The Refrigerant R290

 To realize the function of the air conditioner unit, a special refrigerant circulates in the

system. The refrigerant is the fluoride R290 = 3 GWP (Global warming potential). This

refrigerant is flammable and inodorous. It can lead to explosions under certain conditions,

however the flammability of this refrigerant is very low and it can be ignited only by fire.

 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 efficiency. The units therefore

need less filling.

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 Argoclima Service Centre. Any repairs carried out by unqualified 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 flames, an operating gas appliance or an

operating electric heater.) Do not pierce or burn.

Appliance has to be installed, operated and stored in a room with a floor area larger than 4 m2.

For repairs, strictly follow manufacturer’s instructions only for appliances filled with R290

flammable gas. Be aware that refrigerants do not have any odour.

HOW TO USE THE APPLIANCE

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.

Dehumidification

THE DISCHARGE TUBE MUST ALWAYS BE CONNECTED to the appliance: the only exception is when the

appliance is used solely for dehumidification, in which case it is advisable to let the appliance discharge directly

into the environment for maximum efficiency (consult the "Dehumidification Mode" paragraph).

Regularly clean the air filters beneath the easily removable rear grille to keep the air conditioner working efficiently.

OPERATING MODES

1. COOLING MODE (COOL)

 The "Cool" LED on the control panel will turn on.

 The temperature can be adjusted to between 16 °C and 31 °C.

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

2. DEHUMIDIFICATION MODE (DEHUM)



Press the MODE button to select Dehumidification.



The temperature is automatically set 2 degrees below the room temperature.



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

NOTE

The air conditioner does not cool the room when it is used as a dehumidifier.

When the appliance is used as a dehumidifier, the flexible hose must not be connected.

For maximum dehumidification efficiency, leave the rear discharge attachment free to discharge directly into

the environment.

The dehumidification mode is recommended during autumn and winter.

If used in summer, it is best to leave the flexible hose attached so that the hot air can be discharged towards

the outside rather than into the room.

3. VENTILATION MODE (FAN)



Press the MODE button to select Fan and wait until the relative icon appears.



In this mode, the fan speed can be adjusted.
