Operation Using the remote control unit (some models only)
TURNING THE APPLIANCE ON
Before plugging the appliance check:
the caps on the back of the unit are correctly inserted and
screwed on the drainage hose 10.
Plug into an outlet. Two lines appear on the display indicating
that the appliance is in stand-by.
Press the ON/STAND-BY button (A). When turned on, the
air conditioner starts operating in the same mode as when
it was turned o. Press the MODE button (B) until the light
corresponding to the desired mode lights up:
Light (O): air-conditioning mode
Light (P): dehumidifying mode
Light (N): fan mode
AIR CONDITIONING MODE
Ideal for hot muggy weather when you need to cool and
dehumidify the room.
The display shows the inner temperature: the light (S) turns on.
To modify the set temperature, push the (E) or (F) button to
reach the desired temperature.The (T) light turns on and the (S)
light turns o. (To change from °F to °C or viceversa, press for few
seconds both button Eand F).
After 15 seconds, the inner temperature is shown on the display.
The (S) light turns on.

Then select the fan speed by pressing the FAN button (C) until
the light corresponding to the required fan speed lights up:
MAX: the air conditioner operates at maximum to achieve
the target temperature as rapidly as possible
MED: reduces noise levels while maintaining a
comfortable temperature
MIN: for silent operation
The most suitable temperature for the room during the summer
varies from 75°F to 81°F (24 to 27°C). You are recommended,
however, not to set a temperature much below the outdoor
temperature
FAN MODE
Adjust fan speed by pressing the FAN button (C) as described for
the air-conditioning mode.
Remember that the higher the speed, the more air is ltered.
If you select “MIN” speed, less air is ltered but the appliance
is also less noisy.
DEHUMIDIFYING MODE
Ideal for reducing the humidity in a room without lowering or
raising the temperature (spring or autumn, damp rooms, rainy
spells, etc). When the dehumidifying mode is selected, the
light (P) comes on. At the same time, the “MIN”fan speed light
(M) comes on. In this mode, other speeds cannot be selected.
PROGRAMMING THE TIMER
The timer can be used to delay appliance start up or shut down.
This avoids wasting electricity by optimising operating periods.
