Aqua Chill Technology
When operating in Cool Mode this unit uses a self-evaporative system that extracts water from humid
environments and collects it in an internal water tank.
Once sufficient water is collected it is recycled over the condenser, assisting to cool the condenser and
internal refrigerant gas faster than only air. Cooler condenser and refrigerant, means improved cooling
efficiency and performance of the unit.
Some of the water recycled over the compressor is evaporated and expelled from the machine as water
vapour through the flexible exhaust hose.
During very humid conditions the collection of water may be in excess of the evaporation rate and the
internal water tank may become full and cause the
WATER FULL
indicator to trigger. In this instance the
compressor will shut off automatically and a buzzer will sound. Pressing any button will stop the buzzer. You
will need to empty the water tank before the unit will work again (refer to the drainage section).
Adding Water
To utilise the full potential of the cool mode of your portable
air-conditioner, we recommend approx 1000mls of water be
added to the water injection port just prior to initial start up.
To add water (see Figure 7.):
1. Take out the filter frame located at the bottom of the
back of the unit.
2. Use a water cup to pour water into the water tray.
Do not pour more than 1000ml. Do not overfill the
unit.
3. Put back the filter frame into the unit.
Normally an adequate quantity of water is collected to keep
the recycling process operating. However, in high
temperatures (over 30
0
C) or dry climates, adding water to
commence the Aqua Chill mode will greatly assist the
efficiency and operating temperature of the unit, but is not
critical to the functioning of the unit.
Please ensure that you do not over-fill the unit or the water
tank full indicator may be triggered.
Do not fill the water injection port while in fan mode.

Please Note: Adding water is not a requirement for this
unit to function normally. If you choose not to add water to this unit it will not adversely affect the
warranty or its regular performance.
