SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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 plug from socket before dismantling, assembling or cleaning.
 Avoid touching any moving parts within the appliance.
 Never insert fingers, pencils or any other objects though the guard.
 This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons

with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and
knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not
play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by

children without supervision.

 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.

 The power cord must not be immersed in water, as this could result in electric

shock.

 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 authorized service representative. Failure to comply could result in a voided

warranty.

 When defrosting and cleaning the appliance, only use tools recommended by the

manufacturer.

 Do not use the appliance for any purpose other than its intended use.
 The air conditioner 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 conditioner unless 3 minutes have passed since being

turned off. This prevents damage to the compressor.

 Never use the mains plug or an external timer as a switch to start and stop the air

conditioner. 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 P16HP contains about 225 g of R290 refrigerant gas, and the P18HP contains

about 300g of R290 refrigerant gas

 Do not use or store in unventilated spaces with an area smaller than 10.8 m

2

per
unit for P16HP and 14.4 m2 per unit for P18HP. 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 hazard should the refrigerant come into contact with electric

heaters, stoves or other sources of ignition.

 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.

 Refrigerant gas may be odourless.
 Do not open the air conditioner, to attempt service or repair the unit. Any internal

servicing of the unit must be carried out only by the manufacturer or its authorized

technicians.

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

qualified engineer. Before opening and servicing the unit the authorized 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 air conditioner should be situated at least 50cm from the

walls or other objects.

 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 4-5 degrees

lower than the current temperature. After, set the fan to low and set the thermostat to your

desired setting.

 To protect the unit we recommend the unit should only be used when the temperature of

the room is between 7°C and 35°C. If the temperature is below this use electrical

heating to raise the temperature above 10⁰C before starting the unit.
