●Always place the portable device on a firm, horizontal footing.
●The machine must always be in an upright position.
GB
●Never tilt the device by more than 45°! Whenever the device has been transported (inclined positions), leave for at least one hour before connecting to a socket outlet.
●In the cooling function the warm exhaust air must be transferred outside by the exhaust air hose. An opening in the wall or window must therefore be provided.
- Please note that the minimum distance between the equipment and the wall to the side 50 cm and rear must be 36 cm. The minimum distance to other objects at the front must be 2 m.
5.1. Installing the activated charcoal filter (Fig. 4)
- Remove the top filter cover from the unit (1)
●Take the activated charcoal filter out of the bag (2)
●Fit the activated charcoal filter on the rear of the unit (3)
●Secure the top filter cover back on the unit (4)
5.2. Installing the exhaust air hose (Fig. 5)
Use only the supplied exhaust air hose ( 120 mm). The length of the exhaust air hose can be varied from between 360 mm to 1500 mm. For the most effective cooling the hose should be as short as possible. Avoid kinks are excessive bends in the hose so that the exhaust air can be transferred out without hindrance. If you ignore this advice, the device as a whole may overheat and shut down. This could result in damage to the device.
Warning!
The length of the exhaust air hose is matched to the technical specifications of the device. Never extend the hose as this could lead to malfunctions or faults on the device.
Under certain circumstances a partial vacuum may develop in the room, which will lead to a reduction in the cooling performance of the device. To prevent this from happening you must ensure that there is a supply of air to the room (leave the door to the room slightly open).
Fitting the exhaust air hose through an open window (Fig. 6)
- Secure the exhaust air hose to the connection opening for the exhaust air hose by turning it anti-clockwise.
- Secure the exhaust air hose to the feed-through ring (3) by turning it anti-clockwise. Use the foam parts and shorten them if required. Insert the feed-through ring into the foam opening. The warm air will be removed to the outdoors. Secure
the window so that the foam is kept firmly in place.
Note: Take appropriate precautions to prevent unauthorized entry through the window.
Installing the exhaust air hose through the window or wall (Fig. 7/8)
●Cut or chisel a hole with a diameter of approx. 130 mm in the window or wall.
- Secure the exhaust air hose to the connection opening for the exhaust air hose by turning it anti-clockwise.
●Guide the exhaust air hose (1) through the window or wall (2) and secure it on the outside to the feed-through ring (3) by turning it anticlockwise.
●Screw the feed-through ring to the external wall.
●Place the cover cap on the outside end of the feed-through ring when the unit is not being used.

6.8 SETTING THE AIR FLOW DIRECTION (Fig. 10)
The vertical direction of the air flow is determined by the vertical ventilation grille. It has to be adjusted by hand.
6.9 Draining the condensate in the condensate tray (Fig. 11)
For the cooling mode the device is fitted with a condensate return unit. When the system is in operation the condensate is collected in a trough (approx. contents 1.2 liters) integrated in the device. From there it is evaporated by the condenser and transferred outside by the exhaust air hose.
Note:
If the humidity in the room exceeds 85% (RH), a condensate drainage hose (see section "6.10") is absolutely essential.
ALL OF THE CONDENSATE MUST BE DRAINED OFF BEFORE YOU EVER RELOCATE OR STOP USING THE DEVICE.
Note:
When the condensate tray is full the compressor and the fan motor shut down. The "W.F." LED flashes and a signal sounds. The signal can be disabled by pressing any button. The unit will then be shut down completely.
GB
When this happens, empty the tray as described below:
- Switch off the unit, pull the plug and do not move the unit.
- Push a container under the drain screw (1).
- Unscrew the drain screw (1).
- Remove the rubber bung (2) from the drain opening (3).
- The condensate runs into the container. If the container is smaller than the condensate tray, seal the drain opening (3) with the rubber bung (2) and empty the container. Then repeat the process from point 4.
- Once the condensate tray has been completely emptied, fit the bung (2) and the drainage screw (1) again.
- Start the unit again. The "W.F." LED will no longer flash.
6.10 Draining the condensate with a hose (Fig. 12-14)
ALL THE CONDENSATE MUST HAVE BEEN DRAINED BEFORE YOU START THE FOLLOWING PROCESS.
- Switch off the unit and pull the power plug.
- Unscrew the drain screw (1).
- Remove the rubber bung (2) from the drain opening (3).
- Connect the condensate drainage hose (4) and secure it with a clip
- The drainage hose can be extended with a hose (5) with a diameter of 18mm. If you do so, make sure you use a suitable connector.
Note:
The drainage hose must run to the outside with a slight fall. The "Condensate tray full" indicator is not operational.
7. Cleaning, maintenance and ordering of spare parts
To avoid an electric shock or risk of fire, always pull out the mains plug first before starting any cleaning work.
7.1 Cleaning the air filter (fig. 15)
The air conditioner is fitted with 2 filters.
