During the summer, optimum comfort is achieved with a temperature of around 24 °C and 50%

relative humidity.

An air conditioner removes moisture and heat from the room where it is located. One advantage

of portable air conditioning units over fitted models is that they can be moved from one room to

another in the home or even transferred between different buildings.

The hot air in your room is passed through

a coil cooled by refrigerant gas,

removing excess heat and moistu-

re before being discharged

again into the room.

In single unit models, a small

amount of this air is used to

cool the refrigerant gas,

then the hot and moist air is

discharged outside.

Preparation for use

HOW TO USE THE AIRCONDITIONER WITH WATER

These air conditioners can use both air and water to cool the condenser (the hot part) of the air

conditioner.

To utilise the full potential of your air conditioner, the tank needs to be filled with water. The water

is used. To increase the cooling power and reduce the noise level and energy consumption of the air

conditioner. The water that is used in then expelled from the machine as water vapour through the

exhaust hose (it does not go into room).

Always use clean top water (which doesn’t contain salts). As a rule the water will usually last about 8

hours however this depends on the conditions within the room, such as temperature, humidity, insula-

tion and aspect and number of people. In turbo mode the water will also be used more quickly.

You may also use the airconditioner on air cooling only (without filling the water tank ). If you only requi-

re the lower cooling power.

A) To open the front panel

grip either side of the

panel and gently pull

the panel towards you and

upwards. Remove the tank

Lifting it forward.

B) Turn the tank upside down

and remove the plug,

remove the extendible

tube and fill the tank, lea-

ving it on the ground.

C) After completing the fil-

ling procedure, replace

the extendible hose,

replace the cap and

screw it in tightly. Return

the tank to its place, with

the writing FRONT clearly

visible. Carefully hold the

panel in the centre and

lower to its closed posi-

tion.

During the "water functioning" operation and in particularly silent locations (eg the bedroom) a

slight gurgling sound may be heard. This is completely normal.

IN HIGH HUMIDITY CONDITIONS

Water is extracted from the air in the room, this water is also used to cool the condenser. When

the humidity is particulary high an excess of water may buid up in the internal tank. This can be

drained by removing the bung from the drain hose and draining into a suitable receptacle.

IMPORTANT: if the room temperature is 32°C or over the airconditioner must be operated with with

water in the tank.

Setting the timer

SETTING THE TIMER (if supplied)

The programmer/timer , like all clocks,

must be set to the exact time. If for example

it is 4.00 pm. (16.00), turn the dial in a clockwi-

se direction (following the direction of the

arrow) until the number 16 is lined up with the

triangular pointer (the arrows indicates 4:00

P.M. approximately ).

pointer

N.B.: Never turn the dial in an anti-clockwise

direction!

The timer is in effect, an electric clock and

works only if the plug is connected to the

power supply. Whenever the plug is discon-

nected or there is a power failure, the pro-

grammer stops (the clock is then “slow”) and

must be re-set.

PROGRAMMED MODE

1) Set the operating times by pushing out the

notches on the dial corresponding to the

period required (each notch represents 15

mins.)

2) Press the TIMER key , the signal light

will come ON.

3) Make sure that the timer indicates the cor-

rect time (see instructions on setting).

Funzionamento

4) Select the desired function as shown in the

chart overleaf.

N.B.: To override the programmed operating

times, simply press the ON/OFF key (the

timer signal lamp ON will go out)

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Before plugging in check that:

•the mains supply corresponds to the

power supply shown on the rating plate;

•the socket and the mains lead correspond

to the power requirements of the applian-

ce;

•the socket is suited to the plug, otherwise

have the socket replaced;

•the socket is properly grounded.

Turning on and Selecting functions

AIR CONDITIONING FUNCTIONS

To turn the unit on in air conditioning mode,

proceed as follows:

1. Press the button (the signal light “I”

will come on).

2. Rotate the function selector dial anti-

clockwise:

•Place the large star symbol in line with

the reference mark to operate the unit in

air conditioning mode at maximum fan

speed.

•Place the small star symbol in line with

the reference mark to operate the unit in

air conditioning mode at minimum fan

speed.

3. Now set the required temperature by rota-

ting the room thermostat dial .

Note

The temperature is not expressed in degrees.

We recommend that you turn the thermostat

dial to the maximum position. The signal light

will come on. When the desired room

temperature has been reached, slowly turn

the thermostat in a clockwise direction

until it arrives at the position where a click can

be heard. The signal light will turn off.

The temperature selected in this way will

automatically be regulated and maintained,

and save energy. When regulating the ther-

mostat, the air conditioning function is tem-

porarily interrupted and the unit continues to

operate in fan only mode. In this way, the

appliance keeps the air temperature within

the room even.

Delay on Start Up

1. A special safety device will delay the start

of air conditionig by approximately 3 to 5

Descaling

When the scale deposits become excessive

(on average, after about 400 hours of opera-

tion) or in any case, at least once each sea-

son, it is very important to proceed with the

decalcification of the appliance as described

below.

To remove the scale from the appliance, you

need:

•20 % of descaling liquid

•80 % of clean water

Proceed as follows:

1) Remove the tank from the appliance

and drain the water remaining in the col-

lection reservoir by using the drainage

hose (fig. H).

2) Close the drainage hose . Pour 500 ml

of decalcifying liquid and

2 litres of clean water into the collection

reservoir which is found under the tank

(fig. I), on the bottom of the appliance.

3) Operate the air conditioner for about half

an hour.

4) After this, drain out all of the liquid remai-

ning in the collection reservoir and rinse

thoroughly. During the rinsing process, the

drainage hose must be open and the

appliance functioning.

5) Unplug the appliance from the mains and

clean the collection reservoir thoroughly

with a clean cloth.

6) After cleaning the collection reservoir, the

air conditioner can be used normally.
