B INSTALLATION

WARNING

Before using the air conditioner it should be left in an upright position for at least 2 hours.

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.
2 Do not operate the unit inside the bathroom, shower, or in any other very humid environment.
3 Please keep a distance of 50 cm between the unit and the wall or other objects to ensure proper air circulation.
4 Insert both ends of the air exhaust hose in the round connectors. Fasten the connectors by turning them clockwise onto the hose.
5 Insert one round connector 9 in the backside of the unit 7. Fasten the other connector 9 to the window air outlet 11.
6 Ensure that the window air outlet has a free flow outside. Close the window or door as much as possible to prevent outside air from entering the room.

IMPORTANT

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.

AIR FILTER

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.

NOTEI

• 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.

E AIR FLOW

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

F EMPTY INTERNAL WATER CONTAINER

Under extreme (environmental) circumstances it may be necessary to empty the internal water container regularly. When the internal water container is full the

A light will flash and the unit will beep continuously. The unit will switch off automatically. To empty the water container do the following:

1 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.
4 Remove the rubber plug 8 from the drain tube and let the water run out. (± 0.5 litres).
Replace the rubber plug, put the plug into the wall outlet, and switch on the unit. The warning light should be off.

NOTE!

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

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.
3 Remove the rubber plug 8.
4 Connect a drain tube ( 15mm) 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 return 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.

HCLEANING

WARNING!

First of all switch off the unit and pull the plug.

Clean the housing with a soft, damp cloth. Never use aggressive chemicals, petrol, detergents or other cleansing solutions. Clean the screenfilter regularly with a vacuum cleaner. See also chapter D "Air filter".

NOTE!

Never use the air conditioner without screenfilter.

STORAGE

2 Clean and replace the filter.
3 Put the unit in air circulation mode for a couple of hours to ensure that the inside becomes completely dry.
