• Use this appliance only as described in this instruction manual.
As with any electrical appliance, the instructions aim to cover as many situations as possible.
Caution and common sense should be used when operating and installing this air conditioner.
• This appliance has been manufactured to cool and dehumidify domestic environments and
must not be used for other purposes.
• It is dangerous to alter or modify the unit's characteristics in any way.
• The appliance must be installed in accordance with the relevant national legislation.
• Should repairs be necessary, contact the nearest authorized Repair Service Center. Unautho-

sory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• In the case that the power cord becomes damaged, this must be repaired only by specialized per-
sonnel authorized by the manufacturer in order to protect against fire.
• Always ensure the appliance is plugged into a grounded 3-prong outlet. If you have any doubts
check with a qualified electrician.
• We strongly discourage the use of an extension cord due to potential safety hazards. For tem-
porary situations, use only CSA certified and UL listed 3-prong grounded extension cord,

Setting up your portable
air conditioner
TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE UNIT:
NEVER TRANSPORT OR TURN THE APPLIANCE UPSIDE DOWN OR ON ITS SIDE. IF THIS OCCURS, WAIT
6 HOURS BEFORE TURNING THE APPLIANCE ON, 24 HOURS IS RECOMMENDED. After the unit has
been on its side, oil needs to return to the compressor to ensure proper function. Without allow-
ing the unit this time (6-24 hours) the unit may function for only a short time, and then the com-
pressor will break down from lack of oil.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Before plugging the appliance into the outlet, check that:
• The outlet’s power supply corresponds to the value indicated on the rating label on the back
of the appliance;
• The outlet and electrical circuit are adequate for the appliance;
• The outlet is a 3-hole grounded outlet . If this is not the case, you must choose another outlet.
Failure to follow these important safety instructions absolves the manufacturer of all liability.
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.
If it becomes necessary, the power cable must be replaced by a qualified professional only.
Other set-up methods:
• 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).
• If you have a casement window (figure D)
follow steps 2 & 3 and place the window
outlet (12) outside the window to exhaust
the hot air.
For help with installation, operation, and
for all accessories and spare/replacement
parts, Please contact our toll free cus-
tomer service call center at:

AIR CONDITIONING WITHOUT INSTALLATION
NOTE: Keep the air hoses as short and free of
curves as possible to avoid constrictions.
FOR OPTIMAL RESULTS SET-UP IN A DOU-
BLE-HUNG WINDOW:
1) Place the bracket in the window sill,
extend the bracket fully within the window
frame, fix the bracket by using the pin
then lower the window onto the bracket.
(Should the window bracket be too large
for the window. The plastic can be cut
with a saw by a qualified professional.)
2) Fit the air exhaust hose in the housing at
the back of the appliance. Insert it as
shown in figure A.
3) Connect the window outlet (12) to the
other end of the exhaust hose.
4) Insert the window outlet end of the exhau-
st hose into the slot of the window bracket
(fig. B).

Semi-permanent installation
SEMI-PERMANENT INSTALLATION
If required, your appliance can also be
installed semi-permanently (Fig. E).
Proceed as follows:
• Drill a hole ø 5,25 inches (134 mm) in an
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 (10) into the hole.
• Fit the air exhaust hose (11) in the rele-
vant housing located on the rear side of
the appliance. (fig. Apage 5).
• Fit the end of the hose (11) to the wall
flange (10) as shown in fig. G.
When the hose (11) is not connected, the dril-
led hole can be closed with the flange cap
(10).
NOTE: When installing the air conditioner
semi-permanently, you should leave a door
slightly open little as 1/2 “ (1 cm) to guar-
antee correct ventilation and room pressure.

Keep the air hoses as short and free of
curves as possible to avoid constrictions.
“As special tools are required for installa-
tion, we suggest you have the applian-
ce installed by specialized personnel.”

Operation
TURNING THE APPLIANCE ON
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 off.
Press the MODE button (B) until the light corresponding to the desired
mode lights up:
Light (Q):AIR-CONDITIONING MODE
Light (P):DEHUMIDIFYING MODE
Light (O):FAN MODE
AIR CONDITIONING MODE
Ideal for hot muggy weather when you need to cool and dehumidify the
room.
To set this mode: press the + (E) or - (F) buttons until the desired tempe-
rature is displayed.
Then select the fan speed by pressing the “FAN” button (C) until the light
corresponding to the required fan speed lights up:
HIGH:MAXIMUM SPEED the air conditioner operates at maximum to
achieve the target temperature as rapidly as possible
MED:MEDIUM SPEED reduces noise levels while maintaining a comfor-
table temperature
LOW:LOW SPEED for silent operation and maximum energy efficiency
AUTO:AUTO: the appliance automatically selects the most suitable
fan speed in relation to the temperature set on the digital display
and current room temperature.
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
DEHUMIDIFYING MODE
Ideal to reduce room humidity (spring and autumn, damp rooms, rainy
periods, etc). In dehumidifying mode, the appliance MUST be set-up in
the same way as for air conditioning, with the air exhaust hose attached
to enable the moisture to be discharged outside.
When the dehumidifying mode is selected, the light (P) comes on and
“ ” appears on the display.
At the same time, the AUTO fan light (N) comes on.
In this mode, fan speed is selected automatically by the appliance and
cannot be set manually.
FAN MODE
The unit operates without cooling or dehumidifying. This mode provides
ventilation only. When using the appliance in this mode, the air exhaust
hose does not need to be connected. Adjust fan speed by pressing the
“FAN” button (C) as described for the air-conditioning mode.
In this mode, AUTO speed cannot be selected.
The fan speed selected will be displayed.

is installed through a hole in the wall.
In this case, you are recommended to
leave a slight draught through a door or
window to guarantee correct ventilation.
• Protect the room from direct exposure to
the sun by partially closing curtains and/or
blinds to help the appliance run more effi-
ciently.
Tips
close doors and windows
close blinds or curtains
• Never rest objects of any kind on the air
conditioner.
• Never obstruct the air intake (6) or outlet
(1)grilles.
• Minimize the number of heat sources in
the room.

to assume for us any liability in connection with the sale or use of our AIR CONDITIONER. This war-
ranty shall not apply to any AIR CONDITIONER that has been repaired or altered outside our fac-
