PUSH BUTTON SWITCHES & DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTION

1. POWER KEY Press to turn unit "ON" or "OFF".

2. FUNCTION Press this key to select refrigeration, heat or dehumidification.

(Heating function is only available in the following models:

GDC12RCWA / GDC12RCBA /

GDC14RCWA / GDC14RCBA)

3. TEMPERATURE REGULATION KEY (UP)

This key raises the preset temperature by 1℃ each time it is pressed to a maximum of 30℃

4. TEMPERATURE REGULATION KEY (DOWN)

This key lowers the preset temperature by 1℃ each time it is pressed to a minimum of 17℃.

※ In normal conditions, the temperature data which appears on the panel is the ambient

temperature, not the temperature which is set by the user. When the user has adjusted
and set the temperature to desired level, the data on the panel will return to the ambient
temperature 5 seconds later.
The ambient temperature will descend or change according to the temperature which is
set by the user, but the temperature descendant time and speed will depend on the
environment and space where it operates.
For example, if the ambient temperature is too hot or the room is too large, the rate at
which the temperature descends will be slow, and the cooling efficiency will be poor as
well.

5. L.E.D. DISPLAY Indicates the current room temperature or the time setting. If it’s

adjusted by the user the display will return to the pre-set temperature
automatically.

6. SPEED Press to select LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH or AUTO fan speed.

If "AUTO" is selected, the unit operates at maximum cooling
capacity when the room temperature less the setting temperature
is above 2℃.
When the room temperature less the set temperature is below
2℃, the unit operates at middle cooling capacity.
When the room temperature equal the set temperature, the
unit operates at minimum capacity.

If "HIGH" is selected, the unit operates at maximum cooling

capacity regardless of the pre-set temperature. Similar operation is
applied when "MEDIUM" OR “LOW" is manually selected.

7. PROGRAMMABLE Programmable timer ON/OFF key.
TIMER TIMER-ON: The timer-on key is used to turn the unit on

automatically when the set time is reached.

(The indicator light will be turned on when the timer is
functioning.)

1. Press the "TIMER" key at stand-by status to set the time.
Choose the function desired (refrigeration, heat or
dehumidification.)

2. Once the set hour has come to an end, the unit will turn on
automatically.

3. If you press the “POWER” key before the timer is complete, the

set time will be cancelled and the unit will remain turned on.

TIMER-OFF: The timer-off is used to turn the unit off automati-

cally after the set time is over.

8. SLEEP CONTROL When setting the "sleep comfort" mode please ensure that you
FUNCTION then set the number of hours required and press the timer

button till those hours are indicated on the L.E.D display. After
setting the hours the L.E.D. display will automatically return to
the current pre-set temperature. To increase this setting press
the "UP" button and for each press, the temperature will be
increased by 1℃. Likewise to set for a lower temperature, press
the “DOWN” button and for each press, the temperature will be
decreased by 1℃.
During the course of this cycle, to ensure maximum sleep

comfort, the micro-processor memory will raise the pre-set
temperature 0.5℃ each half hour to a maximum of 2℃ over two
hours and then maintain that temperature for the balance of the
time set.
The portable air conditioner is fitted with a 3 minute compressor
delay protection circuit which simply means that the compressor
requires 3 minutes to start. From either being switched on, or
when changing from “dehumidify” to any air conditioning cycle
chosen.

9.”E7” When the unit warns of full water, please unplug the water

stopper at the back of the unit and then lean the unit to drain the
water out. Then the unit can be restarted. If the error: E7 is
presented again, please find a specialized person to repair.

Note: Heating function does not operate if the ambient temperature is over 23

℃.

Cooling function does not operate if the ambient temperature is over

43

INSTALLATION

Install the portable air conditioner in a flat and spacious location where
the air inlets and outlets will not be blocked. A minimum clearance of
40cm from a wall or other obstacles should be kept (as pictured below ).
The appliance should not be used in the laundry.

NOTICE

For Reverse cycle Cooling / Heating models only. (GDC12RCWA /
GDC12RCBA / GDC14RCWA / GDC14RCBA)

This unit can evaporate the condensation and flow out through the
exhaust hose automatically when the unit is in the cooling function.
Contrarily when the unit is in heating function and the water level reaches
the detected level, it will begin to pump for sixty seconds. After sixty
seconds in the pump function, if the water level is still on the detected
level, the unit will stop working and present "E7" warning. Then after
three seconds of revealing error, the unit will rework automatically.
Please make sure the drain plug is fitted to the drain outlet before use
(10), and the exhaust and drain pipe is extended to the closest window
when the unit is running.

MAINTENANCE

PLEASE DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD BEFORE.

AIR FILTER

The air filter located on both sides of the unit can be removed, simply by
pulling the frame in an upward motion.

CONDENSER/EVAPORATOR

Use a brush attachment with a vacuum cleaner.

CABINET

Wipe with a damp cloth and polish with a soft cloth.

To remove the air filter, please follow the arrow direction and push the

filter lightly. Then take out the filter for cleaning.

POWER SUPPLY

(1) Confirm the correct power.
(2) Insert the plug into the power outlet firmly.

In case of a dangerous water leak, prevent the power cord from
getting wet.

(3) Don’t pull the power cord by force because it will cause damage to

the power cables.

PLACE FOR USE

(1) Because the machine exerts hot air, please don’t operate it in a confined

place.

(2) Don’t place the machine in a sunlit corner otherwise the colours of the

cabinet will fade.

HELPFUL HINTS

This unit is fitted with a special thermal cut off device.
When selecting the refrigerating function, the unit should operate in
room temperatures between 17-43℃, and when selecting the heating
function the room temperature must be between 5-23℃.
Please ensure the unit is not placed against objects which will
obstruct air intake e.g. furniture or curtains as this will affect it's
performance drastically.
Do not place the unit in direct sunlight, as this may cause the unit to
overheat and turn off.

EXHAUST PIPE AND DRAIN PIPE

● To remove exhaust pipe, press down slightly and pull away from the unit.

● Picture indicates the removal of the exhaust pipe.

● Make sure the exhaust pipe and the drain pipe are extended to the

closest window.
