IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Use this appliance only as described in this instruction manual. As with all electrical
equipment, whilst the instructions aim to cover as many eventualities as possible, caution
and common sense should be applied when operating and installing this appliance.
This appliance is designed for home air conditioning and must not be used for other
purposes.
It is dangerous to modify or alter the characteristics of the appliance in any way.
The appliance must be installed in conformity with national legislation regulating electrical
equipment and installations.
If the appliance requires repair, contact a Service Centre authorised by the manufacturer
only. Repairs carried out by unauthorised personnel may be dangerous.
This appliance must be used exclusively by adults.
Never allow the appliance to be used by people (including children) with psychological,
physical or sensory impairments or with insufficient experience and knowledge, unless
closely supervised and instructed by someone responsible for their safety. Young children
should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
The appliance must be connected to an efficient earth system. Have your electrical circuit
checked by a qualified electrician.
Do not use extension cables.
Before cleaning or maintenance, always unplug the appliance from the mains socket.
Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the power cable.
Do not install the appliance in rooms containing gas, oil or sulphur. Do not install near
sources of heat.
Keep the appliance at least 50 cm away from flammable substances (alcohol etc.) or
pressurised containers (e.g. aerosol cans).
Do not rest heavy or hot objects on top of the appliance.
Clean the air filter at least once a week.
Avoid using heating appliances near the air conditioner.
Always transport the appliance upright. Before moving the appliance, empty the internal
circuit completely of water. After moving the appliance, wait at least 12 hours before starting
it.
When putting the appliance away, do not cover with plastic bags.
The materials used for packaging can be recycled. You are therefore recommended to
dispose of them in special differentiated waste collection containers.
At the end of its working life, consign the appliance to a specialist collection centre.

If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or an authorised
technical service centre in order to avoid all risk.
Portable air conditioner is a compact device containing all the elements necessary for
proper operation. Some of them e.g. compressor or fan, emit sound that can be heard
during operation. This is not a sign of device failure.
Important information for correct disposal of the product in accordance with EC Directive
2002/96/EC.
At the end of its working life, the product must not be disposed of as urban
waste. It must be taken to a special local authority differentiated waste
collection centre or to a dealer providing this service. Disposing of a
household appliance separately avoids possible negative consequences for
the environment and health deriving from inappropriate disposal and
enables the constituent materials to be recovered to obtain significant
savings in energy and resources. As a reminder of the need to dispose of
household appliances separately, the product is marked with a crossed-out
wheeled dustbin.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Before plugging the appliance into the mains socket, check that:
the mains power supply corresponds to the value indicated on the rating plate on the back
of the appliance;
the power socket and electrical circuit are adequate for the appliance;
the mains socket matches the plug. If this is not the case, have the plug replaced;
the mains socket is adequately earthed. Failure to follow these important safety instructions
absolves the manufacturer of all liability.

TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
If you store or transport the device improperly, the device may be damaged. Note the
information regarding transport and storage of the device.
TRANSPORT
To make the device easier to transport, it is fitted with castors.
Before transporting the device, observe the following:
•Switch the device off.
•Hold onto the mains plug while pulling the power cable out of the mains socket.
•Drain the remaining condensate from the device.
•Do not use the power cable to drag the device.
•Only wheel the device on a level and smooth surface.
After transporting the device, observe the following:
•Set up the device in an upright position after transport.
•Leave the device to rest for 12 to 24 hours, so the refrigerant can accumulate within the
compressor. Wait 12 to 24 hours before switching the device back on! Acting contrary
might lead to compressor damage and a malfunctioning device. If so, any warranty claims
will be voided.
STORAGE
Before storing the device, drain the remaining condensate from the device.
When the device is not being used, observe the following storage conditions:
•dry and protected from frost and heat
•in an upright position where it is protected from dust and direct sunlight
•with a cover to protect it from invasive dust if necessary
Place no further devices or objects on top of the device to prevent it from being damaged.
Remove batteries from the remote control.

ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION
SCOPE OF DELIVERY
•1 x Device
•1 x Air exhaust hose
•1 x Air inlet
•1 x Window adapter
•1 x Window slider
•1 x Remote control
•1 x Manual
UNPACKING THE DEVICE
1. Open the cardboard box and take the device out.
2. Completely remove the packaging.
3. Fully unwind the power cable. Make sure that the power cable is not damaged and that
you do not damage it during unwinding.
START-UP
•When positioning the device, observe the
minimum distance 50 cm from walls or other
objects.
•Before restarting the device, check the condition
of the power cable. If there are doubts, contact
the customer service.
•Set the device up in an upright and stable
position.
•Do not create tripping hazards when laying the
power cable or other electric cables, especially
when positioning the device in the middle of the
room.
•Keep air inlets and outlets as well as the air
exhaust hose housing free.
•Make sure that no curtains or other objects
interfere with the air flow.

INSERTING THE AIR FILTER
•Do not operate the device without an inserted air
filter. Without an air filter the inside of the device
will be heavily contaminated, which could reduce
the performance and result in damage to the
device.
•Make sure that the air filters are installed before
switching the device on.
CONNECTING THE AIR EXHAUST HOSE
1. Connect the window adapter (8) to one end of the air exhaust hose (10), connect the air
inlet to the other end of the air exhaust hose.
2. Screw the air exhaust hose (10) with air inlet into the air conditioner's air exhaust hose
housing (13) in the direction of the arrow (see figure).
EXHAUSTING HOT AIR
•The exhaust air coming from the device contains waste heat from the room to be cooled.
For this reason it is recommended to discharge the exhaust air to the outside.
•The end of the air exhaust hose can be fed through the open window. If required, secure
the open window with the corresponding means, so that the end of the air exhaust hose
cannot shift.
•The end of the air exhaust hose can also be hooked into a tilted window. For this purpose
we recommend using a window seal (optional).
•Install the air exhaust hose inclined with the air direction.

HOW TO USE THE WINDOW SLIDER
•Affix the window slider in the window gap and adjust the length as
needed.
•Connect the end of the air exhaust hose with window adapter to
the window slider.
•Close the window until the Windows Slider is held securely.
FOR INSTALLING THE AIR EXHAUST HOSE PLEASE OBSERVE THE
FOLLOWING:
•Avoid kinks and bends in the air exhaust hose, as they would
lead to an accumulation of emitted humid air causing the
device to overheat and shut down.
•The dimensions of the air exhaust hose were especially made
to fit the device. Do not replace or extend the hose, it could
cause a malfunction.
•Keep the air exhaust hose as short as possible.
CONNECTING THE POWER CABLE
•Insert the mains plug into a properly secured mains socket.
