THE REFRIGERANT R290

Appliance is lled with ammable

gas R290.

• To realize the function of the air conditioner unit, a special refrigerant circulates in the system. The refrigerant is the

uoride R290 = 3 GWP (Global warming potential). This refrigerant is ammable and inodorous. It can lead to

explosions under certain conditions, however the ammability of this refrigerant is very low and it can be ignited

only by re.

• Compared to other common refrigerants, R290 is a non-polluting refrigerant with no harm to the ozonosphere and

a no effect upon the greenhouse effect. R290 has very good thermodynamic features which lead to a really high

energy efciency. The units therefore need less lling.

Warning:

Do not try to accelerate the defrosting process or to clean the appliance in different ways other than those recommended

by the manufacturer.

Should repair be necessary, contact your nearest authorized Service Centre.

Any repairs carried out by unqualied personnel may be dangerous.

The appliance has to be stored in a room that doesn’t have any continuously operating ignition sources. (for example:

open ames, an operating gas appliance or an operating electric heater.)

Do not pierce or burn.

Appliance has to be installed, used and stored in a room with a oor area larger than 12 m2.

Before installing and using the

appliance, read the owner

manual.

Before installing the appliance,

read the installation manual. Any repairs you need, contact the nearest

authorized Service Centre and strictly follow

manufacturer’s Service Manual.

HOW TO USE THE APPLIANCE

OPERATING MODES

This appliance can be used for cooling, dehumidifying and ventilating. When switching between modes, the fan

continues to rotate but the compressor stops: the compressor will start after 3 minutes. This delay protects the compressor

from potential damage.

THE DRAINAGE TUBE MUST BE CONNECTED to the appliance AT ALL TIMES: the only exception is when the

appliance is used in dehumidication mode only, in which case the appliance should be left to discharge directly

into the room for maximum efciency (see the “Dehumidication Mode” paragraph).

Clean the air lters under the easily removable rear grille regularly to keep the air conditioner working efciently.

1. COOLING MODE (COOL)

• The “Cool” LED on the control panel will turn on.

• The temperature can be adjusted to between 16 °C and 32 °C.

• In this mode, each time the ON/OFF button is pressed the unit switches off, the appliance saves the

temperature setting and retains this setting when it is switched on again.

• In this mode, the fan speed can be adjusted and the Timer and SLEEP functions can be set.

• For more silent operation, run the fan at low speed.

2. DEHUMIDIFICATION MODE (DRY)

• Press the MODE button to select the dehumidication mode.

• The temperature is controlled by the electronic board and cannot be adjusted.

• In this mode, each time the ON/OFF button is pressed the unit switches off, the appliance saves the settings

and retains them when it is switched on again.

• The fan speed is set to low and cannot be adjusted.

NOTE: the air conditioner does not cool the room when operating as a dehumidier. When the appliance is

used as a dehumidier, the exible pipe must not be connected. For maximum dehumidication efciency, leave

the rear discharge attachment free to discharge directly into the environment. The dehumidication mode is

recommended during autumn and winter. If used during summer, it is best to leave the exible pipe attached so

that the hot air is discharged towards the outside rather than into the room. During dehumidication, continuous

drainage should be implemented (see the next chapter, “HOW TO ELIMINATE CONDENSATE”).

3. FAN MODE (FAN)

• Press the MODE button to select ventilation until the corresponding icon appears.

• In this mode, the fan speed can be adjusted.

• The temperature cannot be adjusted.

Cooling, Fan Dehumidifying

30V 04/23

HOW TO ELIMINATE CONDENSATE

This appliance automatically vaporises condensate in the cooling mode. When the air conditioner operates in cooling

mode, there is no need to drain condensate continuously; only in certain weather conditions with very humid air may it

occur that water deposits inside the unit. When its inner tank is full, the air conditioner beeps 8 times and the message

“P1” appears on the display to signal that the tank is full and stop the appliance’s operation.

Cooling

When the unit operates in the cooling mode, ensure that the rubber cap closing

the drainage opening on the back of the appliance is properly positioned. To

empty the container, switch the air conditioner off and unplug the cord. Remove

the cap from the rear drainage opening and place its end over a normal drain.

Ensure that the tube is not twisted or bent. The tube must slope downwards. Re-

close the drainage opening with the cap, insert it into the clamp and resume use

of the air conditioner.

Dehumidication

ATTENTION! When using the air conditioner in Dehumidication, it is advisable to always arrange the continuous

drainage to ensure maximum dehumidication efciency. Use the drainage hole in the middle. The water can be

drained into a drain by simply connecting the supplied hose. Avoid draining tube bends.
