Information about the device
Device description
The device serves the purpose of cooling the room air. It further
filters and dehumidifies the air thus creating an agreeable room
climate.
The local air conditioner comes with an internal unit to be
positioned on the floor in interior spaces and with an external
unit for wall mounting or floor installation out of doors. In
cooling mode the produced compressor performance adapts
itself precisely to the demand and so regulates the target
temperature with minimal temperature fluctuations. In contrast
to conventional splitsystems this "inverter technique" saves
energy and reduces the noise emission to a particularly low
level.
The heat is transported to the external unit through a flexible
connection line. The external unit emits the absorbed warmth to
the outside air via another heat exchanger (condenser).
By means of a condensate pump located in the internal unit the
condensate accumulating during cooling operation is conveyed
to the external unit and there it evaporates on the heat
exchanger.
In ventilation mode the device provides the opportunity of air
circulation without cooling effect.
In dehumidification mode moisture is withdrawn from the air.
The device operates fully automatically and features a variety of
further options. The device can, for instance, be switched on or
off automatically with time delay via the timer function.
Operation of the device is possible either via the control panel at
the internal unit or via the supplied infrared remote control.

Connection line
Warning
The device must be disconnected from the mains
during the entire procedure! It may only be taken back
into operation, when all connections have been
re-established and checked. The fastenings and all
covers must have been reattached beforehand.
Note
Leaking refrigerant contributes to climate change.
Refrigerants with a lower global warming potential
have a smaller impact in the event of leakage. This
device contains refrigerant with a global warming
potential of 2088. What this means is that should 1kg
of this refrigerant escape, it's effect on global warming
will be 2088times greater than that of 1kg of CO2 –
referring to a period of 100years. Do not perform any
work on the refrigerant circuit and do not disassemble
the device– always consult specialist staff.
The connection line(5) can be guided outside through a door or
window left ajar. The connection line can be disconnected from
the internal unit, permitting you to install it through a wall
opening (Ø min. 60mm). Observe the following information
when installing the connection line:
• The connection line must never be jammed or kinked.
• The connection line must not be subjected to tension or
other mechanical stress.
• The pipe insulation and the protective cover must not be
damaged.
The connection line(5) is connected to the internal unit by
means of quick couplings. These allow you to disconnect the
connection line from the internal unit for assembly purposes
without the risk of losing refrigerant.
Notes regarding the disconnection of the connection line:
• The lines may only be disconnected and connected by a
certified specialist company for cooling and
air-conditioning.
• Only disconnect the devices immediately before assembly
