Requirements for Use

❏ This appliance must be connected to a 220/240

Requirements for
use

V 50 Hz mains electricity supply using an
earthed plug.

❏ It must be protected with a 10 Aslow-action fuse.
❏ Should an extension lead be needed, this lead

must be at least 1,5 mm2per terminal thick, no
more than 25 m. long and earthed.

❏ There is a cavity at the back of the appliance for

the mains electricity supply connection wire.

❏ Do not allow water to enter the appliance.
❏ Do not block the air inlets or outlets on your

appliance, especially when used for heating.

Should the mains electricity supply wire be
damaged in any way, it must only be replaced with
a wire of similar characteristics. Get in touch with
the manufacturer, after-sales service or similarly
qualified person.

Warning!
If the appliance is turned off and then turned

back on again, there is a 3-minute interval
before the compressor starts up again. This
interval is necessary in order for the appliance
to work properly.

Transportation
requirements

There are castors fitted on your appliance to make
moving it easier. If it is necessary to tilt your
appliance in order to move it, then the internal
water tank must be drained first. To do this, connect
drainage pipe to stopcock at the bottom of the
appliance.

Warning!
Be particularly careful when transporting this

unit. There is a water drainage pipe on the
bottom of the appliance which may break if
knocked.

Instructions for Use

❏ Plug your appliance in.

Temperature
control

❏ Lead the hot-air expulsion duct outdoors.
❏ Set to maximum or silent temperature

control.

❏ Turn the drainage stopcock to the cooling

position.

❏ Set the thermostat to the desired temperature.

Should the appliance turn itself off by thermostat,
it will not come back on again until room
temperature goes up 2-3°C.

The appliance lowers the temperature and dries the

air in the room at the same time in order to create

ideal air conditions.

Condensed water formed during air conditioning
evaporates automatically and is expelled outdoors,
together with hot air, through the hot-air expulsion

duct. In conditions of extreme humidity, the

appliance accumulates water in an internal tank.
When the water in this tank reaches a certain level,
safety pilot light comes on, indicating that the tank

needs to be emptied.

❏ Turn the appliance off and wait 10 minutes for

the safety systems to reset.

❏ Turn drainage stopcock 90° in an anti-clockwise

direction.

❏ Remove the plug from stopcock 10 and insert

drainage pipe.

❏ Place a bowl at the drainage pipe outlet to collect

the condensed water in.

❏ Set the appliance to either the temperature

control or dehumidification position.

Warning!
Do not forget to put the plug back in place on

the drainage stopcock and to turn the stopcock
90° in a clockwise direction before setting the

appliance to the temperature control setting.
The appliance will shed water if you fail to do

so.

Ways of releasing
air outdoors

Temporary installation

Permanent installation The appliance can be installed on a permanent

❏ Connect the diffusion duct to the hot-air

expulsion duct.

❏ Open the window slightly and feed the diffusion

duct through the gap.

❏ Close the window as much as possible and

secure it in place using the suction pad provided.

basis using window/wall Optional Accessory,

reference B1 RKZ 06009, available from your

supplier.

❏ A hole must be made in the wall and the wall

accessory fitted in order to expel hot air.

❏ Store the diffusion duct away and connect the air

expulsion duct to the accessory.

❏ Only the transparent end section of the

accessory is used when air is to be expelled
through a window on a permanent basis. A10.5­cm. diameter hole must be made in the glass in
order to fit the accessory.

N.B.

• Do not extend the hot-air expulsion duct more

than necessary (maximum length: 140 cm.).

• There must be a distance of at least 70 cm.

between the floor and the end of the duct.

• Do not bend the duct too sharply when positioning

it.

This can impede proper hot-air expulsion, which
may reduce cooling efficiency.

9

Dehumidification

When set to , the appliance removes humidity

from the atmosphere. It does not, however, control
the temperature.

❏ Turn drainage stopcock 90° in an anti-clockwise

direction.

❏ Remove stopcock plug and insert drainage pipe.

stored in the main filter compartment.

❏ Place a bowl at the drainage pipe outlet to collect

the condensed water in.

❏ Put the air extraction duct in storage position.
❏ Set control knob to dehumidification position .
❏ The amount of water removed from the air can

reach as much as 30 liters/24 hours, depending
on atmospheric conditions.

Warning!

• Do not forget to put the plug back in place on

the drainage stopcock and to turn the
stopcock 90° in a clockwise direction before
setting the appliance to the temperature
control setting. The appliance will shed water
should you fail to do so.

• Always remember that in order for the
dehumidification function to work properly,
ambient temperature must be at least 18°C.

Air purification

10

The air inside a room is circulated through a set of
purifying filters when the appliance is set to this
function.

❏ The appliance comes with a main filter with a

double active purifying filter. This special filter is
for:

- Smells and smoke.

- Pollen, bacteria and dust.

❏ Put the air expulsion duct in the same position as

for dehumidification.

❏ Set purification speed setting: maximum

or silent .

❏ When the appliance or the model is fitted with

optional filters, we recommend you leave the
optional filters in position regardless of the
desired function setting (cooling,
dehumidification, air purification). The appliance
purifies the air more efficiently in this way.

Cleaning and Maintenance

❏ The appliance is equipped with a main air filter.

Cleaning

This filter must be removed, washed with water,
dried and refitted on a regular basis.

❏ The set of accessory purifying filters, reference

B1 RKZ 09013, must be replaced with a new set
every year in order to work efficiently. Contact
your supplier.

❏ The filters must be fitted as shown in figures.
❏ Place only one set of filters onto fixture to avoid

affecting cooling efficiency.

❏ The appliance can be cleaned with a cloth or

sponge, warm water and mild detergent.

❏ Never use hot water (more than 40°C), bleach,

petrol-based products, acids or brushes when
cleaning your appliance. Prevent water entering
the appliance.

❏ Do not clean your appliance with a hose.

Prior to use at
change of season

❏ Clean the air filter.
❏ Then clean the casing and grilles if necessary.

Things that can save you from
making unnecessary phone calls

What to do if ...

... the appliance doesn’t

work ...

... the appliance doesn’t

work and the safety pilot
light comes on ...

... the safety pilot light

comes on frequently ...

... the appliance fails to cool

the air properly ...

❏ Make sure that the appliance is plugged in

properly.

❏ Make sure that the control knob is not set to "off"

.

❏ Make sure that there is power in the mains

electricity supply and all the fuses are in working
order.

❏ Set the thermostat to a lower temperature.

❏ Place the appliance on a flat surface. If the pilot

light still doesn’t go out, then empty the
appliance’s internal water tank. (See instructions
for Temperature Control).

❏ Make sure that the drainage stopcock is set to

the right position.

❏ Make sure that the connections on hot-air

expulsion duct are in working order.

❏ Make sure that the expulsion duct is not

excessively bent or longer than 140 cm.

❏ Make sure that drainage stopcock is set to the

temperature control position.

❏ Use the suction pad to make the opening on the

window as small as possible.

❏ Lower blinds if available to reduce direct sunlight.

13

... the appliance makes a lot

of noise ...

❏ Make sure that the air extraction duct is properly

fitted onto the appliance.

❏ Make sure that the appliance’s air inlets and

outlets are free from obstruction.

❏ If the noise sounds like water flowing, then this is

due to the pump which circulates water around
the system so as to enhance the efficiency of the
appliance.

Any other kind of fault or repair work must be dealt
with by a specialised technician. Contact your
authorised supplier, the after-sales service or the
Technical Service Network.
