3. Proper use

The air-conditioning system is only designed to air-condition dry rooms. The room volume depends on the local conditions. Large window areas, additional heat sources (PC, television, people, etc.), poor wall insulation, etc. serve to reduce this room volume.

The equipment is to be used only for its prescribed purpose. Any other use is deemed to be a case of misuse. The user / operator and not the manufacturer will be liable for any damage or injuries of any kind caused as a result of this.

Please note that our equipment has not been designed for use in commercial, trade or industrial applications. Our warranty will be voided if the machine is used in commercial, trade or industrial businesses or for equivalent purposes.

4. Before starting the equipment

Before you connect the equipment to the mains supply make sure that the data on the rating plate are identical to the mains data.
Always place the portable device on a firm, horizontal footing.
The machine must always be in an upright position.
- Never tilt the device by more than 45^
- Whenever the device has been transported (inclined positions), leave for at least one hour before connecting to a socket outlet.
- In the cooling function the warm exhaust air must be transferred outside by the exhaust air hose. An opening in the wall or window must therefore be provided.
- Please note that the minimum distance between the equipment and the wall to the side 50~cm and rear must be 50~cm . The minimum distance to other objects at the front must be 2m .

4.1 Installing the activated charcoal filter (Fig. 4)

1. Take out the filter frame
2. Remove the filter fastener from the filter frame
3. Take the carbon filter out of the bag
4. Place the carbon filter in the filter frame
5. Fasten the filter with the filter fastener
6. Slide in the filter frame

4.2. Installing the exhaust air hose (Fig. 5)

Use only the supplied exhaust air hose. The length of the exhaust air hose can be varied from between 500mm to 1500mm . For the most effective cooling the hose should be as short as possible. Avoid kinks are excessive bends in the hose so that the exhaust air can be transferred out without hindrance. If you ignore this advice, the device as a whole may overheat and shut down. This could result in damage to the device.

Warning!

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)

• Secure the exhaust air hose to the connection opening for the exhaust air hose by turning it clockwise.
• Use the exhaust air adapter for the window and the extendible window adapter. Fasten the air adapter for the window to the exhaust air hose by turning it clockwise. 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.

Accessory:

Note: Take appropriate precautions to prevent unauthorized entry through the window.

Fitting the exhaust air hose through the wall

We recommend that you use a suitable telescopic duct with automatic shutter and wall connection (available at your DIY store) to which you can connect the hose without using the exhaust air adapter for the window.

The horizontal direction of the air flow is determined by the horizontal ventilation grille. It has to be adjusted by hand.

5.10 Draining the condensate in the condensate tray (Fig. 8)

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 0.85 liters) integrated in the device. From there it is evaporated by the condenser and transferred outside by the exhaust air hose.

Note:

If the humidity in the room exceeds 85% (RH), a condensate drainage hose (see section "5.11") is absolutely essential.

ALL OF THE CONDENSATE MUST BE DRAINED OFF BEFORE YOU EVER RELOCATE OR STOP USING THE DEVICE.

Note:

When the condensate tray is full the compressor and the fan motor shut down. The "F.W." LED flashes and a signal sounds. The signal can be disabled by pressing any button. The unit will then be shut down completely.

When this happens, empty the tray as described below:

1. Switch off the unit, pull the plug and do not move the unit.
2. Push a container under the drain screw (1).
3. Unscrew the drain screw (1).
4. Remove the rubber bung (2) from the drain opening (3).
5. The condensate runs into the container. If the container is smaller than the condensate tray, seal the drain opening (3) with the rubber bung (2) and empty the container. Then repeat the process from point 4.
6. Once the condensate tray has been completely emptied, fit the bung (2) and the drainage screw (1) again.
7. Start the unit again. The "F.W." LED will no longer flash.

5.11 Draining the condensate with a hose (Fig. 8-10)

ALL THE CONDENSATE MUST HAVE BEEN DRAINED BEFORE YOU START THE FOLLOWING PROCESS.

1. Switch off the unit and pull the power plug.
2. Unscrew the drain screw (1).
3. Remove the rubber bung (2) from the drain opening (3).
4. Connect the condensate drainage hose (4) and secure it with a clip
5. The drainage hose can be extended with a hose (5) with a diameter of 18mm . If you do so, make sure you use a suitable connector.

Note:

The drainage hose must run to the outside with a slight fall. The "Condensate tray full" indicator is not operational.
