THE PORTABLE AIR CONDITIONER IS ONLY SUITABLE FOR INDOOR USE AND NOT FOR OTHER APPLICATIONS.

• Before installation, ensure the unit is properly grounded. Contact the manufacturer if you have questions.
• Place the appliance on a flat, dry surface, maintaining at least 50cm clearance from surrounding objects or walls.
• Ensure the power plug is intact and firmly plugged into the outlet. Route the power cord safely to prevent tripping.
• Do not obstruct the air inlet and outlet. Keep them clear of obstructions.
• Ensure drainage pipes are correctly connected and not distorted or bent.
• Handle the upper and lower louvers with care to avoid damage.
• When moving the appliance, keep it in an upright position.
• The unit should be kept away from heat sources like gasoline, flammable gas, stoves, and other heat sources.
• Do not disassemble or modify the unit. Contact the manufacturer or a qualified service agent for any failures.
• Do not install or use the air conditioner in bathrooms or other humid environments.
• Do not pull the plug to turn off the machine.
• Do not place objects on top of the unit or spill liquids into it.
• Do not use insecticide sprays or other flammable substances near the unit.
• Clean the unit with a damp cloth and water only. Do not use chemical solvents like gasoline or alcohol. Ensure the unit is disconnected from the wall socket before cleaning.
• Keep children away from the appliance unless under adult supervision.
• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or a qualified service agent.

0.4 - WARNINGS FOR R290 REFRIGERANT GAS

• The appliance contains R32 gas (Flammability Classification A2L).
• Store the appliance in a well-ventilated area where the room size corresponds to the specified operational area.
• The appliance must be stored in a room without continuously operating ignition sources (e.g., open flames, operating gas appliances, or electric heaters).
• Do not pierce or burn the unit.
• Be aware that refrigerants may not have an odor.
• R32 is a refrigerant gas compliant with European directives. Do not pierce any part of the refrigerant circuit.
• Do not use means to accelerate defrosting or cleaning other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
• Do not use tools different from those recommended by the manufacturer for defrosting and cleaning.
• If the appliance is installed, used, or stored in a non-ventilated area, the room must be designed to prevent refrigerant accumulation and the consequent fire or explosion hazard.
• Comply with national gas regulations.
• Keep ventilation openings clear of obstructions.
• Store the appliance to prevent mechanical damage.
• Do not attempt to repair or access the refrigerant. Contact the manufacturer or a service agent for assistance.
• Servicing must only be performed by the equipment or qualified service agent.
• TRANSPORT OF EQUIPMENT CONTAINING FLAMMABLE REFRIGERANTS: Comply with transport regulations.
• MARKING OF EQUIPMENT USING SIGNS: Comply with local regulations.
• DISPOSAL OF EQUIPMENT USING FLAMMABLE REFRIGERANTS: Comply with national regulations.
• STORAGE OF EQUIPMENT/APPLIANCES: Store in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.
• STORAGE OF PACKED (UNSOLD) EQUIPMENT: Storage protection must prevent mechanical damage that could cause refrigerant leaks. Local regulations determine the maximum number of pieces that can be stored together.
• INFORMATION ON SERVICING:
  • Checks to the area: Perform safety checks to minimize ignition risk before working on systems with flammable refrigerants. Comply with precautions before working on the refrigerating system.
  • Work procedure: Work under a controlled procedure to minimize flammable gas/vapor risks.
  • General work area: Instruct all personnel on the work being carried out. Avoid work in confined spaces. Section off the workspace and ensure the area is made safe by controlling flammable material.
  • Checking for presence of refrigerant: Check the area with an appropriate refrigerant detector before and during work. Ensure leak detection equipment is suitable for flammable refrigerants (non-sparking, sealed, or intrinsically safe).
  • Presence of fire extinguisher: Have appropriate fire extinguishing equipment available for hot work. A dry powder or CO2 fire extinguisher should be readily accessible.
  • No ignition sources: Do not use ignition sources when working on refrigeration systems. Keep ignition sources (including smoking) away from the work site. Survey the area for flammable hazards or ignition risks before work. Display 'No Smoking' signs.
  • Ventilated area: Ensure the area is open or adequately ventilated before conducting hot work. Maintain ventilation during work to disperse released refrigerant.
  • Checks to the refrigeration equipment: Ensure electrical components are fit for purpose. Follow manufacturer's maintenance and service guidelines. Consult the manufacturer if in doubt. Check charge size, ventilation, secondary circuit (if applicable), and markings. Correct illegible markings. Ensure pipes/components are protected from corrosive substances.
  • Checks to electrical devices: Perform initial safety checks and component inspections. Do not connect electrical supply if a fault compromises safety, unless a temporary solution is used. Report any faults. Initial safety checks include discharging capacitors safely, ensuring no live electrical components are exposed, and checking earth bonding continuity.
• REPAIRS TO SEALED COMPONENTS: Disconnect electrical supplies before removing sealed covers. If electrical supply is necessary, use a permanently operating leak detection form. Pay attention to cable damage, connections, terminals, seals, and gland fitting. Ensure apparatus is securely mounted and seals are not degraded. Replacement parts must meet manufacturer specifications. Silicon sealant may affect leak detection. Intrinsically safe components do not require isolation.
• REPAIR TO INTRINSICALLY SAFE COMPONENTS: Do not apply inductive or capacitance loads that exceed equipment limits. Intrinsically safe components can be worked on live in a flammable atmosphere. Ensure test apparatus is correctly rated. Use manufacturer-specified replacement parts.
• CABLING: Check cabling for wear, corrosion, pressure, vibration, sharp edges, and environmental effects. Consider aging and vibration from compressors/fans.
• DETECTION OF FLAMMABLE REFRIGERANTS: Do not use potential ignition sources for leak detection. A halide torch or any detector using an open flame must not be used.
