ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS Before plugging the appliance into the mains socket, check that: The mains power supply corresponds to the value indicated on the rating plate on the back of the appliance; The mains socket and electrical circuit are adequate for the appliance; The mains socket matches the plug. If this is not the case, have the plug replaced; The mains socket is adequately earthed. Failure to follow these important safety instructions absolves the manufacturer of all liability. The power cable must be replaced by a qualified professional only.
The instructions below will enable you to prepare your air conditioner for operation as efficiently as possible. Before use, make sure the air intake and outlet grilles are unobstructed.

AIR-CONDITIONING WITHOUT INSTALLATION
Just a few simple steps and your comfort is ensured with your air conditioner: Fit the air exhaust hose

in the housing

Open the window or French window slightly and position the outlet as shown in figure B 13.
at the back of the appliance. Keep the air hoses as short and free of curves as possible to avoid constrictions.
Insert it as shown in figure A.
Unscrew the plastic end of the air exhaust hose 12 and screw on the window outlet 13. Place the air conditioner near a window or French window. Make sure the air exhaust hose is unobstructed.
AIR-CONDITIONING WITH INSTALLATION
If required, your appliance can also be installed semi-permanently (Fig. C). Fit the wall flange accessory ded in the hole.

11 provi-

Fit the air exhaust hose 12 in the relevant hose located on the rear side of the appliance. (fig. A page 16). Insert the other end of the hose 12 on the flange 11 as shown in fig. E.

MAX100 cm

Proceed as follows: Drill a hole in an outside wall or through a window pane. Respect the height and dimensions of the hole given in figure D.

MIN 35 cm

When the hose 12 is not fitted, the hole can be closed with the flange cap 11. NOTE. When installing the air conditioner semi-permanently, you should leave a door slightly open (as little as 1 cm) to guarantee correct ventilation.

Operation

TURNING THE APPLIANCE ON
Plug the appliance into the mains. Press the ON/OFF button (A) (when turned on, the air conditioner starts operating in the same mode as when it was turned off). The display shows the room temperature. Press the MODE button (B) until the indicator light corresponding to the required mode lights up: Light (O): air-conditioning mode Light (N): fan mode Light (P): dehumidifying mode

AIR-CONDITIONING MODE

Ideal for hot humid weather when you need to cool and dehumidify the room. To set operation of the appliance correctly, press the + (E) or - (F) buttons until the desired temperature is displayed. Then select the fan speed by pressing the FAN button (C) until the indicator light corresponding to the required fan speed lights up: MAX: the air conditioner operates at maximum to reach the required temperature as rapidly as possible MED: reduces noise levels but still maintains a good level of comfort MIN: for silent operation The most suitable temperature for the room during the summer varies from 24 to 27C. You are recommended, however, not to set a temperature much below the outdoor temperature.

FAN MODE

Adjust fan speed by pressing the FAN button (C) as described for the air-conditioning mode. Remember that the higher the speed, the more air is filtered. If you select "MIN" speed, less air is filtered but the appliance is also less noisy.

DEHUMIDIFYING MODE

Ideal for reducing the humidity in a room without lowering or raising the temperature (spring or autumn, damp rooms, rainy spells, etc). When the dehumidifying mode is selected, the light (P) comes on. At the same time, the "MIN" fan speed light (M) comes on. In this mode, other speeds cannot be selected.

PROGRAMMING THE TIMER

The timer can be used to delay appliance start up or shut down. This avoids wasting electricity by optimising operating periods. How to programme delayed start up Plug the appliance into a mains socket and press the ON/OFF button (A), then select the required operating mode and other settings (temperature, fan speed, etc). Press the ON/OFF button (A) again to place the appliance in standby mode. Press the timer button (D). The timer light "H" flashes. Use the + (E) or - (F) buttons to set the number of hours delay before the appliance comes on. The time increases or decreases in steps of one hour. The indicator light (H) flashes until the appliance starts up. You can set the appliance to come on with a delay of up to 12 hours. To cancel the timer programme, press the timer button (D) again. Light (H) stops flashing. How to programme delayed shut down Delayed shut down can be programmed in any operating mode (air conditioning / fan/ dehumidifying). Press the timer button (D). The timer light "H" flashes. Use the + (E) or - (F) buttons to set the number of hours delay before the appliance goes off. The time increases or decreases in steps of one hour. The light (H) flashes until the appliance turns off as programmed. At the set time, the air conditioner shuts down and remains in standby. To cancel the timer programme, press the timer button (D) again. Light (H) stops flashing.

Using the remote control unit (some models only)
MODELS WITH REMOTE CONTROL
Point the remote control at the receiver on the air-conditioner. The remote control should be handled with extreme care and respect. Do not drop it, expose it to direct sunlight, or leave it near sources of heat.
DESCRIPTION OF THE REMOTE CONTROL 15) "ON/OFF" button 16) "MODE" button 17) Programmed operation temperature increase button 18) Programmed operation temperature decrease button 19) "TIMER" button 20) Fan speed selection button (MAX/MED/MIN).
Replacing the batteries Remove the cover on the rear of the remote control; Replace the old batteries with two new LR03 AAA 1.5V batteries, inserting them correctly (see the instructions inside the battery compartment); Replace the cover. If the remote control unit is replaced or discarded, the batteries must be removed and disposed of in accordance with current legislation as they are harmful to the environment.

For air conditioning/dehumidifying/fan only settings and programming the timer, see page 18-19.
To get the best from your air conditioner, follow these recommendations: close the windows and doors in the room to be air conditioned. The only exception is when the appliance is installed through a hole in the wall. In this case, you are recommended to leave a slight draught through a door or window to guarantee correct ventilation. Never use the appliance in very damp rooms (laundries for example). Never use the appliance outdoors.

close doors and windows

Protect the room from direct exposure to the sun by partially closing curtains and/or blinds to make the appliance much more economical to run; Never rest objects of any kind on the air conditioner; Never obstruct the air intake 6 or outlet

1 grilles;

Make sure there are no heat sources in the room.

close blinds or curtains

Make sure the air conditioner is on a level floor.

Cleaning

Before cleaning or maintenance, turn the appliance off by pressing the ON/OFF button (A) or in models with remote control unit, by pressing the ON/OFF button 15 , then always unplug the appliance from the mains socket. CLEANING THE CABINET You should clean the appliance with a slightly damp cloth then dry with a dry cloth. For safety reasons, never wash the air conditioner with water. Precautions Never use petrol, alcohol or solvents to clean the appliance. Never spray insecticide liquids or similar. CLEANING THE AIR FILTERS To keep your air conditioner working efficiently, you should clean the dust filter every week of operation. The filter is housed in the intake grille. To clean the filters, remove the filter as shown in figure F Use a vacuum cleaner to remove the dust collected on the filter. If it is very dirty, immerse in warm water and rinse a number of times. The water should never be hotter than 40C. After washing, leave the filter to dry. Put the filter back in its housing. START OF SEASON CHECKS Make sure the power cable and plug are undamaged and the earth system is efficient. Follow the installation instructions precisely. END OF SEASON OPERATIONS To drain all water from the circuit, remove the cap 10 from the drain hose on the back of the appliance and allow the water to drain out into a basin (figure G). When the appliance is empty, replace the cap.
