per terminal thick, no more than 25 m. long and earthed. ❏ There is a cavity at the back of the appliance for the mains electricity supply connection wire. ❏ Do not allow water to enter the appliance. ❏ Do not block the air inlets or outlets on your appliance, especially when used for heating. Should the mains electricity supply wire be damaged in any way, it must only be replaced with a wire of similar characteristics. Get in touch with the manufacturer, after-sales service or similarly qualified person. Warning! If the appliance is turned off and then turned back on again, there is a 3-minute interval before the compressor starts up again. This interval is necessary in order for the appliance to work properly. Requirements for use31 Transportation requirements ❏ The indoor appliance is mounted on castors to facilitate transportation. To transport the outdoor appliance together with the indoor appliance, hang the outdoor appliance in the park position on the indoor appliance - the appliance can then be moved without difficulty, Fig. 2. ❏ There are castors fitted on your appliance to make moving it easier. If it is necessary to tilt your appliance in order to move it, then the internal water tank must be drained first. To do this, connect drainage pipe to stopcock at the bottom of the appliance, Fig. 3. ❏ If only the oudoor appliance is transported, first pull the stopper out of the outdoor appliance, tilt the outdoor appliance slightly and pour out the remaining water. Warning! Be particularly careful when transporting this unit. There is a water drainage pipe on the bottom of the appliance which may break if knocked.

Positioning of the outdoor unit ❏ The outdoor unit can be set in any of the three positions shown in figures 4, 5 and 6 as desired depending on space conditions. Remember that the outdoor unit must be placed on a horizontal surface. Use the Support Plate accessory in order to hang the outdoor unit from the hook it comes supplied with. Warning! ❏ Make sure that the appliance is hung in a horizontal position, else the lower tray may shed water. To do so, adjust the rear bar on the outdoor unit. ❏ For safety reasons, never allow the outdoor unit to hang solely from the duct that joins it with the indoor unit. ❏ Do not set the outdoor unit higher than permitted. Observe the minimun permitted distances between the appliance and other objects. See figure 7. ❏ Do not impede or twist the flexible duct that joins the two units. Preparations

7The two units are joined by a flexible duct which affords a number of installation options: ❏ Pass the duct through a door or window left ajar, Fig. 8. ❏ Make a 4 x 2-cm hole in a door or window frame to pass the duct through, thereby avoiding having to leave the door or window open, Fig. 9. ❏ Make a hole in the wall and fit the Protective sleeve accessory, Fig. 10, 11 and 12. The covers on the accessory can be closed when the appliance is not in use or not required, thereby sealing the hole in the wall, Fig. 12.

Indoor/outdoor unit communication

9Separating the flexible duct from the indoor unit

Disconnecting the flexible ductTo pass the duct through a window frame or wall, itmust first be disconnected from the indoor unit. Oncertain models, this can be done via fastconnection, proceeding as follows:❏ Unplug the appliance from the mains electricitysupply.❏ Remove the lower cover from the connectionarea and the screws from the upper cover. Theflexible duct connection area can now be seen,Fig. 13.❏ Remove the electrical connection by squeezingthe upper and lower tabs on the plug. See Fig. 14.❏ Disassemble the condensed water drainage pipeby turning it 90º in an anti-clockwise directionand extracting, Fig. 15. ❏ Push the fast connection lever down, Fig. 16. ❏ Push the metal coupling fixture down, Fig. 17, and pull the duct upwards at the same time, Fig. 18.

Reconnect the flexible duct to the indoor unit by following the inverse process to that just described. Warning! ❏ The fast connection can only be mounted in one position, see Figure 18. It must only be inserted in its housing in a vertical position. ❏ Exerting a little force, pull up the lever until it is vertical. Only then is the hose connected correctly. ❏ Should the indoor and outdoor units be disconnected for a lengthy period of time, protect the free end of the flexible duct using the protective cap (See Accessories and Fig. 19) supplied to prevent dust and dirt from entering and fit the protective copper cover over the valves, Fig. 20. You are recommended not to leave the duct disconnected from the indoor unit for more than 24 hours. ❏ Never operate the indoor appliance without the outdoor appliance. Connecting the flexible duct to the indoor unit

❏ Plug your appliance in.❏ Lead the hot-air expulsion duct outdoors. ❏ Turn the appliance on using the "On/Off" button. ❏ Select the "Temperature control" function withthe mode button. Fig. 21. ❏ Set the required temperature with the and buttons. Fig. 22.❏ Select the desired operation mode with theVentilator mode button:"Manual" : The speed of the ventilator canbe set manually to five different levels (1:minimum,...,5: maximum). Ventilator speed isset using the buttons (increase) and(decrease). The speed selected appears on thedigital display screen. When the "manual"button is pressed again, the temperatureappears and when it is pressed twice, the timeis displayed."Turbo" : Temperature regulation isperformed automatically when this mode isselected. The appliance starts up at maximumtemperature control power and adapts to roomatmosphere conditions directly, without passingthrough each of the levels, until the desiredtemperature is reached. This operation modeprovides maximum power and simplicity of use. "Silencioso" : Temperature regulation isperformed automatically when the silent modeis selected. The appliance starts reducing thetemperature control power and adapts to roomatmosphere conditions directly, without passingthrough each of the levels, until the desiredtemperature is reached. This operation mode isvery silent and simple to use.❏ The appliance cools and dehumidifies the air inthe room at the same time in order to producepleasant air conditions.❏ Should the appliance turn itself off by effect ofthe thermostat, it will come back on again whenroom temperature rises 2°C. Cooling Turning the appliance on Speed Mode

22❏ The water produced during this process by condensation is led outside and released from the condenser by evaporation. If the red warning light comes on : ❏ Condensed water has unduly accumulated in the tank on the indoor unit. ❏ Condensed water is emptied using the flexible drainage pipe, which is coupled onto the water drainage nozzle on the bottom of the appliance, (see description of your appliance, page 28). Fig. 23. ❏ Make sure that the flexible duct which joins the two units has not been squashed or been trapped in any way. The difference in height between the two units should not exceed 1.5 m. Fig. 7.

Only dehumidification Set the function at this setting, the appliance will only reduce the humidity present in the atmosphere, without affecting the temperature. The appliance is capable of extracting up to 60 litres of water a day from the air depending on atmospheric conditions. ❏ Release the water from the outdoor unit by removing the plug from the lower tray. ❏ Move the outdoor unit to the room that you wish to dehumidify ❏ Connect the flexible water drainage pipe to the drainage nozzle on the outdoor unit and collect the water produced by condensation in a suitable receptacle, Fig. 25. ❏ Turn the appliance on using the "On/Off" button. ❏ Select the "Dehumidification" function with the button. Fig. 24. ❏ The speed of the ventilator can be set to five different levels, from 1 (minimum) to 5 (maximum), using the and the buttons. Dehumidification power depends on the ventilator speed selected. Speed Mode 24The air inside a room is circulated through a set ofpurifying filters when the appliance is set to thisfunction. As a result, there is no temperatureregulation. ❏ The appliance comes with a main filter with adouble active purifying filter. This special filter isfor smells and smoke, pollen, bacteria and dust.❏ Put the air expulsion duct in the same position asfor dehumidification.❏ Select the "Air purification" function with thebutton. Fig. 26.❏ The speed of the ventilator can be set to fivedifferent levels, from 1 (minimum) to 5(maximum), using the and the buttons.Fig. 27. N.B. The dehumidification function only works inmanual mode. The automatic "turbo" and"silent" modes are not available for thisfunction. Warning!When you change back to the "Cooling"function, put the plug back into the drainagenozzle on the outdoor unit. Should you fail todo so, the appliance will shed water producedby condensation during the cooling process.Always remember that in order for thedehumidification function to work properly,ambient temperature must be at least 18ºC. Air purification

Temp/ Time❏ The appliance is fitted with a change filter indicator light. The purifying filter should be changed as soon as this indicator light comes on Fig. 28. The reference for the purifying filter is B1 RKZ 15013 and it can be purchased at specialised outlets. Press the two buttons and at the same time for a period of two seconds to clear the change filter indication. N.B. The air purification function only works in manual mode. The automatic "turbo" and "silent" modes are not available for this function. We recommend you leave the optional filters in position regardless of the desired function setting (cooling, dehumidification, air purification). The appliance purifies the air more efficiently in this way.

Setting the time/Programming the timer Setting the time ❏ With the appliance on, the present time currently set can be displayed by pressing the "Temp / Time" button. The present time is then displayed on the digital screen for a period of 5 seconds with the two dots flashing. ❏ The present time displayed on the screen can be altered using the and buttons. Each time one of these buttons is pressed the present time is put forwards or back one minute. The present time can be altered continuously by keeping these buttons pressed in. ❏ Unless another button is pressed in the meantime, 5 seconds after the present time has been set, the temperature will reappear on the display screen. Setting the timer (To turn air conditioning on and off automatically). Then the timer can be programmed to turn the air conditioning on and off at set times – regardless of whether the air conditioning is working at the time of setting or not. ❏ Press the "Start" or "Stop" button: The last timer setting will appear on the display screen.
