uring the summer, you feel comfortable at a temperature of between 24 and 27°C with a

relative humidity of about 50%.

An air conditioning unit removes excess moisture and heat from the room where it is located.
Compared with installed models, portable air conditioning units have the advantage that they
can be moved from one room to another in the home or be transported from one building to
another.

Hot air from the room is passed through a coil cooled by refrigerant gas. Excess heat and moistu­re are removed before the air is re-emitted into the room.
In packaged models, a small part of this air is used to cool the refrigerant gas and then, when hot
and damp, is discharged outside.
In split models, the circuit is cooled using air from the outside.

All air conditioners can also be used in fan-only mode.

Preparing for use

NOTE: The appliance must be positioned at
least 20/30cm from any walls.

POSITIONING THE INDOOR UNIT

Install the appliance inside the room being air­conditioned. In general, near a window or
door. In any case, near a perimeter wall. The
indoor unit must be positioned on an even sur­face, where possible on a table, or other piece
of furniture (see Figures 1 and 2). There must
be no obstructions to the air intake (rear grilles

)and outlet (top outlet grille ) on the

indoor unit.

POSITIONING THE CONNECTION SHEATH

The sheath connecting the outdoor and
indoor units can be passed through the gap in a
window or door left ajar; use the suckers to
prevent them from opening further. In addition
to the methods described above, the sheath
connecting the external and internal units can
also pass through a hole with a diameter of
about 9 cm in an external wall.

The internal unit can be mounted permanently
using the bracket accessory

(see mounting

instructions provided with the bracket kit).

Before passing the sheath through the hole
in the wall, you should protect the ends of
the quick-fit coupling using the caps provi­ded or with paper tape.

The external unit can also be mounted perma­nently by purchasing the wall bracket kit from a
De'Longhi service centre or dealer.

DISCONNECTING THE TWO UNITS

To disconnect the internal and external units,
proceed as follows:

1) Undo the two screws on the cover protec­ting the external unit couplings. (Fig. 3)

2) Remove the protection from the electrical
connections on the external unit by
undoing the screw. (Fig. 4)

This should always be done with the
appliance unplugged from the mains.

3) Disconnect the condensate coupling by
pushing on the sleeve A and pulling the
tube out. (Fig. 5)

4) Undo the right hand screw on the cable
clip. (Fig. 6)

5) Disconnect the electrical connector by
pushing the tabs B, then pulling out the
connector (fig. 7)

6) Remove the safety plug (fig. 8).

7) Open the locking lever on the quick-fit
coupling. To facilitate closing, use the
extension , fitting it onto the lever and
turning until fully open (see figure 9).

8) Disconnect the male and female cou­plings by pushing the sleeve backwards
and pulling (Fig. 10).

To avoid damage to the couplings, before
passing the sheath through the hole in the
wall, you should protect the ends of the
quick-fit coupling using the caps provided or
with paper tape (Fig. 11).

Make sure the connecting sheath is free of
kinks.

Important

Always disconnect or connect the quick-fit
couplings in the open air or adequately ven­tilated rooms.

HOW TO CONNECT THE SHEATH

To connect the sheath, follow the above pro­cedure in reverse. When connecting the
water drain hose, make sure it is pushed in as
far as it will go.

POSITIONING THE OUTDOOR UNIT

The outdoor unit can be placed on a terrace
or balcony (Fig. 12).

The outdoor unit can also be installed on a
window sill, if this faces onto a balcony (Fig.

13)

fig. 12

fig. 13

fig. 14

The outdoor unit may be installed above or at
the same level as the indoor unit, provided
that the difference in level is not greater than

1.5m. The air intake and outlet of the outdoor

unit must be kept clear of obstacles. Leave at
least 6cm between the wall and the rear of
the appliance.
The condensate forming during operation in
air-conditioning mode (in summer) is almost
totally eliminated via evaporation from the
outdoor unit.
In particular cases, if there is excessive humi­dity, the condensate is drained through a
hole in the base.
To drain the water that forms, use the con­densate drain connector supplied, which
must be fitted on the base of the outdoor unit
(see Figure 14). This can then be connected
to a rubber hose
Note: If appropriate, the external unit can be
protected with the protective cover

fixing

it with the screw provided.

The outdoor unit
should be protected from the sun, rain, snow
and drips from the roof.
