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

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 dehumidication mode only, in which case the appliance should be left to discharge directly
into the room for maximum efciency (see the “Dehumidication Mode” paragraph).
Clean the air lters under the easily removable rear grille regularly to keep the air conditioner working efciently.
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 dehumidication 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 dehumidier. When the appliance is
used as a dehumidier, the exible pipe must not be connected. For maximum dehumidication efciency, leave
the rear discharge attachment free to discharge directly into the environment. The dehumidication 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 dehumidication, 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.
Dehumidication
ATTENTION! When using the air conditioner in Dehumidication, it is advisable to always arrange the continuous
drainage to ensure maximum dehumidication efciency. 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.
