TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE UNIT:
NEVER TRANSPORT OR TURN THE APPLIANCE UPSIDE DOWN OR ON ITS SIDE. IF THIS OCCURS, WAIT
6 HOURS BEFORE TURNING THE APPLIANCE ON, 24 HOURS IS RECOMMENDED. After the unit has
been on its side, oil needs to return to the compressor to ensure proper function. Without allowing the unit this time (6-24 hours) the unit may function for only a short time, and then the compressor will break down from lack of oil.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Before plugging the appliance into the outlet, check that:
• The outlet’s power supply corresponds to the value indicated on the rating label on the back
of the appliance;
• The outlet and electrical circuit are adequate for the appliance;
• The outlet is a 3-hole grounded outlet . If this is not the case, you must choose another outlet.
Failure to follow these important safety instructions absolves the manufacturer of all liability.
The instructions below will enable you to prepare your air conditioner for operation as efficiently
as possible. Before use, make sure the air intake and outlet grilles are unobstructed.
If it becomes necessary, the power cable must be replaced by a qualified professional only.
Other set-up methods:
• Thanks to the locking pins, it’s possible to
use the window bracket also for sliding
windows. Position the hole of the bracket
so to allow a correct installation of the
exhaust hose (see figure C).
• If you have a casement window (figure D)
follow steps 2 & 3 and place the window
outlet (12) outside the window to exhaust
the hot air.

SEMI-PERMANENT INSTALLATION
If required, your appliance can also be
installed semi-permanently (Fig. E).
Proceed as follows:
• Drill a hole ø 5,25 inches (134 mm) in an
outside wall or through a window pane.
Respect the dimensions and height of the
hole given in figure F and G.
• Fit the wall flange (10) into the hole.
• Fit the air exhaust hose (11) in the rele-
vant housing located on the rear side of
the appliance. (fig. A page 5).
• Fit the end of the hose (11) to the wall
flange (10) as shown in fig. G .
When the hose (11) is not connected, the drilled hole can be closed with the flange cap
(10).
NOTE: When installing the air conditioner
semi-permanently, you should leave a door
slightly open little as 1/2 “ (1 cm) to guarantee correct ventilation and room pressure.

Operation
TURNING THE APPLIANCE ON
Plug into an outlet.
Two lines appear on the display indicating that the appliance is in standby.
Press the ON/STAND-BY button (A). When turned on, the air conditioner
starts operating in the same mode as when it was turned off.
Press the MODE button (B) until the light corresponding to the desired
mode lights up:
Light (Q): AIR-CONDITIONING MODE
Light (P): DEHUMIDIFYING MODE
Light (O): FAN MODE
AIR CONDITIONING MODE
Ideal for hot muggy weather when you need to cool and dehumidify the
room.
To set this mode: press the + (E) or - (F) buttons until the desired temperature is displayed.
Then select the fan speed by pressing the “FAN” button (C) until the light
corresponding to the required fan speed lights up:
HIGH: MAXIMUM SPEED to achieve the target temperature as rapidly as
possible
MED: MEDIUM SPEED reduces noise levels while maintaining a comfor-
table temperature
LOW: LOW SPEED for silent operation and maximum energy efficiency
AUTO: AUTO: the appliance automatically selects the most suitable
fan speed in relation to the temperature set on the digital display
and current room temperature.
The most suitable temperature for the room during the summer varies from
75°F to 81°F (24 to 27°C). You are recommended, however, not to set a
temperature much below the outdoor temperature
DEHUMIDIFYING MODE
Ideal to reduce room humidity (spring and autumn, damp rooms, rainy
periods, etc). In dehumidifying mode, the appliance MUST be set-up in
the same way as for air conditioning, with the air exhaust hose attached
to enable the moisture to be discharged outside.
When the dehumidifying mode is selected, the light (P) comes on and
“ ” appears on the display.
At the same time, the AUTO fan light (N) comes on.
In this mode, fan speed is selected automatically by the appliance and
cannot be set manually.
FAN MODE
The unit operates without cooling or dehumidifying. This mode provides
ventilation only. When using the appliance in this mode, the air exhaust
hose does not need to be connected. Adjust fan speed by pressing the
“FAN” button (C) as described for the air-conditioning mode.
In this mode, AUTO speed cannot be selected.
The fan speed selected will be displayed.
