SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT! • Carefully read the instructions before operating the unit • This appliance comprises of three indoor units and an outdoor unit. The indoor slim evaporators are designed exclusively for indoor installations while the external condenser can be installed outside while still away from flood water or snow line. • Always place the unit on a dry and stable surface.
• • • • • • • Do not clean the unit by spraying it or immersing it in water. Any service other than regular cleaning or filter replacement should be performed by an authorized service representative or a qualified air conditioning engineer. Failure to comply could result in a voided warranty. This air conditioner is intended for cooling / heating a room to a suitable level for human comfort, and should not be used for any other purpose such as cooling food.
HOW AIR CONDITIONERS WORK COOLING MODE 2 1 3 4 5 7 8 6 The compressor (6) in the external unit compresses the refrigerant into a high-temperature, highpressure 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. The liquid expands into a gas at a low temperature and low pressure.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION HEATING MODE When the air conditioner is placed in heating mode, the indoor unit will appear to be inactive while it follows it’s preheat procedure to heat the evaporator coils. Once the coils have heated, the indoor fan will start to run. This process usually takes 1 – 3 minutes, and is designed to ensure that cold air is not circulated. AUTO RESTART The air conditioner will automatically restart when electricity is restored after a power cut. If in doubt, check the settings.
WIFI CONTROL BEFORE YOU START • • • Ensure your router provides a standard 2.4ghz connection. If your router is dual band ensure that both networks have different network names (SSID). The provider of your router / ISP will be able to provide advice specific to your router.

CONNECTION METHODS AVAILABLE FOR SETUP The air conditioner has two different setup modes, CF (Quick Connection) and AP (Access Point). The CF mode is a quick and simple way to set the unit up. The AP connection uses a direct local wifi connection between your phone and the air conditioner to upload the network details.
CONNECTING USING CF MODE (QUICK CONNECTION) 1. Ensure that the display on the air conditioner is displaying CF before pressing “Next Step” (otherwise to change the connection mode: Quickly press the display button on the remote 6 times and wait 10 seconds until CF is displayed) 2. Select your Wifi router from the drop down list and enter the password (Please note the password is case sensitive) before pressing next.
CONNECTING USING AP MODE (ALTERNATIVE METHOD) 1. Ensure that the screen on the air conditioner is displaying AP (otherwise to change the connection mode: Quickly press the display button on the remote 6 times and wait 10 seconds until AP is displayed) 2. Press on the AP Mode button in the top right of the screen to change the app to AP mode connection. 3. Select your Wifi router from the drop down list and enter the password (Please note the password is case sensitive) before pressing next. 4.
The app will automatically upload the connection information to the air conditioner, once the connection is completed, a message will be displayed to confirm. On this page there is the option to rename the air conditioner to something more relevant. If the connection fails, please retry the connection, failing this try connecting using the CF mode connection.
CONTROLLING YOUR DEVICE THROUGH THE APP Now that your air conditioner is linked up to your network, you can control it from your phone. Select your device in the device list to gain access to the controls for the device. Use the + and – buttons to increase and decrease the desired temperature. The tabs on the bottom of the screen should be used to change other settings. Mode: Allows the operating mode to be changed between Feel, Heat, Dry, Cool and Fan.

REMOVING AND REPLACING THE FILTERS 1. 2. Hold the front panel open (or put it in horizontal position) and remove the filter(s).
END OF SEASON If the air conditioner is not going to be used for an extended period: • • • • Set in fan mode on a slightly warm day so that the inside of the appliance dries out. Switch off the power at the fuse box and remove the batteries from the remote control. Clean the filters. Remove the batteries from the remote control.
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. • The manufacturer and retailer cannot be responsible for the interpretation of this information, nor can it assume any liability in connection with its use.
INDOOR UNIT POSITION The air inlet and outlet vent should be away from any obstruction, ensuring that there is a 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. The wall where the unit is fixed should be strong enough to withstand the full weight and vibration of the unit. The unit should be accessible for service and maintenance.

TOOLS RECOMMENDED FOR INSTALLATION Electric Drill Hammer Screwdrivers Tape Measure Core Hole Cutter Spirit Level Number 14 (7mm) Masonry Drill Pencil and Chalk 1.
1. Check the area for any hidden wires or pipes. 2. Mark the right hand backplate screw position. 4. Tap a 7mm wall plug into position. 5. Screw the backplate to the wall using 1.5 inch number 10 screws. 3. Remove the backplate and drill a 7mm hole. 6. Check to ensure level, then mark the other holes and swing the backplate away. 7. Drill the rest of the holes and insert the wall plugs. 8. Fix the backplate to the wall. 9. Mark the hole centre and make sure the cutter will clear the backplate. 10.
INFORMATION REGARDING THE INSTALLATION OF THE INDOOR UNIT INSTALLING THE REAR PANEL 1. Always mount the rear panel horizontally. Due to the water tray within the indoor unit we would advise that the outlet of the water tray should be fractionally lower when installing as this will aid drainage of the condensate collected. 2. Fix the rear panel on the wall with screws. 3.
Notes: 1. The height of the installed unit is recommended to be > 200 cm. 2. Either the indoor unit or the outdoor unit can be higher, but the height difference must comply with a max. 5 metres level difference. 3. Try to avoid bending the pipes as much as possible so as to avoid possible negative impacts upon the performances of the unit.
STANDARD 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. Suitable wrenches should be used when the pipeline connection is done so as to ensure appropriate torque (refer to following torque table).
AIR PURGING WITH VACUUM PUMP Please note this should be completed for each refrigerant circuit (each indoor unit) Check that pipelines connection have been properly connected, remove the charging port cap, and connect the manifold gauge and the vacuum pump to the charging valve using service hoses as shown 2. Open the valve on the low-pressure side of the manifold gauge, then run the vacuum pump. Vacuum the indoor unit and the connecting pipes until the pressure in them lowers to below 1.
NOTES: The copper pipe used in the refrigeration lines are very soft, high pressure copper and prone to get damaged if not handled correctly. Try to avoid bending or stretching the pipework. Always ensure the pipes are protected when running through the wall to help prevent damage to the pipes. To keep the allowed bending radius please make the packed soft pipes vertical before extending Please do not extend only one side of the packed soft pipes.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION OF THE AIR CONDITIONER • The electrical connections can be found under the protective plastic cover. Remove this from the side of the outdoor unit to gain access to the electrical connections. • Connect the indoor power and control wires with the matching outdoor wire as per the electrical diagram. • Do not attempt to connect the wires in a different way to the diagram on the air conditioner as this could damage the unit and invalidate the warranty.
