This portable air conditioner is designed for household use. Before first use, ensure the unit has stood upright for at least one hour after transport to allow the refrigerant to settle. The unit requires a flat surface with at least 30cm of clearance on all sides, including the top, to ensure proper airflow. Do not use this appliance with external timers or programmers.
Components
- Main Air Conditioner Unit
- Hot-Air exhaust hose
- Hose Connectors (Window end and Air Conditioner end)
- Window Kit
- Remote Controller
Installation
Mounting Position: Place the unit on a flat surface. Ensure the power supply is nearby and the air outlet is not blocked. Maintain 30cm clearance around the unit.
Exhaust Hose Installation:
- Twist both ends of the exhaust hose into the square fixing clip and the flat fixing clip.
- Insert the square fixing clip into the openings at the back of the air conditioner.
- Install the exhaust hose so that exhaust air is removed from the room (you may need to cut a hole in your window pane).
Operating your Air Conditioner
The unit features Cooling, Dehumidifying, and Fan modes. Keep an interval of at least 3 minutes between switching functions or turning the unit ON/OFF.
- Cooling Operation: Press the POWER button, then press MODE until the 'COOL' icon appears. Use TEMP+ or TEMP- to set the desired temperature (16°C - 31°C). Adjust fan speed using the FAN SPEED button.
- Dehumidify Operation: Press MODE until the 'DEHUMIDIFY' icon appears. The unit automatically sets the temperature to room temperature minus 2°C and sets the fan to LOW.
- Fan Operation: Press MODE until the 'Fan' icon appears and select the desired speed.
- Timer: Use the Timer button to set ON or OFF times within a 0-24 hour range.
Care and Cleaning
Air Filter: Open the air inlet grill, remove the filter, and wash it with a neutral detergent in lukewarm water (40°C). Allow it to dry thoroughly in the shade before replacing. Never use the unit without the air filter.
Storage: Remove the plug from the socket. Remove the rubber plug from the drainage hole at the bottom of the unit and connect a drain hose to drain the water tank. Allow the unit to dry completely before storing in a dust-free location.
Troubleshooting
If the unit does not start, check if the water tank is full (indicated by a blinking light) or if the room temperature is lower than the set temperature. If the unit is not cooling enough, ensure windows/doors are closed, remove heat sources, check that the exhaust hose is connected, or lower the temperature setting. If the unit is noisy, ensure it is on a flat, level surface.
