Preparing for use

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

Before plugging the appliance into the mains socket, check that:

• The mains power supply corresponds to the value indicated on the rating plate on the back of the appliance;

• The mains socket and electrical circuit are adequate for the appliance;

• The mains socket matches the plug. If this is not the case, have the plug replaced;

• The mains socket is adequately earthed. Failure to follow these important safety instructions absolves the

manufacturer of all liability.

The power cable must be replaced by a qualified professional only.

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.

AIR-CONDITIONING WITHOUT INSTALLATION

Just a few simple steps and your comfort is
ensured with your air conditioner:

end of the air exhaust hose 12.

• Fit the other adapter to the air exhau­st hose housing at the back of the
appliance (see fig. A).

• Screw the end of the hose without adapter
to the adapter previously mounted on the
appliance (see fig. A).

Preparing for use

AIR-CONDITIONING WITH INSTALLATION

If required, your appliance can also be instal­led semi-permanently (Fig. D).

• Fit the wall flange accessory provi­ded in the hole.

• Fit the air exhaust hose in the rele­vant hose located on the rear side of
the appliance (see fig. A).

• Screw the wall mounting accessory

Operation

TURNING THE APPLIANCE ON

Plug the appliance into the mains.
Press the ON/OFF button (A) (when turned on, the air conditioner
starts operating in the same mode as when it was turned off).
The display shows the room temperature.
Press the MODE button (B) until the indicator light corresponding
to the required mode lights up:

Light (O): air-conditioning mode
Light (N): fan mode
Light (P): dehumidifying mode

AIR-CONDITIONING MODE

Ideal for hot humid weather when you need to cool and dehu­midify the room.
By default, the room temperature is displayed.
Light (S) is on.
To set the required temperature, press the + (E) or - (F) buttons
until the required temperature is displayed. (to switch between °F
and °C, press the E and F buttons together for a few seconds).
Light (T) comes on and light (S) goes off.
Fifteen seconds after setting the temperature, the display swit­ches back to room temperature.
Light (S) comes on again.
You can adjust temperature in air conditioning mode only.

Then select the fan speed by pressing the FAN button (C) until
the indicator light corresponding to the required fan speed lights
up:

MAX: the air conditioner operates at maximum to reach the

required temperature as rapidly as possible

MED: reduces noise levels but still maintains a good level of

comfort

MIN: for silent operation

The most suitable temperature for the room during the summer
varies from 24 to 27°C. You are recommended, however, not to
set a temperature much below the outdoor temperature.

GB

Operation

FAN MODE

Adjust fan speed by pressing the FAN button (C) as described for the air-conditioning mode.
Remember that the higher the speed, the more air is filtered. If you select "MIN" speed, less air is
filtered but the appliance is also less noisy.

DEHUMIDIFYING MODE

Ideal for reducing the humidity in a room (spring or autumn, damp rooms, rainy spells, etc). When
the dehumidifying mode is selected, the light (P) comes on.
At the same time, the "MIN" fan speed light (M) comes on. In this mode, other speeds cannot be
selected.
Note: remember to fit the air exhaust hose as described in the chapter "Preparing for use".

PROGRAMMING THE TIMER

The timer can be used to delay appliance start up or shut down. This avoids wasting electricity by
optimising operating periods.

How to programme delayed start up

• Plug the appliance into a mains socket and press the ON/OFF button (A), then select the requi­red operating mode and other settings (temperature, fan speed, etc).

• Press the ON/OFF button (A) again to place the appliance in standby mode.

• Press the timer button (D). The timer light "H" flashes.

• Use the + (E) or - (F) buttons to set the number of hours delay before the appliance comes on.

• The time increases or decreases in steps of one hour.

The indicator light (H) flashes until the appliance starts up.
You can set the appliance to come on with a delay of up to 12 hours.
To cancel the timer programme, press the timer button (D) again.
Light (H) stops flashing.

How to programme delayed shut down

• Delayed shut down can be programmed in any operating mode (air conditioning / fan/ dehu­midifying).

• Press the timer button (D). The timer light "H" flashes.

• Use the + (E) or - (F) buttons to set the number of hours delay before the appliance goes off.

The time increases or decreases in steps of one hour.
The light (H) flashes until the appliance turns off as programmed.
At the set time, the air conditioner shuts down and remains in standby.
To cancel the timer programme, press the timer button (D) again.
Light (H) stops flashing.

must be no more than 5 metres away from
the appliance (without obstacles
between the remote control and the
receiver).

• The remote control should be handled
with extreme care and respect. Do not
drop it, expose it to direct sunlight, or
leave it near sources of heat.

leave a slight draught through a door or
window to guarantee correct ventilation.

• Never use the appliance in very damp
rooms (laundries for example).

• Never use the appliance outdoors.

close doors and windows

• Protect the room from direct exposure to
the sun by partially closing curtains and/or
blinds to make the appliance much more
economical to run;

• Never rest objects of any kind on the air
conditioner;

To keep your air conditioner working efficien­tly, you should clean the dust filter every week
of operation.
The filter is housed in the intake grille.
To clean the filters, remove the filter as shown
in figure H.

17

Use a vacuum cleaner to remove the dust
collected on the filter.
If it is very dirty, immerse in warm water and
rinse a number of times.
The water should never be hotter than 40°C.
After washing, leave the filter to dry.
Put the filter back in its housing.

START OF SEASON CHECKS

Make sure the power cable and plug are
undamaged and the earth system is efficient.
Follow the installation instructions precisely.

END OF SEASON OPERATIONS

To drain all water from the circuit, remove the
cap from the drain hose on the back of the
appliance and allow the water to drain out
into a basin (figure I). When all the water has
been drained, close the hose with the cap
and replace in its housing.

Clean the filter and leave it to dry before put­ting it back in its housing.
