This document describes the Igenix 4-in-1 Portable Air Conditioner, models IG9919 and IG9922, designed for domestic and light office use.
Function Description:
The Igenix portable air conditioner is a versatile 4-in-1 unit capable of cooling, heating, dehumidifying, and fan-only operation. It is designed to provide comfort in various environmental conditions. The unit expels hot air through an exhaust hose, which needs to be vented outside, particularly in air cooling and heating modes. In dry mode, the appliance also discharges moisture outside. The fan-only mode does not require the exhaust hose.

Usage Features:
Installation:
- Initial Setup: After transport or tilting, the unit must stand for 12 hours before connecting to the mains to allow coolant gases to settle.
- Unpacking: Remove all packaging and the exhaust assembly. Lift the unit by its carry handles.
- Exhaust Hose Assembly:
- Extend the exhaust hose by pulling both ends.
- Screw one end of the hose into the exhaust hose connector (anti-clockwise).
- Screw the other end of the hose onto the exhaust hose adapter.
- Slide the assembled exhaust hose into the exhaust duct at the back of the unit until it clicks into place.
- Positioning: The unit has castor wheels for easy movement but should be kept upright. It must be placed on a dry, stable surface, at least 45cm away from walls, curtains, or heat sources for adequate air circulation. The exhaust heat must be expelled outside through a window, door, or wall vent. The exhaust hose can extend from 30cm to 150cm, but shorter lengths are recommended for better results. Avoid kinks or bends greater than 30 degrees in the hose to prevent overheating.
- Window Slider Kit: The kit is designed for most standard vertical and horizontal windows. Panel B slides into Panel A and is sized to the window width, then locked with a screw (C) to ensure no gaps or air pockets. If the window opening is smaller than the kit's minimum length, the end without the hole can be cut.
Operation:
- Control: The unit can be partially controlled via the top control panel, but full functionality requires the remote control.
- Power On/Off: Plug the unit into the mains socket (it will be in standby). Press the "①" button to turn it on. The last active function will appear. To turn off, always use the "①" button and wait a few minutes before unplugging to allow internal checks.
- Remote Control: Point the remote at the appliance receiver (within 7 meters, without obstacles). Handle with care; avoid dropping or exposing to direct sunlight/heat. If it malfunctions, try removing and reinserting batteries.
- Battery Installation: Remove the rear cover, insert two "AAA" 1.5V batteries in the correct orientation. Dispose of old batteries according to local regulations. Do not mix old/new or different battery types. Remove batteries if not using the remote for an extended period.
Modes:
- Cool Mode: Ideal for hot, muggy weather.
- Press the "MODE" button repeatedly until the "Cool" symbol lights up.
- Set target temperature (18°C-32°C / 64°F-90°F) using the "A" or "V" buttons.
- Select fan speed (High/Medium/Low/Auto) using the "X" button.
- Heat Mode:
- Press the "MODE" button repeatedly until the "Heat" symbol appears.
- Set target temperature (13°C-27°C / 55°F-81°F) using the "A" or "V" buttons.
- Select fan speed (High/Medium/Low/Auto) using the "X" button.
- Note: In very cold rooms, the appliance may defrost automatically ("LE" displayed), temporarily interrupting operation. The fan may run for short periods even after the set temperature is reached.
- Dry Mode: Reduces room humidity.
- Prepare the unit as for cool mode, with the exhaust hose attached to discharge moisture outside.
- Press the "MODE" button repeatedly until the "Dry" symbol appears ("dh" displayed).
- Fan speed is automatically selected and cannot be manually adjusted.
