INSTALLING YOUR PORTABLE AIR-CONDITIONER

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

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 mains socket matches the plug. If this is not the case, have the plug replaced;
The mains 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:

Fit the air exhaust hose 13 in the housing 8 at the back of the appliance.
Insert it as shown in figure A.
For optimum results:
If you have a sash window, place the bracket 17 on the window sill, extend the bracket fully within the window frame, fix the bracket by using the pin then lower the win-dow onto the bracket. Insert the window outlet 14 of the exhaust hose 13 into the slot, then connect the hose to the air condi-tioner (fig. B ).
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 figure C).
If you have a double window, use the sucker provided to hold the two parts of the window together (fig. D).
Keep the air hoses as short and free of curves as possible to avoid constrictions

Preparing for use

SEMI-PERMANENT INSTALLATION
If required, your appliance can also be installed semi-permanently (Fig. E).

Proceed as follows:

Drill a hole ø 5,25 inches (ø 134 mm) in an outside wall or through a window pane. Respect the dimensions and height of the hole given in figure F and G.
Fit the wall flange into the hole.
Fit the air exhaust hose in the relevant hose located on the rear side of the appliance (fig. A page 5).
Fit the end of the hose to the wall flange 11 as shown in fig. G.
When the hose (9) is not fitted, the drilled 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 1/2 “ (1 cm) to guar-antee correct ventilation.
Keep the air hoses as short and free of curves as possible to avoid constrictions.

Never use the appliance in very damp rooms (laundries for example).
Never use the appliance outdoors.
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 7 or outlet 1 grille.

CLEANING THE AIR FILTERS
To keep your 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, proceed as follows:

Remove the dust filter by extracting it upwards (figure H).
Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust accumulations from the filter. If it is very dirty, immerse in warm water and rinse a number of times. The water should never be hotter than 104°F (40°C). After washing, leave the filter to dry, then put it back in place.
