equired temperature, the display will show the room temperature.

It depends on the envir onment whether the r equir ed temperatur e will be r eached. It is not a malfunction of the air conditioner if the r oom temperatur e remains above the “set temp”.

IMPORTANT The condensation water must flow freely. Blockage of the drainage tube can result in water leakage or improper operation of the unit.

hen 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. The water which is extracted from the air is pumped to the outdoor unit through

he connection tube. Ensure that the water has a free flow outside and it is not cause of any danger or inconvenience. AIR CIRCULATION In this mode the unit only circulates air; the unit will not cool or dehumidify. The air entering the unit is not cooled or dehumidified, but is filtered.

When the room temperature rises above the selected value, the cooling will work again.

The air conditioner is fitted with a 2-layer filter to purify the circulating air.

1. Screen filter – to remove larger dust particles.

2. Active carbon filter – to remove odours.

The filter holder at the back of the indoor unit can be opened. The active carbon filter can then be removed. The screen filter is a part of the filter holder. The screen filter must be cleaned regularly with a vacuum cleaner in order to prevent blockage of the air flow. If it has become dusty, the active carbon filter can be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner. For an optimum result, we recommend that you replace this filter regularly.

Move the indoor unit to change the air flow direction. F DRAINAGE Under normal conditions the condensation water is pumped to the outdoor unit through the connection tube. When the water flow is blocked or the position of the outdoor unit is too high, water may accumulate in the indoor water container of the unit. When the internal water container is full the light will flash and the unit will beep continuously. The unit will switch off automatically.

• New active carbon filters are available from your dealer.

• Using the unit without the active carbon filter will not damage the air conditioner.
