• the socket and electrical line are sized to support the load required;
• the socket is the proper type for the plug, otherwise, replace the socket;
• the socket is connected to an efficient earthing system. The manufacturer is not responsible in the event of non-compliance with these injury prevention standards.
• The power cable must only be replaced by specialised technicians.

USE
The instructions below will enable you to prepare your air conditioner for operation as efficiently as possible. Before use, make sure the air intake and outlet grilles are unobstructed. Maintain a minimum distance of 60 cm from walls and obstacles. In conditioning and dehumidification the air exhaust hose (B1) must be applied (Fig. 1). Please note: This appliance is provided with an auto-evaporation feature for condensate removal during cooling and dehumidifying mode.

AIR CONDITIONING WITHOUT INSTALLATION

CASEMENT WINDOW
If you have a casement window proceed as follows:

• Fit the air exhaust hose (B1) in the relevant housing located on the rear side of the appliance (Fig. 1).
• Position the air exhaust hose (B1) with the window adapter (B3) outside the window to let the hot air out (Fig. 2).

DOUBLE-HUNG WINDOW
Depending on the need, place the self adhesive strips foam or non adhesive strip foam on the window as shown in figure 3.

• Cut the adhesive strips foam to the desired length and place it on the window.
• Position the extendable window bracket on the window sill and fully extend the extendable window bracket inside the window frame (Fig.4)
• Adjust the extendable window bracket by fixing the length with two screws (Fig. 5) (If the extendable window bracket is too large, it is possible to cut the plastic using a saw. This operation must be carried out by a qualified professional).
• Hook the adapter for extendable window (B3) to the window bracket asshown in Fig. 6.

MODES SELECTION
To select the desired operating mode, press repeatedly the MODE key (C2) until the desired function is selected.
AIR CONDITIONING MODE

This is ideal for hot and humid weather when the room needs to be both cooled and dehumidified.
To correctly set this mode:

• Press repeatedly the MODE key (C2) until the air conditioning indicator (C11) appears. The display (C14) will show the desired temperature.
• To change the temperature to be reached, press the (C3) or (C4) key.
• Select the desired fan speed by pressing the (C5) key.

The speeds available are:
Minimum air flow: when maximum silent operation is desired.
Medium air flow: when the noise level needs to be low but with a good comfort level.
Maximum air flow: to reach the desired temperature as soon as possible.
AUTO   Auto air flow: The appliance automatically chooses the best fan speed based on the temperature selected and the environmental conditions.
The most suitable temperatures during the summer range from 24 to 27°C. However, setting the temperature significantly lower than the outdoor temperature is not recommended.
SILENT FUNCTION (available in conditioning mode only and on some models only) By activating this function in air conditioning mode, the noise of the appliance is further reduced.
To activate it, press the button (C6), the indicator (C9) turns on.
DEHUMIDIFYING MODE

This is ideal for reducing humidity in the room (spring and autumn, damp rooms, rainy periods, etc). For this type of use, the appliance must be set up as for air conditioning mode. That is, the air exhaust hose (B1) must be fitted to the appliance to allow the humidity to be discharged outside.
To correctly set this mode:

• Press repeatedly the MODE key (C2) until the dehumidifying indicator (C12) appears.
• The appliance will automatically choose the best air flow.

Note : in case of high ambient humidity, it is possible to drain the condensate continuously by applying the hose supplied (B5) to the upper drainage hose (A10) and thus allowing the water to flow into a container. Pay attention the water does not overflow onto the floor and the drainage tube is not obstructed (Fig. 9).
FAN MODE When using this mode, the air exhaust hose (B1) does not need  to be attached to the appliance.
To correctly set this mode:

• Press repeatedly the MODE (C2) key until the fan indicator lights on.
• Pressing repeatedly the (C5) key till the desired air flow is selected.

The available air flows are:
Minimum air flow: when most silent operation is desired.
Medium air flow: when the noise level needs to be low but with a good comfort level.
Maximum air flow: for maximum performance.

TIPS FOR CORRECT USE

To ensure optimal results from your air conditioner, follow these recommendations:

• Close the windows and doors in the room to be air conditioned. When installing the air conditioner semi-perma- nently, you should leave a door slightly open (as little as 1cm) to guarantee proper ventilation.
• Never use the appliance in very damp rooms (laundries for example).
• Protect the room from direct exposure to the sun by partially closing curtains and/or blinds to make the appliance much more economical to run.
• Never use the appliance outdoors.
• Make sure there are no heat sources in the room.
• Make sure the air conditioner is standing on a level surface.
• Never rest objects of any kind on the air conditioner.
• Never obstruct the air intake or air outlet grilles.

CLEANING

Before cleaning or maintenance, turn the appliance off by pressing the button, then unplug from the outlet.
CLEANING THE CABINET
You should clean the appliance with a slightly damp cloth then dry with a dry cloth. For safety reasons, never wash the air conditioner with water.
Attention! Never use petrol, alcohol or solvents to clean the appliance. Never sprayinsecticide liquids or similar.
CLEANING THE AIR FILTER
To maintain the efficiency of the air conditioner, it is recommended to clean the dust filter  afterevery week of use. The filter is located on the intake grille (A6).
To clean the filter, it must be removed as shown in figure 11. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any dust. If it is very dirty,  ubmerge it in warm water and rinse it several times.
The water temperature must be kept below 40°C. After washing the filter, allow it to dry.
To replace, put the filter back in its housing
CHECKS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SEASON
Make sure the power cable and socket are in perfect condition and make sure the earthing system is efficient. Comply strictly with the installation standards.
END OF SEASON OPERATIONS
To completely drain the water from the internal circuit, remove the cap from the lower drainage hose, turning it counter clockwise then remove the internal cap (Fig. 12).
Drain the water completely into a basin. When it is completely drained, replace the caps, making sure they are completely closed. Clean the filter as indicated previously. The
filter must be completely dry before reinserting it.
