REFRIGERANT
(CE) N 842/2006: This air conditioner contains the refrigerant R290. The quantity of refrigerant is less than 1 kg and is contained in a closed cooling circuit. The refrigerant does not have an ozone depletion potential. It is, however, a greenhouse gas according to the Kyoto protocol and could therefore contribute to global warming when released into the atmosphere. Only trained technicians with a suitable refrigerant certificate are permitted to fill or empty the appliance. If used correctly and when the refrigerant circuit is undamaged, your air conditioner does not have to be refilled with refrigerant. GWP: R290: 3.

before using it for the first time

Follow these instructions when using the appliance for the first time: Carefully unpack the air conditioner and all accessories and remove all packaging material and any promotional stickers. Keep the packaging (plastic bags and cardboard) out of the reach of children. After unpacking the appliance, check it for external damage that may have occurred during transport. Place the appliance on a sturdy, flat surface and make sure there is enough space all around for sufficient ventilation. Check that all mentioned accessories have been supplied. Clean the air conditioner with a slightly damp cloth.
Prior to connecting the appliance, check that:

• the connection voltage corresponds with what is stated on the information plate;
•  the socket and cord are suitable for the appliance;
• the plug of the cord fits in the socket;
• the appliance is placed on a stable and flat surface.

INSTALLATION
A mobile air conditioner must be placed on a flat surface with sufficient room all around. Do not block the air outlet and ensure a free space of a minimum 30 cm around the air conditioner.
After placing the appliance in a straight position, allow it to stand for at least 2 hours before inserting the plug in the socket.

• Screw an end of the discharge hose [ a ] in the square connector [ b ].
• Place the square connector [ b ] in the fixing clamp [ c ] on the rear of the air conditioner.
• Ensure good air circulation and keep at least 30 cm around the air conditioner free.
• Hang the other end of the discharge hose to the outside. Ensure a free passage of the hose. Close the window or door to the extent possible.

REMARK: Optimum operation of the air conditioner depends on the length of the discharge hose and the number of bends. Try to limit both. The supplied flexible discharge hose has a maximum length of approx. 150 cm and corresponds with the capacity of the air conditioner. The use of any other hoses or extensions could cause failures in the appliance. The air should be able to flow without any hindrance, or else this could cause overheating of the appliance or condensation of water in the air discharge hose.  Therefore make sure there are no kinks or sharp bends in the discharge hose. In order to reach an optimum result, the discharge hose should be kept shorter than 1 meter during the use of the air conditioner.

INSTALLATION OF THE WINDOW SEAL SET
The flexible window seal set is suitable for many windows. Such as: tilt and turn windows, windows turning to the outside and inside. It ensures that you are able to hang the discharge hose to the outside, without hot air flowing indoors again or having problems with insects. For windows turning to the outside, we recommend taping all four sides (a+b+c+d) around the window, and for windows turning to the inside only three sides (a+b+c).

• Attach the supplied double-sided tape on the window frame and the window in accordance with one of the drawings below that is similar to your situation.
• Then attach the cloth to the tape that you attached in the openings.

1. Attach the supplied double-sided tape to the window frame.
2. Then attach the double-sided tape to the window.
3. Cut away excess tape.
4. Make sure the tapes on the corners properly overlap to achieve proper sealing.
5. Attach the cloth to the tape attached to the window frame and window.
6. Make sure the cloth is neatly attached to the tape on both sides.
7. Zip open the cloth.
8. Insert the discharge hose through the opening and zip the cloth closed to achieve proper sealing.

operation of the air conditioner

In addition to cooling, the air conditioner has two other functions, i.e. air circulation and dehumidification. The air conditioner can be operated via the control panel on the appliance and with the provided remote control.

• Choose a location near a socket.
• Install the discharge hose in accordance with the figures and make sure the window is closed as much as possible.
• Insert the plugin and earthed the socket.
• Press the on/off key to switch on the air conditioner.
• The temperature range of the air conditioner is: 18 to 35°C.
• Check that the discharge hose is mounted correctly.
• Do not share the socket with any other appliances.

COOLING

• Press the [ MODE / ] key until the symbol appears in the display.
• Press the [ TEMP and TEMP ] keys to set the required room temperature (between 16°C and 31°C).
• Press the [ SPEED / ] key to adjust the wind speed.

DEHUMIDIFICATION

• Press the [ MODE / ] key until the symbol appears in the display.
• The air conditioner automatically adjusts the temperature to the current room temperature minus 2°C.
• The wind speed is at low speed automatically. This cannot be changed.

AIR CIRCULATION

• Press the [ MODE / ] key until the symbol appears in the display.
• Press the [ SPEED / ] key to set the wind speed – high or low .

ADJUSTING THE TIMER –
The timer function can be used to allow the air conditioner to switch on automatically (delayed start) or switch off automatically at a set time (automatic deactivation).

Delayed start

• Press the timer key when the air conditioner is off and select the required time at which you want the air conditioner to switch on by means of the [ TEMP and TEMP ] keys. The delayed start can be set between 0 and 24 hours.
• Confirm the number of hours by pressing the timer key once more.
• The set number of hours is shown in the display.
• When the set number of hours has passed, the air conditioner switches on automatically.

Automatic deactivation

•  Press the timer key when the air conditioner is on and select the required time at which you want the air conditioner to switch off by means of the temperature and time keys [ TEMP and TEMP ]. Automatic deactivation can be set between 0 and 24 hours.
• Confirm the number of hours by pressing the timer key once more.
• The set number of hours is shown in the display.
• When the set number of hours has passed, the air conditioner switches off automatically.

WATER DRAINAGE
When the air conditioner is not used for a longer period of time, remove the rubber cap from the drain opening at the bottom of the appliance and place an empty cup under the outlet. All the water will flow out of the tank. The water tank is equipped with an alarm sensor. When the water reaches a certain level in the water tank, the indicator light lights up. Should the water pump be defective, this could be an option for draining the water, as the water pump is not used in this way. The air conditioner will still be able to function properly. When the water pump is defective, intermediate drainage can also be used. Keep an eye on the indicator light for the full water tank , to see whether it lights. Once the indicator led lights, connect a discharge hose in the same way and all the water will flow out of the tank. In this way, the air conditioner is also able to function properly.

cleaning and maintenance

Just before cleaning your air conditioner, switch off the appliance, remove the plug from the socket and allow the appliance to cool down fully.

Cleaning the exterior
Clean the exterior of the appliance with a damp cloth or sponge. If necessary, you can clean the exterior of the appliance by means of a mild detergent.

• Do not use aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents for cleaning the appliance.
• Dry the exterior of the appliance.
• Never submerge the appliance, cord, or plug in water or any other liquid.

Cleaning the air filter
In order to allow the air conditioner to function as well as possible, we recommend cleaning the air filter every two weeks. The air filter could get clogged with dust and dirt.

• Pull the air filter out of the air inlet on the side of the appliance.
• Clean the air filter with a mild detergent in lukewarm water (approx. 40°C) and allow it to dry in the air. Do not place the air filter in the sun or on the heating radiator to dry it.
• Slide back the air filter. Check that it is fully dry, before using the air conditioner again.
