SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Important! • Carefully read the instructions before operating the unit. • This appliance comprises of an indoor and an outdoor unit. The indoor slim evaporator is designed exclusively for indoor floor, wall or ceiling installations while the external condenser should be installed outside while still away from flood water or snow line.
Energy Saving and Unit Safety Protection Tips • Do not cover or restrict the airflow from the outlet or inlet grills both on the indoor and outdoor units. • For maximum performance, the minimum distance from a wall or objects should be 50cm. •...
HOW AIR SPLIT CONDITIONERS WORK COOLING MODE WALL MOUNTED The compressor (6) in the external unit compresses the refrigerant into a high-temperature, high- pressure gas. When this gas flows along the cooling fins of the condenser (7), heat is exuded and the gas condenses into a liquid, which is then led to the evaporator (1) in the indoor unit.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION AUTO RESTART The air conditioner will automatically restart when electricity is restored after a power cut. If in doubt, check the settings. RANGE OF INTERNAL THERMOSTAT The internal thermostat can be set at a desired temperature between 16 and 32°C. Note that whether the desired value is achieved depends on the room size, temperature and insulation of the room.
FILTERS Turn off the appliance from the consumer unit before attempting to service the filters. Never attempt servicing the unit while the power is on. If the unit is celling mounted, please ensure enough space is left to service the filters Identify the filters and remove them as per the procedure bellow Find the groove on the panel and pull the filter out...
Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dirt. If the dust filter is very dirty, it may be washed in lukewarm water with a very small amount of neutral detergent. Rinse well and allow to dry completely (not in direct sunlight or near a source of heat). Reverse the filter removal procedure and push back the clean filter.
INSTALLATION GUIDE SAFETY • Only qualified personnel should install this appliance. • This installation manual is intended for use by individuals possessing adequate backgrounds and qualifications in electrical, electronic, refrigerant and mechanical fields. • Any attempt to install or repair the appliance may result in personal injury and property damage.

INDOOR UNIT POSITION AND SPACING The air inlet and outlet vent should be away from any obstruction, ensuring that there is good airflow through the whole air- conditioned space. Select a position where the condensing water can be easily drained out, and the indoor unit can be easily connected to outdoor unit.
Page 17
INSTALL DIMENSION REQUIREMENTS FOR OUTDOOR UNIT Position Minimum Clearance Left 50 cm Right 50 cm Back 30-50 cm Front 200 cm OUTDOOR UNIT POSITION A convenient position, dry and well ventilated, outside of direct sunlight or strong winds, which is not on a flood line and where noise and airflow does not cause interference or inconvenience.

INSTALLING THE INDOOR UNIT • Select the location of the internal unit, determining the fixing direction and where the pipework will go. • Check that the wall where the pipework will be placed through is clear of any wiring or other internal pipework or structures, before drilling a 90mm diameter hole (slanted slightly downwards).
Page 20
• Once the indoor unit is hung in place, the wiring and pipework can be connected. If space is tight you may need to fit the copper pipes, drain pipes, control and electrical wires before you permanently hang the indoor unit The installation steps for embedded style are basically the same with the hanging style, but remove the left and right panels of the indoor unit and then embed half of the unit body into the ceiling showing up only the back panel and top panel.

ALTERNATIVE CEILING MOUNTING METHOD USING LIFTING BOLTS Matching the structure of the ceiling, set the thread pitch based on the size of this unit as bellow WOODEN STRUCTURES STEEL SKELETON STRUCTURES Place the square bar on the girders and install the lifting bolts. Set directly on the supporting steel Different type of bolts or inserts can be also used.
Page 22
FLOOR / WALL MOUNTING For floor or wall mounting use embedded or expandable bolts strong enough for the type of wall. Install the unit with the control panel facing up similar to a radiator and make sure it is correctly aligned and level.
PIPELINES CONNECTION & AIR PURGING No dust or any other particles, air or moisture should be allowed to enter the air conditioning system. Careful attention should be paid when pipeline connection for outdoor unit is made. Try to avoid repeated curves as much as possible; otherwise, damage to the copper pipes may occur.

NOTES: The copper pipe used in the refrigeration lines is very soft, high pressure copper and prone to get damaged if not handled correctly. Try to avoid getting it bent or stretched. Always use foam protectors (sleeve) and a plastic ring before getting the pipes through the wall. Those will help prevent damage to the pipes.
