Cut a 125mm hole through the wall. Fig. 4 Insert part B of the wall adaptor into the hole and using a pencil, mark the fixing points through the rim of the adaptor. Remove the adaptor and drill holes to a depth of 37mm.
Continuous water drainage Recommended for dry (dehumidifier) mode Ensure that unit is not connected to the mains supply. Unscrew and remove upper drain cap and remove the stopper. Keep in a safe place for future use. Fit the hose supplied and secure into position (fig. 5). Place the open end of the hose directly over the drain.
Operation General This air conditioner is suitable for use In room sizes 9 – 14m . Using in rooms above this size may make the conditioning effect less noticeable. With a room temperature below 35˚C. Operating the unit in room above this temperature will result in the unit stopping frequently and may result in damage.
Basic operation - using the controls on the main unit Press the POWER pad to activate the unit. The unit will start operating and the display will activate. Press the MODE pad to select the desired mode. An indicator under the mode will illuminate to show which mode has been selected.
Notes: Ensure that curtains doors etc. do not block the signal between remote and receiver. Bright sunlight can interfere with an infrared signal and prevent it reaching the receiver. If this occurs, close a curtain near the unit to create shade.

Setting timer on and timer off function in sequence Plug in the main unit and switch on at the mains. Select cool mode and set the desired room temperature. Press the TIMER ON button repeatedly until the desired switch on time interval is displayed on the screen.
Using the sleep function – cool mode only This function can help improve air conditioner energy use over the night time period. When sleep mode is activated the set temperature will increase by 1˚C after 30 minutes. After a further 30 minutes, it will increase again by 1˚C.
Maintenance Regular cleaning, maintenance and the correct storage will help ensure safe and efficient use and prolong the life of the product. General Switch off and disconnect from the mains supply before carrying out cleaning and maintenance. Keep the air vents and air conditioner surface free from dirt and clean the air filter regularly.
Draining the collection tray Ensure that unit is not connected to the mains supply and disconnect the exhaust hose (if fitted). Move the unit to an area with a suitable drain (e.g. shower tray). Unscrew and remove the lower drain cap and remove the stopper (fig. 10).
Troubleshooting Observation Potential cause / solution Unit will not start Plug not fully inserted into the mains socket or not switched on P1 is displayed. Drain water in bottom tray Cooling mode - Room temperature lower than set temperature. Reset temperature Do you have a power cut? Room not cool Doors or windows in the room are not closed.

Checks to the area Prior to beginning work on systems containing flammable refrigerants, safety checks are necessary to ensure that the risk of ignition is minimised. For repair to the refrigerating system, the following precautions shall be complied with prior to conducting work on the system. Work procedure Work shall be undertaken under a controlled procedure so as to minimise the risk of a flammable gas or vapour being present while the work is being...
Page 28
No ignition sources No person carrying out work in relation to a refrigeration system which involves exposing any pipe work that contains or has contained flammable refrigerant shall use any sources of ignition in such a manner that it may lead to the risk of fire or explosion.
Page 29
Checks to the refrigeration equipment Where electrical components are being changed, they shall be fit for the purpose and to the correct specification. At all times the manufacturer's maintenance and service guidelines shall be followed. If in doubt consult the manufacturer's technical department for assistance. The following checks shall be applied to installations using flammable refrigerants: ...

Repairs to sealed components During repairs to sealed components, all electrical supplies shall be disconnected from the equipment being worked upon prior to any removal of sealed covers, etc. If it is absolutely necessary to have an electrical supply to equipment during servicing, then a permanently operating form of leak detection shall be located at the most critical point to warn of a potentially hazardous situation.
Page 31
Detection of flammable refrigerants Under no circumstances shall potential sources of ignition be used in the searching for or detection of refrigerant leaks. A halide torch (or any other detector using a naked flame) shall not be used. Leak detection methods The following leak detection methods are deemed acceptable for systems containing flammable refrigerants.
Page 32
Removal and evacuation When breaking into the refrigerant circuit to make repairs or for any other purpose conventional procedures shall be used. However, it is important that best practice is followed since flammability is a consideration. The following procedure shall be adhered to: ...
Page 33
Charging procedures In addition to conventional charging procedures, the following requirements shall be followed. Ensure that contamination of different refrigerants does not occur when using charging equipment. Hoses or lines shall be as short as possible to minimise the amount of refrigerant contained in them. ...

g) Start the recovery machine and operate in accordance with manufacturer's instructions. h) Do not overfill cylinders. (No more than 80 % volume liquid charge). Do not exceed the maximum working pressure of the cylinder, even temporarily. When the cylinders have been filled correctly and the process completed, make sure that the cylinders and the equipment are removed from site promptly and all isolation valves on the equipment are closed off.
Page 35
Recovery When removing refrigerant from a system, either for servicing or decommissioning, it is recommended good practice that all refrigerants are removed safely. When transferring refrigerant into cylinders, ensure that only appropriate refrigerant recovery cylinders are employed. Ensure that the correct number of cylinders for holding the total system charge is available.
