Attention!

This appliance is not suitable for dehumidification at ambient temperatures of below 18^ .

After turning your appliance off, wait at least 3 minutes before turning it back on again. The cold circuit needs this amount of time in order to reset.

MOBILITY

The appliance is fitted with wheels which allow it to be moved about. Should it be necessary to tilt the appliance when moving it, the internal water tank will have to be emptied beforehand with the help of the drain pipe (fig.A,3) placed onto the drain cock (fig.A,7) at the bottom of the appliance, as shown in (fig K). Once the appliance has been put back into the upright position leave it to stand for a few minutes before switching it back on.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

INSTALLATION

A) Hinge or sash windows (fig. L)

• Connect the diffuser sleeve to the warm air expulsion pipe.
• Open the window slightly and place the sleeve between the jamb and the frame.
• Close the window as far as possible and hold it with the suction cup supplied.

B) Sliding windows (fig. M)

• Connect the diffuser sleeve to the warm air expulsion pipe.
• Fit the sliding window installation accessory using the side of the window frame to support it and then adjust it to the right height.
• Close the window as far as possible and insert the diffuser sleeve through the outlet hole.

C) Fixed installation

• Use the optional window/wall sleaving accessory which can be purchased from your usual supplier of electrical appliances. (Ref.: B1RKZ06009)
• It will be necessary to make a hole in the wall to accommodate the hot air pipe sleeve (Fig. 1).

• Take the diffuser sleeve off and connect the warm air expulsion pipe to the accessory.

• When the installation goes through a window, you only need to use the transparent end piece of the accessory. Under these circumstances it will be necessary to cut a hole in the glass, 10.5cm diameter (Fig. J)

Notes:

• Try not overstretch the outlet pipe (maximum length 140cm ) nor bend it too sharply. This will impede the passage of the warm air and reduce the cooling efficiency.
• There must be a distance of at least 70~cm between the floor and the end of the duct.
• Adequate ventilation will have to be provided for small rooms, e.g. leaving the door ajar, in order to avoid creating a low pressure which will reduce the cooling efficiency.

Attention!

Do not cover the appliance's air intakes or outlets.

AIR-CONDITIONING

• Plug the appliance in.
• Run the warm air expulsion pipe to the outside (figs. L,M,J)
• Select either the maximum (） or silent（） air-conditioning function.
• Turn the drain cock to the refrigeration position (fig. F).
• Set the thermostat (fig. B,D) to the desired temperature. Should the thermostat setting cause the appliance to switch itself off automatically, you will have to wait until the room temperature rises by 2 - 3^ before it switches itself back on again.

The appliance cools and dehumidifies the air within the room at the same time in order to create a pleasant climate.

The water produced during this process by condensation is led outside and released from the condenser by evaporation.

Under extremely humid conditions the appliance will store up the condensed water in an internal tank. When this reaches a set level the safety lamp (fig.A,14) will light up, indicating that the said tank will have to be emptied, which is done as follows:

• Turn the thermostat to the ① position and wait 10 minutes to allow the safety systems to reset themselves. (fig. C,E).
• Turn the drain cock (fig.A,10) 90^ to the left (fig. G).
• Take the cap off the cock (9) and inset the drain pipe (fig.A,3) (fig. H- steps A and B).
• Place a container by the outlet of the drain pipe in order to catch the condensed water, (fig. H-step C).
• Select the air-conditioning or dehumidification function.

Attention!

When switching the appliance back to the refrigeration function do not forget to put the cap back onto the drain cock and turn it 90^ to the right. Otherwise water will escape from the appliance when it is switched on. With this done you will have removed the excess water from the system and the appliance can be switched back on for normal operation.

DEHUMIDIFICATION

Set the function control knob to the "Dehumidification" symbol (▲). At this setting, the appliance will only reduce the humidity present in the atmosphere, without affecting the temperature.

• Turn the drain cock (fig.A,10) 90^ to the left (fig. G).

• Take the cap off the cock (fig.A,9) and inset the drain pipe (fig.A,3) (fig. H- steps A and B).

• Place a container by the outlet of the drain pipe in order to catch the condensed water, (fig. H-step C).

• Put the warm air expulsion pipe in the parking position (fig. N).
• Select the dehumidification function ( ).
• As much as 31,2 litres of water can be taken out of the air every 24 hours, depending on the ambient conditions.

Attention!

This appliance is not suitable for dehumidification at ambient temperatures of below 18^ .

When you change back to the «Cooling» function, put the plug back into the drainage nozzle on the outdoor unit.

Should you fail to do so, the appliance will shed water produced by condensation during the cooling process.

AIR PURIFICATION

• On this setting the air inside the room is recirculated through purifying filters.
• The appliance includes a basic filter with a double active purifying filter for: smoke, dust, pollen and bacteria.
• Put the warm air expulsion pipe in the parking position (fig. N).
• Select the ventilation speed: Maximum (★★★) or silent (★★★).
• We recommend leaving the filters installed, independently of the setting chosen (refrigeration, dehumidification or air purification) This will provide you with a more efficient purifying action.

HEATING (AA4020)

In the (≈) position the appliance will heat the air in the room while it filters it.

• Put the warm air expulsion pipe in the parking position (fig. N).
• Select the heating function (≈) .
• Set the thermostat to the desired temperature. Once the room reaches the said temperature the appliance will switch itself off automatically and come back on when it drops by 2 - 3^ .

Attention!

Do not cover the appliance's air intakes or outlets.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

Cleaning and replacing the purification filters

• The inside unit is fitted with a basic air filter (fig A,5), which will require cleaning from time to time. To do this it should be washed under running water, dried and put back.
• The set of purifying filters (fig A,6) will have to be replaced each year. Replacement filters can be obtained from your local supplier. Always use original Ufesa replacement parts. Replacement filters: RKZ09013
• Fit the new filters as shown in (figures O,P).
• Only place one set of filters over the base filter in order to maintain the cooling effect.

Cleaning the appliance

• The appliance can be cleaned down with a cloth or sponge, warm water and a mild detergent.
• Never use hot water (more than 40^ ), benzene, gasoline, acids or brushes, and try to prevent water from getting inside the appliance. Do not clean the appliance down with a hose.
• Clean the outdoor unit before it is put away. To do this, spray a little water on to the heat exchanger.

Before use at the beginning of the season

• Clean the air filter.
• Then clean the cover and grilles, should they need cleaning.

Before storing it away

If you think that the appliance is not going to be used over a long period then it is advisable to empty the internal water tank with the help of the drain pipe (fig A,3) placed onto the drain cock (fig A,7) at the bottom of the appliance, as shown in figure (fig K).
