Read all instructions before use. Failure to follow these guidelines may result in injury or damage to the equipment.
- Refrigerant R32: This unit uses flammable refrigerant. Only qualified technicians should service the refrigerant loop.
- Electrical Safety: Use a dedicated 10A rated socket. Do not use extension cords unless they are rated for a minimum of 30A. Always disconnect power before maintenance.
- Environment: Do not use in areas with volatile substances, rain, or snow. Operate within a temperature range of 18°C to 45°C.
- Handling: Do not move the unit while it is running. Always set the castor brakes to the locked position during operation.
Installation
Proper installation is required for efficient operation.




- Elbow Installation: Align the notches in the detachable elbow base on the machine, insert, and rotate anti-clockwise until it locks.
- Cold Vent Duct: Align the notches into the detachable elbow, insert, and rotate left until it locks.
- Hot Exhaust Duct: Insert the hot exhaust duct pipe into the heat vent.
- Clearance: Ensure the filter screen and cold air ducting are at least 300mm from walls or obstacles. The hot exhaust pipe must be at least 900mm from the ceiling or other obstacles.
Operation
Before starting, ensure the unit has been in an upright position for at least 3 hours. Check the power cord and plug for damage.

- Unlock castor wheels and position the unit.
- Check the power cord and plug for dust or damage.
- Rotate the control dial to start the compressor and fan.
- Use the control switch to adjust fan speed (Low/High).

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures longevity and efficiency.
- Filter Screen: Clean regularly using a vacuum cleaner. If necessary, wash with a cloth and lukewarm water. Do not use chemicals. Clean at least every 2 weeks.
- Condensation Tank: The 5L tank collects moisture. When full, remove, drain, and replace. Do not move the machine if the tank is full.
- Storage: Store in a dry, level location in an upright position. Ensure the condensation tank is empty before storage.
Troubleshooting
If the unit fails to operate, check for a loose power cable or a burnt fuse. If water leakage occurs, ensure the drain pipe is not clogged, the water tank is correctly positioned, or the tank is not full. If the compressor overload protector activates, the machine will blow non-refrigerated air; contact a service technician if this happens frequently.
