SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS 2 GB 18-11-2003 13:57 Pagina 3 Introduction The portable air conditioner is a compact unit for regulating air temperature and humidity. Its extremely flexible characteristics make it easy to use at any time and in any room. It can be operated in multiple modes including cooling, dehumidifying and ventilating. The appliance has been designed for domestic use and may be used in the home, office, etc. It must be connected to an outlet with an impedance of less than 0.197 Ohms. If necessary, consult your electricity supply company for information on impedance values. TIPS FOR ENERGY SAVING · · Keep blinds and/or curtains and windows closed during the sunniest hours of the day (cooling function). Keep the filter clean. In normal conditions, the filter should be cleaned about every 2 weeks. The filter eliminates part of the pollutant particles or dust transported in the air. Air quality thus depends on the frequency with which the filter is cleaned. 3 GB 18-11-2003 13:57 Pagina 4 Description DESCRIPTION OF PARTS Front Control panel Air flow direction fins (right hand ­ left hand) Air outlet Air flow direction fins (high ­ low) Handle Water tank Castors Back Top air intake grille for cooling, dehumidifying and ventilating.

BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE 1. If the appliance has been in a horizontal position during storage or transport, you are recommended to wait at least three hours before turning it on. 2. Always position the air conditioning unit on a stable surface. 3. Attach the air exhaust hose to the air conditioning unit. 4. Plug the air conditioning unit into a suitably rated outlet. 5. Set the various functions of the air conditioning unit according to your requirements. 6. The cooling system will shut down when room temperature drops below the set temperature. The fan will, however, continue to operate at the set speed. If the room temperature rises above the temperature set, the cooling system comes on again automatically. 8 GB 18-11-2003 13:57 Pagina 9 Installation CHOOSING THE INSTALLATION SITE Position the air conditioning unit on a flat surface where the air outlet grilles cannot be obstructed. Position the appliance at least 50 cm (19.7) away from walls or obstacles. INSTALLING THE AIR EXHAUST HOSE 1. Open out the end of the hose and screw the two adapters on counterclockwise (see figure). 2. Fit the square adapter on the air exhaust hose to the air exhaust outlet on the appliance. 3. Connect the other end (flange) to the nearest window. Important: the air exhaust hose must be between 500 mm (19.7") and 2000 mm (78.7") long. You are recommended to keep the air exhaust hose as short as possible. During installation, keep the hose as horizontal as possible without distorting it. Do not connect the terminal to other exhaust ducts (flue or chimney) as this could lead to malfunction. square adapter Flange CABLE WINDER Before installing the air exhaust hose, mount the two cable winder brackets using the screws supplied as shown in the figure. air exhaust outlet Correct wall installation: the hole must be at a height of between 40 cm (15.7") and 130 cm (51.2") from the floor.

If you have a sliding window, position the crosspiece in the window frame, extend it completely then close the window onto the crosspiece. Fit the window flange onto the end of the air exhaust hose, position it on the hole in the crosspiece, then fit the other end of the hose onto the back of the air conditioning unit. This considerably reduces heat dispersion due to contact between the room and the outside environment. The crosspiece is 40 mm (1.5") wide and between 675 mm (26.7") and 1230 mm (48.4") long. 50 cm (19.7 in) Incorrect installation diagram (the bend in the hose is excessiv ...
