INSTALLATION

2.1 – INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION
To obtain the best results and optimum performance, follow the instructions for correct installation provided in this manual.
A failure to implement the indicated standards, which may cause a malfunction of the appliances, relieves OLIMPIA SPLENDID from any form of warranty and from any liability for possible damages caused to people, animals or things.
The electrical system must be compliant with legal standards, must respect the data in the technical data sheet and be must be equipped with an efficient ground system.

2.2 – SIZE AND SPECIFICATIONS OF THE ROOM IN WHICH TO INSTALL THE AIR CONDITIONER

Before installing the air conditioner, it is essential to make an accurate calculation of the heat load in summer (and cold load in winter for models with heating pump) at the site of installation.
The more accurate this calculation is made the better the air conditioner will be able to do its job.
When executing the calculations, refer directly to the prevailing standards.
For particularly important applications, we recommend contacting expert heating engineers.
The user should try to limit high heat loads as much as possible as follows: glass doors and windows exposed to many hours of sunlight should be fitted on the inside with curtains or, even better, on the outside with coverings such as Venetian blinds, verandahs, refractive film, etc.). The air-conditioned room must remain closed as long as possible.
Halogen spotlights or other electrical equipment with high power consumption should not be used in the room (toasters, steam irons, hot plates for cooking, etc.).

2.3 – CHOOSING THE POSITION OF THE UNIT
To obtain the best operating performance and prevent faults or hazardous conditions, the position of indoor unit installation must meet the following requirements:
a. Do not expose the appliance to heat or steam sources (fig. 3).
b. Make sure that the space to the right and left is at least 60 mm and space above the unit is at least 80 mm. (fig. 2).
c. The height of the unit’s lower edge from the floor should be at least 100 mm if fixed to the wall in the lowest position. If fixed to the wall in the highest position, it should be at least 80 mm from the ceiling (fig. 2).
d. The wall where the indoor unit is to be fixed, must be stable, strong and suitable to support the weight.
e. It must be possible to leave room around the unit for any maintenance operations that may be necessary. f. Nothing should be in the way of the air that needs to circulate both on the top air-intake (curtains, plants, furniture) and at the front where the air exits. This could cause air swirls that would inhibit the working efficiency of the unit (fig. 3).
g. Do not spray water or other liquids of any kind directly on the unit (fig. 3).
h. The appliance must not be positioned so that the air flow is directed directly towards nearby people (fig. 3).
i. Never force the opening of the airflow flap (fig. 3).
l. Do not place bottles, cans, clothes, flowers or any other object on the air suction grille (fig. 3).
m. Do not install the air conditioner directly on another household appliance (TV, radio, fridge, etc.), or on a heat source (fig. 3). The air conditioner must be installed on a wall that communicates with the outside
After determining the best place for installation as described above, check for the absence of other structures or systems (beams, piers, pipes, wires, etc.) at the points where the holes are to be drilled, which would prevent drilling the holes required to install the unit. Check again to make sure there are no obstacles to air circulation through the holes to be drilled due to plants and their leaves, slats or panelling, blinds, gratings or grids too dense, etc.).

2.4 – UNIT ASSEMBLY
The maximum allowed length of the pipes is 1 m, the pipes must be internally smooth, with a diameter equal to 202 mm or 162 mm and bends cannot be performed.
It is necessary to use the grilles provided, or grilles which keep the same features.

2.4.1 – Drilling the wall
Install the unit by drilling two holes (diameter of either 162 mm or 202 mm) in the wall as indicated in the drilling template.

It is possible to install the unit UNICO instead of a unit UNICO SKY or UNICO STAR without modifying the already existing holes, exception made for the small condensation drain hole.
In this case, in order not to penalize performances, remove the insulating material possibly present in the air expulsion hole. The anchoring brackets need new drilling too.
Drill the wall using the proper tools to facilitate your job and prevent excess damage or disturbance to your client.
The best tools for drilling large holes in walls are special drills called core borers with very high twisting torque and adjustable rotating speed depending on the diameter of the hole to be drilled.
To prevent the creation of large amounts of dust and rubble due to drilling, the core borer can be fitted with a vacuum system applied by means of suction cups to the drilling zone.
To drill the holes, proceed as follows:
– Place the supplied drill jig (M) against the wall observing the minimum distances from the ceiling, the floor and from the side walls indicated on the jig itself which can be kept in the correct position using adhesive tape (Y) (fig. 4).
– Use a small drill or punch to mark, with extreme care, the exact centre of each of the holes to be drilled (fig.4). – Using a core boring head measuring at least 202 mm (or 162 mm) to drill the two holes for entry and exit of the air.
Drill the foregoing holes tilted slightly downwards to prevent water from being fed back through the ducts (fig. 5). Most of the removed material is expelled outwards, therefore make sure that it does not hit any person or object when it falls out. In order to avoid as much as possible outer plaster breaking, it is necessary to proceed carefully with the last part of hole execution, decreasing pressure on core borers.
Drill the holes, previously marked, for the wall plugs related to the fixing brackets (fig. 6). Carefully check the characteristics and consistency of the wall in order to possibly choose wall plugs specific for particular situations.
The manufacturer will not be held liable for any underestimates made in the structural consistency of the anchor prepared by the installer. Therefore, pay utmost attention to the foregoing operation that could cause serious injury/damage to people/property if carried out incorrectly.
When installing models equipped with heating pump, if no condensate discharge was built into the wall (see paragraph 2.4.2), in order to drain the condensate it will be necessary to drill a hole through the wall in the position shown on the template.

2.4.2 – Preparing the condensate discharge

As regards machines with heat pump, a condensation drain pipe (fig. 1 – ref. N) (supplied) to be inserted in the specific connection (A) (fig. 7). Remove the cap (B) (fig. 7) before inserting the condensation drain pipe .
When the max level is reached, a solenoid valve ensures the condensate will flow out from the internal tray.
For cold-only machines, connect the condensate discharge pipe if you intend running the unit at low outdoor temperatures (lower than 23°C).
Since condensate drains by gravity, there must be a minimum slope of at least 3% at every point of the discharge line. Use a rigid or flexible tube having an inside diameter of at least 16 mm.
If the line empties into a sewerage system, install a siphon before the point in which the pipe reaches the main discharge, at least 300 mm below the inlet from the unit (fig. 8).
If the drainpipe drains into a vessel (tank or other container), this container should not be sealed and the drainpipe should not remain immersed in the water (see fig. 9).
The hole (J) through which the condensate pipe passes should always slope towards the outside (see fig. 10). The exact position in which to place the pipe inlet, as compared to the machine, is shown on the drilling template.

Make sure, in this case, that the water expelled outward does not damage or disturb persons or property.
During the winter this type of drainage may cause sheets of ice to form.
When the condensate drainage is fitted, pay much attention not to compress the rubber hose.
In the event of operation during the winter with temperatures equal to or lower than 0° C, make sure that the condensate drain pipe is protected from freezing in order to ensure draining.
In the event of prolonged operation during the winter with temperatures below 5°C, install the optional basin heater kit.

2.4.3 -Assembly of the air ducts and external grids

After drilling the holes (with the core drill), insert the plastic sheet (H) supplied with the air conditioner (fig. 11) inside them.
Since the sheet (H) was made for 202 mm holes, you will have to cut off 130 mm from the long side of the sheet for the 162 mm holes (fig. 11).

The sheets must be 65 mm shorter than the length of the wall.

Roll the sheet (H) and insert it into the hole, paying attention to the splicing line, which must always face upwards. (fig.11).
Use an ordinary cutter for the foregoing operation (fig. 11 – 12). To position the external grids, proceed as follows:
a. Apply the seal (G) to the wall flange (D), ensuring it lines up with the outer edge of the flange as indicated in the figure 13.
b. Fix the two flanges using 2 pegs having a diameter of 6 mm and check that the two fixing holes are horizontal (fig. 14 – 15 – 16). c. Fit the small eyelet of the spring, with the long stem, on the cap pin (on both components) (fig. 17). d. Insert the two caps (with spring), on the front part of the external grid, on its two housings, pulling until it clicks (fig. 18) and couple the two chains to the large eyelet of the spring. e. Using one hand, grip the two chains connected to the grid;
f. Bend the external grids back, gripping them with your free hand where they bend, and insert your fingers inside the single fins (fig. 19).). g. Insert your arm into the pipe until the grid protrudes completely outwards.
h. Reopen the grid, being careful to keep your fingers inside the fins.
i. Turn the grid until the fins are fully horizontal and tilted downwards.
l. Pull the chain, tensioning the spring, and couple the chain ring to the pin of the inner flange through which the pipes pass (fig. 20). m. Use hand shears to cut off any excess chain links.

Use exclusively the supplied grids (F), or grids with like characteristics.
2.4.4 – Preparing the holes on the machine
If 162 mm pipes are being used, the removal operation of part of the rear cover must not be performed.
In the event of use of Ø 202 mm holes, work as follows:
a. Use pincers to break the precut of the rear cover (fig. 21-A).
b. Then, rotate back and forth the part of the cover to be remove with the hand until breaking the remaining precut part (fig. 21-B).
c. Use a cutter to trim the possible insulating material in excess which remained inside the hole (fig. 21-B). 2.4.5 – Positioning of the device on the anchor brackets

Working on the two previously drilled holes (see fig. 6), fix the support bracket (L) to the wall using the supplied wall plugs screws (H) (fig. 22). After checking: that the fixing brackets are well an- chored to the wall, that the installation site has been prepared for electrical connection and condensation discharge (if necessary),
it is possible to hook the air conditioner.
Lift the air conditioner by holding it on the sides of the lower base and hook it to the bracket (L) (fig. 23). Slightly tilt the lower part of the appliance towards yourself to ease the operation.

To make the electrical connection and fasten the drainpipe, place a wedge between the air conditioner and the wall (see fig. 24).
When you have finished, inspect carefully to make sure there are no fissures at the back of the air conditioner (the insulating gasket must fit firmly against the wall) particularly in the zone where air enters and leaves the machine.

2.4.6 – Electric hook-up
The appliance is fitted with a power cord with plug (Y-type connection). If the socket is in proximity to the appliance, simply plug it in.

Before connecting the conditioner, ensure that:

The power supply voltage and frequency values comply with those indicated on the data plate of the appliance.
The power supply line is fitted with an efficient earth connection that is appropriately sized for the maximum absorption of the conditioner (minimum cross-section of the cable must be 1.5 mm2).
The appliance is powered exclusively through a socket that is compatible with the plug supplied.

Any replacement of the power cable must be carried out solely by authorized technical support or by similarly qualified personnel.
On the power supply line of the appliance there must be an adequate omnipolar disconnection device that complies with the national installation regulations. It is, however, necessary to check that the electrical power supply is equipped with efficient earthing and with adequate protections against overloading and/or short circuits (a type 10 AT delayed fuse or other devices with equivalent functions are recommended).

To replace the power cord, proceed as follows:
a. Remove the lower cover (interlocking) (A) (fig. 25). b. Remove the upper cover (interlocking) (B) (fig. 25).
c. Unscrew the 6 screws that lock the front cover (fig. 26). d. Remove the front cover (C) (fig. 27) and remove the cover of the electrical box (D) (fig. 27).
e. Unscrew the cable clamp (E) (fig. 27) and unscrew the cable locking screws of the terminal block (F) (fig. 27).
f. Remove the present cable and insert the new cable following the same path.
g. Remove the wooden wedge on the back of the machine.
h. Lock the three poles of the cable in the terminal block and tighten the screws (F) (fig. 27).
i. Secure the cable with the clamp (E) (fig. 27).
l. Close the board protection (D) (fig. 27). m. Refit the front cover of the machine with the six screws.
n. Reassemble the two interlocking covers (upper and lower).

2.5 – TOP/BOTTOM INSTALLATION CONFIGURATION
The unit can be installed both in the lower part (adjacent to the floor) and in the upper part (adjacent to the ceiling) of the wall.
To optimize air distribution and ambient comfort, the direction of the air flow can be changed by changing the position of the air outlet flap.
2.5.1 – Electronic configuration for lower or upper wall installations Work as follows (see fig. 28): a. Delicately open the flap and detach it from its side and central hooks on the deflectors.
b. Remove the pin (P1) and rotate the flap 180°.
c. Insert the pin (P1) on the right side of the flap.
d. Re-insert the flap by inserting the pin (P1) in the lower hole located on the right of the opening (P2) and insert the pin already located in the appliance in the lower hole located on the left of the opening.
Upper wall configuration determines an automatic correction of the room temperature equal to 3°c in heating mode.
For correct functionality, each modification of the configuration of the air outlet flap must correspond to the relative modification of the electronic configuration.
After performing the mechanical operations for changing the air outlet flap, it is necessary
to configure the control electronics of the machine (see fig.29): a. Connect the power supply line.
b. Make sure the machine is in stand-by, LED A on.
c. Keep the reset button H pressed until an acoustic signal sounds.

USE

3.1 – WARNINGS
The installation and electrical connection of the air conditioner should be carried out by specialized personnel who possess the requisites set forth by law.
The installation instructions are contained in the appropriate paragraph of this manual.
No structural object (furniture, curtains, plants, leaves, blinds, etc.) should ever obstruct the normal flow of air from either the internal or external gratings.

Never lean or, worse yet, sit on the casing of the air conditioner as this could cause serious damage to the external parts.
Do not move the air outlet flap by hand. Always use the remote control to adjust baffle position.
If the unit leaks water, switch it off immediately and disconnect it from the power mains. Call the nearest service centre.
When the air conditioner is heating, it has to periodically eliminate any ice that could form on the external battery. While it is doing this, the machine keeps running but does not heat the room.
This lasts for a brief period of time, from 3 to a maximum of 10 minutes.
Clean the air filter periodically, as described in the specific paragraph (4.1.2).

The air conditioner must not be installed in rooms where explosive gasses develop or where there are conditions of heat and humidity beyond the maximum limits indicated in the installation manual.
3.2 – DESCRIPTION OF THE WARNING PANEL
In the upper right part of the appliance are located a few keys and LEDs whose functions are described in the paragraph (4.3.3).

3.3 – USE OF THE REMOTE CONTROL
The remote control supplied with the air-conditioner is the instrument that enables you to use the appliance in the most convenient way.
It should be handled with care and in particular:

Keep it dry (do not clean it with water or leave it outdoors in bad weather).
Avoid dropping or bumping it.
Keep it out of direct sunlight.
The remote control operates by means of an infrared beam.
During use, there must not be any obstacle between the remote control and the air-conditioner.
If other appliances in the room have remote controls (TV, stereo, etc…), there may be interference with consequent loss of the sent signal.
Electronic and fluorescent lights may also interfere with transmissions between remote control and air-conditioner.
Remove the batteries in case of prolonged disuse of the remote control.
The remote control display goes off after a few seconds of nonuse, to reactivate it press any key.

3.3.1 – Insertion of batteries (fig. 31) To insert the batteries correctly:
a. Remove the batteries compartment cover.
b. Insert the batteries into the relevant compartment.
Check the polarity indicated on the bottom of the compartment.
c. Close the compartment correctly.
3.3.2 – Replacement of batteries
The batteries should be replaced when the display on the remote control does not appear sharply or when the remote control does not change the settings.
Always use new batteries and replace both at the same time.
The use of old or different batteries could generate malfunctioning of the remote control.
The remote control uses two dry alkaline 1.5V batteries (AAA.LR03) (fig. 31).
When the batteries have been replaced, adjust the remote control clock.
When replacing batteries, replace both and dispose of the dead batteries in the appropriate collection centres and as required by law.

If the remote control is not used for several weeks or longer, remove the batteries.
Any leaks from the batteries could damage the remote control.
The average life-span of the batteries, with normal use, is approx. six months.
Replace the batteries when the indoor unit command receipt “beep” can no longer be heard, or if the transmission indicator on the remote control does not switch on.

Do not re-charge or disassemble the batteries. Do not throw the batteries into the fire. They can burn and explode.
If the battery liquid falls onto the skin or clothes, wash well with clean water. Do not use the remote control with batteries that have leaked. The chemical products contained in the batteries can cause burns or other risks to health.

3.3.3 – Location of the remote controller

Keep the remote control in a position from which the signal can reach the appliance receiver (maximum distance is about 8 meters – with charged batteries) (fig. 32).
The presence of obstacles (furniture, curtains, walls, etc.) between the remote control and the appliance reduces the remote control range.

3.4 – DESCRIPTION OF REMOTE CONTROL

3.5 – DESCRIPTION OF THE AIR CONDITIONER FUNCTIONS
3.5.1 – Main switch-on and running management

The machine is equipped with a power switch (P); the switch (P) must be positioned to “I” in order to work.
Press the switch in position “I” to start the appliance.
The machine may be regulated using the remote control.
In order to transmit commands to the indoor appliance, point the front of the remote control toward the appliance’s control panel.
The device emits a beep when it receives a command.
The maximum distance from which the appliance can be controlled is about 8 meters (with charged batteries).

3.5.2 – ECO key

Not available for this model.

3.5.3 – Turning the unit ON/OFF

Press key B1 on the remote control to activate or deactivate (stand-by) the air conditioner.
The control system of the unit is equipped with memory, for this reason all the settings won’t be lost when shutting off the appliance itself.

In case of prolonged stop of the machine, it must be deactivated turning the main switch off or unplugging the machine from the mains.

3.5.4 – Operation in “Cooling” mode only

When used in this mode, the air conditioner dehumidifies and cools the room.
To activate this mode, press the key B4 on the remote control several times until the D3 symbol appears on the display.
In this run mode, the required temperature and fan speed can be set.
After three minutes (as a maximum) from activation in this operating mode the compressor will start and theappliance starts emitting cold air.
The start of the compressor is indicated by the lighting up of the LED B (green) located on the console (fig.29).

3.5.5 – Operation in “Dehumidification” mode only

When used in this mode, the air conditioner eliminates the humidity in the room. This function can be extremely useful between seasons, particularly on rainy days when the temperature is not uncomfortable but the excess humidity feels unpleasant.
In this mode, both room temperature and fan speed settings are ignored, which correspond to minimum.
Any indication of fan temperature and speed disappears from the remote control display.
To activate this mode, press the B4 key on the remote control several times until the D4 symbol and the D1 automatic ventilation symbol appear on the display.
In this operating mode it is normal for the air conditioner to function intermittently.

3.5.6 – Operation in “Ventilation” mode only

When used in this mode the air conditioner does not perform any action with regard to temperature and air humidity in the room.
To activate this mode, press key B4 on the remote control several times until the automatic ventilation symbol D1 appears on the remote control display.

3.5.7 – Operation in “Spa” mode only (Automatic)

In this mode, the machine’s temperature is automatically regulated according to the room’s temperature. The fan speed is also automatically regulated according to the set temperature (except in dehumidification mode).
To activate this mode, press the B4 key on the remote control several times until the D7 symbol appears on the display.

3.5.8 – Operation in “Heating” mode only (only models fitted with heating pump)

Using this mode, the appliance heats the room.
This function is only available for the versions with heat pump (HP).
To activate this mode, press button B4 on the remote control several times until the D2 symbol appears on the display.
In this run mode, the required temperature and fan speed can be set. After three minutes (maximum time) the compressor should start and the air conditioner starts heating the room.
The start of the compressor is indicated by the lighting up of the LED B (green) located on the console (fig.29).

The air conditioner has to defrost its battery periodically.
During this operation the air conditioner does not heat the room, though its internal parts remain on except for the room air fan.
when the outdoor temperature is very low, there may be a slight delay for passage from the minimum to the medium or maximum speed from when the command is sent to the machine with the remote control.
Like delays might occur on activating the swinging function of the mobile baffle.
After having turned off the unit, the internal fan runs seconds more.
Then it stops and both air flaps close.

3.5.9 -Checking airflow direction

Press key B8 on the remote control to activate/deactivate the continuous oscillation of the moving air outlet deflector (1).
When continuous oscillation is active, an additional press of the key B8 allows to lock the deflector so as to obtain the desired vertical direction for the air flow.

The moving deflector position must never be forced manually.
3.5.10 – Checking fan speed

The fan speed check occurs through key B5 (on the remote control).
Pressing several times this key will cause speed to change according to the following sequence:
Low > Medium > High > Automatic.
The higher the speed setting, the greater the output of the air conditioner but also the louder its operation.
By setting the Automatic mode, the onboard microprocessor adjusts the automatic speed. The higher the difference between the room temperature detected and the temperature set, the higher the speed.
As the room temperature nears the setting, fan speed is reduced automatically.
In dehumidification mode, it is not possible to control the speed as the appliance can only operate exclusively at low speed.

3.5.11 – SILENT key

To activate this mode, press the B3 key on the remote control, the D6 symbol appears on the display.
Activating the night function (SILENT) allows you to obtain multiple results:
– gradual increase in the set temperature during cooling mode
– gradual decrease in the set temperature for heating (HP versions only)
– reduction of the sound level of the appliance
– savings on nightly electricity consumption
To activate the night function, it is necessary to select the operating mode and the desired temperature first, then press key B3 to activate it.
Ideally, the activation of the night key should be done immediately before falling asleep.
In cooling mode, the set temperature is maintained for an hour after activating the night key.
In the following two hours the setting is gradually increased, while the fan operation is set to low speed.
After the second hour, the temperature setting and the fan setting are not further altered.
In heating, the set temperature is maintained for an hour after activating the night key.
Over the next two hours, the setting is gradually lowered, while the fan operation is set to low speed.
After the second hour, the temperature setting and the fan setting are not further altered.
The night key is not available for operation in dehumidification and ventilation only.
The night key can be disabled at any time (ideally upon awakening) by pressing button B3 once more.
At this point, the fan temperature and speed settings that were set before activating this function are restored.

3.5.12 – Timer setting

The appliance logic allows the User to make use of two different timer programs (see paragraph 3.5.14), thanks to which the appliance can be deactivated and activated (or vice versa) whenever desired (for example, it can be activated shortly before returning home so as to find an already pleasant temperature in the room).
Firstly, if it is desired to make use of these functions, set the correct time (see paragraph 3.5.13) and then set the timer as you prefer.

3.5.13 – Timer and clock setting

To switch off the air conditioner, press the microswitch again.
From the moment the remote control becomes available again, restore normal air conditioning control by issuing any command via the remote control.
3.6 – RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ENERGY SAVINGS
Below find simple recommendations for reducing consumption:

Always and constantly keep the filters clean (see maintenance and cleaning chapter).
Keep the doors and windows of the rooms to be climate controlled closed.
Avoid the sun’s rays penetrating freely into the room (we recommend using curtains or lowering blinds or closing the shutters).
Do not obstruct the unit air flow (inlet and outlet), i.e. in addition to bad performance of the system, it also affects correct operation and the possibility of irreparable faults to the units.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Before proceeding with any maintenance and cleaning, always make sure the system has been switched off, using the remote control, and the power supply plug has been disconnected from the system socket (or the upstream master isolating switch is positioned at “0” OFF). Do not touch the metal parts of the unit when removing the air filters. They are very sharp. Cuts or injury risk.
4.1 – CLEANING
4.1.1 – Appliance and remote control cleaning
Use a dry cloth to clean the appliance and the remote control (fig. 34).
It is possible to use a cloth moistened with cold water to clean the appliance if it is very dirty.
Suck between the air inlet and outlet grilles (fig. 34). Do not use a chemically treated or antistatic cloth to clean the appliance.
Do not use gasoline, solvent, polish or similar solvents.
These products could cause the breakage or deformation of the plastic surface.
4.1.2 – Cleaning the air filter
To ensure effective internal air filtration and good air conditioning operation, it is essential to periodically clean the air filter or when the LED A (red) on it lights up.
The air filter is at the top of the unit.
Filter extraction:
a. Electrically disconnect the appliance.
b. Switch off the unit and wait for the closure of the suction flap.
c. Manually raise the air suction grille (3) (fig. 35).
d. Raise the front part of the filter (F) and slightly pull it towards yourself (fig. 35). e. Extract the two additional filters (fig. 36) from the filter group (F):(green purifying filter ref. F1 – black active carbons filter ref. F2).
f. Perfectly wash and dry all the filters. Filter reassembly:
g. Insert the active carbon group (F2) on the filter group (F) locking it on the special tabs (X1) (fig. 36).
h. Insert the purifying filter (F1) on the first pin on the filter group (X2), pulling it slightly and locking it on the other two pins present (X3) (fig. 36)
i. Reassemble the filters group (F1-F2) inserting the rear edge inside the grid (fig.37).
l. Manually close the air suction grille (3) (fig. 37). To deactivate the LED A (if on), after cleaning and repositioning the filters, electrically connect the appliance then press the reset key H briefly using a pointed object.
In this way, the signal relating to the need for filter cleaning is reset.

4.2 – MAINTENANCE
If you plan to idle the unit for a long time, perform the following:
a. Stop the air conditioner and disconnect the power supply.
b. Remove the batteries from the remote control.
Do not perform them alone.

4.2.1 – Routine maintenance
The air conditioner that you have purchased has been designed to reduce routine maintenance operations to a minimum.
These operations involve solely the cleaning operations outlined below:

Cleaning or washing of the ambient air filter every 2 weeks or every time the relative red LED lights up (this can be done by the user, see user manual).
Cleaning of the condensing battery and cleaning of the condensate management system.

These operations must be carried out by skilled technicians on a regular basis that will depend on the place of installation and intensity of use.
Depending on the quantity of dirt, the unit can be cleaned dry (by using a battery compressor and bowl and cleaning the fins with a soft brush taking care not to deform them) or more thoroughly using dedicated detergents.
4.2.2 – Condensation water drainage in case of emergency
If anomalies occur in the condensation water disposal system, the air conditioner stops and signals the alarm status with the intermittent lighting up of LED A, LED B and LED C (fig.29). To enable the air conditioner to work temporarily until the service personnel arrive, you can drain the water out by following these simple instructions (fig. 38): Remove the bottom cover.
a. Remove the cap (6a) after having placed a good-sized container underneath it (at least 5-liter capacity) to collect the water.
b. After having cleared the fault, the service personnel will close the evacuation pipe.
4.3 – DIAGNOSIS, ALARMS AND INCONVENIENCES
4.3.1 – Diagnosis of the inconveniences
It is important for the User to distinguish between functional problems and anomalies in relation to the behaviour of the appliance as foreseen for its normal operation. Furthermore, the most common problems may easily be solved through simple operations on behalf of the User (See paragraph 4.3.5 – Anomalies and solutions).
For all the other reports (see paragraph: 4.3.3 – 4.3.4), it is necessary to always contact the technical assistance service”
Any attempt to repair the appliance by unauthorised personnel will immediately invalidate any form of guarantee.
4.3.2 – Functional aspects not to be mistaken for anomalies
The following events may occur during normal operation:
a. The compressor does not start up again immediately after a stop (it takes about three minutes to start again).
– In the operating logic of the appliance a delay between a compressor stop and its successive restart has been included, so that the compressor itself is protected against activations that are too frequent.
b. During the heating operation of the heat pump appliances, the flow of hot air may occur some minutes after activation of the compressor.
– Should the fan start at the same time as the compressor, for the first few minutes it would emit cold air into the room (and this could bother the occupants) since the unit has not yet reached steady running conditions.
4.3.3 – Console led signals
In the event that the air conditioner is blocked, the LEDs highlight an alarm signal as per table “TAB1”.
