IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Use this appliance only as described in this instruction manual. As with all electrical equip-
ment, whilst the instructions aim to cover as many eventualities as possible, caution and
common sense should be applied when operating and installing this appliance.
This appliance is designed for home air conditioning and must not be used for other pur-
poses
It is dangerous to modify or alter the characteristics of the appliance in any way.
The appliance must be installed in conformity with national legislation regulating electrical
equipment and installations.
If the appliance requires repair, contact a Service Centre authorised by the manufacturer
only. Repairs carried out by unauthorised personnel may be dangerous.
This appliance must be used exclusively by adults.
Never allow the appliance to be used by people (including children) with psychological,
physical or sensory impairments or with insufficient experience and knowledge, unless clo-
sely supervised and instructed by someone responsible for their safety. Young children
should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
The appliance must be connected to an efficient earth system. Have your electrical circuit
checked by a qualified electrician.
Do not use extension cables.
Before cleaning or maintenance, always unplug the appliance from the mains socket.
Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the power cable.
Do not install the appliance in rooms containing gas, oil or sulphur. Do not install near sour-
ces of heat
Keep the appliance at least 50 cm away from flammable substances (alcohol etc) or pres-
surised containers (eg aerosol cans).
Do not rest heavy or hot objects on top of the appliance.
Clean the air filter at least once a week.
Avoid using heating appliances near the air conditioner.
Always transport the appliance upright or resting on one side. Before moving the applian-
ce, empty the internal circuit completely of water. After moving the appliance, wait at least
1 hour before starting it.
When putting the appliance away, do not cover with plastic bags.

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 environment and health deriving
from inappropriate disposal and enables the constituent materials to be recove-
red to obtain significant savings in energy and resources.As a reminder of the
need to dispose of household appliances separately, the product is marked with
a crossed-out wheeled dustbin.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Before plugging the appliance into the mains socket, check that:
the mains power supply corresponds to the value indicated on the rating plate on the back
of the appliance;
the power socket and electrical circuit are adequate for the appliance.
the mains socket matches the plug. If this is not the case, have the plug replaced;
the mains socket is adequately earthed. Failure to follow these important safety instructions
absolves the manufacturer of all liability.

PREPARING FOR USE
The instructions below will enable you to prepare your air condi-
tioner for operation as efficiently as possible.
Before use, make sure the air intake and outlet grilles are unob-
structed.
AIR-CONDITIONING WITHOUT INSTALLATION
Just a few simple steps and your comfort is ensured with your
appliance:
Fit the air exhaust hose in the housing at the back of the
appliance (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 to reach the window.
Make sure the air exhaust hose is unobstructed.
Open the window or French window slightly and position the
outlet (fig. 2).
If you have a double window, use the sucker provided to hold
the two parts of the window together (fig. 4).
