HOW TO USE THE APPLIANCE

This appliance can be used for cooling, dehumidifying and ventilation purposes.

Before using the appliance, leave it standing erect for at least two hours.

When switching between modes, the fan continues to turn but the compressor stops: the compressor will re-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 dehumidification mode only, in which case the appliance should be left to discharge directly

into the room for maximum efficiency (see the “Dehumidification Mode” paragraph).

Clean the air filters under the easily removable rear grille regularly to keep the air conditioner working efficiently.

OPERATING MODES

1. COOLING MODE

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

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

When the appliance is used as a dehumidifier, the flexible pipe 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.

Cooling, Fan

Dehumidifying

V 12/16

If used during summer, it is best to leave the flexible pipe attached so that the hot air is discharged towards

the outside rather than into the room.

During dehumidification, continuous drainage should be implemented (see the next chapter, “HOW TO ELIMINATE

CONDENSATE”).

3. FAN MODE

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.

HOW TO ELIMINATE CONDENSATE

Manual drainage

Cooling

This appliance automatically vaporises condensate in the cooling mode.

Ensure that when the unit is operating in cooling mode, the rubber caps

closing the drainage holes on the rear of the appliance are properly

positioned.

When the air conditioner operates in cooling mode, there is no need for

continuous condensate drainage; only in specific weather conditions with very

high air humidity levels may water deposit inside the unit. When the container

is full, the “Full” LED (full tank) lights up on the control panel to signal that full

status and block the appliance’s operation.

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

the cap form the rear drainage hole and direct it over a normal drain.

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

Re-close the drainage hole with the cap and resume use of the air conditioner.

Continuous drainage

Dehumidification

WARNING!

When using the air conditioner in dehumidification mode, it is advisable to

always arrange for continuous drainage, so as to maximise dehumidification

efficiency.

Connect one end of the PVC pipe (not provided) to the upper discharge hole

and place the other end above a drain.

2. Insert the batteries (LR03/1.5 V) into the remote control

and make sure the poles match.

3. Put the cover back on.

4. Point the remote control towards the receiver on the air

conditioner.

5. The remote control should be positioned within 6 metres

from the receiver.

6. There must be no obstacles between the remote control

and the receiver.

7. Do not drop or launch the remote control.

8. Do not leave the remote control under strong sunlight or

heating devices and other source of heat.

9. Remove the batteries from the remote control when the

latter is not used for a long time.

10. If no sound is heard and the transmission symbol on the

display does not flash, the batteries must be replaced.

11. If the system resets when the remote control button is

pressed, the electrical signal is poor and the batteries must

be replaced.

12. Flat batteries must be disposed of correctly.

all the function keys. These may be of a slightly different material

(depending on the model).

INFORMATION FOR THE CORRECT DISPOSAL OF BATTERIES IN ACCORDANCE WITH EUROPEAN DIRECTIVE

2006/66/EC

Replace batteries when they are depleted. At the end of their life, batteries must be disposed of separately from unsorted waste.

They must be taken to designated recycling centres or returned to a retailer providing this service. Separate disposal of batteries

prevents potential negative effects on the environment and human health due to inadequate disposal, and also allows for

recovering and recycling their constituent materials, resulting in significant savings in terms of energy and resources. The separate

disposal obligation is underlined by the crossed-out dustbin symbol appearing on the battery. Illegal disposal of the product by the

user implies administrative sanctions applied as per current regulations.
