4 Setup
Important: To ensure safety, read section one “1 For your safety!” first.
1. Placing the unit
Make sure that the unit is placed so that there is nothing blocking the front side filter, the cool air duct or the hot air
Page 9
8
exhaust duct. There is only an air inlet on the front side, and the only air outlets are on the top, so the unit can be placed with the other sides directly against a wall, in a corner or in any other confined space.
Note: Do not use the unit in places containing hydrochloric acid, sulphuric acid or any other corroding gas or steam.
** There is risk of gas leak or deterioration of performance.
2. Attaching the cool air duct
(1) Attaching the duct elbow
I. Insert the duct elbow into the elbow holder, fitting the attachment notch to the black mark on the inside of the holder. II. After you have inserted the duct elbow into the holder, fasten it so does not come loose by turning it to either side.
(2)Attaching the cold air duct
① Insert the cold air duct into the duct elbow, fitting the attachment peg on the duct to the attachment notch in
the elbow, then turn it to the right.
② Point the duct in the direction you want the air to blow in, fixing the duct elbow with your other hand.
Note: Make sure that the duct elbow is correctly inserted into the holder. If the duct elbow is not attached
evenly, reattach it correctly.
(3)Removing the duct elbow
① Remove the cool air duct from the elbow.
② Turn the elbow until the attachment notch is aligned with the insertion mark. ③ Remove the duct elbow by pulling it straight up from the holder.
● Adjusting the firmness of the cold air duct
If the cold air duct is too loose, it will just droop down, not maintaining the desired direction of the cool airflow. If this is the case, tighten the duct in the following manner.
① Grab both ends of the duct and stretch it until it is
fully extended.
② Make the duct tighter by twisting the right end of the
Duct one or two times, fixing the left end of the duct with your other hand. Now the duct should maintain any shape desired by the user.
Page 10

Note: ① If something is dropped into the exhaust air vent, do not use a stick or similar object to try to
retrieve it. You may damage internal parts and cause malfunction.
② Do not block the exhaust air vent in any way. This will obstruct the function of the unit and cause
malfunction.
(Optional)Cool air duct extension
The cool air duct extension (Ø 125mm, length 5m) can be used when the unit can not be placed close to the workplace where it is needed.
● Cutting the cool air duct extension
Cut the cool air duct extension according to required length in the following way. ① Make a hole in the duct extension where you want ② Cut the duct extension all the way around
to cut it with a flat screwdriver or similar tool. using scissors or a side cutter.
● Changing the diameter
You can reduce the diameter of the cool air duct by twisting it to the left, thereby increasing the air flow velocity.
Note Be careful not to make the duct extension too narrow. This could cause deterioration of performance
and malfunction.
Note: Do not use the swivel function when the duct extension is attached.
** This will damage the swivel device.

3. Connecting to a power source
Note Do not connect any other electrical appliance to the same power source that the unit is connected to.
(1)Electrical wiring
Make sure that no other electrical appliance is connected do the same power source as the unit.
(2)The circuit breaker
Use a suitable circuit breaker for the items as instructed.
(3)Connecting the unit to a power source
Insert the plug into the power source.
4. Trial operation
Turn on the power switch, the airflow adjustment switch and the swivel switch to make sure that everything works properly.
① The properties of all the switches are explained further in the next section “How to use”. ② If the unit does not work properly, please consult page 12 “Trouble shooting” for further guidance.
5 How to use
Important: To ensure safety, read section one “ 1 For your safety!“ first.
1. Adjusting the direction of airflow
The cool air duct can be adjusted, so please operate the unit after having pointed it in the desired direction.
2. The drain tank
(1)The drain tank collects the condensed water Part of the condensed water that appears in the upper cold part of the heat exchanger on the front of the unit vaporizes when it passes through the warm lower part on the way down to the drain tank. In certain environments almost all water will vaporize, leaving nothing for the drain tank. This does not mean that the unit is not working.
Note: ①The amount of condensed water that gathers in the drain tank varies depending on the temperature and humidity of the environment where the unit is used, as well as how clean or dirty the heat exchanger is. The amount of condensed water increases remarkably during rainy seasons and other times with high humidity, so be extra attentive at these times. ② When the drain tank becomes full the water will start spilling out on the floor, so check the amount of water in the drain tank frequently and empty it before it gets full. ③ Since the condensed water in the drain tank will spill when the unit is moved, be sure to empty the tank first.
Page 12
11
(2)Draining the condensed water with a hose
You can drain the condensed water directly to a drain or other desired place by attaching a hose onto the drain pipe. The inside diameter of the hose should be 16mm.
① Remove the drain tank. ② Attach the hose to the drain pipe, located on the upper left side of the drain tank compartment. ③ Place the other end of the hose in a drain or other suitable place.
6 Safety devices
The compressor overload relay
① The overload relay protects the compressor from over currents and overheating engine. ② The compressor overload relay is automatic. If the overload relay starts to work frequently (and the unit stops working), please take steps to eliminate the cause of the problem. If the cause is left unfixed, the unit can break down or malfunction. Please consult “Trouble shooting“ on page 13 for more information.
7 Maintenance and storage
Important: To ensure safety, read section one “1 For your safety!” first.
1. Cleaning the filter
① Remove the filter by pulling it straight up. ② Clean off the dust from the filter with a vacuum cleaner. ③ If the filter is dirty, it should be cleaned with water. ④ Reinstall the filter into the unit after it has dried completely.
2. External maintenance
Wipe the ducts and other external parts clean with a dry piece of cloth, or a cloth with diluted neutral detergent.
Note Be very careful if you use thinner, benzene,
chemicals or polishing powder or similar substances when cleaning the unit. You can easily damage the coating Or cause malfunction.
3. Before storing the unit
① Clean the filter and the exterior of the unit. ② Empty the drain tank and let it dry completely. ③ Turn on “Ventilation” for approximately one hour to let the internal parts dry completely. ④ Cover the unit with a suitable cover to prevent dust from gathering. ⑤ Store all the parts in a secure place so that nothing gets lost or damaged. ⑥ Clean the electric cord before storing it.
* Regarding cleaning of the heat exchanger, the sirocco fan and other internal parts, please consult with your local dealer. If you clean the internal parts before storage, the unit can be used immediately afterwards.
Page 13
12
Note: Store the unit in a vertical standing position. Do not store it lying down.
** If the unit is stored lying down, the compressor or other parts can break down or malfunction.
