IMPORTANT

Installer and Users please note:

These instructions should be read carefully and left with the user of the product
for future reference.

BEFORE USE

Inspect the product including its cable and plug for any signs of damage. If the
product is damaged, DO NOT use it, and contact your supplier immediately. The
appliance contains a refrigerant gas, so must be kept upright at all times. After
unpacking wait 3 hours for the refrigerant gas to stabilise before use.

INSTALLATION

Stand the EH0468 on a firm, flat, level surface.
Connect the exhaust hose as follows: expand a small section of the end, and

screw into the indoor adaptor; then slide the indoor adaptor into the slot at the
back of the unit. Expand a small section of the other end of the hose, and screw
into the fish-tail-shaped adaptor.

Slide the two-part window adaptor to the correct length to fit the window. Close
the window as far as possible to keep the window adaptor in place. Clip the fish­tail shaped adaptor into the obround aperture in the window adaptor.

Keep the hose as straight as possible, avoid dips where the moisture from the
exhaust air can condense and fill the tube with water. Do not allow the hose to be
crushed.

The hose can be expanded up to 1.8 m long, but the shorter it is the more
efficiently the EH0468 will operate. Do not extend the hose, or replace with
another type of hose.

Fit one CR2032 battery to the remote
control, observing the correct polarity.

Do not attempt to recharge the battery.
Do not dispose of the battery in a fire,

as it will explode.
Do not use any other type of battery.

PAT TESTING.

When used in an office environment, this product must be safety-tested yearly by
a qualified electrician (PAT Tested) in order to comply with the Electricity at Work
Regulations.

We recommend that it is PAT tested regularly when used in a domestic
environment.

OPERATION

Leave the appliance in an upright position for 3 hours before first use.
Plug the mains lead into a 13 Amp mains socket (unless permanently installed)
If connecting via an extension lead, make sure that the lead is rated at 13 Amps

or more, and that it is fully unwound.
Switch the unit on at the mains socket.
ON/OFF Button: Press the "ON/OFF" button to start the unit. The Power

indicator illuminates when the appliance is ON. There will be a short delay (of
about a minute) before the appliance starts to operate.

"MODE" Button: Select the mode by pressing the "MODE" button. The available
modes are:

Automatic mode: either heats or cools as required to maintain the

selected room temperature. Then use the TEMP+ and TEMP˜ buttons to
select the desired room temperature. When the temperature reaches the desired
temperature, the compressor will stop, and the fan will continue to run.

Cooling mode: cools if the room temperature is above the selected
temperature.Then use the TEMP+ and TEMP˜ buttons to select the
desired room temperature. When the temperature reaches the desired

temperature, the compressor will stop, and the fan will continue to run.

Dehumidifying mode: removes humidity, but does not affect room

temperature. The fan operates at its lowest speed. For best results, do not
use the exhaust tube, but fit a permanent drainage pipe to the drain outlet as
shown on page 7.

Fan mode: circulates the air, but does not affect room temperature or
humidity.

Heating mode: heats if the room is temperature is below the selected
temperature. Then use the TEMP+ and TEMP˜ buttons to select the

desired room temperature. When the temperature reaches the desired
temperature, the compressor will stop, and the fan will continue to run. Heating
performance reduces if the outdoor temperature falls below 7 °C

Page 5

"SPEED" Button: Set the fan speed using the fan speed control.
In all modes except dehumidifying mode. The fan speed can be low, medium or

high. The fan speed is indicated by the speed of the segments on the windmill
symbol on the LED display.

TEMP+ and TEMP˜ buttons:

Use the + and ˜ buttons to select the desired room temperature. The temperature

can be set to any temperature from 16 °C to 31 °C. Selecting a lower
temperature whilst heating, or a higher temperature whilst cooling will reduce
power consumption.

SWING button: Press the "SWING" button to turn the oscillation of the louvres
on or off.

If the "WATER FULL" indicator lights, the condensate
water tank is full. This should only happen very rarely, as
most of the water collected is evaporated and sent down
the exhaust air tube.
To empty the water, switch the unit off by pressing the
ON/OFF button, wait for three minutes, and then
disconnect from the mains supply. Place a drainage pan
underneath the drain outlet plug (an the bottom of the unit,
at the back in the centre). Withdraw the bung, and allow
the water to drain into the drainage pan. Replace the bung,
and reconnect the unit to the mains supply.

The water should be disposed of down a drain.

To avoid the need to empty the water,
a permanent drain tube may be fitted
as shown: use a piece of 18mm
diameter tube (not supplied) and run
the pipe to a drain, making sure that it
runs downhill all the way.

Unplug the EH0468 from the mains
when not in use.

END OF SEASON STORAGE.

Before putting the appliance into storage, empty all water from the drain, and run
the appliance on "fan only" mode for a few hours to dry the inside thoroughly.
Clean the filter, unplug the mains cable, and store the appliance in its original box
in an upright position. Remove the battery from the remote control.
