MOUNTING OF THE EXHAUST PIPE

x Use only the hose provided and clip

exhaust hose and unit adaptor to
the back of the air conditioner

x Avoid kinks and bends in the

exhaust hose as this will cause
expelled moist air to build up
causing the unit to overheat and
shut down. Fig 8 & 9 show correct
position

x The hose may be extended from

300mm to 1500mm but for
maximum efficiency use the
shortest length possible.

WARNING!

The length of the exhaust pipe is specially

designed according to the specification

of this product. Do not replace or prolong

it with your own private hose as this could

cause the unit to mal-function.
