This mode can be selected by pressing B2 or SW6 until the fan only symbol ( ) is activated on the remote control and on the control panel display. c. In this operating mode, the internal fan is always on and the desired fan speed can be selected (from remote control only) at any time by pressing the relevant B6 or SW6 key (6 symbol on the remote control). Here are the details about the available fan speeds. Symbols displayed: High FAN Med FAN Min FAN

3.6 - COOLING MODE (COOL)

a. Inthismodetheappliancecoolsanddehumidiestheenvironment. This mode can be selected by pressing B2 or SW6 until the cooling only symbol S3 ( ) is activated on the remote control and on the control panel display. b. The internal fan always switches on at the selected speed (by pressing B6 or SW2) or in BLUE AIR auto- matic speed (by pressing B7 on the remote control or SW2 on the control panel until symbol S6 appears on the control panel display). c. The temperature set-point (Tset) can be adjusted from 16°C to 30°C (from 60 F to 86 F if present) in 1°C steps by means of B4/B5 or SW4/SW5, and its value is shown both on remote and local interfaces (D1). d. Three minutes (maximum) after the activation of this operating mode the compressor starts and the ap- pliance starts to distribute cold air. FOR SILENT MODEL ONLY: On selecting minimum ventilation speed, the external fan speed is also reduced resulting in a considerably quieter running appliance.

a. ThismodecanbeselectedbypressingB2orSW6untilthedehumidicationonlysymbol( ) is activated on the remote control and on the control panel display. b. This mode is similar to cooling mode, except that: - the internal fan speed cannot be set and is forced to minimum (B6/B7 and SW2 are disabled); - the desired ambient temperature (“set temperature”) cannot be selected (B4/B5 and SW4/SW5 are disabled). The air conditioner will operate to keep the initial ambient temperature all but unchanged.

3.8 - ECO FUNCTIONING

a. This mode can be selected by pressing B2 on the remote control until symbol A appears on the remote control display or by pressing SW6 until symbol ECO appears on the control panel display. b. In this mode, the COOLING and FAN functions are selected automatically depending on the continuously monitored room temperature value to ensure that there is a perfect comfort-level in the conditioned room. FOR SILENT MODEL ONLY: On selecting minimum ventilation speed, the external fan speed is also reduced resulting in a considerably quieter running appliance.

a. This mode can only be selected from the remote control (by pressing B11) and can only be used in con- junction with cooling or heating modes (HP only). b. When this function is enabled in cooling mode, the internal fan is forced to minimum speed and the set ambienttemperatureincreasesautomaticallybyonedegreeafterthersthourandbyafurtherdegree after the second hour of operation (from activation of the function or from the subsequent change in set temperature). c. If, on the other hand, this function is activated in heating mode ( HP only), the internal fan is forced to minimumspeedandthesetambienttemperaturedecreasesautomaticallybyonedegreeaftertherst hour and by a further degree after the second hour of operation (from activation of the function or from the subsequent change in set temperature). d. To deactivate the function, press key B11 again.

a. When used in this mode, the appliance heats the room. The air conditioner must be installed in the same way as when the appliance runs in cooling mode, with an added water drain pipe at the rear of the air conditioner,inplaceofthecap(24)(seegure21-22-23). b. If you have no way of continuously draining the water produced by the air conditioner, you can leave the rear cap on. In this case, after a certain number of hours of operation (depending on the set temperature, humiditylevel,sizeoftheroometc.)thetanksllsandmustbeemptied. c. Thisconditionissignalledontheairconditioner’scontrolpanelbythenumber“3”ashing. d. To restart the air conditioner, proceed as follows: - remove the plug from the socket - empty the water tray by removing the rear cap (24) - replace the rear cap - plug the air conditioner into the socket - press the stand-by key (SW7 or B1) to restart the air conditioner e. Heating mode can be selected by pressing key B2 on the remote control or SW6 on the control panel until the heating only symbol ( S1S2S3S4S5 S6 S7S8S13S14S15 S12 S9 S10 S11 D1 D2 D3 Blue Air Turbo ) appears on the remote control and on the control panel display. f. The internal fan always switches on at minimum speed and after a few seconds goes to the selected speed (by pressing B6 or SW2) or to BLUE AIR automatic speed. g. The set temperature can be adjusted between 16 °C and 27 °C (60 F and 81 F where applicable) with 1 °C variations by pressing keys B4/B5 or SW4/SW5. The relative temperature appears on the remote control and on the control panel display (D1, D2, D3.). h. When this operating mode is activated, if the ambient temperature is below that set, the air conditioner will switch on and supply heat after a few minutes.

i. On reaching the set temperature, the air conditioner will switch off until the ambient temperature has once

again dropped below that selected.
