TURNING THE APPLIANCE ON AND OFF
Before connecting the plug to the power outlet. make sure that the drainage hose caps (A10) (A11) located on the back of the appliance are correctly inserted. Once plugged into the power outlet. the stand-by indicator lights up. Press the Power (C1) key to turn on the appliance. When the appliance turns on it will be activated with the last function set before it was shut off.
To turn the appliance off. press the 
key.
Please note: If start-up is not continued. after a few minutes the display light dims in order to reduce energy consumption.
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 significant ly lower than the outdoor temperature is not recommended.
DEHUMIDIFYING MODE
This is ideal for reducing humidity in the room (spring and au tumn. 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.
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 wa-ter 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.
SELECTING THE TEMPERATURE SCALE
The temperature can be displayed in °C or °F.
To change the temperature unit of measure select the air con ditioning mode then press both the decrease (C3) and in crease (C4) keys at the same time for about 3 seconds. You must follow these steps on both the unit itself AND the remote control.

TIPS FOR CORRECT USE
To ensure optimal results from your air conditioner. follow these recommendations: Close the windows and doors in the room to be air condi tioned. When installing the air conditioner semi-perma nently. you should leave a door slightly open (as little as 0.4 in/1cm) 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 par tially 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.
CLEANING
Before cleaning or maintenance. turn the appliance off by pressing the C1, then unplug from the outlet.
CLEANING THE CABINET
You should clean the appliance with a slightly damp cloth then dry with a dry cloth. For safety reasons. never wash the air con ditioner with water.
Attention! Never use alcohol or solvents to clean the appliance. Never spray insecticide liquids or similar.
CLEANING THE AIR FILTER
To maintain the efficiency of the air conditioner. it is recom mended to clean the dust filter after every week of use. The filter is located near the intake grille and the grille is located on the filter housing. To clean the filter. it must be removed as shown in figure 8. Then. remove filter from air inlet grille (A6) as shown in figure 10.
Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any dust. If it is very dirty. sub merge it in warm water and rinse it several times (fig. 9).
The water temperature must be kept below 104°F/ 40°C. After washing the filter. allow it to dry. To replace. put the filter back in its housing (fig. 10).
CHECKS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SEASON
Make sure the power cable and socket are in perfect condition and make sure the ground system is sufficient. Comply strictly with the installation standards.
END OF SEASON OPERATIONS
To completely drain the water from the internal circuit. remove the cap from the lower drainage hose. turning it counter clock wise. then remove the internal cap (figure 11).
Drain the water completely into a basin (fig.12). When it is total ly drained. replace the caps. making sure they are closed. Clean the filter as indicated previously. The filter must be dry before reinserting it.
LIMIT CONDITIONS
Room temperature for air conditioning 64° - 95°F (18° - 35°C)
Transporting. loading. cleaning. recovery and disposal of the refrigerant must only be performed by technical ser vice centers authorized by the manufacturing company.
The appliance must only be disposed by specialized per sonnel authorized by the municipality in which you live.
Attention! TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE UNIT: NEVER TRANSPORT OR TURN THE APPLIANCE UPSIDE DOWN OR ON ITS SIDE. IF THIS OCCURS. 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 en sure proper function. Without allowing the unit this time (6-24 hours) the unit may function for only a short time. and then the compressor will break down from lack of oil.
