Aqua Chill Technology
When operating in Cool Mode this unit uses a self-evaporative system that extracts water from humid
environments and collects it in an internal water tank.
Once sufficient water is collected it is recycled over the condenser, assisting to cool the condenser and
internal refrigerant gas faster than only air. Cooler condenser and refrigerant, means improved cooling
efficiency and performance of the unit.
Some of the water recycled over the compressor is evaporated and expelled from the machine as water
vapour through the flexible exhaust hose.
During very humid conditions the collection of water may be in excess of the evaporation rate and the
internal water tank may become full and cause the
WATER FULL
indicator to trigger. In this instance the
compressor will shut off automatically and a buzzer will sound. Pressing any button will stop the buzzer. You
will need to empty the water tank before the unit will work again (refer to the drainage section).
Adding Water
To utilise the full potential of the cool mode of your
portable air-conditioner, we recommend approx 300mls of
water be added just prior to initial start up.
To add water (see Figure 7.):
1. Take out the filter frame located at the bottom of
the back of the unit.
2. Use a water cup to pour water into the water tray.
Do not pour more than 300ml. Do not overfill the
unit.
3. Put back the filter frame into the unit.
Normally an adequate quantity of water is collected to
keep the recycling process operating. However, in high
temperatures (over 30
0
C) or dry climates, adding water to
commence the Aqua Chill mode will greatly assist the
efficiency and operating temperature of the unit, but is not
critical to the functioning of the unit.
Please ensure that you do not over-fill the unit or the water
tank full indicator may be triggered.

Do not fill with water while in fan mode.
Please Note: Adding water is not a requirement for this unit to function normally. If you choose not to
add water to this unit it will not adversely affect the warranty or its regular performance.
