INSTALLATION

This air conditioner must be connected to an electrical circuit with a 16 A circuit breaker. It must be kept away from easily flammable materials and a free space of 30 cm around the device. In addition, a 30 mA residual current device is recommended. Only use an approved extension cable with a capacity of 16 A. The air conditioner must be placed on a level surface with sufficient load capacity.

INSTALLATION - Install heat dissipation

1. Choose a location near a window and an electrical outlet to place the device.
2. Screw the adapter (figure 1-16) onto the drain hose (figure 1-14) see also figure 2.
3. Mount the drain hose on the warm air outlet (6) at the back of the appliance (see figure 2).

ATTENTION:

• To avoid damage, the drain hose should not be deformed or twisted excessively.
• The maximum length of the drain hose is 150 cm. Do not use extensions or other drain hoses as this can cause serious malfunctions.
  • To prevent overheating, do not block the air outlet on the device.
• If you have a tilt window instead of a sliding window, purchase a window sealing set to be able to seal your entire window airtight.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE - General

Over time, dust can accumulate in the grids and between the fins in the appliance.

1. Switch off the appliance and unplug it.
2. Remove the dust from the grids and louvers with a hand brush and/or vacuum cleaner.
3. Clean the casing with a soft, damp cloth. Then dry it thoroughly with a dry cloth. Never immerse the appliance in water! Make sure that no moisture gets into the electrical connections.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE - Water drainage

The device is equipped with an internal water collector. When it is full, the appliance stops working and the indicator light on the control panel lights up to "FULL".

1. Switch off the appliance and unplug it.
2. Place the appliance on a raised platform and place a bucket or other type of container under the drainage hole of the water collector.
3. Unscrew the rubber cap from the drainage hole (figure 1-8), see also figure 7. The water flows from the water collector into the bucket.
4. When the water collector is empty, put the rubber cap and screw cap back into the drain hole and make sure it is tightly closed.

ATTENTION:

• Move the appliance carefully and always vertically to prevent water from leaking over the edge of the internal water collector. When emptying, you can tilt the appliance slightly to get the last water out of the water collector.
• If the bucket or other type of container cannot collect all the water at once, replace the rubber cap of the drainage hole in the meantime. Empty the bucket and repeat the steps.

Continuous drainage

If you frequently use the device to dehumidify or cool air, you can also use the continuous discharge.

1. Switch off the appliance and unplug it.
2. Unscrew the screw cap and rubber cap from the continuous drain hole (figure 1-10), see also figure 7.
3. Connect a 21 mm (1/2") connector with drain hose (not included) to the drain hole (19 mm, see figure 8) and make sure that the end of the hose ends in a drain, bucket or other type of receptacle.
4. Use the device as indicated in this manual.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE – Clean the filter

For optimal results, you should clean the 2 filters every two weeks and replace them at least once a year, or more often if the filter is visibly closed. Also, clean the filter before storing the appliance for extended periods of non-use or when returning it to use after a longer period of time.

1. Switch off the appliance and unplug it.
2. Remove the filters at the top and bottom rear of the appliance (figure 9).
3. Rinse the filters with lukewarm water or soak in warm soapy water.
4. Let the filters dry thoroughly.
5. Place the cleaned (or new) filters back into the device.

ATTENTION:

- If the filters are not properly dried, water can get into the device. This can cause (electrical) damage.
