Incorrect Installation
The smoothness of the exhaust pipe is very important. Try to avoid
bends in the pipe to allow the exhaust air to flow as unobstructedly
as possible through the pipe.
Warning: The exhaust pipe length is specially designed for this
model of air-conditioner. Do not arbitrarily replace or extend it, as this can lead to
product failure.
Note: The maximum length for this exhaust pipe is 1500mm. If you can compress the
pipe to shorten this distance, then this will increase performance. Try to keep the pipe
as level as possible.
Remote Control
Before using the remote control, please install the batteries correctly.
The steps to do so are as follows:
1. Slide the battery cover on the back of the remote control open.
2. Insert 2 batteries into the battery compartment, ensuring that
the polarities match the markings on the inside of the
compartment.
3. Slide the battery cover back into place.
Battery Notes:
•
We recommend the use of alkaline batteries with the air conditioner. Do not use
rechargeable batteries.
•When replacing the batteries, replace both at the same time. Do not mix old and
new batteries.
•If the air-conditioner and remote control is not being used for a long time,
remove the batteries from the remote control.
Battery Warnings:
If there is a battery leak, do not touch the battery with your bare hands.
Chemicals inside the battery may cause burns and other health hazards; if the battery
liquid flows through onto your skin or clothing, rinse with water immediately; if it gets
into your mouth, gargle with water and go straight to a hospital for urgent examination.
Unit Operation

Cleaning and Maintenance
Drainage Method
This unit has an automatic water evaporation system. The circulation of condensed water cools
the condenser. This not only increased refrigeration efficiency but also saves energy.
If the air-conditioners water tank does become full, the screen will display "FL" accompanied by
an audible alarm, and the compressor will stop working automatically. At this point, you will
need to drain the water tank. The method to do so is as follows:
1. Unplug the power cord and remove the exhaust pipe assembly.
2. Move the conditioner to an appropriate location.
3. Disconnect the plug in the water drainage outlet and the water will
drain.
4. Replace the plug into the drainage outlet.
5. Reinstall the exhaust pipe assembly and restart the unit.
Note: to avoid electric shock, turn off the air-conditioner and unplug it from
the power supply before conducting any maintenance or cleaning.

Case Cleaning
1. Remove plug from power supply.
2. Wipe with a soft cloth. Do not use any cleaning agents or
rubbing alcohol on the surface as it may cause damage.
3. Do not let any liquids get into the internal parts of the air-
conditioner.
Filter Screen
It is recommended that you clean the filter screen once every two weeks. If the air
quality if poor, then more frequent cleaning may be required. If the filter becomes
clogged with dust, the effective operation of the unit will be reduced. Screen cleaning
steps are as follows:
1. Remove plug from power supply.
2. Remove the air intake grille and then the
filter screen as shown in the image.
3. Put the filter screen into neutral detergent
water or warm water to clean, then place in
the shade to dry.
4. Reinstall the cleaned, dry filter screen.
5. Plug unit into power supply, restart it and run as normal.
If the filter screen does not appear to be too dirty or dust is barely
visible, then you can clean it with a vacuum cleaner to suck up any
dust.
In order to avoid filter screen deformation keep the filter screen away from any sources
of heat while drying.
Do not operate the air conditioner without the filter screen installed.
Seasonal Maintenance
If the air-conditioner will not be used for a long time, the maintenance steps are as
follows:
1. Remove the plug from the drainage outlet and allow all water to
drain out.
2. Keep the air-conditioner working for 2 hours in fan mode until the
insides are dry.
3. Turn unit off, then unplug from the power supply.
4. Clean the screen filter, then reinstall into unit.
5. Remove the exhaust pipe and accessories and store them safely.
6. Remove the batteries in the remote control.
7. Put a large plastic bag (such as a garbage bag) over the air-
conditioner, then store it in a cool, dry place.
When resuming use after a long break, check the integrity of the power cord and plug.
If there are cracks or breakages, do not use the air-conditioner. Ensure that the water
plug and filter screens are both correctly installed.
