Safety and Precautions
Important: Read all instructions thoroughly before operating the equipment. This unit is intended for use by trained professionals or commercial users. It must be operated on a level, stable surface and kept at least 600mm away from surrounding objects to ensure proper airflow. Do not use the unit in areas with volatile substances, flammable vapors, or where it may be exposed to rain or moisture. Always ensure the unit is properly grounded and connected to a 240V power supply. Never operate the unit with wet hands or if the power cord is damaged.
Operation and Setup
Before initial use, ensure the unit has been stored in an upright position for at least 3 hours. Install the cold vent duct and hot exhaust duct by aligning the notches and rotating them until locked. To operate, unlock the castor brakes, position the unit, and use the control panel to select the desired fan speed. The unit features a 5-litre condensation tank that must be emptied regularly. For continuous operation, an optional drain pipe can be installed. Always turn the unit off and wait 3 minutes before restarting to protect the compressor.

Maintenance and Storage
Regular maintenance is essential for optimal performance. Clean the filter screen at least every two weeks using a vacuum or lukewarm water; do not use harsh chemicals. Inspect the unit periodically for loose hardware or damaged components. When not in use, store the unit in a dry, level location in an upright position. Ensure the condensation tank is completely empty before storage. Any repairs or servicing must be performed by an authorized technician using genuine replacement parts to maintain the warranty.
