Positioning the Appliance

This unit can easily be moved from one room to another on the rolling castor wheels, please note that whilst moving the unit, it should be kept in an upright position.

• The exhaust heat must be expelled through a window, door or vented through a wall; whilst in air cooling or heating mode. For best results it is recommended to vent through a wall duct. [Image showing exhaust through window/wall]
• Ensure the unit is positioned on a flat and even surface, at least 45cm away from wall, curtains, draperies, or heat sources to ensure adequate air circulation.
• The exhaust hose can be extended from 30cm to 150cm, but it is recommended to use as short as possible as this will minimise the escape of any expelled air and offer better results.
• The exhaust air must flow freely. Avoid kinks and bends in the hose more than 30 degrees as any blockages can lead to the unit overheating.

Warning: Do not use the unit in a wet room, such as a bathroom or laundry room or in areas where the unit is likely to get splashed.

Important: The length of the exhaust hose has been designed according to the specification of the appliance. Do not extend the exhaust hose with any other product as this could lead to the unit malfunctioning.
