USER MANUAL ACB09C02 Fuave

• This appliance is suitable only for household use.

• A mobile air conditioner needs air to be able to discharge heat to the outside! Therefore, never use a mobile air conditioner in an airproof room. Always make sure there is sufcient ventilation. Without sufcient ventilation, a vacuum is created in an airproof room, while a mobile air conditioner is operating, and this vacuum can disrupt the safe operation of geysers, extractors, mechanical ventilation systems, ovens, replaces and gas heaters. The vacuum can cause the exhaust gases, which these appliances usually discharge to the outside, to wind up either partially or entirely in the room.

• Install the appliance according to the installation instructions. Incorrect installation can cause water leakage, electric shocks, re or damage to your possessions.

• Use only the accessories delivered with the appliance and the specic tools for installation.

• Make sure that at all times (also during transport) the entire appliance stands upright. If nevertheless, the entire appliance has been lying horizontally (partly), wait 2 hours before you use it. This is the time span needed by the compressor to do its job correctly.

Installation The Fuave ACB09C02 is a portable air conditioner 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 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.32 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. You can operate the airco via the control panel or the remote control. Operation Operating via the remote control33 ON/OFF This switches the airco on or off.

Other functions > Auto-restart If the airco switches off unexpectedly due to a power cut, then the previous setting automatically starts after the power is restored. > Adjusting the airow The airow can be automatically adjusted by setting the shutters manually to the desired position. Keep the shutters completely open during use. Do not place any heavy objects or something else on the shutters, this will damage the airco.38 > Power Management If during COOL, the room temperature is lower than the set temperature, the airco will automatically operate in energy-saving function after an interval. The compressor shuts down and the fan starts working on LOW. When the room temperature rises again above the set temperature, then the compressor and fan will start working normally and the energy-saving function will switch off. 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 plug39 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 display will show E4. 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 E4 disappears. If the error recurs, contact your supplier.

2. During the COOL process

remove the drain plug continous drain hose bottom drain plug40 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!41 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.

• If possible, pack the airco in its original packaging or in a plastic bag and store it in a dry spot. Do not place any heavy objects on the appliance. air lter remove the air lter42 The appliance does not start when I press the ON/OFF button

• Is the plug inserted into the socket?

• Is the residual-current circuit breaker switched on? No power cut?

• Is the water reservoir full (E4)? Then empty it out.

• The room temperature is lower than the set temperature; adjust the set temperature The appliance does not seem to cool well

• Measure the temperature of the air blown out. This should be around 10° cooler than the room temperature.

• Is there direct sunlight? Close the curtains.

• Are there windows or doors open? Close these.

• Are there too many people in the room? They produce heat!

• Is the room too big?

• Is there something in the room that produces heat (or too much heat)? Switch it off or remove it.

• Is the lter dusty or covered with dirt? Clean the lter.

• Is the air inlet or outlet (the hose) blocked? Make sure the airow is unobstructed. The appliance makes noise

• Is the surface on which the appliance rests rm, even and horizontal?

• The refrigerant owing into the appliance also makes some noise. This is normal. Never attempt to repair the airco yourself!
