Information and advice

Safety first!

Energy Save:

Use the unit in the recommended room size (up to 16m

Locate the unit where furniture cannot obstruct the air flow.

Keep blinds/curtains closed during the sunniest part of the day.

Keep the filters clean.

Keep doors and windows closed to keep cool air in and warm air out.

If the air conditioner is knocked over during use, turn

off the unit and unplug from the mains supply

immediately.

Your air conditioner should be used in such a way

that it is protected from moisture. e.g. condensation,

splashed water, etc. Do not place or store your air

conditioner where it can fall or be pulled into water

or any other liquid. Unplug immediately.

Do not operate your air conditioner in a wet room

such as a bathroom or laundry room.

Do not touch the unit with wet or damp hands or

when barefoot.

Do not press the buttons on the control panel with

anything other than your fingers.

Always transport your air conditioner in a vertical

position and stand on a stable, level surface during

use. Do not allow your air conditioner to sit on top of

the mains lead.

Do not remove any fixed covers. Never use this

appliance if it is not working properly, or if it has

been dropped or damaged.

Never use the plug to start and stop the unit. Always

use the switch on the control panel.

Turn off the product when not in use.

Always contact a qualified person to carry out

repairs. If the supply cord is damaged it must be

repaired by a qualified repairer.

Do not cover or obstruct the inlet or outlet grilles.

Do not use hazardous chemicals to clean or come into

contact with the unit. Do not use the unit in the

presence of inflammable substances or vapour such

as alcohol, insecticides, petrol, etc.

Do not allow children to operate the unit

unsupervised.

Never use the unit without the filter.

Do not use this product for functions other than those

described in this instruction manual.

Keep an air path of at least 50cm all around the unit

from walls, furniture and curtains.

Do not place any objects on top of the air conditioner.

Carlton AC5500v2.qxd 21/03/02 16:22 Page 3

Do not use any other

accessories other than

those supplied.

Always try to use the

exhaust hose at its

shortest length.

Take care not to bow

or bend the middle of

the exhaust hose as this

will trap hot air and

may cause the unit to

shut down.

Information

Attach exhaust hose

1. Screw the rounded ends of

accessory parts 9 onto both

ends of the exhaust hose.

2. Fit the rectangular end of

accessory part 9 to the back of

the unit.

Extracting hot air to the outside

can be achieved by the

following methods:

1. Using foam strips

Open window and fit foam piece

(with gap) to the most favourable

position.

Fit exhaust pipe into gap and fit

part 12 to the other side. This will

keep the exhaust pipe in place.

2. Permanent connection

Make a hole to fit part 10 into

the window/wall and fit part 10

with the flat surface inside the

house. Screw the exhaust pipe

onto part 10. When not in use,

remove the exhaust pipe and fit

the cap.

(Warning: Take care when

cutting the hole, especially

if made into glass - we

recommend this is done by

a professional.)

An alternative is to place hose

out of window with as little open

space as possible. However this

will not be as effective as the

two methods suggested above.

Connecting your air conditioner

This unit is portable and can be moved from room to room.

Draining water

Before removing the water

container, wait a few

minutes to allow the water

to finish draining into the water

container.

Pull the lower front panel

forward.

When the water tank is full it will need to be emptied

During the cooling

process, some water

will be extracted from

the air into the unit.

When the water inside

the unit is full, the fan

will continue to run but

the compressor will

stop and the ‘full water’

indicator will light.

Information

Gently replace the

container and close the

lower front panel.

Note: When the tank is properly

inserted the hole in the container

will be located directly beneath

the drainage spout.

Pull the water tank out,

lifting by the handle and

carry it away for emptying.

Once refitted correctly, the

power light will go off.

Maintenance

Cleaning the housing

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe

the body clean.

Never use aggressive chemicals,

gasoline, detergents, chemically

treated cloths, or other cleansing

solutions. These could all

possibly damage the unit.

Cleaning the filter

This air conditioner features an

advance filtration system. Two filters

in the front clean and deodorise the

air and there is a third filter at the

back designed to keep dirt away

from the warm side of the unit that

discharges outdoors through the

exhaust duct.

At the front there is a replaceable,

activated carbon filter to remove

odours and a washable dust filter to

purify the air. It is recommended to

clean the filters at regular intervals

depending upon how frequently the

unit is used, at least every 3

months.

To do this, first remove the water

tank. Pull down and remove the

filter-housing unit that incorporates

both filters. Push the filter locks on

either side of the filter housing and

remove the filter frame. Take both

filters out of the housing unit. The

dust filter can be washed under

running water but must be dried

before inserting it back into the unit.

The carbon filter cannot be washed

but it can be vacuum cleaned. It is

recommended to replace the

carbon filter every 12 months,

depending on how frequently the

unit is used.(For replacement filters

contact Partmaster Direct, see above.)

At the back of the unit there is a

washable filter. To clean this,

remove the two screws on the sides

of the grill. Remove the grill and

vacuum or wash the filter mesh.

Make sure it is dry before

replacing. This task can be

undertaken about once every 6

months.

End of season storage

Unplug the unit.

Remove, empty and replace the

water tank.

Clean or change the filters.

In a warm place, turn on the unit

in ventilation mode (LOW or

HIGH FAN mode) for a couple

of hours, so the inside can dry

out completely.

It is recommended that the unit

be put back into the original

carton for storage.

(Do not stack heavy objects on

top of the unit.)

Before cleaning, ALWAYS unplug the unit from the mains.

To prolong the

compressor’s life, always

wait for at least 3

minutes after switching

the unit off, before

attempting to switch

back on again.

When your air

conditioner is not in use,

keep the power cord

tidy by wrapping it

around the projection on

the back of the unit.
