[book-icon]

• The appliance should not be installed in laundry or wet rooms.
• The appliance must be placed in a room without sources of ignition (e.g., open flames, an operating gas appliance, or an operating electric heater).
• R290 refrigerant gas complies with European environmental directives.
• R290 has a low GWP (Global Warming Potential) of 3.
• The SF8000E-V4 contains about 180 g of R290 refrigerant gas.
• Do not use or store in an unventilated space with an area smaller than 8.7 m² per unit.
• The room must be such as to prevent stagnation of possible leaks of refrigerant gas, as there could be a danger of fire or explosion should the refrigerant come into contact with electric heaters, stoves, or other sources of ignition.
• Refrigerant gas may be odourless.

Energy Saving and Unit Safety Protection Tips

• Do not cover or restrict the airflow from the outlet or inlet grills.
• For maximum performance, the minimum distance from a wall or objects should be 50cm.
• Keep the filters clean. Under normal conditions, filters should only need cleaning once every three weeks (approximately). Since the filters remove airborne particles, more frequent cleaning may be necessary, depending on the air quality.
• For the initial start-up, set the fan speed to maximum and the thermostat to 5 degrees lower than the current room temperature. After, set the appliance to your desired settings.
• To protect the unit, we recommend not using the cooling function when the ambient temperature is higher than 35°C.

INSTALLATION

WARNING:

Before using this unit, please keep it upright for at least 3-4 hours. This unit can easily be moved from one room to another. While moving the unit, please note that it must always be kept upright and then placed on an even surface.

Step 1: Attach the fishtail connector

Attach the fishtail connector to the end of the hose, by extending the end of the hose and twisting until firmly attached to the connector (At least 3 full rotations).

Step 2: Attach the hose to the outlet adaptor

Attach the hose to the outlet adaptor, in the same way by extending the end of the hose and twisting until firmly attached (At least 3 full rotations).

Step 3: Slide the outlet adaptor

Slide the outlet adaptor into position on the rear of the unit.

Step 4: Ensure proper clearance

Make sure the unit is upright and there are no obstructions to the air inlets and outlet grills, with at least 50cm of space to the sides and rear of the unit.

Diagram showing the unit with an exhaust hose attached, pointing to the rear. Another diagram shows the unit from the side with 50cm clearance indicated on the sides and rear.

INSTALLATION OF WINDOW KIT

The window kit (slide bar and fishtail) can be used with sliding windows and doors. For other types of window, the fishtail should be used on its own.

Step 1: Assemble the slide bar

Slide the rear section of the slide bar onto the front section, lining up the plate so it runs within the groove. Extend the bar to the required length and use the supplied wing nut to secure.

Step 2: Attach the plate

Push the screw thread of the plate through the hole in the rear of the front slide bar section.

Diagram showing the slide bar sections, plate, and wing nut, illustrating assembly.

Step 3: Position the slide bar

Partially open the window and place the extended slide bar in position before closing the window onto it.

Step 4: Attach the fishtail adaptor

Fix the fishtail adaptor into the opening on the slide bar.

Diagram showing the unit with the exhaust hose connected to the window slide bar, which is fitted into a partially open window.

NOTES:

• The window kit is only designed for sliding or sash windows or doors. It is not designed for other styles of windows.
• The fishtail adaptor can be used without the slide bar with most windows/doors.
• When using the air conditioner, ensure the opening around the fishtail adaptor is as small as possible to maintain the unit's efficiency.
• The best form of installation is through a wall duct, properly venting hot air from the room while efficiently cooling it.
• In dry mode, the air conditioner should be used without the vent pipe. Ensure an external water tank is used, monitored, and regularly emptied before overflowing. Permanent plumbing or an external uplift water pump can be set up for uninterrupted use.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

The length of the soft hose extends from approximately 30 cm to 150 cm. If the hose is extended above this length, the unit may malfunction, which can invalidate the warranty. The outlet vent must be well ventilated and not obstructed, as this will cause the unit to overheat. Keep the hose as straight and short as possible and avoid bending the air hose by more than 30 degrees to maintain the unit's performance. Excessive bends in the hose may prevent the unit from expelling hot air, which can lead to internal damage and invalidate the warranty.

MULTI PROTECTIVE FUNCTIONS

FROST PROTECTION

In COOL or DRY modes, if the exhaust temperature is too low, the machine will automatically stop operating until the temperature has risen.

OVERFLOW PROTECTION

When the water in the internal water tank exceeds the warning level, the machine will stop operating and sound an alarm with the LCD display showing "E4". To resume operation, empty the internal water tank. After the water is emptied, the machine will automatically return to the original state.

AUTO-DEFROST

The machine has an automatic defrosting function. If during operation the temperature of the internal coils drops too low, the unit will enter auto-defrost, and the heating symbol will flash on the control panel.

AUTOMATIC THERMAL PROTECTION

To protect the service life of the machine, it has automatic thermal protection. If the temperature within the unit is outside the specified range, the compressor and the lower motor will stop operation. The appliance will automatically return to normal operation after the temperature recovers.

COMPRESSOR PROTECTION

To prevent damage to the compressor, there is a 3-minute delay start protection function.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

IMPORTANT:

Please shut off the unit and unplug from the mains before cleaning or performing any maintenance.

CLEAN THE SURFACE

Clean the surface of the machine with a wet soft cloth. Do not use chemicals such as benzene, alcohol, gasoline, etc., as this may cause damage to the surface or internal workings of the machine.

AIR FILTER CLEANING

If the filter screen is clogged with dust, the effectiveness of the air conditioner is reduced. The filter screen should be cleaned once every two weeks or as often as necessary in your environment.

CLEAN THE UPPER FILTER SCREEN FRAMES

Remove the filter screens by gently sliding them out of the unit. Once removed, put the evaporator filter screen into warm water with neutral detergent (about 40°C / 104°F) and dry it in the shade after rinsing clean.

Diagram showing the air conditioner unit, multiple filter screens, and a basin of water with a filter screen being cleaned.

EMPTYING THE INTERNAL WATER TANK

MANUAL DRAINAGE:

When the internal water tank is full, the unit will stop working and display "E4". Turn off the unit and unplug it from the mains. Avoid moving the appliance abruptly, as this may cause water in the internal tank to spill. Place a tray under the water plug or place the unit in a drainage area. Remove the drainage cap and rubber stopper from the drain port; water will drain from the internal tank. Once the tank is empty, replace the rubber stopper and cap.

Diagram showing the unit with a tray placed underneath to catch water draining from the port.

CONTINUOUS DRAINAGE:

Remove the drainage cap and rubber stopper from the drain port on the base of the unit. Connect a water pipe to the drain port. This pipe can be plumbed into your current plumbing system, led outside for gravity fall, or used with a water pump.

Diagram showing a water pipe connected to the drain port at the base of the unit.

NOTE:

This model has a self-evaporative function, which reduces the need to empty the water tank in cooling mode. If the unit is vented correctly, most of the water is reused to cool the condenser coils, and any excess is evaporated. Please do not use continuous drainage if you intend to use the self-evaporating facility.

END OF SEASON MAINTENANCE

1. Remove the drainage cap and rubber stopper from the drainage hole and empty the internal tank. You can also drain the water by leaning the unit backwards.
2. Run the unit in fan mode, with a low fan speed, with the rubber stopper still removed, and a container under the drain port.
3. Keep the unit in this mode for half a day until the conduit is dried. This helps to keep the inside of the unit dry and prevents mould development.
4. Turn off the unit and disconnect the plug from the mains.
5. Replace the rubber stopper and drainage cap.
6. Coil the wire and bind it together, then put it into the accessory space.
7. Separate the vent pipe and store it safely.
8. Cover the unit and keep it in a dry place.
9. Take the batteries out of the remote control and store or dispose of them safely. Keep all accessories with the unit ready for next season.
