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.

Place the loose filters in the filter holder.

• Take the filter holder out of the air conditioner

• Open the filter holder and place the active carbon filter (black) and 3M

HAF filter (white) in the filter holder.

• Place the filter fixing component back in the holder.

• Place the filter holder back in the air conditioner.

Do not operate the unit inside the bathroom, shower, or in any other very humid environment.4 Please keep a distance of 50 cm between the unit and the wall or other objects to ensure proper air circulation.

Insert both ends of the air exhaust hose J in the round connectors 9. Fasten the connectors by turning them clockwise onto the hose.

Insert one round connector 9 in the backside of the unit 7. Fasten the other connector 9 to the window air outlet K.

Attach the hose connector K to air outlet 7 at the back of the unit. Lead the hose connector K outside and close the gap with the foam components supplied. These may have to be cut to size.

Keep windows and outside doors closed as much as possible in order to prevent the inflow of exterior air. The air that is intended to enter the room (specifically during the use of a single hose) in order to allow the airconditioner to function correctly must always be as cool as possible. Leading this air through a passage or adjacent room increases the comfort level.

IMPORTANT The flexible air exhaust hose can be stretched to a length of approximately 1500 mm. The length of these hose(s) was calculated on the basis of the capacity of the device. The use of other hoses or extensions may cause faults in the device. The air must be able to flow unhindered. If this is not possible this may lead to overheating or water condensation in the air exhaust hose. This is why you must ensure that there are no kinks or sharp corners in the air hose(s). To obtain an optimum result, the air hoses must be kept shorter than 1 metre while the airconditioner is in use. C OPERATION

Insert the plug into the wall outlet.

Press the -button to switch on the air conditioner.

With -button you can change the operating mode of the unit. By pressing the -button the following modes appear: Cooling, the green light lits. Dehumidifying, the orange light lits. Air circulation, the yellow light lits.

The air conditioner is equipped with a 3-layer filter package to clean the circulated room air. The filters are delivered with a separately packed 3M

HAF filter and an active carbon filter. These filters must be placed according to instructions before operating the air conditioners.

HAF filter to remove particles from the air such as pollen, animal dander and dust.

3. Active carbon filter sheet; to remove odours.

The filter holder on the backside of the unit can be opened. Active carbon filter and 3M

HAF filter can be removed. Screen filter is part of the filter holder.

1. The screen filter has to be cleaned regularly with a vacuum cleaner to avoid

blocking of the air flow.

2. The positive/negative electro statically charged 3M

HAF filter is recommended to be changed every 3 months. Unusual dirt, construction work, pets, the presence of smokers and running the air-conditioning unit continuously can shorten the life time of the 3M

HAF filter. New filter Recommended change of filter

3. The active carbon sheet can be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner when dusty

but has to be changed at the same time as the 3M

HAF filter and active carbon filter before seasonal storage and install new filters at the beginning of the new season. The old filters can be disposed in the ‘Non-biological garbage container’.

• Never use the airconditioner without the air filter.

• Using the unit without the activated carbon filter and/or enzyme filter will not damage your air conditioner. In that case, airborne micro-organisms are not neutralised and unpleasant odours are not removed.

• Only use suitable Qlima filters. This will prevent any damage to your airconditioner. Using other than the original filters is entirely at the risk of the consumer. This may have a negative effect on the operation of the device and may result in damage. The device may also leak water subsequent to the formation of ice.

• 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

In extreme (environmental) circumstances it may be necessary to empty the internal water container regularly. When the internal water container is full the light will flash and the unit will beep continously. The unit will switch off automatically. To empty the water container do the following:

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.

Remove the rubber plug 8 from the drain tube and let the water run out. (± 0.5 litres).

Replace the rubber plug 8, 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.

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.

Remove the rubber plug 8 from the drain tube.

Connect a drain hose (ø 15 mm) 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. NOTE! 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 , placing its discharge end at a suitable drainage point. H MAINTENANCE

WARNING! Switch off the unit and remove the plug from the mains before cleaning the appliance or filter, or before replacing the filters. Clean the housing with a soft, damp cloth.
