I N S TA L L AT I O N This unit is portable and can easily be moved from one room to another. In doing so keep this in mind: Ensure that the unit is positioned upright and on a level surface. Do not operate the unit inside the bathroom, shower, or in any other very humid environment. Please keep a distance of 50 cm between the unit and the wall or other objects to ensure proper air circulation. Insert both ends of the air exhaust hose J in the round connectors 9. Fasten the connectors by turning them clockwise onto the hose. Insert one round connector 9 in the backside of the unit 7. Fasten the other connector 9 to the window air outlet K. E n s u r e that the window air outlet K has a free flow outside. Close the window or door as much as possible to prevent outside air from entering the room.

I M P O R TA N T The flexible exhaust hose should be less than 1m during operation, which provides the best performance. This length has been designed especially according to the specifications of the air conditioner. Do not use an extension or exchange for a different hose as that may lead to malfunctioning. The exhaust air must flow freely, any blockage can lead to overheating of the air conditioner. Take care to prevent any bow or bend in the exhaust hose.

WA R N I N G Before using the air conditioner it should be left in an upright position for at least 2 hours.

• Never use the device with a damaged power cord, plug, cabinet or control panel. Never trap the power cord or allow it to come into contact with sharp edges.

• Never seal the room - where this device will be used - completely airtight. This will prevent under pressure in this room. Under pressure can disrupt the safe operation of geysers, ventilation systems, ovens, etc.

• Failing to follow the instructions may lead to nullification of the guarantee on this device.C O P E R AT I O N Insert the plug into the wall outlet.

Fifteen seconds after setting the required temperature, the display will show the room temperature. DEHUMIDIFYING When the unit is primarily used as a dehumidifier, then please follow these i n s t r uctions: Do not connect the air exhaust hose and let the warm air go back into the room. Connect a drainage hose onto the permanent drain connector on the back of the unit (refer to Chapter G). When the unit is in the dehumidifying mode, the fan speed cannot be adjusted. The fanspeed will be automatically set on ‘Medium setting’. The buttons and can also not be adjusted. AIR CIRCULATION In this mode the unit only circulates air; the unit will not cool or dehumidify. When the unit is in this mode, the following functions apply:

The air conditioner is equipped with a screen mesh to filter dust particles from the room air and to keep the internals of the unit clean. With normal usage the screen mesh filter has to be cleaned every two weeks with a vacuum cleaner. If the filter is not cleaned regularly the filter may block the air flow.

AIR FLOW Move the air vent directly to adjust the air flow direction of the horizontal louvres.

EMPTY INTERNAL WATER CONTA I N E R Under extreme (environmental) circumstances it may be necessary to empty the i n t e r nal water container re g u l a r l y. When the internal water container is full the light will flash and the unit will beep continously. The unit will switch off automatically. To empty the water container do the following: Do not move the unit. Drastic movements can cause water leakage. Switch off the unit and remove the plug from the wall outlet. Place a pan or appropriate tray on the floor underneath the permanent drain tube. Remove the rubber plug 8 f rom the drain tube and let the water run out. (±

Replace the rubber plug 8, put the plug into the wall outlet, and switch on the unit. The warning light should be off.

• Remove the active carbon filter before seasonal storage and install a new filter at the beginning of the new season. The old filter can be disposed in the ‘Non-biological garbage container’ .

• Never use the airconditioner without the screen filter.

• Using the unit without the activated carbon filter will not damage your airconditioner. In that case, airborne micro-organisms are not neutralised and unpleasant odours are not removed.

• Only use suitable Tectro filters. This will prevent damage to your airconditioner.

• Suitable filter packages are available at your dealer.G CONTINUOUS DRAINAGE Switch off the unit and remove the plug from the mains. Place a pan or appropriate tray on the floor underneath the permanent drain tube to collect any water draining away. Remove the rubber plug 8. Connect a drain tube (ø 15 mm) into the water outlet and extend with extra water tube as needed. Place the other end of the drain tube at a location suitable for the purpose (a drain hole, for instance). In doing so, take care to ensure that the tube is not twisted and is free of kinks. The tube must be placed so as to be declining along its entire length. DEHUMIDIFICATION If the unit will be used mainly as dehumidifier, do not connect the exhaust hose and let the warm air re t u r n in the room. Continuous drainage is then necessary and more efficient. You must, however, use a water drain tube (ø 0.5 inch internal diameter), placing its discharge end at a suitable drainage point.

C L E A N I N G Clean the housing with a soft, damp cloth. Never use aggressive chemicals, petrol, d e t e r gents or other cleansing solutions. Clean the screenfilter regularly with a vacuum cleaner. See also chapter D “Air filter”.

N O T E ! Never use the air conditioner without screenfilter.

WA R N I N G ! First of all switch off the unit and pull the plug.

N O T E ! When the air conditioner is in use, under normal circumstances the condensed water will be drained through the air outlet-tube.

S T O R A G E Empty the internal water container (refer to Chapter F) Clean and replace the filter. Put the unit in air circulation mode for a couple of hours to ensure that the inside becomes completely dry. S t o r e cable as shown, protect the unit against dust and store in a dry place not accessible to children.
