SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT!
Carefully read the instructions before operating the unit
This appliance comprises of a cassette unit, a panel and an outdoor unit. The cassette is
designed exclusively for indoor installations while the external condenser can be installed
outside while still away from flood water or snow line.
Always place the unit on a dry and stable surface. Install the outdoor unit on a wall with wallmounting brackets or fix to a floor slab with special floor mounting slab bolts or brackets
away from flood or snow lines.
This appliance is intended for permanent installation into a fixed structure, and should not
be installed on vehicles.
The outdoor part of the air conditioner unit must always be stored and transported upright,
otherwise irreparable damage may be caused to the compressor; if in doubt we suggest
waiting at least 24 hours before starting the unit.
European Union regulations requires for an F-Gas trained engineer to handle any operation
where non-qualified intervention could cause fluorinated gas to escape. A commissioning
certificate must be issued with any installation.
This air conditioner contains R32 with a GWP of 675.
This air conditioner has been tested and is safe to use. However, as with any electrical
appliance - use it with care.
Disconnect the power before dismantling, assembling or cleaning.
Never connect the unit to an electrical outlet using an extension cord. Both the indoor and
outdoor units must be hardwired by a qualified electrician.
Never operate this appliance if the cord is damaged. Ensure the power cord is not stretched
or exposed to sharp objects or edges.
A damaged supply cord should be replaced by the manufacturer or a qualified electrician in
order to avoid a hazard.
Avoid touching any moving parts within the appliance.
Never insert fingers, pencils or any other objects through the guard
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities. It is also not intended for use by those with a lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Do not leave
children unsupervised with this appliance.
Do not clean the unit by spraying it or immersing it in water.
Any service other than regular cleaning or filter replacement should be performed by an
authorized service representative or a qualified air conditioning engineer. Failure to comply
could result in a voided warranty.
This air conditioner is intended for cooling / heating a room to a suitable level for human
comfort, and should not be used for any other purpose such as cooling food.
Avoid restarting the air conditioning unit unless 3 minutes have passed since being turned
off. This prevents damage to the compressor.
Never use the mains as a switch to start and turn off the air conditioning unit. Use the
provided ON/OFF button located on the remote control.
The indoor unit should not be installed in laundry or wet rooms.
After cleaning the mesh filter, reinstall it as soon as possible; do not operate the unit without
the mesh filter; otherwise it may affect the operation of the unit.
Lightning and other electromagnetic radiation sources may affect the operation of the unit.
During these conditions, disconnect the power supply and then power on after the
4
influence has been eliminated.
The operation parameters and protection device settings have been set during production;
these settings must only be changed by a qualified engineer with understanding of their
usage as incorrect settings could disable the unit’s protection features leading to damage of
the unit.
The unit must be sited far from any fire hazard. In case of fire due to short circuit, immediately
disconnect the power and extinguish the fire with a dry powder fire extinguisher. The unit
must only be installed by a qualified F-gas registered engineer.
Decommissioning or moving of the unit must only be carried out by a qualified F-gas
registered engineer.
Do not operate or store inflammable or explosive articles around or below the unit; otherwise
it may lead to a fire hazard.
If the unit is not to be used for a while, turn off the mains supply so as to avoid accident.
Avoid moisture ingress to the electric control system; otherwise it may lead to short circuit
or damage to the machine.
Please ensure the desired temperature is set correctly, especially when elderly, children or
people with limited mobility or mental capability are within the room.
In case of breakdown, the user should report the fault to the retailer or manufacturer for
consultation and repair rather than attempting diagnosis or repair; attempted repairs of the
unit by non-professional staff may lead to personal injury or damage to the unit, and may
invalidate the warranty.
In case of refrigerant leak, the stress meter will stop the operation of unit, a qualified F-gas
engineer should be contacted to arrange service;
The refrigerant may discompose into a harmful gas if allowed into contact with an open fire.
Do not touch the exhaust side pipe fittings to avoid scalding since the temperature may be
in excess of 100°C.
Sharp edges and the fin surfaces must not be touched to prevent the risk of cuts or injury.
WARNING
Do not use means to accelerate the defrosting process or to clean,
other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
The appliance shall be stored in a room without continuously
operating ignition sources (For example: open flames, an operating
gas appliance or an operating electric heater)
Do not pierce or burn.
Be aware that refrigerants may not contain an odour.
ENERGY SAVING AND UNIT SAFETY PROTECTION TIPS
Do not cover or restrict the airflow from the outlet or inlet grills.
For maximum performance the minimum distance from a wall or objects should be 50cm.
Keep the filters clean. Under normal conditions, filters should only need cleaning once every four
weeks (approximately). Since the filters remove airborne particles, more frequent cleaning maybe
necessary, depending on the air quality.
For the initial startup set the fan speed to maximum and the thermostat to 4-5 degrees lower than
the current temperature. After, set the fan switch to low and set the thermostat to your desired
setting.
To protect the unit we recommend not using the cooling mode when the ambient indoor
temperature is higher than 35℃.
To protect the unit we recommend not using the heating mode when the indoor ambient
temperature is lower than 7℃. Performance will be reduced at lower temperatures.
Note the manufacturer operating temperature ranges at the end of this user manual.

HOW AIR CONDITIONERS WORK
COOLING MODE
The compressor (6) in the external unit compresses the refrigerant into a high-temperature, highpressure gas. When this gas flows along the cooling fins of the condenser (7), heat is exuded and
the gas condenses into a liquid, which is then led to the evaporator (1) in the indoor unit. The liquid
expands into a gas at a low temperature and low pressure. This gas absorbs the warmth of the air
in the room, and a fan (3) draws the air through the filter and over the evaporator (1), blowing the
cooled air back into the room. The heat is moved to the compressor along with the gas. A fan (8)
draws air over the condenser and blows the warm air away.
1. Evaporator
2. Filter
3. Evaporator Fan
4. Gas Line
5. Liquid line
6. Compressor
7. Condenser
8. Condenser Fan
HEAT PUMP MODE
The system operates in reverse: the condenser works as an evaporator, the evaporator as
a condenser: warm air is blown into the room. It is ideal as a maintenance heating when
outside temperature is not too low and when the indoor temperature is more than 7°C.
DEHUMIDIFYING
As with cooling, the moisture in the air condenses on the cold evaporator at room temperature
acting as a powerful dehumidifier.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
AUTO RESTART
The air conditioner will automatically restart when electricity is restored after a power cut. If in
doubt, check the settings.
RANGE OF INTERNAL THERMOSTAT
The internal thermostat can be set at a desired temperature between 16 and 32°C. Note that
whether the desired value is achieved depends on the room size, temperature and insulation of
the room.
RANGE OF HEAT PUMP FUNCTION
The heat function can be used when the external ambient temperature is above -15°C. The
performance of the heat pump will degrade with lowering external temperatures. Please note the
performance will reduce when the outdoor temperature drops below 5°C.
CAPACITY
The required cooling or heating capacity depends greatly on the location and/or use of the room
where the air conditioner is installed. Strong sunlight and the presence of people, lights or
equipment creates an additional heat load. Normal living spaces require about 350 Btu per
square metre of floor surface. In strong sunlight or if other sources of heat are present, this may
be as much as 1200 Btu per sqm.
Tip: On warm days, let the air conditioner cool the room as much as possible during the night
and keep the temperature constant from night to daytime.
