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 moisture 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.

Pr eparation for use
HOW TO USE THE AIR-CONDITIONER 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, insulation and aspect and number of people. In turbo mode the water will also be used more quickly.
You may also use the air-conditioner on air cooling only (without filling the water tank if you only require the lower cooling power).
23
5
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.
5
3
B) Turn the tank upside down
and remove the plug,
remove the extendible
tube and fill the tank, leaving 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 position.
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 build up in the internal tank. This can be
drained by removing the bung from the drain hose and draining into a suitable receptacle.
11
IMPORTANT: if the room temperatur e is 32°C or over the air conditioner must be operated with with
water in the tank.

Turning on and setting the timer
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 appliance;
• the socket is suited to the plug, otherwise
have the socket replaced;
• the socket is properly grounded.
The manufactures cannot be held responsible for any damages due to failure in following normal safety procedures.
Replacement of the power cable must be
carried out by qualified personnel.
SETTING THE TIMER
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 clockwise 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
disconnected or there is a power failure,
the programmer 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 correct time (see instructions on setting).
13

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)

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 (the signal light will come on,
and then, after 3 minutes the signal light
will come on ).
• Place the small star symbol in line with
the reference mark to operate the unit in
air conditioning mode at minimum fan
speed (the signal light will come on,
and then, after 3 minutes the signal light
will come on ).
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 ther mostat
dial to the maximum position. 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 lights and
(or ) will turn off.
The temperature selected in this way will
automatically be regulated and maintained,
and save energy. When regulating the thermostat, the air conditioning function is temporarily 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
minutes when switching between functions or on initial start up.
2. You may also experience a slight delay
between changing from one function to
another.
