Preparing for Use
These instructions 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:
•Fit the air exhaust hose into the housing at the back
of the unit. (Fig 1)
•Fit the window outlet to the end of the hose.
•Place the air-conditioner near a window or French
window. Adjust the length of the hose so that it
reaches the window.
•ake sure the air exhaust hose is unobstructed.
•Open the window or French window slightly and
position the outlet. (Fig 2)
•If you have a sash window, place the bracket on the
windowsill, then extend the bracket fully within the
window frame and fix the bracket using the pin.
Once done, lower the window onto the bracket.
Insert the window outlet of the exhaust hose into the
slot, then connect the hose to the air conditioner.
(Fig 3)
Keep the air hose as short and free of curves as possible
to avoid bottlenecks.
✔When installing the air-conditioner semi-
permanently, you should leave a door slightly open
(as little as 1cm) to guarantee correct ventilation.
