POSITIONING

This unit can easily be moved from one room to another. In doing so keep this in mind:

• The air conditioner must stand upright on an even surface.
• Do not position near bath, douche or other permanent wet or damp area.
• Keep for free air circulation at least 50~cm free from any obstacle or curtains.

Window foam fitting

If necessary, cut the foam to the height or width of the window.

• Pass the adapter (11) through the opening in the foam (16) and put the exhaust hose (12) into the hose adapter (11) (fig. 1).
• Place the foam with the hole (16) – if needed together with the foam extension (15) – in the window and close this as far as possible to refrain the warm air from re-entering the room.

Depending on how the window opens, vertically (fig. 2a) or horizontally (fig. 2b).

• Connect the exhaust hose to the air conditioner (fig. 3a).

Permanent wall fitting

Make sure that no pipes or wires run through the chosen spot.

• Drill a hole to fit the outer diameter of the adapter (11).
• Connect the exhaust hose (12) to the air conditioner (fig. 3a).
• Connect the exhaust hose to the adapter (fig. 3b).
• Place the adapter with hose in the hole (fig. 4) and fix with plugs and screws. Use the cap (10) to close the hole when the air conditioner is not placed (fig. 5).

Important

The flexible exhaust hose can be extended from 300 to 1500mm for mounting. 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 kink or bend in the exhaust hose.

OPERATION

1. ON/OFF

Press the ON/OFF-button to switch the unit on or off.

• The cooling will switch off when the room temperature is lower than the set one. Ventilation will however continue to work at the set level. When the ambient temperature rises above the chosen value, the cooling will resume.

PERMANENT

DRAINAGE

Permanent drainage eliminates the need to empty the water container.

Switch off the unit and remove the plug from the mains.

• Empty the water container as usual.
• Keep the rubber plug and drain knob in a safe place.
• Insert the drainage hose over the sprout.
• Lead the other end of the drainage hose to a normal water outlet.

• Connect to the mains and start using the unit again.

When the unit is relocated or permanent drainage is not wanted any more, simply disconnect the unit from the mains, remove the drainage hose and replace the rubber plug and drain knob.

EMPTYING THE WATER CONTAINER

During the process of cooling, some water will be extracted from the air into the unit. Most of this water is used to cool the unit and make it run more efficiently. This is a feature not found in most portable air conditioners.

If the unit is operated in VERY HUMID air, water will collect in the container inside the unit. If the water container is full, the compressor will stop, but the fan will continue to circulate the air. The warning light will flash to inform you to empty the internal container. To make the cooling function work again, empty this container- must be emptied.

Switch off the unit and remove the plug from the mains.

• Position a flat container or dish on the floor under the drain hole. Do not allow the water to drip continuously into the container as it might easily overflow.
• Remove the drain knob.
• Remove the rubber plug, the water will flow in the container. When this is nearly full, replace the plug to stop the water flow and empty it. Repeat this process until all water has been removed.
• Replace the rubber plug into the drain hole firmly, the warning light should not flash any longer.
• Replace the drain knob.

CLEANING
