Points to keep in mind when using your air conditioner
caution
Warnings for use
• Do not modify any part of this product.
• Do not insert anything into any part of the unit.
• Ensure the power supply used has an appropriate
voltage rating. Only use a 220V – 240V, 50Hz,10A
mains electricity supply. Use of a power supply with an
improper voltage rating can result in damage to the unit
and possibly fire.
• Always use a circuit breaker or fuse with the proper amp
rating.
Do not, under any circumstances, use wire, pins or other
objects in place of a proper fuse.
• In the event of any abnormality with the air conditioner
(eg. a burning smell), turn it off immediately and
disconnect the power supply.

Warning for power supply cord
• This power plug must only be plugged into an
appropriate wall socket. Do not use in conjunction with
any extension cords.
• Push the power plug securely into the socket and make
sure it is not loose.
• Do not pull, deform, or modify the power supply cord,
or immerse it in water. Pulling or misuse of the power
supply cord can result in damage to the unit and cause
electrical shock.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly
qualified person in order to avoid a hazard. Use only the
manufacturer specified power cord for replacement.
• This appliance must be earthed. This appliance is
equipped with a cord having an earth wire. The plug
must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed
and earthed.

Usage cautions
• Ventilate the room periodically during use, especially if using
gas appliances in conjunction with the air conditioner.
• Be sure to turn the unit off and disconnect the power
supply cord before performing any maintenance
or cleaning.
• Do not splash or pour water directly onto the unit.
Water can cause electrical shock or equipment damage.
• Drainage should be performed whenever moving the air
conditioner (see page 20). If any water remains in the
tank, it may spill out while being moved.
• To ensure proper drainage, the drainage hose must
have no kinks and must not be elevated during
dehumidification mode. If not, the drained water may
spill out into the room.
• The temperature around the drainage hose must not
be below freezing point when used. Drained water may
freeze inside the hose, causing water inside the unit to
overflow into the room.
• Do not block the exhaust air outlet with obstacles.
Cooling performance may be reduced or stop completely.
• Provide a residual current device (RCD) in order to
protect against electric shock in accordance with
Australian Standard and Wiring Rules.
• Exposure to direct airflow for an extended period of
time could be hazardous to your health. Do not expose
occupants, pets, or plants to direct airflow for extended
periods of time.
• Do not use this air conditioner for non-specified special
purposes (e.g. preserving precision devices, food, pets,
plants, and art objects). Usage in such a manner could
harm such property.
Notes on operation
• Allow 3 minutes for the compressor to restart cooling.
If you turn the air conditioner off and immediately restart
it, allow three minutes for the compressor to restart
cooling. There is an electronic device in the unit that
keeps the compressor turned off for three minutes
for safety.
• In the event of a power failure during use, allow 3
minutes before restarting the unit. After power is
reinstated, restart the air conditioner. If the power was
off for less than three minutes, be sure to wait at least
three minutes before restarting the unit. If you restart
the air conditioner within three minutes, a protective
device in the unit may cause the compressor to shut off.
This protective device will prevent cooling for about 5
minutes. Any previous settings will be cancelled and the
unit will return to its initial settings.
• Low temperature operation: Is your unit freezing up?
Freezing may occur when the unit is set close to 18°C in
low ambient temperature conditions, especially at night.
In these conditions, a further temperature drop may
cause the unit to freeze. Setting the unit to a higher
temperature will prevent it from freezing.
• Dehumidification mode increases room temperature.
The unit generates heat during dehumidification mode
and the room temperature will rise. Warm air will be
blown out from the Exhaust air outlet, but this is normal
and does not indicate a problem with the unit.
• This air conditioner blows the warm air generated by
the unit outside the room via the exhaust hose while in
cool mode. Accordingly, the same amount of air as that
blown out will enter the room from outside through any
openings into the room.
