USING THE CST REMOTE CONTROL

The CST remote control senses temperature and humidity like a thermostat for a personalized custom cool around you. By keeping the CST remote nearby, it will track humidity and temperature around you making sure you’ll always enjoy your desired comfort.

• The remote control must be no more than about 33 ft (10 meters) away from the appliance (fig. 8) (even in non line of sight). The maximum range may be lower depending on the environment. It belongs to Bluetooth class 2 device class.

• The CST remote control must be handled with care. Do not drop it or expose it to direct sunlight or sources of heat. It is advisable to keep the CST remote control placed on a table or a flat surface. Do not hold the CST remote control in your hand for long time to avoid altering the reading of the sensors.

• The CST sensors are also disabled if the CST remote control is positioned at a distance less than 3.3ft (1 m) from the unit.

• The CST remote control is equipped with touch sensitive buttons.

• The CST remote control is equipped with a double color builtin LED (D10) (white/red). White indications are used for:

- signaling the touching of each button with 3 fast flashes

- every 30 seconds it blinks for data transmission

- signaling the entering of pairing phase with periodic blinking

- signaling the batteries good status

• The same indications but in red color mean that the batteries begin to be exhausted.

TURNING THE APPLIANCE ON/OFF

• Plug into the outlet.

• Touch the ON/STAND-BY button (D1). When turned on, the air conditioner starts operating in the same mode as when it was turned off.

• Touch the ON/STAND-BY button (D1) again to switch the appliance off.

SELECTING THE OPERATING MODES

The operating modes available on the CST remote control through the MODE button (D2) correspond to those on the appliance control panel (C).

SELECTING THE TEMPERATURES

In conditioning mode touch ∨ button (D3) or ∧ (D4) to select the desired temperature.

SELECTING THE AIR FLOW

In conditioning and fan modes, touch button (D7) to select the desired air flow.

The air flows available are:

Minimum air flow: when room has cooled down and you want a quieter operation.

Medium air flow: when the noise level needs to be low but with a good comfort level.

Maximum air flow: for maximum performance.

Auto: the appliance automatically chooses the air flow based on the temperature selected and the environmental conditions. This selection is only available in conditioning mode.

ECO REAL FEEL FUNCTION

ECO REAL FEEL is the innovative De’Longhi technology that works simultaneously on temperature reduction and humidity control, securing best comfort level. With traditional systems, during working time, optimal comfort conditions may be reached but not secured over time. With ECO REAL FEEL, once optimal comfort is reached, PAC automatically modulates compressor action and air flow, to keep it over time which can save up to 30% on energy usage.

To activate the function, touch the button (D9) on remote control and the ECO REAL FEEL symbol appears.

The “ECO REAL FEEL” status indicator (C9) becomes white for approx. 1 min. to indicate that the appliance is checking the room conditions. Afterwards the “ECO REAL FEEL” status indicator (C9) changes colour as it approaches comfort conditions (see following diagram). For this type of use, the appliance must be set up as for air conditioning mode.

• In particularly severe environmental conditions (large size of the environment, high temperature or humidity outside, poor insulation of the room, too many of people or strong heat load in the room, strong exposure to the sun ...) this device may not be able to reach the best comfort level.

ARCTIC WHISPER(available in conditioning mode only)

By activating this function, the operating noise is further reduced. To activate it, touch on the remote control the button (D6). The display shows the relative symbol (C12).

SWING FUNCTION

This function moves the flap evenly, distributing the air into the room.

When the Swing button (D5) is touched, the flap will begin to move forwards and backwards alternatively.

If touched again, the flap will be locked into its current position. When the button is next touched, the flap will start to move forwards and backwards again

SETTING THE TIMER

The timer allows the delayed start up or shut down of the appliance. This function will prevent wasting electricity by optimising the operating periods.

How to program delayed shut down

• While the appliance is on in any operating mode, delayed shut down can be programmed.

• Touch the timer button (D8): the timer symbol (C15) and hours (C16) light up

• Touch the ∨(D3) and ∧ (D4) buttons until the desired number of hours to shut down appears on the display.

A few seconds after the timer is set, the setting is acquired, the display shows the operating mode and the timer symbol stays lit. Once the set time is elapsed, the air conditioner goes into Standby. To cancel the timer program, touch the timer button (D8) twice. The timer symbol (C15) will go off.

How to program delayed start up

• Plug in the appliance and set to standby.

• Touch the timer button (D8): the timer symbol (C15) and hours (C16) light up.

• Touch the ∨(D3) and ∧ (D4) buttons until the desired number of hours to start up appears. Start up can be programmed at any time within the 24 hours that follow.

When the set time is elapsed, the appliance will start to operate in the same operating mode that was previously set.

To cancel the timer program, touch the timer button (D8) twice. The timer symbol (C15) will go off.

REPEAT PAIRING OF CST REMOTE CONTROL

The CST remote control is already paired to the bundled Pinguino appliance. In case the user wants to perform a pairing with another Pinguino device, or in case of a pairing of brand new CST remote control, the user needs to put the unit in Stand-by mode and keep touched for 10 secs the MODE selection button (D2) on the CST remote control. The Led (D10) starts blinking periodically indicating the pairing phase.

The user is then asked to press for 10 sec the MODE button (C2) on the Pinguino unit until a double beep is emitted. The pairing phase is signaled on display by means of a fast flashing of the dot in the middle of the digits.

When the two devices complete the pairing dialogue, the PAC emits a double ‘beep’, the display will show the normal visualization for Standby.

The pairing must be done within 60 sec.

USAGE TIPS

• The CST remote control has humidity/temperature sensors on board. It is suggested not to completely cover it with hands or clothes; it is as well suggested not to place in obstructed air flow zones. In addition to that it is preferable to keep the device far from direct sunlight exposure or heat sources in order to avoid miss sensor readings.

• The CST remote control is equipped with touch sensitive buttons. It is suggested to use it with clean hands and without dust or liquids/humidity over it.

• The CST Remote control is expected to run for approx. 6 months with the same battery pack. This assumption is based on the use of 2300 mAh LR6 AA batteries.

TIPS FOR CORRECT USE

To ensure optimal results from your air conditioner, follow these recommendations:

• Close the windows and doors where air conditioner will be used. When installing the air conditioner semi-permanently, you should leave a door slightly open (as little as 0,39 inches - 1 cm) to guarantee proper ventilation.

• Never use the appliance in very damp rooms (laundries for example).

• Protect the room from direct exposure to the sun by partially closing curtains and/or blinds to make the appliance much more economical to run.

• Never use the appliance outdoors.

• Make sure there are no heat sources in the room.

• Make sure the air conditioner is standing on a level surface.

• Never rest objects of any kind on the air conditioner.

• Never obstruct the air intake or air outlet flap (see fig. below).

CLEANING

Before cleaning or maintenance, turn the appliance off by touching the button, then unplug from the outlet.

CLEANING THE APPLIANCE

You should clean the appliance with a slightly damp cloth then dry with a dry cloth. For safety reasons, never wash the air conditioner with water.

Attention! Never use petrol, alcohol or solvents to clean the appliance. Never spray insecticide liquids or similar.

CLEANING THE BIO SILVER AIR FILTER

The BioSilver filter helps capture dust and pollen and helps reduce the growth of bacteria and mold on the filter.

If the filter is dirty, air circulation is compromised and the efficiency of the appliance decreases. It is therefore good practice to clean the filter at regular intervals. The frequency depends on the duration and conditions of operation. If the unit is used constantly or systematically, you are recommended to clean the filter once a week. The filter is housed in the intake grille. To clean the filter, extract as shown in fig. 9.

Use a vacuum cleaner to remove the dust collected on the filter. If it is very dirty, immerse in warm water and rinse a number of times. The water should never be hotter than 104°F.

After washing the filter, allow it to dry completely before repositioning it.

START OF SEASON CHECKS

Make sure the power cable and plug are undamaged and the earth system is efficient.

Follow the installation instructions precisely

END OF SEASON OPERATIONS

To drain all water from the circuit, remove the external cap by unscrewing it in the anticlockwise direction and allow the water to drain out into a basin (fig. 10).

When the appliance is empty, replace the caps.

Clean the filter and dry thoroughly before putting back. In order to properly storage the appliance at the end of the season, we suggest you cover it with the supplied end of season dust cover (B9) and you put the accessories in the relevant end of season accessories bag (B8).
