Getting Started
Unpacking � When unpacking the appliance, keep the original packaging carton and
materials in a safe place. It will help prevent any damage if the product needs to be transported in the future. � In the event it is to be disposed of, please recycle all packaging materials where possible. � Plastic wrapping can be a suffocation hazard for babies and young children, so ensure all packaging materials are out of their reach and disposed of safely. � Read the manual to familiarise yourself with all parts and operating principles of the air conditioner. Pay particular attention to the safety instructions on the previous pages.
Installation
WARNING! � This air conditioner must be correctly installed by an authorised, licensed
installer in accordance with all applicable rules and national wiring regulations and all instructions in the separate INSTALLATION MANUAL. It is in your interest and that of your safety to ensure compliance. � Do not try to install the air conditioner yourself! Doing so will expose you to danger and void the warranty. Improper installation, adjustment, alteration or service can cause injury or damage. We decline any responsibility for injury or damage, to persons or property, as a result of improper use or installation.
Introduction This Reverse Cycle Inverter Split System Air Conditioner is designed to create comfortable climatic conditions in any room of your home. It consists of an indoor unit that must be wall-mounted in the room you want to heat or cool, and an outdoor unit that can be installed on the ground or on an outside wall on suitable brackets.
Modes of operation You can set the air conditioner to cool, heat or dehumidify the air, or let the unit adjust the room temperature automatically to ensure comfortable conditions all year round. These modes are described in detail in the "Instructions" section of this manual.

Getting Started (Cont.)

How it works
� The indoor air, sucked in by the fan, enters the unit through the grille at the front panel and passes through a filter, which collects any dust (Fig. 4).
� The air is then conveyed to the heat exchanger, where it is cooled and dehumidified or heated, depending on your setting. The heat removed from the room is released to the outside.
� At the end of the cycle, the fan releases the conditioned air back into the room.
� The direction of the air outlet is regulated by flaps on the indoor unit, which are motorised up and down. The vertical deflectors, also motorised, direct the airflow right and left.

Fig. 4

Getting the most out of your air conditioner
� Keep windows and doors shut. Rooms in which the air conditioner is being used should be closed off so the room air is recirculated.
� Locate window/wall units on the south side of the house, if possible. Shade the unit if it is exposed to full sun, but don't restrict airflow over it.
� Set thermostats at 23-26�C for summer cooling. Each degree you lower the thermostat may increase running costs by up to 10%.
� Homes that are insulated require air conditioners with lower heating/ cooling outputs because they can trap the cool/warm air. A fully insulated home will require less power usage from the air conditioner to reach a comfortable room temperature. However, ceiling sweep fans will help move warm/cool air back down to floor level in rooms with very high ceilings.

Getting Started (Cont.)

Preparing the remote control
Inserting/replacing batteries
� Remove the cover from the battery compartment by sliding it off the housing (Fig. 5).
� Insert two new AAA (1.5V) batteries, ensuring the polarities (+/-) match the markings.
� Refit the cover by sliding it back into place.
NOTE:
� Do not use rechargeable batteries.
� Replace old batteries with new ones of the same type when the display is no longer legible.
� Dispose of your remote control batteries in accordance with your local laws and regulations concerning battery disposal.
Programming the remote control
When you open the battery compartment at the back of the remote control, a switch will be visible, above the space for the batteries, as illustrated (Fig. 6). This switch can be set to HEAT or COOL, and to �C or �F.
For this type of air conditioner (reverse cycle) the switch will have been set to HEAT at the factory, which means that the unit will be able to function in all available modes. The switch will also have been set to �C, for your convenience, so the temperature will be displayed in degrees Celsius.

Fig. 5 Fig. 6

IMPORTANT!
Make sure that the switch is set to HEAT. If it is set to COOL, you will not be able to activate the heating function. To do this you need to take out the batteries and set the switch to HEAT without the batteries in place. Then insert the batteries, and the unit will be programmed to function in all
available modes.
