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. Do not operate the unit inside the bathroom, shower, or in any other very humid environment. Please keep a distance of 50 cm between the unit and the wall or other objects to ensure proper air circulation. One end of the hose J must be attached to the air outlet 7 at the back of the unit. Ensure that the window air outlet 9 has a free flow outside. Close the window or door as much as possible to prevent outside air from entering the room.G IMPORTANT The flexible exhaust hose 9 should be less than 1m during operation, which provides the best performance. This length has been designed especially according to the specifications of the air conditioner. Do not use an extension or exchange for a different hose as that may lead to malfunctioning. The exhaust air must flow freely, any blockage can lead to overheating of the air conditioner. Take care to prevent any bow or bend in the exhaust hose. C OPERATION

3. Increase temperature control

4. Decrease temperature control

15. Remote control receiver

Insert the plug into the wall outlet. Press the -button B to switch on the air conditioner.

• If the ambient temperature is higher than 25ºC, the unit will work in cooling mode.

• If the ambient temperature is < 25ºC, the unit will work in air circulation mode. With -button 5 you can change the operating mode of the unit. By pressing the -button the following modes appear: Cooling mode H Dehumidifying mode I Air circulation mode J

COOLING When the unit is in the cooling mode, the following functions apply:

• The fan speed can be adjusted by pressing the -button 6 Maximum setting Lowest setting

• The temperature can be set by pressing the 3 and 4 buttons, anywhere between 16°C en 31°C. After flashing 4 times the current room temperature is shown. In automatic mode the unit selects the fan speed based on the room temperature. The speed cannot be adjusted.

It depends on the environment whether the required temperature will be reached. It is not a malfunction of the air conditioner if the room temperature remains above the “set temp”. It could well be that the heat load of the room is too much. DEHUMIDIFYING The air can also be de-humidified with this device:

1. Select the dehumidifying function

9 with the mode 5 button

2. Do not connect the de-aeration hose

3. Connect a fixed water drainage hose (not included) and lead the hose to a

water drain. Ensure that the water drainage hose runs downhill for its entire length. The air conditioner will now de-humidify as long as the room temperature is above the set value. The device will be unable to de-humidify if the room temperature drops below the set value. AIR CIRCULATION In this mode the unit only circulates air; the unit will not cool or dehumidify. The air is filtered. When the unit is in this mode, the following functions apply:

• The fan speed can be adjusted by pressing the 6-button Maximum setting Lowest setting When the unit is switched off the most recent setting will be stored in memory. The timer function allows you to switch the unit on or off at a certain time.

1. Press TIMER button to set the operating hours you desired and the buttons p

3 and q 4 (1 to 24 hours, the timer indicator will light on). When the set time has been reached, the machine will turn off automatically. The display window will show the hour(s) you set as you press TIMER button. If the timer button is not pressed, the unit will work continuously.

2. By pressing the timer but without turning on the other functions, you can

PRE-SET the time for the machine to work. For example, if you press the timer to ‘2’, the unit will work automatically after 2 hours.G NOTE! The compressor has been set so that it starts functioning three minutes after the (re)start of the air conditioner. The cooling will switch off when the room temperature is lower than the set temperature. Air circulation will however continue to work on the set level. When the room temperature rises above the set temperature, the cooling will work again. REMOTE CONTROL a. Power on/off button b. Temperature +/- buttons c. Fan Speed button d. Timer button e. Function button The remote control works in combination with the control panel. Aim the front end of the remote control at the control panel. The maximum operating distance from the air conditioner is approximately 5 metres. Place 2 pieces of 2xAAA type 1,5 V batteries before use.

The air conditioner is equipped with a screen filter to remove the bigger dust particles. The screen filter has to be cleaned 2x a week. Clean the air filter with a neutral detergent in lukewarm water (40ºC) and allow to dry slowly. To take out and place back the screen filter, see pictures at the side.

Move the air vent directly to adjust the air flow direction of the louvres.

Under extreme (environmental) circumstances it may be necessary to empty the internal water container regularly. When the internal water container is full the K light will flash and the display shows E2. Touch any button to stop the beeping. 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 drain hole. Remove the drain knob and rubber plug 8 from the drain tube and let the water run out. (± 0.8 litres). Replace the rubber plug 8 and the drain knob and switch on the unit. The warning light K should be off and E2 disappears.

NOTE! When the air conditioner is in use, under normal circumstances the condensed water will be drained through the air outlet-tube. DEHUMIDIFICATION If the unit will be used mainly as dehumidifier, do not connect the exhaust hose 9 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.G MAINTENANCE

WARNING! Switch off the unit and remove the electrical plug from the mains before cleaning the appliance or filter, or before replacing the filters. Clean the housing with a soft, damp cloth. Never use aggressive chemicals, petrol, detergents or other cleansing solutions. For maintenance of the filters, refer to Chapter D “Air Filter”.

NOTE! Never use the air conditioner without screenfilter. H STORAGE Empty the internal water container (refer to Chapter F) Clean and replace the filter (see also chapter D). Put the unit in air circulation mode for 2 hours to ensure that the inside becomes completely dry. Protect the unit against dust and store it in a dry place.
