The Refrigerant R290
To realize the function of the air conditioner unit, a special refrigerant circulates in the
system. The refrigerant is the fluoride R290 = 3 GWP (Global warming potential). This
refrigerant is flammable and inodorous. It can lead to explosions under certain
conditions, however the flammability of this refrigerant is very low and it can be ignited
only by fire.
Compared to other common refrigerants, R290 is a non-polluting refrigerant with no
harm to the ozonosphere and a no effect upon the greenhouse effect. R290 has very
good thermodynamic features which lead to a really high energy efficiency. The units
therefore need less filling.
Warning:
Do not try to accelerate the defrosting process or to clean the appliance in different ways other
than those recommended by the manufacturer. Should repair be necessary, contact your
nearest authorizedArgoclima Service Centre. Any repairs carried out by unqualified personnel
may be dangerous. The appliance has to be stored in a room that doesn’t have any
continuously operating ignition sources. (for example: open flames, an operating gas
appliance or an operating electric heater.) Do not pierce or burn.
Appliance has to be installed, operated and stored in a room with a floor area larger than 7m2.
For repairs, strictly follow manufacturer’s instructions only for appliances filled with R290
flammable gas. Be aware that refrigerants do not have any odour.
Appliance filled with flammable gas R290.

GENERAL OPERATING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is a local air conditioner designed for domestic use.
Only use this air-conditioner as described in this manual.
Ensure that the required voltage and frequency (220-240V/50 Hz)
match the available power source.
Fuse style 5ET or SMT 250V, the electricity passing through the
fuse cannot be above 3.15A.
This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and
above and people with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a
safe way and understand the hazards involved.
Children shall not play with the appliance.
Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children
without supervision.
Ensure that the electricity system is able to deliver the operating
current required by the air conditioner, in addition to that normally
absorbed by other appliances (household appliances, lighting
system, etc.). Please refer to the maximum power input data
indicated on the air conditioner's data plate.
Connection to the electricity grid must take place in accordance with
current installation standards.
Ensure that the automatic switches and system protection valves
are able to withstand a start-up current of 6A (normally for less than
1 second).
The system socket must always be fitted with an efficient earth
connection.
Make sure that the plug is fully inserted. Do not use multiple
adapters. Do not touch the plug with wet hands. Make sure that the
plug is clean.

Do not use the plug as a means by which to start/stop the air
conditioner: use the ON/OFF button on the remote control or on the
control panel.
Do not install the air conditioner in rooms where it may receive
water splashes (e.g. laundry rooms).
This air conditioner can be used by children of 8 years of age or
older, and by persons with reduced physical, sensory and mental
abilities or who lack the necessary know-how and experience to
operate it, if under the supervision or instruction of a person
responsible for their safety, so that they are fully aware of the
attendant risks.
Before moving or cleaning the device, ensure that it is unplugged
from the socket.
Do not move the air conditioner while it is operating; first turn the
appliance off, check for any condensate build-up and empty it if
necessary.
To turn the appliance off, set the remote control to OFF and remove
the plug from the socket. Pull on the plug only. Do not pull the cord.
Do not use the appliance if the cord or plug are damaged. If the
power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, dealer or a similarly qualified person so as to avoid
any safety risks.
Keep the unit away from fire, possible fire sources, inflammable or
explosive objects.
Do not leave the unit unattended while it’s operating, turn the unit off
and unplug it.
If drainage hose is used, the ambient temperature musnt’t be lower
than 0°C. It can cause water leakage to the air conditioner.
Do not splash or pour water on the air conditioner

PRECAUTION!
Do not insert any objects into the air conditioner: this is very
dangerous as the fan turns at high speed.
Ensure that air circulates freely around the unit. Do not cover
the air intake and delivery grilles with drapes or any other
means.
WARNING!
The air conditioner must be positioned at least 50 cmfrom the wall
or any other obstacles, on a flat and stable surface so as to avoid
water leaks.
The air conditioner is fitted with a system for protecting the
compressor from overload. This means that the compressor
only starts 3 minutes after its previous stoppage.
Please wait at least 3 minutes before starting the unit. This
helps prevent the compressor from being damaged.
WARNING!
In the event of an anomaly, switch the appliance off and unplug
it from the socket. Do not dismantle or attempt to repair or
modify the product. In the event of a malfunction, contact the
service centre directly.
WARNING!
Do not expose the air conditioner to direct sunlight, as the
colour of the materials may change; moreover, the appliance
may overheat causing the protection mechanism to intervene
and switch the appliance off.
Do not use insecticides, oils, detergents or spray paints near
the appliance; do not use aggressive chemical detergents to
clean the casing: this may damage the finish and colour.
