Introduction

Thank you for choosing a Dimplex air conditioner. This manual contains information, regulations and
warnings which are of fundamental importance if the appliance is to be installed correctly and the
highest performance, in the safest possible conditions is to be obtained. We suggest that you read
the manual carefully before installing or starting up the appliance.

The air-conditioning unit is of the mono tube type, transferable (on wheels) with air/air operating
system for domestic use and has 3 settings:

• Ventilate.

• Cool.

• Dehumidify.

The ventilation mode “moves” the air allowing for its recycling much like a fan.
The cooling mode, a refrigerated circuit (compressor), cools the room by transferring the heat from

the inside to the outside through the air exhaust hose. While cooling, the air-conditioning unit also
dehumidifies the room air.

Important Safeguards

• Read all instructions.

• Disconnect the power plug before dismantling, assembling or before cleaning.

• Avoid touching mobile parts of the appliance.

• Never insert fingers, pencils or any other objects though the guards whenever the power plug is

connected, especially while running.

• The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons unless they have been
adequately supervised by a responsible person to ensure that they can use the unit safely.

• Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

• Do not use the appliance for any other purpose than its intended use.

• The appliance must not be used if the guards are not fastened according to instructions.

• When the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent

or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

• Do not use your appliance with an extension cord unless it has been checked and tested by a
qualified electrician or electrical supplier.

• Return to Hagemeyer or authorised service agent.

• The air conditioning unit must always be stored and transported upright, otherwise you

may cause irreparable damage to the compressor; in case of doubt we suggest to wait for
at least 24 hours before you start the air-conditioning unit.

• Avoid restarting the air conditioning unit unless 4 minutes have passed since being turned off, or
the compressor may get damaged.

• Never use the mains plug as a switch to start and turn off the air conditioning unit. Use the
provided ON/OFF switch located on the control panel.

• Always place the portable air conditioner on a dry stable surface.

Energy Saving Tips

• Do not cover or restrict the airflow from the Outlet or Inlet grills.

• The minimum distance from furniture and wall should be 50cm.

• Keep blinds and /or draperies, on any windows, closed during the sunniest part of the day.

• Keep the filters clean. Under normal conditions, the filters should be cleaned approximately

every 30 days. Since the filters remove airborne particles, more frequent cleaning maybe
necessary, depending on the indoor air quality.

• Set the fan speed switch to high cool and the thermostat to the coolest position for the initial
start-up, then set the Fan switch to Low cool and lower the thermostat to a comfortable setting.
