•Clean the dust filter at least once a week.
•Avoid using heating appliances near the air conditioning unit.
•Always transport the appliance upright or resting on one side, with short movements only. Befo-
re moving the appliance, empty the condensate pan in the indoor unit and the base of the
outdoor unit.
After moving the appliance, wait at least 1 hour before starting it.
•The materials used for packaging can be recycled. You are therefore recommended to dispo-
se of them in special differentiated waste collection containers.
•The refrigerant gas R410A conforms to EC regulations on the environment.
Avoid perforating the refrigerant circuit of the appliance. At the end of its working life, consi-

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR CORRECT DISPOSAL OF THE PRODUCT IN ACCORDANCE WITH EC DIRECTI-
VE 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 envi-
ronment 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 dispo-
se of household appliances separately, the product is marked with a crossed-out wheeled dustbin.

During the summer, you feel comfortable at a temperature of between 24 and 27°C with a
relative humidity of about 50%.
An air conditioning unit removes excess moisture and heat from the room where it is located.
Compared with installed models, portable air conditioning units have the advantage that they
can be moved from one room to another in the home or be transported from one building to
another.
Hot air from the room is passed through a coil cooled by refrigerant gas. Excess heat and moistu-
re are removed before the air is re-emitted into the room.
In packaged models, a small part of this air is used to cool the refrigerant gas and then, when hot
and damp, is discharged outside.
In split models, the circuit is cooled using air from the outside.
All air conditioners can also be used in fan-only mode.

Preparing for use
NOTE: The appliance must be positioned at
least 20/30cm from any walls.
POSITIONING THE INDOOR UNIT
Install the appliance inside the room being air-
conditioned. In general, near a window or
door. In any case, near a perimeter wall. The
indoor unit must be positioned on an even sur-
face, where possible on a table, or other piece
of furniture (see Figures 1 and 2). There must
be no obstructions to the air intake (rear grilles
)and outlet (top outlet grille ) on the
indoor unit.

POSITIONING THE CONNECTION SHEATH
The sheath connecting the outdoor and
indoor units can be passed through the gap in a
window or door left ajar; use the suckers to
prevent them from opening further. In addition
to the methods described above, the sheath
connecting the external and internal units can
also pass through a hole with a diameter of
about 9 cm in an external wall.
The internal unit can be mounted permanently
using the bracket accessory (see mounting
instructions provided with the bracket kit).

Before passing the sheath through the hole
in the wall, you should protect the ends of
the quick-fit coupling using the caps provi-
ded or with paper tape.
The external unit can also be mounted perma-
nently by purchasing the wall bracket kit from a
De'Longhi service centre or dealer.
DISCONNECTING THE TWO UNITS
To disconnect the internal and external units,
proceed as follows:
1) Undo the two screws on the cover protec-
ting the external unit couplings. (Fig. 3)
2) Remove the protection from the electrical
connections on the external unit by
undoing the screw. (Fig. 4)
This should always be done with the
appliance unplugged from the mains.
3) Disconnect the condensate coupling by
pushing on the sleeve Aand pulling the
tube out. (Fig. 5)

4) Undo the right hand screw on the cable
clip. (Fig. 6)
5) Disconnect the electrical connector by
pushing the tabs B, then pulling out the
connector (fig. 7)
6) Remove the safety plug (fig. 8).
7) Open the locking lever on the quick-fit
coupling. To facilitate closing, use the
extension , fitting it onto the lever and
turning until fully open (see figure 9).
24
8) Disconnect the male and female cou-
plings by pushing the sleeve backwards
and pulling (Fig. 10).
To avoid damage to the couplings, before
passing the sheath through the hole in the
wall, you should protect the ends of the
quick-fit coupling using the caps provided or
with paper tape (Fig. 11).
22
Make sure the connecting sheath is free of
kinks.
Important
Always disconnect or connect the quick-fit
couplings in the open air or adequately ven-
tilated rooms.

ning of the unit in a manner not compliant
with the basic standards of safety.
Preparing for use
HOW TO CONNECT THE SHEATH
To connect the sheath, follow the above pro-
cedure in reverse. When connecting the
water drain hose, make sure it is pushed in as
far as it will go.
POSITIONING THE OUTDOOR UNIT
The outdoor unit can be placed on a terrace
or balcony (Fig. 12).
The outdoor unit can also be installed on a
window sill, if this faces onto a balcony (Fig.
13)
fig. 12
fig. 13
fig. 14
The outdoor unit may be installed above or at
the same level as the indoor unit, provided
that the difference in level is not greater than
1.5m. The air intake and outlet of the outdoor
unit must be kept clear of obstacles. Leave at
least 6cm between the wall and the rear of
the appliance.
The condensate forming during operation in
air-conditioning mode (in summer) is almost
totally eliminated via evaporation from the
outdoor unit.
In particular cases, if there is excessive humi-
dity, the condensate is drained through a
hole in the base.
To drain the water that forms, use the con-
densate drain connector supplied, which
must be fitted on the base of the outdoor unit
(see Figure 14). This can then be connected
to a rubber hose
Note: If appropriate, the external unit can be
protected with the protective cover fixing
it with the screw provided. The outdoor unit
should be protected from the sun, rain, snow
and drips from the roof.

Functions
HEATING MODE
•Press the button to turn the appliance on.
•Press the MODE button a number of times until the heating sym-
bol appears on the display.
•Now set the temperature using the buttons.
•To select fan speed, press the FAN button repeatedly until the
required fan speed is selected (automatic, high, medium, low).
SMART MODE
In SMART mode, the air-conditioning unit decides the best way to
operate to guarantee maximum comfort.
•Press the button to turn the appliance on.
•Press the SMART button. The appliance functions automatically
and the symbol appears on the display.
NB: in SMART mode, the temperature is controlled automatically.
However, if the required temperature has not yet been reached, it
can be reduced or increased by a maximum of 2°C by pressing the
buttons.
The appliance automatically establishes the operating mode (air-
conditioning, fan, heating) and the optimum fan speed.
As SMART is an automatic mode, SLEEP and internal fan speed can-
not be selected even if they appear on the remote control display.
AUTOMATIC SLEEP MODE
The automatic SLEEP mode is ideal for the night-time as it enables
operation of the air-conditioning unit in any of the modes (air-con-
ditioning, dehumidifying, heating) to be gradually reduced until it
shuts down completely (after eight hours).
To select SLEEP mode, proceed as follows:
•Press the button to turn the appliance on.
•Press the MODE button a number of times until the symbol of the
function required appears on the display.
•Then select the required temperature by pressing the but-
tons.
•Now press the SLEEP button to set the night function. The sym-
bol is displayed. Press the SLEEP button again to go back to the
previous mode. In this mode, the fan operates at low speed.
The SLEEP function maintains the room temperature at the optimum level, avoiding
excessive increases or drops in the temperature, with silent operation.
The flow of air decreases, while the room temperature is varied gradually accor-
ding to the comfort requirements: increases of 1°C after 60 minutes and 2°C after 2
hours (it switches off altogether after eight hours).
