Front side Back side39 Installation The Fuave ACS09K01 is a portable air conditioner/humidier that can be moved from room to room.

• Remove the packaging material, keep it out of children’s reach and make sure that the appliance remains standing upright.

• Before use, check whether all the accessories are present and whether the appliance and the accessories do not show any damage. Do not start using a damaged appliance, but return it to your supplier!

• Place the appliance on a rm, even, dry and horizontal surface close to a socket and drainage possibility for warm air, for example, by a window that can be slightly opened. Make sure that the appliance has at least 50 cm free space on all sides and observe all the directions stated in the safety instructions.

• To dehumidify, connect a water drain hose to the connection point for the water drain hose (10). Lead this hose into a bucket or pit. The hose must not be routed upwards! Your appliance can now be used (see section on water drainage).

• To cool, you have to discharge the warm air to the outside.

• Avoid bends or curves in the drain hose. This causes a built-up of exhausted humid air, which can result in leakage, overheating or switching off the airco.

• Warning! Do not use your airco before you have followed all the installation instructions described above!

• Warning! Make sure that no water enters the interior of the appliance!

• Warning! The length of the drain pipe has been adapted specically to the technology of this airco. Do not replace or extend it using your own hose. This could have an adverse effect on the functioning of your airco. The hose can be extended, but the length should be as short as possible for optimal effect.

• Do remember to prevent break-in! After all, the window is open when using the portable air-conditioner.40 Before using your airco, check:

• Whether it is installed according to the regulations and safety instructions.

• Whether it shows no damage or faults.

• Whether the socket that you want to use has the same voltage as shown on the type plate of the appliance (220-240V / 50Hz).

• Whether there is no other appliance connected to the same socket. If the above is fully in order, then you can insert the plug into the socket.

Remark: When you cool or dehumidify, always wait 3 minutes after switching ON or OFF before you switch the airco ON or OFF again. The compressor needs this time to recover. Water drainage

1. During dehumidifying

During dehumidifying, additional water is extracted from the air. Therefore, remove the drain plug, connect a drain hose to the water drain connection (10) during the dehumidifying process and route this hose to a lower positioned water drain. Make sure that the hose is attached rmly and does not leak. Direct the hose to the drain and make sure that it does not bend, which would stop the ow of water. Once you nish using the hose, then put the drain plug and knob back to prevent leakage. continuous drain hose remove the drain plug54 During this process, water is extracted from the air. This largely evaporates, but any excess water accumulates at the bottom water reservoir. When the water reservoir is full, the airco will beep 8 times and the display will show P1. The motor and the compressor will stop working, but not the fan. Switch off the airco and remove the plug from the socket. Move the airco to a drain location and empty the water reservoir by removing the drain plug and connecting a hose. Make sure that as soon as the water reservoir is empty, the drain plug is securely re-inserted to prevent leakage. The symbol P1 disappears. If the error recurs, contact your supplier.

2. During the COOL process

remove the drain plug continous drain hose bottom drain plug55 The Fuave portable airco is equipped with overheating protection, which switches off the airco when it overheats. When this happens, you must remove the plug from the socket and let the appliance cool down for at least 30 minutes. Eliminate the cause of the overheating: Was the appliance covered or partly covered? Does it stand too close to a wall or another obstacle, resulting in insufcient air sucked in or blown out? Afterwards, you can use your appliance again in the usual manner, but rst keep on eye on it for the rst 30 minutes to see whether no problems recur. If the appliance shows deviations or it overheats again without any explainable reasons, then contact your supplier or a certied electrician for checking and/or repairing. Safety Attention! Before you clean the airco or carry out any maintenance tasks, you must always switch off the airco and remove the plug from the socket! To keep the airco in good condition, regular cleaning is a must! Cleaning the housing case Use a soft, moist cloth to wipe the case. Never spray it and make sure that no water penetrates the interior of the appliance! Never use aggressive cleaning agents, benzene, detergents, cloths impregnated with chemicals or other cleaning solutions. This could damage the case. Dry the appliance afterwards with a soft cloth. Cleaning and maintenance Cleaning the air lter Clean the air lter every two weeks; an airco with a dirty air lter does not operate well. The air lter is located at the rear of the airco and can easily be removed. Use a vacuum cleaner or tap lightly on the air lter to remove loose dust and dirt. Afterwards, rinse clean the air lter in lukewarm water (not higher than 40 °C.) and perhaps use a mild and neutral cleaning agent. Let the air lter dry completely in the shade before remounting it. Watch out! Never operate the airco without the air lter!56 End-of-season cleaning If the appliance is stored for a long period, you must take the following measures!

• Completely remove the condense water. Let the airco fan run for 12 hours so that the airco is totally dry on the inside.

• Switch off the airco and remove the plug from the socket.

• Clean the air lter and return it to its place or replace the air lter.

• Rotate the drain hose of the appliance to prevent damage.

• Remove the batteries from the remote control.
