INSTALLATION

Setting up the cap to guide air flow

You can install the cap provided should you wish to direct the airflow.

 

Setting up the Air Conditioner.

This unit is a PORTABLE AIR CONDITIONER that can be moved from room to room allowing fresh air to follow you wherever you go. It is easy to mount using either a door or a window.  Please refer to the instructions that follow:

 

 

1.       Using a window

 

Slightly open the window to let the evacuation pipe expel warm air outside.

 

 

Depending on the type of window you have, you can make the unit more efficient by filling the open space in the window with the kit provided. This way, the cooled air stays entirely in the room.

 

2.       Using a door

Slightly open the door in order to let the pipe expel any warm air outside the room.

 

INSTALLATION

 

Installing the evacuation pipe

 

 

 

1-       The evacuation pipe provided extends from 300mm to 1500 mm For maximum efficiency, keep the pipe as short as possible.

2-       Use only the evacuation pipe provided. Attach both it and the adaptor to the back of the air conditioner.

3-       Avoid kinks and bends in the exhaust pipe as this will cause expelled moist air to build up causing the unit to overheat and shut down. (Fig 8 and 9)

 

WARNING!

 

The evacuation pipe provided is designed specially for this appliance. Do not replace it or extend it yourself, as this could cause the unit to malfunction. (Fig10)

When the sensor detects that the room temperature is higher than the one chosen the heater stops running. When the sensor detects that the room temperature is higher than 20°C, the unit works in high fan speed.

 

 

Setting the ventilation speed

1. Press the SPEED button to choose the ventilation speed you need, high, medium or low.

TAKE NOTE!

 

1-      To prolong the compressor life, please wait for at least three minutes after turning off the unit before turning it on again.

2-      The cooling system will switch off if the temperature is lower than the one set. The ventilation, however, will continue to function. If the temperature rises above the one chosen, the cooling function will start again.

 

 

 

DRAINAGE

 

During the cooling process, the appliance will extract an amount of water from the air. If the water reservoir inside the unit is full, both the compressor and motor will stop.  The COMP. indicator will flash .

 

Before the air conditioner will work again, you will need to remove the water from the unit. There are two ways to drain this water:

 

-          Use the provided water tray

-          Use permanent drainage

 

 

 

Use water tray (provided )

 

1-      Turn off the unit. Do not move it.

2-      Position the plastic water tray provided flat on the floor under the water hole.

3-      Remove the drain knob & rubber plug, the water will drain out automatically.

4-      When the water tray is almost full, replace the rubber plug to stop the water and empty the water tray.

5-      Repeat steps 2, 3, and 4 until all water has been drained.

6-      After all water has gone, firmly put the rubber plug back into the drain hole. The “full water” indicator should be off now.

7-      Replace the drain knob.

Continuous Drainage

1-      Remove the drain knob and rubber plug, keep them for future use. (fig22)

2-      Connect drainpipe (fig 23) to the water hole at the back of the unit.

3-      Bring the other end of drainpipe to a drain: The drain must be at or below the level of the unit. The water will drip directly into the drain.

4-     If you want to extend the water tube, you can connect it with another one (OD: 18mm).

5-     The “Comp” indicator will not blink if you drain the unit in this way.
