Important!

• Carefully read the instructions before operating the unit

• This appliance is for indoor use only.

• Rating: This unit must be only connected to a 220-240 V / 50 Hz

earthed outlet.

• Installation must be in accordance with regulations of the country where the unit is used.

• If you are in any doubt about the suitability of your electrical supply have it checked and,

if necessary, modified by a qualified electrician.

• This air conditioner has been tested and is safe to use. However, as with any electrical

appliance - use it with care.

• Disconnect the power from the appliance before dismantling, assembling or cleaning.

• Avoid touching any moving parts of the appliance.

• Never insert fingers, pencils or any other objects though 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.

• Never connect the unit to an electrical outlet using an extension cord. If an outlet is not

available, one should be installed by a qualified electrician.

• Never operate this appliance if the cord or plug is damaged. Ensure the power cord is not

stretched or exposed to sharp objects/edges.

• A damaged supply cord should be replaced by the manufacturer or a qualified electrician

in order to avoid a hazard.

• Any service other than regular cleaning or filter replacement should be performed by an

authorised service representative. Failure to comply could result in a voided warranty.

• Do not use the appliance for any purpose other than its intended use.

• 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.

• 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 plug as a switch to start and turn off the air conditioning unit. Use

the provided ON/OFF button located on the control panel.

• Always place the unit on a dry and stable surface.

• The appliance should not be installed in laundry or wet rooms.

• The appliance must be placed in a room without sources of ignition (for example: open

flames, an operating gas appliance or an operating electric heater).

• R290 refrigerant gas complies with European environmental directives.

• R290 has a low GWP (Global Warming Potential) of 3.

• The air conditioners contain around 280 g of R290 refrigerant gas.

• Do not use or store in an unventilated space with an area smaller than 13.4 m

2

per unit.

• The room must be such as to prevent stagnation of possible leaks of refrigerant gas as

there could be a danger of fire or explosion should the refrigerant come into contact with
electric heaters, stoves or other sources of ignition.

• Refrigerant gas may be odourless.

• Do not use the product and contact the retailer for advice, if damage has occurred to the

unit which may have compromised the refrigerant system.

• Any repairs or maintenance must only be carried out on the unit by a suitably qualified

engineer. Before opening and servicing the unit the authorised engineer must be in

possession of a copy of the manufacturer’s service manual and must follow the safety

information contained within it to ensure all hazards are minimized.

• The refrigerant system should not be perforated or punctured.

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 three weeks (approximately). Since the filters remove airborne particles, more
frequent cleaning maybe necessary, depending on the air quality.

• For the initial start-up set the fan speed to maximum and the thermostat to 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 function when the ambient

temperature is higher than 38oC.
