• Hose Adapters

3. Setup and Installation

Proper setup is crucial for efficient operation.

3.1 Unpacking

1. Carefully remove the unit and all accessories from the packaging.
2. Inspect for any shipping damage. If damaged, do not operate and contact your retailer.
3. Allow the unit to stand upright for at least 2 hours before operation if it was not stored upright.

3.2 Placement

• Place the unit on a firm, level surface in the room to be cooled.
• Ensure there is at least 30cm (12 inches) of space around the unit for proper air circulation.
• Position the unit near a window or opening for exhaust hose installation.

3.3 Exhaust Hose and Window Kit Installation

The exhaust hose expels hot air outside, which is essential for effective cooling.

1. Attach one end of the exhaust hose to the hose adapter.
2. Connect the hose adapter to the exhaust port on the back of the air conditioner unit.
3. Open the window where the unit will be vented.
4. Apply the self-adhesive velcro tape around the window frame and the window itself, ensuring a secure attachment for the fabric window seal.
5. Attach the fabric window seal to the velcro, creating an enclosed space around the window opening.
6. Insert the other end of the exhaust hose through the opening in the fabric window seal and secure it. Ensure the hose is as straight and short as possible to maximize cooling efficiency. Avoid sharp bends or kinks.
7. Note: The provided exhaust hose is designed for convenience. For optimal performance and to prevent heat re-entry, consider insulating the hose or using a shorter, more rigid alternative if possible.

4. Operating Instructions

Your EMtronics air conditioner can be controlled via the top panel or the remote control.

4.1 Control Panel and Remote Control

The control panel on top of the unit features touch-sensitive buttons and an LED display. The remote control provides convenient operation from a distance.

4.2 Operation Modes

• Air Conditioning Mode: Press the 'MODE' button until the 'COOL' indicator lights up. Use the 'TEMP+' or 'TEMP-' buttons to set your desired temperature (16°C to 31°C). The unit will cool the room and expel hot air.
• Dehumidifier Mode: Press the 'MODE' button until the 'DEHUM' indicator lights up. In this mode, the unit removes moisture from the air. The fan speed is typically fixed to a low setting.
• Fan Mode: Press the 'MODE' button until the 'FAN' indicator lights up. In this mode, the unit circulates air without cooling. Use the 'SPEED' button to adjust fan speed (Low, Medium, High).

4.3 Other Functions

• Timer Function: Press the 'TIMER' button to set an auto-on or auto-off time (up to 24 hours). Use 'TEMP+' or 'TEMP-' to adjust the hours.
• Sleep Mode: Press the 'SLEEP' button on the remote control. In this mode, the unit operates at a quieter setting, gradually increasing the temperature by 1°C after the first hour and another 1°C after the second hour, maintaining this temperature for 6 hours before returning to normal operation.
• Fan Speed: In Air Conditioning or Fan mode, press the 'SPEED' button to cycle through Low, Medium, and High fan speeds.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your unit.

5.1 Cleaning the Air Filter

The air filter should be cleaned every two weeks or more frequently depending on usage and air quality.

1. Unplug the air conditioner from the power outlet.
2. Locate the air filter panel (usually on the back or side of the unit).
3. Remove the filter.
4. Clean the filter using a vacuum cleaner to remove dust, or wash it gently with warm water and mild detergent.
5. Rinse thoroughly and allow the filter to air dry completely before reinserting it.

5.2 Draining Water

The unit collects condensed water during cooling and dehumidifying operations. The unit has an auto-evaporation system, but in high humidity, the water tank may fill up.

• Manual Drainage: When the internal water tank is full, the unit will stop operating and display an indicator (refer to your unit's specific display for 'full water' warning). Place a shallow pan or tray under the drainage outlet at the bottom rear of the unit. Remove the drain plug to allow water to flow out. Replace the plug once drained.
• Continuous Drainage: For continuous operation in high humidity, attach a drainage hose (not included) to the continuous drainage port and route it to a floor drain or suitable container.

5.3 Storage

Before storing the unit for an extended period:

1. Ensure all water is drained from the unit.
2. Clean the air filter.
3. Run the unit in fan-only mode for a few hours to dry the internal components.
4. Unplug the power cord and coil it neatly.
5. Store the unit in a cool, dry place, covered to protect it from dust.
