• Do not use this appliance with an extension cord, unless it has been checked and tested by a
qualified electrician or electrical supplier.
• Always place the portable air conditioner on a dry stable surface.
• The air conditioning unit must always be stored and transported upright, otherwise you may cause
irreparable damage to the compressor; in case of any doubt after moving the appliance we suggest
to wait for at least 24 hours before you start the air-conditioning unit.
• Always unplug the appliance before cleaning or changing any parts of the appliance, or when it’s not
in use.
• Never immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid.
• If the power cord is not long enough, an extension cord can be used. The cord should not be in a well
trafficked area as people can trip over the cord and pull the plug out of the socket.
• Clean the appliance according to the User Manual.
• Do not repair the appliance by yourself. Any possible hazard incurred by maintenance of the general
public will void the warranty. The power cord should be replaced by a qualified electrician.
• Please use the accessories provided by the manufacturer; otherwise, the appliance may be
damaged.
Special Recommendations
• Ensure that the appliance is positioned on a flat, large, dry surface without any obstacles nearby. A
minimum distance from furniture and walls is 50cm in all directions.
• The plug should be easily accessible.
• In order to maintain the function of the compressor, the appliance should always be in a vertical
position.
• Do not use the appliance near gas or other flammable liquids.
• Do not block the air outlet or the air inlet ventilation.
• Do not use spray (insecticides, paint) or any other flammable products near the appliance as the
plastic may become deformed. The unit may also sustain electrical damage.
Energy Saving Tips
• Keep blinds and /or draperies, on any windows, closed during the sunniest part of the day.
• Keep the filters clean. Under normal conditions, the filters should be cleaned every 2 weeks. Since
the filters remove airborne particles, more frequent cleaning may be necessary, depending on the
indoor air quality.
• Set the fan speed switch to high cool and the thermostat to the coolest position for the initial start-
up, then set the Fan switch to Low cool and lower the thermostat to a comfortable setting.

Installation
Placement
Place it on an even dry surface, and keep it at least 50cm away from any surroundings.
Screw the exhaust pipe assembly into the air outlet in the back panel (anticlockwise).
Insert the air exhaust hose into the window slider kit, adjust the opening width of the window so that the
window slider kit width matches properly; the length of the kit is adjustable.
Incorrect installation:
It’s important to keep the exhaust pipe smooth, and with no bends. Incorrect mounting can contribute to
the efficiency of the air conditioner. Ensure that the air can flow freely through the pipe.
Warning: The exhaust pipe is designed especially for this model. Do not replace or lengthen it; otherwise it
will result in failure.
Note: Maximum length of the exhaust pipe is 1500mm. It’s better to keep it the shortest length possible and
keep it horizontal.
Operation
