During the summer, optimum comfort is achieved with a temperature of around 24 °C and 50%
relative humidity.
An air conditioner removes moisture and heat from the room where it is located. One advantage
of portable air conditioning units over fitted models is that they can be moved from one room to
another in the home or even transferred
between different buildings.
The hot air in your room is passed
through a coil cooled by refrige-
rant gas, removing excess heat
and moisture before being
discharged again into the
room.
In single unit models, a
small amount of this air is
used to cool the refrige-
rant gas, then the hot and
moist air is discharged out-
side.

WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
IMPORTANT
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the
following code:
Green and yellow: Earth
Blue: Neutral
Brown: Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not correspond
with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug,
proceed as follows: The green and yellow wire must be
connected to the terminal in the plug marked with the letter E or
the earth symbol or coloured green or green and yellow.
The blue wire must be connected to the terminal marked with the
letter N or coloured black. The brown wire must be connected to
the terminal marked with the letter L or coloured red.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION (U.K. ONLY)
A) If your appliance comes fitted with a plug, it will incorporate
a 13 Amp fuse. If it does not fit your socket, the plug should
be cut off from the mains lead, and an appropriate plug
fitted, as below.
WARNING: Very carefully dispose of the cut off plug after
removing the fuse: do not insert in a 13 Amp socket
elsewhere in the house as this could cause a shock hazard.
With alternative plugs not incorporating a fuse, the circuit
must be protected by a 15 Amp fuse.
If the plug is a moulded-on type, the fuse cover must be re-
fitted when changing the fuse using a 13 Amp Asta
approved fuse to BS 1362. In the event of losing the fuse
cover, the plug must NOT be used until a replacement fuse
cover can be obtained from your nearest electrical dealer.
The colour of the correct replacement fuse cover is that as
marked on the base of the plug.
B) If your appliance is not fitted with a plug, please follow the
instructions provided below:

AIR CONDITIONING FUNCTIONS
The unit is turned off, the function selector
is in the “O” position. To turn the unit on in air
conditioning mode, proceed as follows:
1. Rotate the function selector dial clockwise:
•Place the large star symbol in line with
the reference mark to operate the unit in
air conditioning mode at maximum fan
speed.
•Place the small star symbol in line with
the reference mark to operate the unit in
air conditioning mode at minimum fan
speed.
2. Now set the required temperature by rota-
ting the room thermostat dial .
Regulation of the thermostat
The temperature is not expressed in degrees.
We recommend that you turn the thermostat
dial to the maximum position. When the desi-
red room temperature has been reached,
slowly turn the thermostat in a clockwise
direction until it arrives at the position where a
click can be heard. The temperature selec-
ted in this way will automatically be regulated
and maintained, and save energy. When
regulating the thermostat, the air conditio-
ning function is temporarily interrupted and
the unit continues to operate in fan only
mode.
VENTILATION
Rotate the function selector anticlockwise.
•Place the large symbol in line with the

•the socket is suited to the plug ,
otherwise have the socket replaced;
•the socket is properly earthed. The manu-

between changing from one function to
another.
THIS UNIT EMPLOYS AN EXCLUSIVE CON-
DENSATION RECYCLING SYSTEM TO DISPO-
SE OF EXCESS MOISTURE.
IN NORMAL CONDITIONS, CONDENSA-
TION IS DISPOSED OF AUTOMATICALLY.
WHEN THE HUMIDITY IS PARTICULARLY
HIGH, AN EXCESS OF CONDENSATION
MAY BUILT UP IN THE TANK .. WHEN THIS
HAPPENS, THE INDICATOR LIGHT .
COMES ON INDICATING THAT THE TANK
SHOULD BE EMPTIED.
ONLY FOR SOME MODEL IN EXTREME CASE
IF THIS PROBLEM IS CURRENT YOU MAY
DISCHARGE THE EXCESS WATER FROM THE
TANK DIRECTLY INTO A DRAIN. USE THE
RUBBER TUBE WITH AN INTERNAL DIAMETER
OF 12 mm. THE TUBE SHOULD BE INSERTED
INTO THE HOLE PROVIDED AFTER REMO-
VING THE RUBBER BUNG MAKE SURE THE
TANK . IS PUT BACK CORRECTLY
OTHERWISE THE LIGHT . WILL REMAIN ON
(SEE FIG. G). THE INTERNAL TANK CAN ALSO
BE DRAINED BY REMOVING THE BUNG FROM
THE DRAIN HOSE INTO A SUITABLE RECEP-
TACLE.

Follow these recommendations to achieve
maximum efficiency from your air conditio-
ning unit:
•Close the doors and windows in the room
where the unit is functioning. The only
exception is in the case of installation throu-
gh a hole in the wall or window. In this case,
you are recommended to allow a small
amount of air to enter through a door or
window to guarantee an adequate
exchange of air.
•Protect the room from direct exposure to
the sun’s rays by drawing the curtains
and/or partially lowering the blinds so as
to maximise energy savings.
•Do not rest objects on the air conditioning
unit.
•Do not obstruct the air intake or outlet
.
•Make sure there are no heat sources in the
room.

Before cleaning or maintainig the unit, always turn
the unit off by placing the selector in the “O” posi-
tion and unplug from the mains .
CLEANING THE APPLIANCE
We recommend cleaning the appliance with
a slightly damp cloth then drying with a dry
cloth. For safety reasons, do not wash the air
conditioner with water.
Precautions
Never clean with benzene, alcohol or sol-
vents. Never spray liquid insecticide or similar.
CLEANING THE AIR FILTERS.
To maintain the air conditioning unit at peak
efficiency, you are recommended to clean
the filter weekly.
The air purification filters are located behind the
two intake grilles.
To clean the filters:
1.Remove the intake grills on either side
of the appliance (see fig. H).
7
To remove dust deposited on the filter, use a
vacuum cleaner. If very dirty, rinse repeatedly
in warm water at a temperature of not more
than 40° C.
After washing, dry the filter. To replace, put
the filters back into the intake grill, then hook
the latter to the unit.
START OF SEASON CHECKS
Check that the power cable and socket are
undamaged and that the earth installation is
efficient. Carefully observe the installation
instructions.
END OF SEASON OPERATIONS
Empty the residual water by removing the
bung in the drainage tube . Take out the
condensation tank located in the rear of
the unit and empty it. After replacing the
bung, put the condensation tank back.
Clean the filters and dry well before repla-
cing.
Protect the unit from dust by covering with a
plastic bag.
