THANK YOU for choosing a Convair

Air Conditioner. This appliance has

been carefully engineered to bring

you trouble-free personal air

conditioning. Please read this

manual carefully so that you take

full advantage of the many benefits

your Convair provides.

This appliance is not intended for use

by persons (including children) with

reduced physical, sensory or mental

capabilities, or lack of experience and

knowledge, unless they have been

given supervision or instruction in

using the appliance by a person

responsible for their safety.

Children should be supervised to

ensure that they do not play with the

appliance. Do not place anything

through the ventilating slots.

Your Convair cooler is a portable air

conditioning unit that supplies

refrigerated air to a personal area

within a room. It is not intended to

function as a house or room air

conditioner.

Be sure the appliance has been

securely and correctly installed

ac cor di ng to the ins ta l la ti on

instructions contained within this

manual.

Personal Cooling

Energy Saving Tips

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!

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.

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.

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.
