New Zealand conditions. It comes with a remote controller that
allows you to easily control and navigate the heat pump
functions.

Controlling Airflow:
Adjusting Fan Speed:
- Press the FAN button repeatedly to select the appropriate fan
speed level. Higher fan speeds heat or cool a room more quickly,
while lower fan speeds offer a more gentle effect. - A fan speed of 1 or 2 (LOW or MEDIUM) is ideal for maintaining
a consistent environment. - Selecting Auto Fan Speed means that the fan speed will
automatically adjust to quickly reach the set temperature and then
maintain it.
Adjusting Airflow Direction:
- Press the VANE button repeatedly to select the appropriate
airflow direction. - Select AUTO mode to let the heat pump manage efficient airflow
direction for you. - In manual COOL/DRY mode, select upward positions 1 or 2 for
efficient air conditioning. - In manual HEAT mode, select downward positions 4 or 5 for
efficient airflow. - Swing mode allows the vane to move up and down.

You can set a 12-hour timer to turn your heat pump on or off at
a specific time. Press SELECT to set the start time.

Optimum Heating Temperature Guide
We recommend 1822°C for a comfortable environment. If you prefer your home on the warmer side then we suggest 22°C.
Important! Setting a higher temperature is not going to heat a room quicker. In fact the heat pump is forced to work harder to achieve this temperature and is likely to increase power usage!
Keep your curtains closed while the heat pump is in Heating Mode, to ensure that warm air is retained inside the room.
Summer Cooling Mode
STEP 1 Set Cooling Mode
Press the MODE button and select cooling which is represented by the (snow flake) symbol.

Controlling the Airflow
Adjusting the Fan Speed
Press the
FAN button repeatedly to select the
appropriate fan speed level. To heat or cool a room more
quickly, select a higher fan speed.
A fan speed of 1 or 2 (LOW or MEDIUM) is ideal to keep a consistent environment.
Setting a lower fan speed offers a more gentle heating or cooling effect. To heat or cool more quickly select a higher fan speed.
Auto Fan Speed
Selecting Auto Fan Speed (represented by the symbol) means that you no longer have to worry about which fan speed is best suited to any particular time of the day.
The fan speed will automatically adjust to quickly get the room to the set temperature (3 or 4 bars) and then drops back (1 or 2 bars) to maintain the room temperature.
Adjusting the Airflow Direction
Press the
VANE button repeatedly to select the
appropriate airflow direction.
AUTO sets the vane to the most efficient airflow direction.
If operating a manual COOL/DRY mode, select upward positions 1 or 2 for efficient air conditioning.
If operating a manual HEAT mode, select downward position 4 or 5 for efficient airflow.
Swing allows the vane to move up and down.
Select AUTO mode and let your heat pump manage efficient airflow direction for you.

Heat Pump Maintenance
Cleaning your heat pump regularly ensures optimum operation by reducing unnecessary power consumption; increasing energy efficiency and limiting exposure to condensation. Indoor Unit We recommend cleaning your heat pump filters with every seasonal change. You can do this yourself by using a domestic vacuum cleaner with a small brush attachment.
Outdoor Unit We recommend cleaning your outdoor unit every 6 months. You can do this yourself by clearing any rubbish, plant matter or debris from around the unit. Wash the outdoor unit and coil with a detergent (car wash liquid is ideal, do not use other detergent i.e. dish washing liquid) and hose down afterwards. It is also important that you do not place any outdoor furniture, plants or ornaments on or around your outdoor unit. Anything that compromises the airflow around the outdoor unit will compromise its performance.
If you prefer, you can organise a service company to regularly clean and service your heat pump indoor and outdoor unit for you. Please contact our Customer Service Team on 0800 784 382 for assistance.
Should you encounter any issue with your heat pump, please contact us.
