TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE UNIT:
NEVER TRANSPORT OR TURN THE APPLIANCE UPSIDE DOWN OR ON ITSSIDE. IF THISOCCURS, 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 ashort time, and then the com-
pressor will break down from lack of oil.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Before plugging the appliance into the outlet, check that:
o The outlet's power supply corresponds to the value indicated on the rating label on the back
of the appliance;
o The outlet and electrical circuit are adequate for the appliance;
o The outlet isa 3-hole grounded outlet(_). If this is not the case, you must choose another outlet.
Failure tofollow 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.
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).
Other set-up methods:
o 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 acasement window (figure D)
follow steps 2 & 3 and place the window
outlet (12) outside the window to exhaust
the hot air.

SEMI-PERMANENT INSTALLATION

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
