1. This unit is exclusively intended for household use.

2. A mobile air conditioner needs air to be able to discharge heat to

the outside! Therefore, never use a mobile air conditioner in an airproof room. Always make sure there is sufficient ventilation. Without sufficient ventilation, a vacuum is created in an airproof room, while a mobile air conditioner is operating, and this vacuum can disrupt the safe operation of geysers, extractors, mechanical ventilation systems, ovens, fireplaces and gas heaters. The vacuum can cause the exhaust gases, which these appliances usually discharge to the outside, to wind up either partially or entirely in the room.

3. Always ensure (even during transport!) that the unit remains

upright. If the unit has been lying on its side, wait 2 hours before using. This time is required in order for the compressor to function correctly.

recommendations of the manufacturer of the device. Maintenance and repairs that require the assistance of other qualified persons must be executed under supervision of someone who is specialised in the use of flammable coolant. Maximum effect The maximum surface area, which this air conditioner can cool, depends on various conditions. Conditions that cause the air conditioner to cool smaller spaces are, for example: - Higher outdoor temperature - Many and/or large windows - Flat roof - Many people in the room - Many electrical appliances in the room If these conditions are present to a lesser extent (i.e. lower heat loads), the air conditioner can cool a larger surface area better than if more of these conditions are present (i.e. higher heat loads).

Installation The EUROM PAC 7.2 and PAC 9.2 are mobile air conditioning/ dehumidifying units that can be moved from room to room. Install as follows: Remove all packaging material, keep it away from children and ensure that the unit remains in an upright position. Before use, check that all accessories are present and that there is no damage to the accessories or the unit itself. Do not use a damaged unit; take it back to your supplier! Place the unit on a sturdy, flat, dry and horizontal base near an electrical socket and a discharge point for hot air, e.g. a window that can be opened slightly. Make sure that the unit has at least 30 cm of free space on all sides and take all safety instructions into account.21

Dehumidification To use the dehumidification function, connect the water drain hose to the water drainage point (9). This hose should lead to a bucket or drain. The hose should not run upwards! Your unit is now ready for use. Caution: When using dehumidifier mode, the outlet hose hot air also needs to be placed outside. The moisture the device extracts from the air inside the room is pulled outside through the air drain hose. The remaining moisture is only drained using the drainage valve if not all of the moisture can be led outside through the drainage hose. Cooling In order to use the cooling function, you do not need to connect the water drainage hose. Place window kit in the window opening, see diagram. The length of the window kitl can be adjusted from 67.5 to 123 cm.

Screw on the connector for the air conditioner on one end and the connector for the window panel on the other end of the outlet hose. Slide the connector for the air conditioner into the appropriate slot on the rear of the unit. Secure the other end of the outlet hose in the window panel opening so that it can remove hot air outside. You can also hang the outlet hose out of an open window; this method is less efficient however. Avoid bends or pinches in the pipe. These will lead to a build-up of damp, waste air which can cause leaks, overheating or lead to the air conditioning unit switching off. Don’t forget about preventing access to burglars!22 Operation Operation panel Remote control

The operational panel and the remote control have the same buttons

4. Receiver remote control (only on operational panel)

8. Battery cavity (AAA-1,5V 2x) (only in remote control)

W.F – ‘Tank full’ light, see page 23 (only on operational panel) The operational panel also has 7 indicator lights that show which settings are active and a display (Led display) that shows any values set. Before using the air conditioner, check: That it has been installed according to safety instructions That it is not damaged or broken That the electrical socket that you wish to use has the same voltage as is given on the unit’s specification plate (220-240V / 50Hz) That no other devices are connected to the same socket If this has all been checked, you can insert the plug into the socket. Start the unit by pressing on the ON/OFF button. Use the Function selector button to choose a specific function: cool, dehumidify or fan. Every time you press the button, the function changes. The lights show which function is active. If you are cooling or dehumidifying, wait for up to 3 minutes after switching on or off before switching the unit on or off again. The compressor needs this time to recover. Use the Fan speed button to set the fan to high or low. If you wish to cool, you can use increase or decrease the temperature using the Temperature up/down buttons. Every time you press these buttons, the set23 temperature will increase or decrease by one degree. The display shows the value set. The temperature can be set to between 16 and 31°C. If you wish to dehumidify, press the function selector button until the ‘dehum’ light comes on. Check that the water outlet hose is correctly connected, see page 23! The temperature will be automatically set to 2 degrees below room temperature (16°C to 31°C). The fan speed will be automatically set to ‘LOW’. Caution: Because the temperature in the dehumidifier setting is set automatically to 2 degrees below room temperature, the device will cool down the room. Using the functions ‘cooling’ and ‘dehumidifying’, the apparatus will occasionally stop in order to protect the compressor. The apparatus will restart after approx. 3 minutes. Do NOT change any settings in the meantime! If you set the apparatus to ‘cooling’ or ‘dehumidifying’, it will continuously operate unless: - The room temperature becomes lower than the set temperature. - The timer is set to a final time. If you wish to ventilate, use the function selector button to choose ‘fan’; you can then set fan speed to high or low using the fan speed button. The Timer button allows you to automatically start or stop the air conditioner at a set time. Automatic start: First set at which temperature and in which mode (cooling, dehumidifying or heating) you want the air conditioner to start. Switch off the air conditioner using the <On/Off> button. Now the air conditioner is in the stand-by position. Press the <Timer> button. Using the <Up> and <Down> buttons, set the number of hours after which the air conditioner has to start (1-24 hours). Press the <Timer> button once again. The displays of the air conditioner shows the set number of hours. The air conditioner will automatically start with the entered settings after the lapsing of the set number of hours. Automatic stop: Press the <Timer> button while the air conditioner is operating. Using the <Up> and <Down> buttons, set the number of hours after which the air conditioner has to stop (1-24 hours). Press the <Timer> button once again. The displays of the air conditioner shows the set number of hours. The air conditioner will automatically stop after the lapsing of the set number of hours.24 Water outlet During the cooling process, the device removes water from the air. This largely evaporates but any excess water is collected in the water reservoir. If the water reservoir in the device is full, the compressor and the motor will stop automatically and the ‘water tank full’ light (W.F.) will come on. In this event, switch the air conditioning unit off and remove the plug from the socket. Empty the water tank by removing the cap from the water drainage point (see picture) and draining the tank into a drain or receptacle. Do not forget to replace the cap again afterwards! You can then switch the air conditioning unit back on. When dehumidifying, more water is removed from the air. This is why you must connect a hose to the water drainage hose during dehumidifying and run this to a drain (at a lower point). Safety The PAC 7.2 and PAC 9.2 are fitted with an overheating safeguard that switches the unit off if it overheats. If this should occur, you must remove the plug from the socket and leave the equipment to cool for at least 30 minutes. Remove the cause of overheating - has the device been (partially) covered? Is it too close to a wall or another obstacle, preventing it sucking in or dispelling sufficient air? You can then use the device normally again but keep an eye on it for the first 30 minutes to ensure there are no further problems. If the device is showing signs of problems or the overheating recurs, even though there is no obvious assignable cause, ask your supplier or a recognised electrician to check/repair the unit. Cleaning and maintenance Note! Before cleaning or carrying out maintenance work on the air conditioning unit, always switch off and remove the plug from the socket! Regular cleaning is vital in order to keep the unit in good working order! Cleaning the housing Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the housing. Never use aggressive cleaning products, petrol, detergent, chemically-impregnated cloths or other cleaning solutions. These could damage the housing. Never spray the unit and ensure that water never penetrates the device! Dry the unit with a soft cloth.25 Cleaning the filter Clean the filter once every two weeks; a unit with a dirty filter will never work properly. The filter can be found behind the air inlet grilles on the side. You can easily open these grilles and remove the filter. Use a vacuum cleaner or gently beat the filter to remove loose dust and dirt. Rinse the filter with tepid water (not hotter than 40°C) with a mild, neutral cleaning product. Let the filter dry thoroughly in the shade before replacing in the unit. Take care! Never use the air conditioning unit without the filter! End of season cleaning If the device is to be stored for a long period, you must take the following measures! Remove the condensed water. Run the unit for a few hours on fan function so that the unit is completely dry inside. Then switch the air conditioning unit off and remove the plug from the socket. Clean the filter and reposition them or replace with a new one. Unscrew the waste pipe from the device in order to prevent damage. Pack the air conditioning unit in its original packaging or in a plastic bag and place in a dry place for storage. Place a heavy object on the unit. Remove the batteries from the remote control. Store the device in a room smaller than 4m² (PAC 7.2) / 12m² (PAC 9.2). Trouble shooting The unit does not start if I press the ON/OFF button Is the plug in the socket? Is the earth leakage circuit breaker engaged? No power? Is the water tank full? Empty it. The room temperature is lower than the set temperature; amend the set temperature. The unit doesn’t seem to be very effective Measure the outlet temperature; this must be approx. 10° cooler than room temperature. Is there direct sunlight? Shut the curtains. Are windows or doors open? Shut them. Are there too many people in the room? They produce heat! Is the space too big? Is there an object in the room that is generating (a great deal of) heat? Switch it off or remove it. Is the filter dusty or covered in dirt? Clean it. Is the air inlet or outlet (hose) blocked? Make sure there is free air flow.26 The unit is making a noise Is the surface underneath the machine sturdy and even? The flow of coolant in the unit also produces a little noise. This is perfectly normal. The unit switches itself off The overheating safeguard may have switched the unit off. See ‘Safety’. Error code E0 The temperature sensor is broken. Have it replaced. The unit works without temperature setting. Error code E2 The water tank is full. Switch the unit off and empty it manually. Switch it on again. NEVER ATTEMPT TO REPAIR THE DEVICE YOURSELF!
