• Fit the wall flange B1 into the hole.

• Fit the assembled hose B3 into the wall flange B1.

• When the air hose B3 is not connected, the drilled hole canbe closed with the flange cap B1.

• When installing the air conditioner, you should leave a doorslightly open little as 1/2“(1 cm) to guarantee correct ventilation and room pressure.

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

Note:

• As special tools are required for this type of installation, we suggest you have the appliance installed by specialized personnel.

AIR CONDITIONING WITH WINDOW INSTALLATION You can also set up in a double- hung window:

• Place the window bracket in the window sill, extend the bracket fully within the window frame, fix the bracket in place using the locking pin. Attach the provided foam stripping B10 to the top of the window bracket and then lower the window onto the bracket. (Should the window bracket be too large for the window, the plastic can be cut with a saw by a qualified professional.)
• Fit the air exhaust hose B3 in the relevant housing located on the rear side of the appliance. Align the open lock symbol on the air hose with the arrow on the back of the unit, turn air hose counter clockwise until the closed lock symbol is aligned with the arrow, as shown in figure 1
• Connect the window outlet vent B2 to the other end of the exhaust hose.
• Insert the window outlet vent B2 of the exhaust hose into the slot of the window bracket (fig. 4).

Other set-up methods:

• Thanks to the locking pins, it’s possible to use the window bracket also for sliding windows. Position the hole of the bracket so to allow a correct installation of the exhaust hose (see fig. 5).

• If you have a casement window (figure 6) proceed as follows:

• Fit the assembled air exhaust hose B3 in the relevant housing located on the rear side of the appliance, align the openlock symbol on the air hose with the arrow on the back of the unit, turn air hose counter clockwise until the closed lock symbol is aligned with the arrow, as shown in figure 1, then, apply the window outlet B2 to the air exhaust hose B3 and place it outside the window to exhaust the hot air.

Note: Never turn off the air conditioner by simply pulling the plug. Touch the key in order to put your air conditioner in stand-by and wait a few minutes before pulling the plug. In this manner, the appliance can perform operating status checks.

MODE SELECTION

To select the desired operating mode, touch repeatedly the MODE key 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:

• Touch repeatedly the MODE key until the air conditioning symbol appears.
• To change to the desired temperature, touch the < or > key.

Note: The most suitable temperatures, during the summer range from 75 to 81°F. However, setting the temperature significantly lower than the outdoor temperature is not recommended. In conditioning mode, the air flow can be selected only from the remote control.

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 same as in the air conditioner mode. That is, the air exhaust hose B3 must be fitted to the appliance to allow the humidity to be discharged outside. To correctly set this mode:

• Touch repeatedly the MODE key until the dehumidifying symbol appears.
• The appliance automatically chooses the best air flow.

Note:
In case of high ambient humidity, it is possible to drain the condensation continuously by applying the tube supplied B11 to the upper drainage hose A13 (fig. 7) and thus allowing the water to flow into a container.

Unscrew the cap by following the directions and inserting the tube. Pay attention that water does not overflow onto the floor (fig. 8). If the connector is not in use, to avoid overflow onto the floor, remember to screw the cap back into place.

FAN MODE

When using this mode, the air exhaust hose B3 does not need to be attached to the appliance

To correctly set this mode:

• Touch repeatedly the MODE key until the fan symbol **appears.
• Select the desired air flow by touching the increase < C3 or decrease > C4** buttons.

The air flows available are:

Minimum air flow: when maximum quiet 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.

HEATING MODE (on some models only)

This is ideal in spring and autumn when outdoor temperatures are not particularly severe. For this mode, the appliance should be prepared in the same way as for air conditioning, with the air exhaust hose B3 attached.

To set this mode:

• Touch repeatedly the MODE button until the heating symbol is displayed.
• Touch increase < C3 or decrease > C4 buttons to adjust the desired temperature.

Notes:

• In this mode, the air flow is selected automatically by the appliance and cannot be set manually.
• When operating in very cold rooms, the appliance defreezes automatically, momentarily interrupting normal operation. In this case, “ Lt “ appears on the display. During this operation, it is normal for the noise made by the appliance to change.
• In this mode, you may have to wait a few minutes before the appliance starts providing warm air.
• In this mode, the fan may operate for short periods, even though the set temperature has already been reached.
• If the display comes on and shows the “HL” alarm, empty the internal tray following the instructions in the Section “End of Season operations”. At the end, touch again the button to restore the heating function.

ECO REAL FEEL FUNCTION
(available only from remote control)

ECO REAL FEEL is the innovative De’Longhi technology that works simultaneously on temperature reduction and humidity control, securing the best comfort level.
With traditional systems, during working time, optimal comfort conditions may be reached but not secured over time. With ECO REAL FEEL, once optimal comfort is reached, the portable air conditioner automatically modulates the compressor and air flow, to keep it over time. To activate the function, press the Eco Real Feel button. The ECO REAL FEEL symbol ****appears.

Please note: For this type of use, the appliance must be set up same as in the air conditioning mode. After approx. 1 minute, the ECO REAL FEEL indicator **C11** turns on. It changes color when approaching the best comfort level (see following diagram).

ORANGE LIGHT: Room conditions far
from optimal level.

GREEN LIGHT: Most people feel good
room conditions, near optimal level.

BLUE LIGHT: Best comfort level.
Perfect!

• The well-being feeling is a subjective condition: for this reason, different people may judge differently the same environmental conditions. In particularly severe environmental conditions (high temperature or humidity outside, poor insulation, too many people, high heat in the room, strong exposure to the sun, etc…) this device may not be able to reach the best comfort level.

SELECT THE TEMPERATURE SCALE

The temperature can be displayed in °C or °F.
To change the temperature unit of measure touch both the increase/ decrease keys < and > for about 10 seconds.
