INSTALLATION

The EUROM PAC12/14 is a mobile air conditioning/dehumidifying unit that can be moved from room to room. Install as follows:

• Remove all packaging material 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 50~cm of free space on all sides and take all safety instructions into account.

• To use the dehumidification function, connect the water drainage 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.

In order to use the cooling function, you do not need to connect the water drainage hose. Place window panel in the window opening, see diagram. The length of the window panel 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

• 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.
• Warning! Do not use your air conditioning unit until it has been installed according to the instructions above!
• Warning! Ensure that water cannot penetrate the device!
• Warning! The length of the discharge pipe corresponds to the technique that is used in this air conditioning unit. Do not replace or extend it using another pipe as this could have a negative impact on the effectiveness of the unit. The hose can be stretched but must be kept as short as possible in order to ensure optimum functioning.
• Don't forget about preventing access to burglars!

OPERATION

Operation panel

Remote control

Operation panel and remote control have the same buttons.

1 - ON/OFF button (POWER)
2 - Temperature up button
3 - Temperature down button
4 - Receiver remote control (only on operational panel)
6-Fan speed button

7 - Timer button
5 - Function selector button
8 - WF - 'Tank full' light (only on operational panel)
9-Battery cavity (CR2025,3V) only in remote control)

The operational panel also has a display (Led window) that shows any values set:

1 - automated function
2 - fan speed button
3 - cooling
4 - set temperature/time
5 - timer on
6 - temperature °C
7-dehumidify

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:

automatic function, cooling or dehumidifying. Every time you press the button, the function changes. The display shows 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.

Automatic cooling:

Press function selector button until the 'AUTO' icon is shown
The device will try to maintain the temperature at 23^ in an energy-efficient manner: by dehumidifying up to 26^ and by cooling above 26^ .

Cooling:

Press function selector button until the 'cooling' icon is shown
Press temperature buttons or to set the required temperature (from 16^ to 31^ )
Press fan speed button to select desired fan speed.

Dehumidifying:

Press function selector button until the 'dehumidifying' icon is shown. Check that the water outlet hose is correctly connected, see page 6!
Set the room temperature using the temperature or buttons 2 degrees lower than the current room temperature (16°C to 31°C).
Set fan speed to low.

Timer:

The Timer button allows you to automatically start or stop the air conditioner at a set time. Automatic starting: the air conditioner is off. Press the timer button and choose the moment that you would like it to start working using the temperature buttons: each time you press 'temperature up' the hour will increase, each time you press 'temperature down', the hour will decrease. If, for example, the display shows 5 hours, the air conditioner will switch on in 5 hours.

Automatic stopping: the air conditioner is on. Press the timer button and choose the moment that you would like it to stop working using the temperature buttons: each time you press 'temperature up' the hour will increase, each time you press 'temperature down', the hour will decrease. If, for example, the display shows 2 hours, the air conditioner will switch off in 2 hours. The timer can be set to between 1 to 24 hours.

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 PAC12 / 14 is 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 PAC12 / 14 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.

Cleaning the filters

Clean the filters once every two weeks; a unit with dirty filters will never work properly. The 4 filters can be found behind the air inlet grilles on the sides and at the rear. You can easily open these grilles and remove the filters. 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^ ) with a mild, neutral cleaning product. Let the filters dry thoroughly in the shade before replacing in the unit. Take care! Never use the air conditioning unit without the filters!

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, remove the plug from the socket and:

• clean the filters and reposition them or replace with new ones;
• 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.

TROUBLESHOOTING

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.

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!

When this unit reaches the end of its useful life, it should not be disposed of with household waste. There are specific collection points for this type of waste. You municipality can provide you with information about how this is organised near you.
