3. Important safety instructions

Read and comply with the safety instructions before you start to use the equipment. Keep the operating instructions in a safe place once you have read them and give them to all third parties who may also operate the air conditioner. Position the equipment in such a way that the mains plug is accessible at all times. Check the mains lead at regular intervals for signs of defects or damage. A damaged mains lead may only be replaced by an electrician or ISC GmbH in compliance with the relevant regulations. This equipment is not designed for commercial use. The equipment must never be used in bathrooms. Children or infirm persons may use the equipment only under supervision. Children are not allowed to use the equipment as a toy. The air conditioner is only suitable for air- conditioning in small- to medium-sized rooms. Never use it for special purposes such as for the storage of food, precision instruments, plants, animals, paints or works of art, since they could become damaged. Check that the actual mains voltage is the same as the mains voltage specified on the rating plate. The equipment may only be operated from a properly earthed shock-proof socket. For electrical safety purposes we recommend that you install a residual current device circuit-

breaker (earth-leakage circuit-breaker). Important! Do not extend the cable and never use multiple plugs. Otherwise there is a risk that electrical safety can no longer be guaranteed. Never pull the mains plug out of the socket while the equipment is running. In the event of any abnormalities in the operation of the equipment (e.g. smell of burning), immediately switch off the equipment and pull the plug. There is a risk of electric shock or fire damage if the equipment is allowed to continue running with possible defects. Never pull the plug out of the socket by pulling the cable. Hold the mains plug firmly to pull it out of the socket. Otherwise there is a risk of damaging the cable. Never actuate any switches with wet hands. Otherwise there is a danger of an electric shock. Never allow the cool air to blow directly at you and do not allow the air in the room to become too cold. This may lead to discomfort and may also be harmful to health. Never place and plants or animals directly in the path of the flow of cool air. Plants or animals may suffer under the effect of the flow of cool air. Never poke fingers or objects in the air outlet vents. The rotating fan can cause injuries. Never attempt to repair the air conditioner yourself. Improper repair and maintenance work can result in damage to the equipment and cause fires or damage from condensation water. Always switch off the equipment and pull the plug before you start to clean it (risk of injury). Never clean the air conditioner with water. This could result in an electric shock or fire. Do not use any inflammable agents for cleaning purposes as they could cause a fire or deformation. Never touch any metal parts on the inside of the equipment when removing the air filter. You may injure yourself. If the air conditioner is used for a lengthy period of time the room has to be ventilated every now and then, otherwise there is a risk of lack of oxygen. Never install the equipment in a room in which combustible gases can be emitted. Emitted gases may collect and cause an explosion. Never hold any burning objects close to the equipment if they could be directly affected by the emitted air. This may result in their not being completely burnt. Pull the mains plug out of the socket if the equipment is not going to be used for some time. Always switch off the equipment and pull out the power plug during a storm. Electrical parts may get damaged as a result of overvoltage. If the coolant circuit should develop a leak, switch off the equipment immediately and contact your service partner. There is a risk of harmful gas being generated if any of the coolant escapes and comes into contact with a flame. Switch off the equipment immediately. To avoid electromagnetic interference the device should be kept away from televisions and radios. Packaging: The unit is supplied in packaging to prevent it from being damaged in transit. Retain the packaging for later storage (e.g. in winter) of the device. If you should nevertheless wish to dispose of the packaging, remember that it is raw material and can therefore be reused or can be returned to the raw material system.

This air is conveyed to the outside air heat- exchanger (condenser). This transfers the heat to the air outside via the exhaust air hose which is connected to the device and leads out to the open air. Tips on saving energy Only use the air conditioner when you really need to. Close all windows, doors and Venetian blinds in order to reduce incoming sunlight as far as possible.

5. Starting the equipment (Fig. 1 – 4)

Notes: Please note that the minimum distance between the equipment and the wall to the side and rear must be 50 cm. The minimum distance to other objects at the front must be 2 m. Check that both stoppers (item 9 and 10) for the continuous condensation drain and the connection for the condensation tray drain are present and secure. Use the cooling mode only within the specified area of application (see technical data). Before moving the device the condensation collection tray must be emptied completely. To protect the compressor it will not start until the device has been switched on for three minutes. Plug the mains plug into the mains socket outlet and the “POWER” LED shines red. You can switch the device on with the function switch. As soon as the device is switched on the “RUN” LED will light up. To switch the device off, turn the function switch to “OFF”. After turning the function switch from cooling mode to fan mode, you must wait at least 3 minutes before resetting the function switch to cooling mode. If the equipment was switched off after running in cooling mode, you must wait at least 3 minutes before reselecting the cooling mode. In cooling mode the room temperature should be no more than 5°C below the outdoor temperature. The lowest possible room temperature that can be achieved with the cooling function is approx. 20°C. The lowest possible room temperature depends on local conditions, the outdoor temperature and the prevailing room temperature before the cooling function is switched on. The higher the outdoor temperature, the higher the attainable room temperature. Operation:

1. Screw the exhaust air adapter for the window

anticlockwise onto the exhaust air hose. Then screw the exhaust air hose anti-clockwise into the connection opening on the reverse of the air conditioner. Please note. The end of the exhaust air hose must be placed outdoors whilst the device is in cooling mode so that the warm exhaust air can flow outwards (see section 6).

2. Set the function switch to:

a) Fan speed fast or fan speed slow if you want to use the air conditioner as a fan without cooling. b) Cooling mode with fan speed fast or cooling mode with fan speed slow if you want to use the cooling function.

3. You can adjust the air outlet fins horizontally

upwards or downwards.

6. Installing the exhaust air hose

Use only the supplied exhaust air hose. The length of the exhaust air hose can be varied between 375 mm and 1,200 mm. First screw the exhaust air hose for the window anticlockwise into the hose and then screw the hose into the connection opening on the reverse of the air conditioner (Fig. 6). For maximum cooling performance the exhaust hose should be as short as possible. Avoid kinks and excessive bends in the hose (Fig. 5) so that the exhaust air can be transferred out without hindrance.

Anleitung MKA 2001M_SPK1:_ 28.02.2007 14:57 Uhr Seite 13If you ignore this advice, the equipment as a whole may overheat and shut down. This could result in damage to the equipment. Important! 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) Use the exhaust air adapter for the window and the extendible window adapter. Slide the exhaust air adapter for the window over the exhaust air hose. Open the window slightly and clamp the window adapter in the gap. Secure the window so that the window adapter is kept firmly in place. Insert the exhaust air adapter for the window in the opening provided in the window adapter. Note: Take appropriate precautions to prevent unauthorized entry through the window.

7. Condensate return

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. When the trough is full, the equipment switches off automatically and the LED “FULL” comes on. Proceed as follows (Fig. 7): Unplug the device. Place a suitable container beneath the condensate drain (1) and remove the plug (2). The trough then empties. Reinsert the plug in the condensate drain. The device is now ready for operation again. Note: Under normal circumstances the condensate trough never becomes full in cooling mode. However, if this should happen, please contact your customer services workshop.

8. Cleaning by the end user

To avoid an electric shock or risk of fire, always pull out the mains plug first before starting any cleaning work . A) Cleaning the air filter (Fig. 8) The air conditioner is fitted with a filter. Important: Never use the device without air filters. Use a vacuum cleaner or tap the dust filter gently to remove the dust. If the filter is very dirty, wash it carefully with warm water. Then allow to dry thoroughly. B) Cleaning the housing Use only gentle cleaner and a soft cloth to clean the housing. Never use aggressive media, petrol, alcohol or thinner. Only fit the filter back in place when thoroughly dry. C) At the end of the season At the end of the season, let the device run for approx. 3 hours in the fan function (FAN). Then roll up the power cable and store it in the storage compartment provided at the back of the device. Place a suitable container beneath the condensate drain and remove the plug. The trough then empties (see Chapter 7). Re-insert the plug in the condensate drain. Important: If the plug is not inserted or is not inserted correctly, water will escape the next time the device is used again. Clean the filter and the housing. Re-insert the filter when thoroughly dry. Store the device in an upright position, preferably packed in the original box, in a dry and dust-tight location.

If the device is operated properly you should experience no problems with malfunctions or faults. In the event of any malfunctions or faults, please check the following before you contact your customer services.
