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

• The outlet’s power supply corresponds to the value indicated on the rating label on the back of the appliance;
• The outlet and electrical circuit are adequate for the appliance;
• The outlet is a 3-hole grounded outlet . If this is not the case, you must choose another outlet.

Failure to follow these important safety instructions absolves the manufacturer of all liability.

The instructions below will enable you to prepare your air conditioner for operation as efficiently as possible.
The power cable must be replaced by a qualified professional only.
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 the hose adaptor 13 to the hose’s end 12.
• Fit the air exhaust hose in the housing at the back of the appliance. Insert it as shown in figure A. Be sure it is properly fixed (check by pulling lightly the hose).
• Screw the window outlet 17 to the other end of the exhaust hose. (see fig. B).

Sash window

• Open the window.
• Place the window bracket 15 in the window, extending it to fit the width of the window (fig. C).
• Place the air conditioner near the window. Insert the assembled exhaust hose 12  into the window bracket hole 15.
• Make sure the air exhaust hose is unobstructed.
• If you have a very large window, in order to cover your window aperture, use the additional window bracket without holes extending it to the desired dimension, then fix the bracket by using the locking pin provided. When extracting the window bracket and joining the two pieces pay attention you do not cover the hole.

Other set-up methods:

• Thanks to the locking pin, 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 figure D).

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

French window

• After having screwed the window outlet 17 into the air exhaust hose 12 , open the French window slightly and position the window outlet 17 as shown in figureE.Keep the air hoses as short and free of curves as possible to avoid bottlenecks.

SEMI-PERMANENT INSTALLATION
If required, your appliance can also be installed semi-permanently (Fig. F). Proceed as follows:

• Drill a hole (ø134mm / 5,27 in.) in an outside wall or through a window pane.
  Respect the height and dimensions of the hole given in figures F and G.

NOTE : As special tools are required for installation, we suggest you have the appliance installed by specialized personnel.

• Fit the wall flange 11 into the hole.
• Screw the hose adaptor13 to the hose’s end12 .
• Fit the air exhaust hose in the housing at the back of the appliance as shown in figure A.
• Screw the wall mounting accessory 14 into the hose 12 (fig. H) and fit it into the wall flange as 11 shown in fig. I.

When the hose 12 is not fitted, the hole can be closed with the flange cap 11.
NOTE : When installing the air conditioner semi-permanently, you should leave a door slightly open (as little as 1 cm) to guarantee correct ventilation.
