The instructions below will enable you to prepare your air conditioner for operation as efficiently
as possible.
Before use, make sure the air intake and outlet grilles are unobstructed.
AIR-CONDITIONING WITHOUT INSTALLATION
Just a few simple steps and your comfort is
ensured with your air conditioner:
•Fit the air exhaust hose in the housing
at the back of the appliance.
Insert it as shown in figure A.

For optimum results:
•If you have a sash window, place the
bracket on the window sill, extend the
bracket fully within the window frame, fix the
bracket by using the pin then lower the win-
dow onto the bracket. Insert the window
outlet of the exhaust hose into the
slot, then connect the hose to the air condi-
tioner (fig. B ).

curves as possible to avoid constrictions
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 mains 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.
The power cable must be replaced by a qualified professional only.

Thanks to the locking pins, it’s possible to
use the window bracket also for sliding
windows. Position the hole of the bracket
so to allow a correct installation of the
exhaust hose (see figure C).

outside wall or through a window pane.
Respect the dimensions and height of the
hole given in figure F and G.
•Fit the wall flange into the hole.
•Fit the air exhaust hose in the relevant

however, not to set a temperature much below the outdoor tem-
perature.
DEHUMIDIFYING MODE
Ideal to reduce room humidity (spring and autumn, damp rooms,

Tips
To get the best performance once from your
air conditioner, follow these recommendations:
•close the windows and doors in the room to
be air conditioned. The only exception is
when the appliance is installed through a
hole in the wall. In this case, you are recom-
mended to leave a slight draught through a
door or window to guarantee correct venti-
lation.
•Protect the room from direct exposure to
the sun by partially closing curtains and/or
blinds to make the appliance much more
economical to run.
•Never rest objects of any kind on the air
conditioner.
•Never obstruct the air intake or outlet
grilles.
•Make sure there are no heat sources in the
room.

tioner with water.
Precautions
Never use petrol, alcohol or solvents to clean
the appliance. Never spray insecticide liquids
or similar.
CLEANING THE AIR FILTERS
To keep your air conditioner working efficient-
ly, you should clean the dust filter every week
of operation.
The filter is housed in the intake grille.
To clean the filters, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the dust filter by extracting it
upwards (figure H).
2. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust accu-
mulations from the filter. If it is very dirty, immer-
se in warm water and rinse a number of times.
The water should never be hotter than 104°F
(40°C). After washing, leave the filter to
dry, then put it back in place.
START OF SEASON CHECKS
Make sure the power cable and plug are
undamaged and the earth system is efficient.
Follow the installation instructions precisely.
END OF SEASON OPERATIONS
•To empty the internal circuit completely of
water, remove the cap (figure I).
•Run off all water left into a basin. When all
the water has been drained, put the cap
