LEARN INTELLIGENT AIR CONDITIONING

Air conditioning does not mean over-cooling. The use of an air conditioner allows you to have a pleasant atmosphere by reducing the temperature. The conditions for optimal comfort in a room are determined by 4 factors: The temperature, the humidity rate, the air purity and the air flow. Your FA9CM air conditioner allows you to control these factors, so as to create a constantly pleasant room atmosphere.

• Temperature: the main function of an air conditioner is to draw off the hot air and evacuate it to the outside.
• Humidity rate: the humidity in a room also causes a sensation of stifling and heat in the summer. Your FA9CM air conditioner not only cools down the temperature but also dehumidifies the air.
• Air purity: thanks to the air filter, your FA9CM retains dust creating a healthier room atmosphere.
• Air flow: your FA9CM air conditioner regulates the air flow, allowing the flow to be directed and ensuring an optimal air circulation: without any draught, the air is distributed to avoid temperature differences inside the room (hot and cold zones). Example: for an outside temperature of 30°C it is recommended not to select a temperature below 24°C. Avoid being in a cold air flow and do not direct it onto people. To ensure the optimal efficiency of the appliance, we advise you to keep doors and windows closed and to take into account the surface of the walls and windows exposed to the sun. In this case, so as to optimize the functioning of your FA9CM air conditioner, we recommend to partially close the shutters. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Your FA9CM air conditioner has been designed to be used only in household conditions and it should not be used for any other purpose.
• Plug the appliance in a properly earthed socket.
• Never unplug the unit while it is working. This could damage the electronic circuits. To turn off your FA9CM, always use the switch on the control panel.
• Never lay down the appliance while it is working. Always keep it in an upright position to avoid any damage of the cooling system.
• Ensure that the air inlets and outlets are not blocked or covered up.
• Never place anything on the unit and do not cover it with any kind of cloth.
• Do not place the air conditioner near the curtains (minimum distance 50 cm.).
• When used for the first time, and and each time it is turned on, it takes 3 minutes for the air conditioner to become operational.
• It’s dangerous to modify or change the characteristics of the appliance.
• In case of technical problems, contact our approved after sales service. ENGLISH P L A C I N G T H E FA 9 C M
• The air conditioner must be connected to an electrical socket providing 220-240V/50Hz.
• Install the indoor unit in the room where the air conditioner is to operate. It has to be placed on “a flat surface”.
• The 2 rear rollers are fitted with a brake (8) allowing the FA9CM to be locked in a stable position. Do not forget to release the brake whenever you wish to move your FA9CM air conditioner. Fig. 1

• Place the air conditioner near a window, extend the hot air outlet tube (11) enough to reach the opening, half-close the window (Fig. 1). Note: do not put objects in front of the hot air outlet tube which obstruct it (e.g. shutters). Make sure that the air is not directed onto plants or animals.
• Your FA9CM is fitted with a water evacuation pipe, the opening being situated on the right hand side of the connections of the indoor unit (9). If the hot air outlet tube is positioned at a height higher than 1,60 m. it is recommended to evacuate the water through the (9) hose, which is placed on the body of the appliance, by removing the cap.
• Failure to comply with these two instructions may hinder the correct functioning of the condensation water evacuation (dehumidification) and in this case, water leakages, coming from the inside unit, may occur. ENGLISH TIME PROGRAMMING You can either program how long you want your FA9CM air conditioner to operate or when you want it to come on. However, it is not possible to combine these two functions. Length of operation
• Switch the appliance on by pressing (A).
• Press the hourly programming switch (D).
• The temperature display disappears: you can now program from 1 to 12 hours by pressing button (D) several times. The selected operating time is displayed. Example: You want your air conditioner to go on working another 2 hours after you have gone to bed: use the hourly programming switch (D) to display 2. Your air conditioner will now switch itself off 2 hours later. Delayed start Switch your FA9CM air conditioner off before programming the delayed start. The appliance will operate according to the parameters memorised on setting.
• With the appliance switched off, press the programming switch (D).
• You can now display from 1 to 12 hours by pressing a switch (D) several times. The number displayed indicates the number of hours remaining before the appliance turns on. Example: you leave the house at 8 a.m. and you want to find a pleasant temperature at 6 p.m. You therefore want your FA9CM to start working 3 hours before. Proceed as follows:
• With the appliance switched off, use the programming switch (D) to display the number 7 (there are 7 hours between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m.). That’s all! Your FA9CM will start working in automatic mode 7 hours later, i.e. 3 p.m., and will continue operating until you decide to switch it off. ENGLISH T U R N I N G O N T H E FA 9 C M Before reading, fold out the first cover page with the illustrations. Note: the functions on the remote control and on the control panel indicated with the same letter perform the same function. Insert the plug into the socket. Press the switch (A) Choose the operating function using the switch (C). To select another function, press the switch (C) until the indicator for the desired function lights up. DEHUMIDIFICATION AIR CONDITIONING AUTO HIGH MEDIUM LOW low ventilation speed is automatically selected Adjust the desired temperature level using the switch G Adjust the air flow using switch B for the oscillation of the louvers (never move them manually!). Press switch B once more to stop the louvers in a particular oscillation position. The night operating function can be selected by pressing switch F 2 hourly programming possible:
• delayed start by pressing switch D ENGLISH O P E R AT I N G F U N C T I O N S O F T H E FA 9 C M The previous page provides instructions in a simple chast.

AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING

• When switched on, the appliance will operate according to the previously stored parameters.
• To change these parameters, refer to the diagram page 48.
• It is important that the difference between the outside temperature and the chosen temperature is less than 6°C. It is recommended to select a temperature of 24°C, which is ideal for the human body.
• The appliance will stop providing air conditioning as soon as the selected temperature is reached. The lamp will start flashing and the appliance will continue to provide ventilation. It will revert to air conditioning if the room temperature once again exceeds the selected temperature.
• It is possible to choose AUTO, whereby the appliance will operate automatically as required, at one of the 3 fan speeds. You can also choose one of the 3 fan speeds yourself. This speed will then operate constantly.

NIGHT OPERATION FUNCTION

• Enables optimum night-time operation.
• Automatic and progressive temperature control and particularly silent operation.
• As the night-time temperature gradually decreases, your FA9CM regulates the selected temperature by increasing it at 0.5°C intervals every 30 minutes. In this way, the temperature will not drop too sharply.
• This increase in the selected temperature will not exceed 2°C in total. The appliance will then start providing air conditioning at this temperature. Example: if you set your temperature at 23°C at 11 p.m., it will provide air conditioning progressively until the temperature reaches 25°C and will maintain this temperature during the night. DEHUMIDIFICATION
• Enables you to use your FA9CM as a dehumidifier.
• The FA9CM automatically selects the low fan speed.
• It is normal for the appliance to operate in cycles: the appliance stops and starts again automatically. S P E C I A L F E AT U R E S Your FA9CM is fitted with thermal protection which only allows the compressor to start in air conditioning mode after a three-minute time delay. The light flashes during this time. ENGLISH TROUBLE SHOOTING When the air conditioner does not work, it is sometimes a minor problem which the user can easily deal with himself. Before calling the After Sales Service, you should check the following points and see if you can solve the problem by yourself. PROBLEM PROBABLE CAUSES SOLUTIONS The air conditioner does not work

• no electrical supply
• plug not properly inserted in socket
• button I/O not pressed

• wait and check the fuse
• plug the appliance properly in Poor performance

• wrong selection of the mode
• air filter blocked with dust

• select the correct function The air conditioner makes a bubbling noise

• the cooling agent circulates in the circuits

• this is normal Motor noise when the appliance is turned off

• automatic operating of the pump to evacuate the water of condensing

• clean the air filter M A I N T E N A N C E O F FA 9 C M CLEANING Before cleaning and maintenance operations, turn off and unplug the unit. For safety reasons, never wet the air conditioner.

EXTERIOR SURFACES OF THE APPLIANCE

• Clean the air conditioner by using a damp sponge, and dry it with a clean cloth afterwards.
• Never use petrol, alcohol or any product containing solvents. AIR FILTER The air filter collects the dust contained in the air so that dust does not clog up the appliance, your FA9CM must always be used with its air filter. The build-up of dust reduces the efficiency of the air conditioner. Against this, the air filter needs to be cleaned fortnightly or more often if the unit operates in a dusty atmosphere.
• Remove the filter by lifting it slightly to disengage it and pull it downwards.
• Clean the filter with a vacuum cleaner. If the filter is very dirty, you can wash it in warm water. Make sure that the air filter is completely dry before replacing.
