SETTING THE FUNCTIONS

The control panel of the appliance has the same buttons as on the remote control, so all functions can be set directly on the appliance as well as by using the remote control.

SWITCHING ON THE APPLIANCE

• Press the ON/OFF key to switch on the machine.
• As soon as you switch on the unit, it will run at "Low Speed".
• If you want to put the machine in standby mode - press the ON/OFF button again.

• The respective indication lights up on the display:

1 x press → Medium speed →

2 x press → High speed →

• Use the nut on the air outlet to tighten or loosen the air distribution grille.
• Turn the nut clockwise to tighten the grille to reduce the speed.
• Turn the nut counter-clockwise to loosen the grille to increase the speed.

The air distribution grille improves the air distribution in the room. The looser the nut is, the faster the distribution grille rotates and the better the air flow is distributed.

COOL AIR

• Use the COOL-button to start the COOLING AIR function.
• When the function is activated, the -indicator lights up.
• The appliance now starts pumping water out of the water tank to create cold air, that is then blown out of the appliance. The colder the water, the colder the air flowing out of the appliance.

NOTE

Make sure that the water level indicator is above the MIN level.

TIMER

• Use the Ⓐ - button to switch off the appliance in a time-controlled way.
• With each press on the ⏻ - button, the operating time is gradually extended by one hour each time – pay attention to the indication of the hour in the middle of the display:

○ 1x press → 1 hour → 1H appears on the display
○ 2x press → 2 hours → 2H appears on the display
- 3x press → 3 hours → 1H & 2H appears on the display
○ ....
- 7x press → 7 hours → 4, 2H & 1H appears on the display
