PREPARING FOR USE

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Before plugging the appliance into the mains socket, check that the:

• The mains power supply corresponds to the value indicated on the rating plate on the back of the appliance;
• The mains socket and electrical circuit are adequate for the appliance;
• The main socket matches the plug. If this is not the case, have the plug replaced;
• The main socket is adequately earthed. Failure to follow these important safety instructions absolves the manufacturer of all liability.

The power cable must be replaced by a qualified professional only.
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.
AIR-CONDITIONING WITHOUT INSTALLATION
Just a few simple steps and your comfort is ensured with your air conditioner:

• Screw one of the hose adapters 13 to one end of the air exhaust hose 12.
• Fit the other adapter 13 to the air exhaust hose housing 7 at the back of the appliance (see fig. A).
• Screw the end of the hose without the adapter to the adapter previously mounted on the appliance (see fig. A).
• Fit the window outlet 15 to the air 12 exhaust hose as shown in fig. B.
• Place the air conditioner near a window or French window.
• Make sure the air exhaust hose is unobstructed.
• Open the window or French window slightly and position outlet 15 as shown in figure C. Keep the air hoses as short and free of curves as possible to avoid constrictions.

AIR-CONDITIONING WITH INSTALLATION
If required, your appliance can also be installed semi-permanently (Fig. D).

Proceed as follows:

• Drill a hole (ø134mm) in an outside wall or through a window pane.
  Respect the height and dimensions of the hole given in figure E.

  in the window pane| in the wooden kickboard of a French window| in the wall: you are recommended to insulate the section of the wall using suitable insulation.

Keep the air hoses as short and free of curves as possible to avoid constrictions.

• Fit the wall flange accessory 11 provided in the hole.
• Fit the air exhaust hose 13 in the relevant hose 7 located on the rear side of the appliance (see fig. A).
• Screw the wall mounting accessory 14 al tubo uscita aria 12 to the air exhaust 13 hose or, if necessary, unscrew the adapter 12 from the air exhaust hose and replace it with the wall installation terminal 14 (fig. F).
• Insert the other end of hose 12 on flange 11 as shown in fig. G.When hose 12 is not fitted, the hole can be closed with flange cap 11.

OPERATION

TURNING THE APPLIANCE ON
Plug the appliance into the mains.
Press the ON/Standby button (A) (when turned on, the air conditioner starts operating in the same mode as when it was turned off).
The display shows the room temperature.
Press the MODE button (B) until the indicator light corresponding to the required mode lights up:
Light (O): air-conditioning mode
Light (N): fan mode
Light (P): dehumidifying mode
AIR-CONDITIONING MODE
Ideal for hot humid weather when you need to cool and dehumidify the room.
By default, the room temperature is displayed.
Light (S) is on.
To set the required temperature, press the + (E) or – (F) buttons until the required temperature is displayed. (to switch between °F and °C, press the E and F buttons together for a few seconds).
Light (T) comes on and light (S) goes off.
Fifteen seconds after setting the temperature, the display switches back to room temperature.
Light (S) comes on again.
You can adjust the temperature in air conditioning mode only.
Then select the fan speed by pressing the FAN button (C) until the indicator light corresponding to the required fan speed lights up:
MAX: the air conditioner operates at maximum to reach the required temperature as rapidly as possible
MED: reduces noise levels but still maintains a good level of comfort
MIN: for silent operation
The most suitable temperature for the room during the summer varies from 24 to 27°C. You are recommended, however, not to set a temperature much below the outdoor temperature.
FAN MODE
Adjust fan speed by pressing the FAN button (C) as described for the air- conditioning mode.
Remember that the higher the speed, the more air is filtered. If you select “MIN” speed, less air is filtered but the appliance is also less noisy.
DEHUMIDIFYING MODE
Ideal for reducing the humidity in a room without lowering or raising the temperature (spring or autumn, damp rooms, rainy spells, etc). When the dehumidifying mode is selected, the light (P) turns on. In this mode, with temperatures higher than 25°C it is possible to adjust the ventilation speed.
If the temperature is less than 25°C the ventilation speed will be automatically adjusted by the appliance and the ventilation light “MED” (L) will turn on.
Note: Remember to install the air exhaust hose as described in the chapter: “Preparing for use”.
PROGRAMMING THE TIMER
The timer can be used to delay appliance start-up or shutdown. This avoids wasting electricity by optimizing operating periods.
How to program delayed start-up

• Plug the appliance into a mains socket and press the ON/Standby button (A), then select the required operating mode and other settings (temperature, fan speed, etc).
• Press the ON/Standby button (A) again to place the appliance in standby mode.
• Press the timer button (D). The timer light “H” flashes.

TIPS

To get the best from your air conditioner, follow these recommendations:

• close the windows and doors in the room to be a local air conditioner.
  The only exception is when the appliance is installed through a hole in the wall.
  In this case, you are recommended to leave a slight draught through a door or window to guarantee correct ventilation.

• 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 rest objects of any kind on the air conditioner;

• Never obstruct the air intake 6 or outlet 1 grille;

• Make sure there are no heat sources in the room.

• Never use the appliance in very damp rooms (laundries for example).

• Never use the appliance outdoors.

• Make sure the air conditioner is on a level floor.

CLEANING

Before cleaning or maintenance, turn the appliance off by pressing the ON/Standby button (A) or in models with remote control units, by pressing the ON/Standby button 17, then always unplug the appliance from the main socket.
CLEANING THE CABINET
You should clean the appliance with a slightly damp cloth and then dry it with a dry cloth.
For safety reasons, never wash the air conditioner with water.
Precautions
Never use petrol, alcohol, or solvents to clean the appliance. Never spray insecticide liquids or similar.
CLEANING THE AIR FILTERS
To keep your local air conditioner working efficiently, you should clean the dust filter every week of operation.
The filter is housed in the intake grille.
To clean the filters, remove the filter as shown in figure H.
Use a vacuum cleaner to remove the dust collected on the filter.
If it is very dirty, immerse it in warm water and rinse it a number of times.
The water should never be hotter than 40°C.
After washing, leave the filter to dry.
Put the filter back in its housing.

START OF SEASON CHECKS
Make sure the power cable and plug are undamaged and the earth system is efficient. Follow the installation instructions precisely.
END-OF-SEASON OPERATIONS
To drain all water from the circuit, first, unscrew the anticlockwise direction of the external cap from the drain hose on the back of the appliance then remove the internal cap (figure I) and allow the water to drain out into a basin. When all the water has been drained, close the hose with the 2 caps. Clean the filter and leave it to dry before putting it back in its housing.
