammable substances.

During operation, water will collect in the

bottom tank of the air conditioner. Be

careful when moving the unit to prevent

water from spilling.

Electrical Safety

! Check voltage: before

connecting the electrical power cord to

a power outlet, check that the air

conditioner voltage is the same as your

power supply.

Caution

Ensure the appliance has been installed in

ac co rd ance wi th n at ional w ir in g

regulations.

Plug the air conditioner directly into a

properly installed power outlet. Never use

an extension cord, double adaptor or multi

power outlet board to run this air

conditioner.

Switch off and unplug when not in use.

Do not use in humid environments such as

bathrooms or other steamy or wet areas.

Do not touch or operate the air conditioner

with wet/damp hands or when standing

barefoot.

Do not pull the unit along by the power cord

or place the power cord near a source of

heat. Always unroll the power cord

completely before use.

If the power cord is damaged, in order to

avoid a hazard, it must be replaced by an

electrician, or similarly qualified person or

service agent.

Installing the exhaust hose to the air

conditioner (Fig 5).

Step 2:

Step 3:

Installing the exhaust hose to the

window (Fig 6).

Step 1:

Step 2

Step 3:

Locate the left hand side of the

exhaust hose slot into position on the

rear of the air conditioner.

Locate the right hand side of the

exhaust hose into position just above the

tabs on the rear of the air conditioner.

Push downwards on the top of

the right hand corner of the exhaust hose

connector until it locks into place.

Snap the oblong connector into

position on the window attachment.

: Open the window and fit the

adjustable window attachment. Extend

the attachment as required and lock into

place with the wingnut. Ensure the outlet

is not obscured. The window attachment

can be installed horizontally or vertically,

depending on the window.

Attach the condensate hose to

the air conditioner. Then run it out

through the rubber grommet in the

window attachment as shown (Fig 6).

50cm

Note! The minimum distance from the

operating air conditioner to any

obstructing objects or walls is 50cm

(Fig 6).

Keep the exhaust hose as short and

straight as possible and minimise

kinks. This will maximise the cooling

performance.

Don’t use extension pieces for the

exhaust pipe as this will reduce the

cooling performance.

Hot air and possibly mist will be

emitted from the exhaust hose.

Do not have the condensate hose any

higher than 1.5 metres above the

c o n n e c t i o n p o i n t a t t h e a i r

conditioner.

Keep the exhaust hose as straight as

possible and minimise kinks.

will “beep” when a signal has been received.

If there is no beep, press the remote button

again, ensuring it is within range (6 metres) of

the air conditioner.

they are both within signal range (6 metres).

Don’t let the remote control drop onto hard

surfaces or be subjected to sudden shocks

in any way. The warranty does not cover

misuse or accidental damage.

Don’t place the remote control in direct

sunlight, or near extremes of temperature.

This will affect the control’s temperature

reading.

Don’t allow the remote control to get wet.

Don’t place near strong electromagnetic

waves.

Don’t mix old and new batteries ! If the

remote control will not be used for a long

time, remove the batteries to avoid

MAINTENANCE

Draining the Air Conditioner

! Always replace the plug

immediately after draining.

To drain the air conditioner, place it over

a drain or put a container under the drain

point before removing the drain plug, as

the water will flow out as soon as the plug

is removed.

Remove the plug at the bottom rear of

the appliance and allow the tank to

completely drain (Fig 17B) .

Note

End of season storage:

Always disconnect the air conditioner from the electricity mains

before cleaning or draining.

To maximize the efficiency of the air conditioner, clean regularly.

Cleaning the housing

Cleaning the filter

Note! Never operate the air conditioner without the filter.

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the body clean.

Never use aggressive chemicals, spirits, detergents, chemically

treated cloths or other cleansing solutions. These substances could

possibly damage the cabinet

Remove the filter as shown (Fig 17A).

Use a vacuum cleaner or tap the filter lightly to remove loose dust

and dirt from the filter and then rinse thoroughly under running water

(no hotter than 40°C).

Dry thoroughly before replacing.

Drain any water in the unit.

Operate the unit in ventilation only mode for a few hours, to

thoroughly dry the inside.

Clean or change the filter.

Unplug and carefully store the power cord and plug end .

Replace in the original carton or cover for storage.·

TROUBLESHOOTING

Never try to dismantle the air conditioner yourself.

Problem Check

The air conditioner does

not run.

Is the air conditioner plugged in ?

Is there a power failure ?

Is the "WATER FULL" indicator flashing ? Drain the

tank as shown (Fig 17).

Is the room temperature below the set temperature ?

The air conditioner has little

effect (firstly ensure that the

room being cooled is not too

large for the stated capacity

of the air conditioner).

Is there direct sunshine? Remember to close

curtains or blinds.

Are windows or doors open ?

More people in the room will generate more heat.

Is there something in the room producing excessive

heat ?

Is the exhaust fitted incorrectly or obstructed ? All

exhaust air needs to be completely removed from

the room.

The air conditioner is not as

cool as it once was.

Is the filter dusty or dirty, restricting the airflow ?

Is the air inlet or outlet blocked ?

Is the room temperature below the set temperature ?

The air conditioner is too

noisy.

Is the air conditioner positioned unevenly, so as to

create vibration ?

Is the floor beneath the air conditioner uneven ?

It is possible that the overheat protection for the

compressor is on. Wait for the temperature to drop.

Note: when changing between different modes

(cooling to fan or heating mode etc) the compressor

will turn off. A 3 minute delay will occur before the

compressor will turn on again.

The compressor will not run.

In case of problems that cannot be fixed by using the above guide,

or if service on your air conditioner is required, please contact your

dealer or designated service agent.
