Do not locate the air conditioner
where furniture or other objects can
obstruct the air flow.
Keep curtains and blinds closed
during the hottest part of the day.
Keep the filter clean.
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).
Electrical Safety
For indoor use only.
Use only in the upright position on a flat
level surface and at least 50cm from any
objects.
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.
Ensure the appliance has been installed in
acco rdance with nationa l wiring
regulations.
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 (cont)
Caution! before connecting the
electrical power cord to a power outlet,
check that the air conditioner voltage is
the same as your power supply (refer to
the rating label located on the back of the
unit). Ensure the power supply is correctly
earthed and rated.
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.
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.
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 or damp hands or when standing
barefoot.

Step 2:
Installing the exhaust hose to the air
conditioner (Fig 6).
Step 1:
Step 2:
Installing the exhaust hose to the
window (Fig 6).
Step 1:
Step 2
Fit the square exhaust fitting
onto the hose end with the 2 ‘pips’. The
pips will lock into the holes.
Fit the oblong exhaust fitting
onto the other end of the hose.
Position the square exhaust
fitting above the grooves on the exhaust
air outlet, with the open end facing down.
Push the hose fitting down into
the outlet until it is completely covered.
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 wing nut. Ensure the outlet
is not obscured. The window attachment
can be installed horizontally or vertically,
depending on the window type.
Note!
Note!
The minimum distance required
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.
It is critical to the cooler’s
performance that the hot exhaust air
is completely removed from the space
being cooled.

If there are two of the same air
conditioners installed, they cannot be
controlled separately. When you operate
either remote, it will turn on both air
conditioners if 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
corrosion.
Care of your remote control
Preparation before operation
During Operation
Remove the battery cover and insert new
batteries

If there is no display, or only part display,
remove the batteries and replace with new
ones. If this does not solve the problem
contact your nearest service centre for
advice.

Press the MODE button on the
control panel or MODE button on the
remote control to select the desired
operating mode (Fig. 11):
Press / on the control panel
or on the remote control to select the
desired temperature.
Do not set the cooling temperature too
low. This will consume more power. 24°C is
the recommended set temperature, with
high fan speed.
Changing the set temperature will
have no effect in FAN or DRY modes.
Press the SPEED button on the
control panel or the remote control to adjust
the fan speed. Each press will cycle the fan
speed as below:
Low speed
Medium speed
High speed
In Dry mode, the fan will always be
set to low speed. In heating and cooling
modes, the fan may automatically change
to high speed to protect the refrigeration
system.
In Cooling mode, the fan will continue
to run even when the compressor has
cycled off.

will sweep from side to side (Fig 12)
operates the vertical vanes - air will
sweep up and down (Fig 13)
Press the buttons again to stop the sweeping
vanes.
The cooler will store the last mode
selected in memory and return to this when
next switched on.
During cooling and heating
mode, water will collect in the air
conditioner’s tank. In cooling mode this
water is recirculated and some will be
exhausted out with the hot air, but will slowly
fill up the tank. This occurs more quickly in
humid conditions. In heating mode there is
no recirculation. If the tank should fill, error
code “E2” will appear on the control panel,
the unit will ‘beep’ 10 times and then shut
down. Refer to the Maintenance section for
draining the tank should this occur.

Draining the Air Conditioner
! Always replace the drain plug
immediately after draining.
To drain the air conditioner, place it over a
drain, or 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 front of the
appliance and allow the tank to completely
drain (Fig 16B).

Note
End of season storage
Always disconnect the air conditioner from the electrical 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
Use a vacuum cleaner or tap the filter lightly to remove loose dust and dirt and then
rinse thoroughly under running water (no hotter than 40°C).
Dry thoroughly before replacing.

MAINTENANCE

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" error code “E2” flashing?
Drain the tank as shown (Fig 16).
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 correctly 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 it to reset.
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.
