To obtain the best results and optimum performance, follow the instructions for correct installation provided in this manual. A failure to implement the indicated standards, which may cause a malfunction of the appliances, relieves OLIMPIA SPLENDID from any form of warranty and from any liability for possible damages caused to people, animals or things. The electrical system must be compliant with legal standards, must respect the data in the technical data sheet and be must be equipped with an efcient ground system.

• Before installing the air conditioner, it is essential to make an accurate calculation of the heat load in summer (and cold load in winter for models with heating pump) at the site of installation.

• The more accurate this calculation is made the better the air conditioner will be able to do its job.

• When executing the calculations, refer directly to the prevailing standards.min 60mm min 80mm min 60mm min 100mm

• For particularly important applications, we recommend contacting expert heating engineers.

• The user should try to limit high heat loads as much as possible as follows: glass doors and windows exposed to many hours of sunlight should be tted on the inside with curtains or, even better, on the outside with coverings such as Venetian blinds, verandahs, refractive lm, etc.). The air-conditioned room must remain closed as long as possible.

• Halogen spotlights or other electrical equipment with high power consumption should not be used in the room (toasters, steam irons, hot plates for cooking, etc.).

2.3 - CHOOSING THE POSITION OF THE UNIT

To obtain the best operating performance and prevent faults or hazardous conditions, the position of indoor unit installation must meet the following requirements: a. Do not expose the appliance to heat or steam sources (g. 3). b. Make sure that the space to the right and left is at least 60 mm and space above the unit is at least 80 mm. (g. 2). c. The height of the unit’s lower edge from the oor should be at least 100 mm if xed to the wall in the lowest position. If xed to the wall in the highest position, it should be at least 80 mm from the ceiling (g. 2). d. The wall where the indoor unit is to be xed, must be stable, strong and suitable to support the weight. e. It must be possible to leave room around the unit for any maintenance operations that may be necessary.UNICO R

EN - 13 ENGLISH f. Nothing should be in the way of the air that needs to circulate both on the top air-intake (curtains, plants, furniture) and at the front where the air exits. This could cause air swirls that would inhibit the working efciency of the unit (g. 3). g. Do not spray water or other liquids of any kind directly on the unit (g. 3). h. The appliance must not be positioned so that the air ow is directed directly towards nearby people (g. 3).

i. Never force the opening of the airow ap (g. 3).

l. Do not place bottles, cans, clothes, owers or any other object on the air suction grille (g. 3). m. Do not install the air conditioner directly on another household appliance (TV, radio, fridge, etc.), or on a heat source (g. 3).EN - 14ENGLISH The air conditioner must be installed on a wall that communicates with the outside

After determining the best place for installation as described above, check for the absence of other structures or systems (beams, piers, pipes, wires, etc.) at the points where the holes are to be drilled, which would prevent drilling the holes required to install the unit. Check again to make sure there are no obstacles to air circulation through the holes to be drilled due to plants and their leaves, slats or panelling, blinds, gratings or grids too dense, etc.).

The maximum length allowed for the pipes is 1 m, the pipes must be internally smooth and no bends can be made. It is necessary to use the grilles provided, or grilles which keep the same features.

2.4.1 - Drilling the wall

Install the unit by drilling two holes (diameter of either 162 mm or 202 mm) in the wall as indicated in the drilling template.

• It is possible to install the unit UNICO R instead of a unit UNICO EDGE or UNI- CO without modifying the already existing holes, exception made for the small condensation drain hole. In this case, in order not to penalize performances, remove the insulating material possibly present in the air expulsion hole. The anchoring brackets need new drilling too.

• Drill the wall using the proper tools to facilitate your job and prevent excess damage or disturbance to your client. The best tools for drilling large holes in walls are special drills called core borers with very high twisting torque and adjustable rotating speed depending on the diameter of the hole to be drilled.

• To prevent the creation of large amounts of dust and rubble due to drilling, the core borer can be tted with a vacuum system applied by means of suction cups to the drilling zone.UNICO R

• To drill the holes, proceed as follows: - Place the supplied drill jig (M) against the wall observing the min- imum distances from the ceiling, the oor and from the side walls indicated on the jig itself which can be kept in the correct position using adhesive tape (Y) (g. 4). - Use a small drill or punch to mark, with extreme care, the exact centre of each of the holes to be drilled (g.4). - Using a core boring head measur- ing at least 202 mm (or 162 mm) to drill the two holes for entry and exit of the air. Drill the foregoing holes tilted slightly downwards to prevent water from being fed back through the ducts (g. 5).

Most of the removed material is expelled outwards, therefore make sure that it does not hit any person or object when it falls out. In order to avoid as much as possible outer plaster breaking, it is necessary to proceed carefully with the last part of hole execution, decreasing pressure on core borers.

• Drill the holes, previously marked, for the wall plugs related to the xing brackets (g. 6).min 300mm

EN - 16 ENGLISH Carefully check the characteristics and consistency of the wall in order to possibly choose wall plugs specic for particular situa- tions.

The manufacturer will not be held liable for any underestimates made in the structural consistency of the anchor prepared by the installer. Therefore, pay utmost attention to the foregoing opera- tion that could cause serious injury/damage to people/property if carried out incorrectly.

• When installing models equipped with heating pump, if no condensate discharge was built into the wall (see paragraph 2.4.2), in order to drain the condensate it will be necessary to drill a hole through the wall in the position shown on the template.

2.4.2 - Preparing the condensate discharge

• As regards machines with heat pump, a condensation drain pipe (g. 1 - ref. N) (supplied) to be inserted in the specic connection (A) (g. 7). Remove the cap (B) (g. 7) before inserting the condensation drain pipe . When the max level is reached, a so- lenoid valve ensures the condensate will ow out from the internal tray.

• For cold-only machines, connect the condensate discharge pipe if you intend running the unit at low outdoor temperatures (lower than 23°C).

• Since condensate drains by gravity, there must be a minimum slope of at least 3% at every point of the discharge line. Use a rigid or exible tube having an inside diameter of at least 16 mm.

• If the line empties into a sewerage system, install a siphon before the point in which the pipe reaches the main discharge, at least 300 mm below the inlet from the unit (g. 8).UNICO R

• If the drainpipe drains into a vessel (tank or other container), this container should not be sealed and the drainpipe should not remain immersed in the water (see g. 9).

• The hole (J) through which the conden- sate pipe passes should always slope towards the outside (see g. 10). The exact position in which to place the pipe inlet, as compared to the machine, is shown on the drilling template.

Make sure, in this case, that the water expelled outward does not damage or disturb persons or property. During the winter this type of drainage may cause sheets of ice to form.

When the condensate drainage is tted, pay much attention not to compress the rubber hose. In the event of operation during the winter with temperatures equal to or lower than 0° C, make sure that the condensate drain pipe is protected from freezing in order to ensure draining. In the event of prolonged operation during the winter with temper- atures below 5°C, install the optional basin heater kit.

2.4.3 -Assembly of the air ducts and external grids

• After drilling the holes (with the core drill), insert the plastic sheet (H) supplied with the air conditioner (g. 11) inside them. Since the sheet (H) was made for 202 mm holes, you will have to cut off 130 mm from the long side of the sheet for the 162 mm holes (g. 11). The sheets must be 65 mm shorter than the length of the wall.G

• Roll the sheet (H) and insert it into the hole, paying attention to the splicing line, which must always face up- wards. (g.11). Use an ordinary cutter for the foregoing operation (g. 11 - 12). To position the external grids, proceed as follows: a. Apply the seal (G) to the wall ange (D), ensuring it lines up with the outer edge of the ange as indicated in the gure 13. b. Fix the two anges using 2 pegs having a diameter of 6 mm and check that the two xing holes are horizontal (g. 14

EN - 19 ENGLISH c. Fit the small eyelet of the spring, with the long stem, on the cap pin (on both components) (g. 17). d. Insert the two caps (with spring), on the front part of the external grid, on its two housings, pulling until it clicks (g. 18) and couple the two chains to the large eyelet of the spring. e. Using one hand, grip the two chains connected to the grid; f. Bend the external grids back, gripping them with your free hand where they bend, and insert your ngers inside the single ns (g. 19).). g. Insert your arm into the pipe until the grid protrudes completely outwards. h. Reopen the grid, being careful to keep your ngers inside the ns.

i. Turn the grid until the ns are fully

horizontal and tilted downwards. l. Pull the chain, tensioning the spring, and couple the chain ring to the pin of the inner ange through which the pipes pass (g. 20). m. Use hand shears to cut off any excess chain links.

Use exclusively the supplied grids (F), or grids with like char- acteristics.

2.4.4 - Preparing the holes on the

machine If 162 mm pipes are being used, the removal operation of part of the rear cover must not be performed.E

A B EN - 20 ENGLISH In the event of use of Ø 202 mm holes, work as follows: a. Use pincers to break the precut of the rear cover (g. 21-A). b. Then, rotate back and forth the part of the cover to be remove with the hand until breaking the remaining precut part (g. 21-B). c. Use a cutter to trim the possible insulating material in excess which remained inside the hole (g. 21-B). Working on the two previously drilled holes (see g. 6), x the support bracket (L) to the wall using the supplied wall plugs screws (H) (g. 22). After checking: that the xing brackets are well an- chored to the wall, that the installation site has been prepared for electrical connection and condensation discharge (if necessary),

2.4.5 - Positioning of the device on the anchor brackets

it is possible to hook the air conditioner. Lift the air conditioner by holding it on the sides of the lower base and hook it to the bracket (L) (g. 23). Slightly tilt the lower part of the appliance towards yourself to ease the operation.UNICO R

• To make the electrical connection and fasten the drainpipe, place a wedge be- tween the air conditioner and the wall (see g. 24).

• When you have nished, inspect carefully to make sure there are no ssures at the back of the air conditioner (the insulating gasket must t rmly against the wall) particularly in the zone where air enters and leaves the machine.

2.4.6 - Electric hook-up

The appliance is tted with a power cord with plug (Y-type connection). If the socket is in proximity to the appliance, simply plug it in.

Before connecting the conditioner, ensure that:

• The power supply voltage and frequency values comply with those indicated on the data plate of the appliance (220-240VAC/50Hz).

• The power supply line is tted with an efcient earth connection that is appropriately sized for the maximum absorption of the conditioner (minimum cross-section of the cable must be 1.5 mm2).

• The appliance is powered exclusively through a socket that is compatible with the plug supplied.

Any replacement of the power cable must be carried out solely by authorized technical support or by similarly qualied personnel. On the power supply line of the appliance there must be an adequate omnipolar disconnection device that complies with the national installation regulations. It is, however, necessary to check that the electrical power supply is equipped with efcient earthing and with adequate protections against overloading and/or short circuits (a type 10 AT delayed fuse or other devices with equivalent functions are recommended).25

EN - 22 ENGLISH To replace the power cord, proceed as follows: a. Remove the lower cover (interlocking) (A) (g. 25). b. Remove the upper cover (interlocking) (B) (g. 25). c. Unscrew the 6 screws that lock the front cover (g. 26). d. Remove the front cover (C) (g. 27) and remove the cover of the electrical box (D) (g. 27). e. Unscrew the cable clamp (E) (g. 27) and unscrew the cable locking screws of the terminal block (F) (g. 27). f. Remove the present cable and insert the new cable following the same path. g. Remove the wooden wedge on the back of the machine. h. Lock the three poles of the cable in the terminal block and tighten the screws (F) (g. 27).

i. Secure the cable with the clamp (E)

(g. 27). l. Close the board protection (D) (g. 27). m. Ret the front cover of the machine with the six screws. n. Reassemble the two interlocking covers (upper and lower).

2.5 - TOP/BOTTOM INSTALLATION CONFIGURATION

The unit can be installed both in the lower part (adjacent to the oor) and in the upper part (adjacent to the ceiling) of the wall.UNICO REN - 23ENGLISH

The installation and electrical connection of the air conditioner should be carried out by specialized personnel who possess the requisites set forth by law. The installation instructions are contained in the appropriate par- agraph of this manual.

No structural object (furniture, curtains, plants, leaves, blinds, etc.) should ever obstruct the normal ow of air from either the internal or external gratings.

• Never lean or, worse yet, sit on the casing of the air conditioner as this could cause serious damage to the external parts.

• Do not move the air outlet ap by hand. Always use the remote control to adjust bafe position.

• If the unit leaks water, switch it off immediately and disconnect it from the power mains. Call the nearest service centre.

• When the air conditioner is heating, it has to periodically elim- inate any ice that could form on the external battery. While it is doing this, the machine keeps running but does not heat the room. This lasts for a brief period of time, from 3 to a maximum of 10 minutes.

• Clean the air lter periodically, as described in the specic par- agraph (4.1.2).

The air conditioner must not be installed in rooms where explosive gasses develop or where there are conditions of heat and humidity beyond the maximum limits indicated in the installation manual.

3.2 - DESCRIPTION OF THE WARNING PANEL

In the upper right part of the appliance are located a few keys and LEDs whose func- tions are described in the paragraph (4.3.3).

3.3 - USE OF THE REMOTE CONTROL

The remote control supplied with the air-conditioner is the instrument that enables you to use the appliance in the most convenient way.31 EN - 24 ENGLISH It should be handled with care and in particular:

• Keep it dry (do not clean it with water or leave it outdoors in bad weather).

• Avoid dropping or bumping it.

• Keep it out of direct sunlight.

• The remote control operates by means of an infrared beam.

• During use, there must not be any obstacle between the remote control and the air-conditioner.

• If other appliances in the room have remote controls (TV, stereo, etc...), there may be interference with consequent loss of the sent signal.

• Electronic and uorescent lights may also interfere with trans- missions between remote control and air-conditioner.

• Remove the batteries in case of prolonged disuse of the remote control.

• The remote control display goes off after a few seconds of non- use, to reactivate it press any key.

3.3.1-Insertionofbatteries(g.31)

To insert the batteries correctly: a. Remove the batteries compartment cover. b. Insert the batteries into the relevant compartment. Check the polarity indicated on the bottom of the compartment. c. Close the compartment correctly.

3.3.2 - Replacement of batteries

The batteries should be replaced when the display on the remote control does not appear sharply or when the remote control does not change the settings. Always use new batteries and replace both at the same time. The use of old or different batteries could generate malfunctioning of the remote control. The remote control uses two dry alkaline 1.5V batteries (AAA.LR03) (g. 31).UNICO R ~8m

When the batteries have been replaced, adjust the remote control clock.

When replacing batteries, replace both and dispose of the dead batteries in the appropriate collection centres and as required by law.

• If the remote control is not used for several weeks or longer, remove the batteries. Any leaks from the batteries could damage the remote control.

• The average life-span of the batteries, with normal use, is approx. six months. Replace the batteries when the indoor unit command receipt “beep” can no longer be heard, or if the transmission indicator on the remote control does not switch on.

Do not re-charge or disassemble the batteries. Do not throw the batteries into the re. They can burn and explode.

If the battery liquid falls onto the skin or clothes, wash well with clean water. Do not use the remote control with batteries that have leaked. The chemical products contained in the batteries can cause burns or other risks to health.

3.3.3 - Location of the remote controller

• Keep the remote control in a position from which the signal can reach the appliance receiver (maximum distance is about 8 meters - with charged batteries) (g. 32). The presence of obstacles (furniture, curtains, walls, etc.) between the remote control and the appliance reduces the remote control range.

3.4 - DESCRIPTION OF REMOTE CONTROL

• In this mode, the machine’s temperature is automatically regulated according to the room’s temperature. The fan speed is also automatically regulated according to the set temperature (except in dehumidication mode).

• To activate this mode, press the B2 key on the remote control several times until the D7 symbol appears on the display.

.5.8 - Operation in “Heating” mode only

• Using this mode, the appliance heats the room.

• To activate this mode, press button B4 on the remote control several times until the D2 symbol appears on the display.

• In this run mode, the required temperature and fan speed can be set. After three minutes (maximum time) the compressor should start and the air conditioner starts heating the room.UNICO R

EN - 29 ENGLISH The air conditioner has to defrost its battery periodically. During this operation the air conditioner does not heat the room, though its internal parts remain on except for the room air fan. when the outdoor temperature is very low, there may be a slight delay for passage from the minimum to the medium or maximum speed from when the command is sent to the machine with the remote control. After having turned off the unit, the internal fan runs seconds more. Then it stops and both air aps close. In the models without heat pump, “heating” mode is obtained by means of the activation of the electrical resistors and of the fan only. In this mode, the fan works at the maximum speed. In the models with heat pump, “heating” mode is obtained by means of the activation of the electrical resistors and of the fan only or through the heat pump; activation of one of the two systems de- pends on the detection of the external environment temperature and is managed autonomously.

3.5.9 -Checkingairowdirection

• Not available for this model.

3.5.10 - Checking fan speed

• The fan speed check occurs through key B5 (on the remote control).

• Pressing several times this key will cause speed to change according to the fol- lowing sequence: Low > Medium > High > Automatic.

• The higher the speed setting, the greater the output of the air conditioner but also the louder its operation.

• The start of the compressor is indicated by the lighting up of the LED B (green) located on the console (g.30).EN - 30 ENGLISH

• By setting the Automatic mode, the onboard microprocessor adjusts the automatic speed. The higher the difference between the room temperature detected and the temperature set, the higher the speed.

• As the room temperature nears the setting, fan speed is reduced automatically.

• In dehumidication mode, it is not possible to control the speed as the appliance can only operate exclusively at low speed.

• To activate this mode, press the B3 key on the remote control, the D6 symbol appears on the display.

• Activating the night function (SILENT) allows you to obtain multiple results: - gradual increase in the set temperature during cooling mode - gradual decrease in the set temperature for heating (HP versions only) - reduction of the sound level of the appliance - savings on nightly electricity consumption

• To activate the night function, it is necessary to select the operating mode and the desired temperature rst, then press key B3 to activate it.

• Ideally, the activation of the night key should be done immediately before falling asleep.

• In cooling mode, the set temperature is maintained for an hour after activating the night key. In the following two hours the setting is gradually increased, while the fan operation is set to low speed.

• After the second hour, the temperature setting and the fan setting are not further altered.

• In heating, the set temperature is maintained for an hour after activating the night key. Over the next two hours, the setting is gradually lowered, while the fan operation is set to low speed.

• After the second hour, the temperature setting and the fan setting are not further altered.

• The night key is not available for operation in dehumidication and ventilation only.

• The night key can be disabled at any time (ideally upon awakening) by pressing button B3 once more.

• At this point, the fan temperature and speed settings that were set before activating this function are restored.UNICO R

• The appliance logic allows the User to make use of two different timer programs (see paragraph 3.5.14), thanks to which the appliance can be deactivated and activated (or vice versa) whenever desired (for example, it can be activated shortly before returning home so as to nd an already pleasant temperature in the room).

• Firstly, if it is desired to make use of these functions, set the correct time (see paragraph 3.5.13) and then set the timer as you prefer.

until when all the symbols related to this setting on the display turn off.UNICO R EN - 33 ENGLISH

3.5.15 - Timer activation and deactivation

Once set, the timer programs can either be activated or deactivated depending on occasional needs. Activation may relate to one of the two programs or both. In particular, each time you press key B11 (Programs activation), situation changes as follows:

• Use of Program no. 1 only.

• Use of Program no. 2 only.

• Use of Programs 1 and 2.

• Disuse of both programs.

3.5.16 - Reset of all the remote control functions

Pressing the B10 (RESET) key will reset all the remote control settings. In so doing, all the time settings of the timer saved in the remote control are cancelled and the remote control restores all the factory settings. Furthermore, always by pressing the key B10, all the symbols appear on the display thus making it possible to check the integrity of the display itself.

3.5.17 - Managing the unit if the remote control is not available

In the event of loss of the remote control, battery depletion or malfunction of the re- mote control, the air conditioner can only be operated automatically by pressing the microswitch located under the hole on the console using a pointed object. To switch off the air conditioner, press the microswitch again. From the moment the remote control becomes available again, restore normal air conditioning control by issuing any command via the remote control.

3.6 - RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ENERGY SAVINGS

Below nd simple recommendations for reducing consumption:

• Always and constantly keep the lters clean (see maintenance and cleaning chapter).

• Keep the doors and windows of the rooms to be climate controlled closed.

• Avoid the sun’s rays penetrating freely into the room (we recommend using curtains or lowering blinds or closing the shutters).

• Do not obstruct the unit air ow (inlet and outlet), i.e. in addition to bad performance of the system, it also affects correct operation and the possibility of irreparable faults to the units.33

4 - MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Before proceeding with any maintenance and cleaning, always make sure the system has been switched off, using the remote control, and the power supply plug has been disconnected from the system socket (or the upstream master isolating switch is positioned at “0” OFF). Do not touch the metal parts of the unit when removing the air lters. They are very sharp. Cuts or injury risk.

4.1.1 - Appliance and remote control cleaning

Use a dry cloth to clean the appliance and the remote control (g. 33). It is possible to use a cloth moistened with cold water to clean the appliance if it is very dirty. Suck between the air inlet and outlet grilles (g. 33).

Do not use a chemically treated or antistatic cloth to clean the appliance. Do not use gasoline, solvent, polish or similar solvents. These products could cause the breakage or deformation of the plastic surface.UNICO R

4.1.2-Cleaningtheairlter

To ensure effective internal air ltration and good air conditioning operation, it is essential to periodically clean the air lter or when the LED A (red) on it lights up. The air lter is at the top of the unit. Filter extraction: a. Electrically disconnect the appliance. b. Switch off the unit and wait for the closure of the suction ap. c. Manually raise the air suction grille (3) (g. 35). d. Raise the front part of the lter (F) and slightly pull it towards yourself (g. 35). e. Extract the two additional lters (g. 36) from the lter group (F): (green purifying lter ref. F1 - black active carbons lter ref. F2). f. Perfectly wash and dry all the lters. Filter reassembly: g. Insert the active carbon group (F2) on the lter group (F) locking it on the special tabs (X1) (g. 36). h. Insert the purifying lter (F1) on the rst pin on the lter group (X2), pulling it slightly and locking it on the other two pins present (X3) (g. 36)30

i. Reassemble the lters group (F1-F2) inserting the rear edge inside the grid (g.

37). l. Manually close the air suction grille (3) (g. 37). To deactivate the LED A (if on), after cleaning and repositioning the lters, electrically connect the appliance then press the reset key H briey using a pointed object. In this way, the signal relating to the need for lter cleaning is reset.

If you plan to idle the unit for a long time, perform the following: a. Stop the air conditioner and disconnect the power supply. b. Remove the batteries from the remote control.

Do not perform them alone.

4.2.1 - Routine maintenance

The air conditioner that you have purchased has been designed to reduce routine maintenance operations to a minimum. These operations involve solely the cleaning operations outlined below:

• Cleaning or washing of the ambient air lter every 2 weeks or every time the relative red LED lights up (this can be done by the user, see user manual).

• Cleaning of the condensing battery and cleaning of the condensate management system. These operations must be carried out by skilled technicians on a regular basis that will depend on the place of installation and intensity of use. Depending on the quantity of dirt, the unit can be cleaned dry (by using a battery compressor and bowl and cleaning the ns with a soft brush taking care not to deform them) or more thoroughly using dedicated detergents.

4.2.2 - Condensation water drainage in case of emergency

If anomalies occur in the condensa- tion water disposal system, the air conditioner stops and signals the alarm status with the intermittent lighting up of LED A, LED B and LED C (g.30).UNICO R

min. 5LEN - 37ENGLISH Remove the bottom cover. a. Remove the cap (6a) after having placed a good-sized container underneath it (at least 5-liter capacity) to collect the water. b. After having cleared the fault, the service personnel will close the evacuation pipe. To enable the air conditioner to work temporarily until the service personnel arrive, you can drain the water out by following these simple instructions (g. 37): Before proceeding with any maintenance and cleaning, always make sure the system has been switched off, using the remote control, and the power supply plug has been disconnected from the system socket (or the upstream master isolating switch is positioned at “0” OFF).

It is important for the User to distinguish between functional problems and anomalies in relation to the behaviour of the appliance as foreseen for its normal operation. Fur- thermore, the most common problems may easily be solved through simple operations on behalf of the User (See paragraph 4.3.4 - Anomalies and solutions). For all the other reports (see paragraph: 4.3.3), it is necessary to always contact the technical assistance service”

Any attempt to repair the appliance by unauthorised personnel will immediately invalidate any form of guarantee.30 EN - 38 ENGLISH

4.3.2 - Functional aspects not to be mistaken for anomalies

The following events may occur during normal operation: a. The compressor does not start up again immediately after a stop (it takes about three minutes to start again). - In the operating logic of the appliance a delay between a compressor stop and its successive restart has been included, so that the compressor itself is protected against activations that are too frequent. b. Duringtheheatingoperationoftheheatpumpappliances,theowofhot air may occur some minutes after activation of the compressor. - Should the fan start at the same time as the compressor, for the rst few minutes it would emit cold air into the room (and this could bother the occu- pants) since the unit has not yet reached steady running conditions.
