HOW TO INSTALL BATTERIES

● Remove trhe lid in the rear part of the remote control unit

and check the settings of the four microswitches as
shown below:

TEMPERATURE SENSOR SELECTOR

●

Under normal conditions the room temperature is detected
and checked by the temperature sensor placed in the
remote controller (I FEEL icon displayed ).This function
is designed to provide a confortable room temperature by
transmitting the temperature control command from the
location next to you. Therefore, when using this function,
the remote control should always be pointed at the air
conditioner.

●

It is possible to disable the remote controller room sensor
pressing the I FEEL button. In this case the I FEEL icon
on the remote controller display lights off and the sensor
placed in the air conditioner becomes active.

USING THE REMOTE CONTROL UNIT

●

Insert two AAA alkaline batteries of 1,5 V-DC making
sure that point in the direction marked in the battery
compartment.The displayed time flashes.
Press the SEL TYPE button.
Remote controller is now ready for operation.

●

The batteries last about six months. Depending on how
much you use the remote control unit.
Remove the batteries if you do not use the remote control
unit for more than one month.
Replace the batteries when the remote control unit lamp
fails to light, or when the air conditioner does not receive
the remote control unit signals.

●

The batteries of the remote control contain polluted
substances. Exhausted batteries must be disposed
according to the laws in force.

OPERATION WITH THE REMOTE CONTROL UNIT

When using the remote control unit, always point the unit
transmitter head directly at the air conditioner receiver.

HOW TO TURN ON THE AIR CONDITIONER

Press the ON/OFF button to turn the air conditioner on.
The operation lamp will light up, indicating the unit is in
operation.

The remote control unit sends the temperature signal
at any key pressing and automatically every five
minutes. If, due to some troubles, the signal from the
remote control is no longer detected, the air conditioner
keeps operating using the temperature sensor of the
indoor unit to control the room temperature. In this
case, the temperature around the remote control unit
may differ from the temperature detected in the air
conditioner position.

Maintenance operations must be carried out by specially
trained personnel.

●

For safety , be sure to turn the air conditioner off and also
to disconnect the power before cleaning.

●

Do not pour water on the indoor unit to clean it. This will
damage the internal components and cause an electric
shock hazard.

WARNING

The front panel can be removed in order to wash it with
water.

CASING AND GRILLE (INDOOR UNIT)

Clean the casing and grille of the indoor unit with a vacuum
cleaner brush, or wipe them with a clean, soft cloth.

out of place.

● Never use solvents, or harsh chemicals when cleaning the

indoor unit. Do not wipe the plastic casing using very hot
water.

● Some metal edges and the vanes are sharp and may

cause injury if handled improperly; be especially careful
when you clean these parts.

● The internal coil and other components of the outdoor

unit must be cleaned every year. Consult your dealer or
service centre.

CAUTION

HOW TO REMOVE THE FRONT P ANEL(ONL YFOR AWI­ASI MODELS)

TIPS FOR ENERGY SAVING

DO NOT:

●

Block the air intake and outlet of the unit.
If they are obstructed, the unit will not work well, and
may be damaged.

●

Let direct sunlight into the room. Use sunshades,
blind or curtain.

DO:

●

Always try to keep the air filter clean. A clogged filter
will impair the performance of the unit.

●

T o prevent conditioned air from escaping, keep windows,
doors and any other openings closed.

FILTER CLEANING

Use a vacuum cleaner to remove light dust. If there is
sticky dust on the filter, wash the filter in lukewarm, soapy
water, rinse it in clean water, and dry it.

1.Remove the screw on each side out of the latch using a
screwdriver.

2.Press on the two latches of the air intake grille with your
thumbs in the direction of the arrow to open the grille.

3.Open the air intake grille downward.

4.Remove the air filter from the air intake grille. Clean the

air filter.

5.Insert the filter correctly again inside the grille, close the
grille letting the latches slide toward the outside and fix
again the latch with the screw on both sides.

This activated carbon air filter cannot remove harmful gases
or vapors nor ventilate air in the room. Y ou must open doors
or windows frequently when you use gas or oil heating
appliances. Otherwise there is a risk of suffocation in an
extreme case.

NOTE

1.Two activated carbon air filters for one indoor unit are in

this polyethylene bag.

2.Open the bag just before installing the activated carbon air
filters, if not the deodorizing effect durability of the filter may
be decreased.

REPLACEMENT OF ACTIVATED CARBON AIR
FILTER

●

The filter is disposable.

●

Do not throw away the filter frame.

●

The used filter cannot be reused even after cleaning up.

●

Obtain the filters for replacement at your nearest dealer.

●

Check the state of dirtiness at least once every two
weeks.

●

Replace the filter after six months’ operation.

WARNING

The activated carbon air filter is to be added to the standard
filter.

It is made of two layers:

- the first layer consists in a synthetic honey comb high

efficiency media to remove the dust and purifing the
air.

- the second layer in charcoal media deodorizing the

ambient air.

ACTIVATED CARBON AIR FILTER INSTALLATION
PROCEDURE

1. Open the unit intake air grille and pull out the standard

air filter.

2. Apply on the rear side of the filter the two spings supplied
with the accessory.

3. Fix the activated carbon filter by the springs.

4. Insert the two air filters one over the other and close
