WARNING! Before using the air conditioner it should be left in an upright position for at least 2 hours.

This unit can easily be moved from one room to another. In doing so keep this in mind:
–

Ensure that the unit is positioned upright, on a level surface and 50 cm away from obstacles.

– To place the loose filters in the filter holder.

• Take the filter holder out of the air conditioner

• Release the filter fixer and place the active carbon filter (black) and 3M™ High Air Flow
filter (white), where included, in the filter holder.

• Place the filter fixer back in the holder.

• Place the filter holder back in the air conditioner.

–

Do not operate the unit inside the bathroom, shower, or in any other very humid environment.

– Connect the hose to the unit by turning it clockwise (at least 5 turns).

– Similarly, connect the hose to the slide bar connector as far as possible.

– Place the telescopic slide bar in the open window or door and

adjust

the length to fill as much open space as possible.

– Put the slide bar connector in the opening in the telescopic slide

ba

The flexible exhaust hose can be extended from 500 to 1500 mm for mounting. This length
has

been designed especially according to the specifications of the air conditioner. Do not

use

an extension or exchange for a different hose as that may lead to malfunctioning. The
exhaust air must flow freely, any blockage can lead to overheating of the air conditioner.
Take care to prevent any sharp bow or bend in the exhaust.

Filter installation

• Slide out the filter holder from the unit.

• Separate the filter fixer from the filter holder (see fig. 1).

This air conditioner can be equipped with a 3-layer filter to clean the circulated room air.

a. Screen filter; to remove bigger dust particles.
b. All models: active carbon filter; to remove odours.
c.

3M™ High Air Flow filter: to remove unhealthy particles from the air such as pollen, bacteria,

animal dander and dust. Selected models have the 3M™ High Air Flow filter as standard.
However, if you require to add this to your model, or wish to purchase a replacement, call
Atlantic for details.

NOTE! The active carbon filter and the 3M™ High Air Flow filter are delivered in a plastic
packaging. Don’t forget to install these filters. These filters take away unhealthy particles out
of the room environment.

The filter holder on the rear of the unit can be opened. The active carbon filter and

3M™ High

Air Flow filter

can be installed or removed. The screen filter is part of the filter holder (see

illustration).

a. The screen filter has to be cleaned regularly with a vacuum cleaner to avoid blocking of the

air flow.

b. The positive/negative electrostatically charged

3M™ High Air Flow filter is recommended to
be changed every 3 months. Unusual dirt, construction work, pets, the presence of smoke
and running the air conditioning unit continuously can shorten the life time of the

3M™

High Air Flow filter

.

c. The active carbon filter can be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner when dusty but has to be

changed at the same time as the

3M™ High Air Flow filter.

The unit responds to all signals that are sent by the remote control. There will be
a beep sound from the unit after receiving the signal.
The operation of the unit by remote control, is almost identical to the operation
by the circular control panel. The only exception is the clock function.
Instead of the button for setting the actual time and for programming the
timer, there are 3 push buttons on the remote control as follows:

• - for setting the actual time.

• TIMER ON - for programming the time when the unit is ON.

• TIMER OFF - for programming the time when the unit is OFF.

REMOTE CONTROL

EMPTYING THE INTERNAL WATER CONTAINER

damaging your floor or carpet.

• Place the water container on the floor underneath the permanent
drainage point.

• Remove the water stopper and rubber plug from the drain and let the
wa

ter run out. The water container has to be emptied several times

before all water will be drained (ca. 1.5 litres).

• Replace the rubber plug and water stopper, put the plug into the wall socket,
and

switch the unit on.

The warning signal should be off.

filters at the beginning of the new season. The old filters can be disposed in the ‘Non-biological
garbage container’.
