1. BEFORE YOU BEGIN
1.1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Our powerful portable air conditioners are great cooling solutions for
creating a comfortable atmosphere in your space. It also features
ventilation and dehumidifying functions for circulating air and the removal
of moisture. They are self-contained systems that do not require any
permanent installation allowing you to move to the space in which it is
most needed. They are commonly used in kitchens, computer rooms,
garages, and many other areas where installation of an Air-conditioner
Outdoor Unit is limited.
The environmentally friendly R290 is used as the refrigerant. R290 has no
damaging influence on the ozone layer (ODP), a negligible greenhouse
effect (GWP) and is available worldwide. Because of its efficient energy
properties, R290 is highly suitable as a coolant for this application. Special
precautions must be taken into consideration due to the coolant's high
flammability.
1.2 SYMBOLS FROM THE UNIT AND USER MANUAL
warning
This unit uses a flammable refrigerant.
If refrigerant leaks or encounters fire or heating parts, it will
create harmful gas and there is risk of fire.
Read the USER MANUAL carefully before operation.

Further information is available in the USER MANUAL,
SERVICE MANUAL, and the like.
Service personnel are required to carefully read the USER
MANUAL and SERVICE MANUAL before operation.

THE FOLLOWING SHOULD ALWAYS BE OBSERVED FOR SAFETY
This appliance is not intended for commercial use including use in
server rooms.
This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and
above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a
safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not
play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not
be made by children without supervision.
The unit is designed only for use with R-290 (propane) gas as
the designated refrigerant.
The refrigerant loop is sealed. Only a qualified technician
should attempt to service!
Do not discharge the refrigerant into the atmosphere.
R-290 (propane) is flammable and heavier than air.
It collects first in low areas but can be circulated by the fans.
If propane gas is present or even suspected, do not allow
untrained personnel to attempt to find the cause.
The propane gas used in the unit has no odor.
The lack of smell does not indicate a lack of escaped gas.
If a leak is detected, immediately evacuate all persons from
the store, ventilate the room and contact the local fire
department to advise them that a propane leak has occurred.
Do not let any persons back into the room until the qualified
service technician has arrived and that technician advises that

6
it is safe to return to the room.
No open flames, cigarettes or other possible sources of
ignition should be used inside or in the vicinity of the units.
Component parts are designed for propane and non-incentive and
non-sparking. Component parts shall only be replaced with identical
repair parts.
FAILURE TO ABIDE BY THIS WARNING COULD RESULT IN AN
EXPLOSION, DEATH, INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE.

2.2 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ON SERVICING

10
Please follow these warnings when to undertake the following when
servicing an appliance with R290.
2.2.1 Checks to the area
Prior to beginning work on systems containing flammable refrigerants,
safety checks are necessary to ensure that the risk of ignition is minimized.
For repair to the refrigerating system, the following precautions shall be
complied with prior to conducting work on the system.
2.2.2 Work procedure
Work shall be undertaken under a controlled procedure so as to minimize
the risk of a flammable gas or vapor being present while the work is being
performed.
2.2.3 General work area
All maintenance staff and others working in the local area shall be
instructed on the nature of work being carried out. Work in confined
spaces shall be avoided. The area around the workspace shall be
sectioned off. Ensure that the conditions within the area have been made
safe by control of flammable material.
2.2.4 Checking for presence of refrigerant
The area shall be checked with an appropriate refrigerant detector prior to
and during work, to ensure the technician is aware of potentially
flammable atmospheres. Ensure that the leak detection equipment being
used is suitable for use with flammable refrigerants, i.e. no sparking,
adequately sealed or intrinsically safe.
2.2.5 Presence of fire extinguisher
If any hot work is to be conducted on the refrigeration equipment or any
associated parts, appropriate fire extinguishing equipment shall be
available to hand. Have a dry powder or CO2 fire extinguisher adjacent to
