Set up and operation:

The unit is designed to operate between 21 C and 35 C. Operation outside of

         these temperatures could cause compressor failure and will invalidate the warranty.

         If the temperature in the room is above 35 C it is recommended that all the doors

         and windows are opened and the unit run on Fan only to reduce the temperature.

Site the unit on a firm level surface and apply the castor brakes. Do not operate

         the machine without engaging the castor brakes.

Attach the 400mm exhaust duct and route to a suitable discharge point. Keep the

        duct as short and straight as possible. Do not operate the unit if the hose is kinked

        or puntured. Do not exceed the supplied length of exhaust duct.

Should air need to directed to a particular area fit the air discharge hoses to the

         front outlets and extend to the desired discharge points. 

         Do not exceed 1.25M per hose.

Check that the water drain tank is correctly located in it's housing and the

         flexible drain hose is inserted into the tank.

Connect the unit to a 230Vac 50Hz (60 Hz on selected models) power supply and check that 

          the 'Power On' lamp is illuminated.

Turn the 'Fan On' switch to 'I' to start the fans. 

Select the desired fan speed by rotating the fan speed control knob clockwise for greater speed

          and anticlockwise for slower speed.

Rotate the thermostat fully anti-clockwise for maximum cooling.

Turn the 'Cooling On' switch to 'I' to start the compressor. It should be noted that

         the compressor will not start if the fans are not running or the ambient temperature

         is below 21 C. The compressor is fitted with a start delay timer and will not run for

         3 minutes from activation of the cooling switch. This device is designed to protect

         the compressor from repeated start/stop cycles.

Allow a minimum of 10 minutes for the unit to start cooling.

During the cooling process the unit will produce condensate (water) which will drain

         into the water drain tank. Once this tank fills to a set level it will switch the 

         compressor and fans off and illuminate the 'Tank Full' lamp. 

Before removing the water drain tank, and to avoid any potentially damaging

         water spillage, switch the fans and cooling off and allow 5 minutes for any 

         accumulated moisture within the machine to drain into the tank.

To empty the tank carefully remove it from the machine using the grab handle on

         the top by lifting and sliding it forwards. Do not loosen or remove the large screw cap

         on the front of the tank. Once the tank is emptied replace it in the housing ensuring 

         it is correctly located and that the flexible drain hose is inserted into the tank.

The machine can now be restarted.

Ensure the water drain tank is empty prior to transportation.

Do not remove the water drain tank while the machine is operating.

Close control with the thermostat:

Once the desired temperature has been achieved in the area to be cooled the thermostat can be slowly 

turned clockwise until there is an audible click. The machine will now cycle on and off around this temperature.
