TURNING THE APPLIANCE ON

Before plugging the appliance, check that the caps on the back of the unit are correctly inserted and screwed on the drainage hose 10.

Plug into the electrical receptacle. Two lines appear on the display indicating that the appliance is in stand-by. Press the ON/OFF button (A). When turned on, the air conditioner starts operating in the same mode as when it was turned off. Press the MODE button (B) until the light corresponding to the desired mode lights up:

Light (0): air-conditioning mode

Light (P): dehumidifying mode

Light (N): fan mode

AIR CONDITIONING MODE

Ideal for hot muggy weather when you need to cool and dehumidify the room.

The display shows the inner temperature: the light (S) turns on. To modify the set temperature, push the (E) or (F) button to reach the desired temperature. The (T) light turns on and the (S) light turns off.

To change from °F to °C or vice versa, press for a few seconds both buttons E and F.

After 15 seconds, the inner temperature is shown on the display.

The (S) light turns on.

You can adjust the temperature only in air conditioning mode. Then select the fan speed by pressing the FAN button (C) until the light corresponding to the required fan speed lights up:

MAX: the

air conditioner operates at maximum to achieve the target temperature as rapidly as possible

MED:

reduces noise levels while maintaining a comfortable temperature

MIN: for silent operation

The most suitable indoor temperature for the room during the summer varies from 75°F to 81°F (24 to 27°C). 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 (spring or autumn, damp rooms, rainy spells, etc). When the dehumidifying mode is selected, the light (P) comes on. In this mode, with room temperature above 77°F (25°C), the fan speed is adjustable. If

the temperature is below, fan speed is selected automatically by the appliance and cannot be set manually. In dehumidifying mode, the appliance MUST be set up in the same way as for air conditioning, with the air exhaust hose 12 attached.
