Introduction
The portable air conditioner is a compact unit for regulating air temperature and humidity. Its extremely
flexible characteristics make it easy to use at any time and in any room. It can be operated in multiple
modes including cooling, dehumidifying and ventilating. The appliance has been designed for dome-
stic use and may be used in the home, office, etc.
It must be connected to an outlet with an impedance of less than 0.197 Ohms.
If necessary, consult your electricity supply company for information on impedance values.
TIPS FOR ENERGY SAVING
•Keep blinds and/or curtains and windows closed during the sunniest hours of the day (cooling func-
tion).
•Keep the filter clean. In normal conditions, the filter should be cleaned about every 2 weeks. The fil-
ter eliminates part of the pollutant particles or dust transported in the air. Air quality thus depends on
the frequency with which the filter is cleaned.

maximum of +35°C (95°F), with a choice of
temperatures in cooling mode of from +17°C
(62°F) to + 31°C (87°F).
In dehumidifying mode, the operating range
goes from +20°C (68°F) to + 31°C (87°F). The

rectly in place.
2. Press the "MODE" button repeatedly until
the air conditioning mode is selected.
"COOL" appears on the display.
While the unit is operating in air conditio-
ning mode, always place the exhaust
hose through an open window to eject
the hot air from the room.
3. Press the “SET TEMP” button to set a suita-
ble room temperature between +17°C
(62°F) and +31°C (87°F).
4. Press the FAN SPEED button to select a sui-
table fan speed: Max, Med, Min.
OPERATING IN DEHUMIDIFYING MODE
1. Keep the windows and door closed to
make dehumidification of the room more
efficient.

rectly in place.
3. Repeatedly press the "MODE" button to
select the dehumidifying mode. "DRY"
appears on the display.
4. Neither the fan speed nor temperature
can be regulated.
5. Do not use the exhaust hose to expel the
air outside. The hot air given out at the
back of the appliance should not be
expelled from the room.

a stable surface.
3. Attach the air exhaust hose to the air con-
ditioning unit.
4. Plug the air conditioning unit into a suitably
rated outlet.

tioning unit according to your require-
ments.
6. The cooling system will shut down when

nue to operate at the set speed.
If the room temperature rises above the
temperature set, the cooling system
comes on again automatically.
Operation
GB 18-11-2003 13:57 Pagina 8

CHOOSING THE INSTALLATION SITE
Position the air conditioning unit on a flat sur-
face where the air outlet grilles cannot be
obstructed. Position the appliance at least 50
cm (19.7) away from walls or obstacles.
CABLE WINDER
Before installing the air exhaust hose, mount
the two cable winder brackets using the
screws supplied as shown in the figure.
AIR EXHAUST ACCESSORIES
INSTALLING THE AIR EXHAUST HOSE
1. Open out the end of the hose and screw the
two adapters on counterclockwise (see figure).
2. Fit the square adapter on the air exhaust hose
to the air exhaust outlet on the appliance.
3. Connect the other end (flange) to the neare-
st window.
Important: the air exhaust hose must be
between 500 mm (19.7”) and 2000 mm
(78.7”) long. You are recommended to keep
the air exhaust hose as short as possible.
During installation, keep the hose as horizontal
as possible without distorting it. Do not con-
nect the terminal to other exhaust ducts (flue
or chimney) as this could lead to malfunction.
Correct wall installation: the hole must be
at a height of between 40 cm (15.7”) and
130 cm (51.2”) from the floor.

If the flange hose must be curved to expel the

in the figure:
MOUNTING THE ADJUSTABLE WINDOW CLOSU-
RE CROSSPIECE ( Only for some models )
The appliance is provided with an adjustable
bracket.
If you have a sliding window, position the cros-
spiece in the window frame, extend it comple-
tely then close the window onto the crosspie-
ce. Fit the window flange onto the end of the
air exhaust hose, position it on the hole in the
crosspiece, then fit the other end of the hose
onto the back of the air conditioning unit.
This considerably reduces heat dispersion due
to contact between the room and the outside
environment.
The crosspiece is 40 mm (1.5”) wide and
between 675 mm (26.7”) and 1230 mm (48.4”)
long.
