Please note: Never turn off the air conditioner by simply pulling the plug. Press the key in order to put your air conditioner in stand-by and wait a few minutes before pulling the plug. In this manner, the appliance can perform operating status checks.

MODE SELECTION

To select the desired operating mode, press repeatedly the MODE key (C2) until the desired function is selected.

AIR CONDITIONING MODE

This is ideal for hot and humid weather when the room needs to be both cooled and dehumidified.

To correctly set this mode:

• Press repeatedly the MODE key (C2) until the air conditioning indicator (C9) appears. The display (C12) will show the desired temperature.

• To change the temperature to be reached, press the (C3) or (C4) key.

• Select the desired fan speed by pressing the (C5) key.

The speeds available are:

Minimum air flow: when maximum quiet operation is desired.

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

Maximum air flow: to reach the desired temperature as soon as possible.

The appliance automatically chooses the best fan speed based on the temperature selected and the environmental conditions.

The most suitable temperatures during the summer range from 75 to 80°F (24 to 27°C). However, setting the temperature significantly lower than the outdoor temperature is not recommended.

DEHUMIDIFYING MODE

This is ideal for reducing humidity in the room (spring and autumn, damp rooms, rainy periods, etc). For this type of use, the appliance must be set up the same as for air conditioning mode. That is, the air exhaust hose (B1) must be fitted to the appliance to allow the humidity to be discharged outside.

To correctly set this mode:

• Press repeatedly the MODE key (C2) until the dehumidifying indicator (C10) appears.

• The appliance will automatically choose the best air flow. It cannot be adjusted manually. Also, temperature cannot be selected in dehumidifier mode so digital display will not appear.

AIR CONDITIONING MODE

Note: in case of high ambient humidity, it is possible to drain the condensate continuously by applying the hose supplied (B5) to the upper drainage hose (A10) and thus allowing the water to flow into a container. Remove the external AND internal caps before connecting the hose (see Fig. 6B). Pay attention the water does not overflow onto the floor and the drainage tube is not obstructed (Fig. 6A).

FAN MODE

When using this mode, the air exhaust hose (B1) does not need to be attached to the appliance.

To correctly set this mode:

• Press repeatedly the MODE (C2) key until the fan indicator appears.

• Press repeatedly the (C5) key to select the desired air flow.

The air flows available are:

Minimum air flow: when maximum quiet operation is desired.

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

Maximum air flow: for maximum performance.
