• To ensure proper drainage, the drainage hose
must have no kinks and must not be elevated during
dehumidificatioin 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 (ROD) in order to
protect against electric shock in accordance with British
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.
2. SAFETY INSTRUCTION
2.1 Notes on Operation
• Allow 3 minutes for the compressor
to restart cooling. If you turn the
air conditioner off and immediately
restart it, allow 3 minutes for the
compressor to restart cooling. There
is an electronic device in the unit that
keeps the compressor turned off for
3 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 setting will be cancelled and
the unit will return to its initial setting.
• 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.
