supplied remote control. This remote control requires 2xAAA
batteries to operate.
Note: Batteries contain materials, which are hazardous to
the environment; they must be removed from the appliance
at the end of their life and disposed of safely.
Regulating air flow direction
Turn the roller on the air vent
horizontally to control the air flow
direction.
NOTE
1. To prolong the compressor's life, after switching off the unit, please wait
forat least 3 minutes before switch back on.
2. The cooling system will switch off if the ambient temperature is lower
than the termperature set. The ventilation, however, keeps working on
the set level. If the ambient temperature rises above the selected level,
the cooling system will start operating.
H. DRAINAGE
NOTE: When the room humidity is over 85%, it is necessary to use
“continuous drainage” with the extended drain tube.
This unit is self evaporating and the condensate will vent out of the exhaust
hose. However, during the coiling process any excess will collect in the
reservoir inside the unit.
If the reservoir is full the compressor and motor will stop operating and the
unit will make a beeping noise and the water full (WF) indicator will flash.
Pressing any button on the control panel will stop this sound.
To enable the cooling system to start operating again, the water inside the unit
required draining in one of the following ways:
1. Turn off the air conditioner
and unplug from the power
socket. While the reservoir
is full, avoid moving the unit.
2. Position the water tray
underneath the drain hole.
3. Remove the drain cap and
rubber plug from the drain
hole and allow the water to
drain out.
4. Once drained replace the
rubber plug and firmly
tighten the drain cap.
5. Switch on the unit - the W.F
light should not be flashing.
If you wish to operate the unit without the need to empty, you can fit the
optional drain hose.
1. Remove the drain cap and
rubber plug, and retain for
future use. Connect the drain
tube supplied as shown and
locate the other end into a
drain.
2. The drain tube may be
extended by adding
an extension tube and using a
suitable connector, (not
supplied by the manufacturer)
Approx 18mm outer diameter.
Please note
• The drain must be at or below the outlet level.
• Flashing W.F - ‘full water’ indicator will not function in this mode of
drainage.
I. MAINTENACE
Always switch off and unplug the air conditioner from the mains before
cleaning. To maximize the efficiency of the air conditioner cleans
regularly.
Cleaning the housing
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the body clean. Never use aggressive
chemicals, petrol, detergents, chemically treated cloths, or other cleansing
solutions. These could all damage the unit casing.
Cleaning the filter
Use a vacuum cleaner or tap the filter lightly to remove loose dust and dirt
from the filters and then rinse thoroughly under running water (no hotter than
40°C). Dry thoroughly before replacing. Never operate the unit without the
filters.
End of season storage
