Preparing for use

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:

• Screw one of the hose adapters 13 to one end of the air exhaust hose 12.
• Fit the other adapter 13 to the air exhaust hose housing 7 at the back of the appliance (see fig. A).
• Screw the end of the hose without adapter to the adapter previously mounted on the appliance (see fig. A).

• Fit the window outlet 15 to the air exhaust hose 12 as shown in fig. B.
• Place the air conditioner near a window or French window.
• Make sure the air exhaust hose is unobstructed.

• Open the window or French window slightly and position the outlet [15] as shown in figure C.

Keep the air hoses as short and free of curves as possible to avoid constrictions.

Preparing for use

AIR-CONDITIONING WITH INSTALLATION

If required, your appliance can also be installed semi-permanently (Fig. D).

Proceed as follows:

• Drill a hole (ø134mm) in an outside wall or through a window pane.

Respect the height and dimensions of the hole given in figure E.

in the woodenkickboard of aFrench window
in the wall: you are recommended to insulate the section of wall using suitable insulation.

E

Keep the air hoses as short and free of curves as possible to avoid constrictions.

• Fit the wall flange accessory 11 provided in the hole.
• Fit the air exhaust hose 13 in the relevant hose 7 located on the rear side of the appliance (see fig. A).
• Screw the wall mounting accessory 14 al tubo uscita aria 12 to the air exhaust hose 13 or, if necessary, unscrew the adapter 12 from the air exhaust hose and replace it with the wall installation terminal 14 (fig. F).

GB

• Insert the other end of the hose 12 on the flange 11 as shown in fig. G.

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

TURING 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.

By default, the room temperature is displayed.

Light (S) is on.

To set the required temperature, press the + (E) or - (F) buttons until the required temperature is displayed. (to switch between °F and °C, press the E and F buttons together for a few seconds).

Light (T) comes on and light (S) goes off.

Fifteen seconds after setting the temperature, the display switches back to room temperature.

Light ($) comes on again.

You can adjust temperature in air conditioning mode only.

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 27^ . You are recommended, however, not to set a temperature much below the outdoor temperature.

Operation

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 (spring or autumn, damp rooms, rainy spells, etc). When the dehumidifying mode is selected, the light () comes on.

At the same time, the "MIN" fan speed light (M) comes on. In this mode, other speeds cannot be selected.

Note: remember to fit the air exhaust hose as described in the chapter "Preparing for use".

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.

Tips

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 (laundrys for example).
• Never use the appliance outdoors.

• 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.

do not cover
the appliance

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 17, 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 H.

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 40^ C . 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 from the drain hose on the back of the appliance and allow the water to drain out into a basin (figure 1). When all the water has been drained, close the hose with the cap and replace in its housing.

Clean the filter and leave it to dry before putting it back in its housing.
