Air-conditioning with installation
If required, your appliance can also be installed semi-
permanently (Fig. D).
Proceed as follows:
• Drill a hole (ø134mm) in an outside wall orthrough a
window pane. Respect the height and dimensions of
the hole given in gure E.
Important! Keep the air hoses as short and free of
curves as possible to avoid constrictions.

OPERATION
Turning the appliance on
Please note: Before plugging the appliance
check: the caps on the back of the unit are correctly
inserted and screwed on the drainage hose 10.
Plug the appliance into the mains. Press the ON/STAND-BY
button (A) (when turned on, the local air conditioners tarts
operating in the same mode as when it was turned o). The
display shows the room temperature. Press the MODE button
(B) until the indicator light correspondingto the required
mode lights up:
Light (O): air-conditioning mode
Light (N): fan mode
Light (P): dehumidifying mode
Air-conditioning mode
Ideal for hot humid weather when you need to cool and
dehumidify the room. By default, the room temperature is
displayed. Light (S) is on. To set the required temperature,
press the + (E) or - (F) buttons until the required temperature
is displayed (to switch between °Fand °C, press the E and F
buttons together for a few seconds). Light (T) comes on
and light (S) goes o. Fifteen seconds after setting the
temperature, the display swit-ches back to room temperature.
Light (S) comes on again. You can adjust temperature in air
conditioning mode only. Then select the fan speed by pressing
the FAN button (C) untilthe indicator light corresponding to
the required fan speed lightsup:
MAX: the local air conditioner operates at maximum
to reach the required temperature as rapidly as
possible.
MED: reduces noise levels but still maintains a good level
of comfort

MIN: for silent operation
Please note: The most suitable temperature for the
room during the summer varies from 24 to 27°C. You are
recommended, however, not to set a temperature much below
the outdoor temperature.
Fan mode
Adjust fan speed by pressing the FAN button (C) as described
for the air-conditioning mode. Remember that the higher the
speed, the more air is ltered. If you select "MIN" speed, less
air is ltered but the appliance is also less noisy.
Dehumidifying mode
Ideal for reducing the humidity in a room (spring or autumn,
damp rooms, rainy spells, etc). When the dehumidifying
mode is selected, the light (P) comes on. At the same time,
the "MIN" fan speed light (M) comes on. In this mode, other
speeds cannot be selected.
Please note: remember to t the air exhaust hose as
described in the chapter "Preparing for use".
Programming the timer
The timer can be used to delay appliance start up or shut
down. This avoids wasting electricity by optimising operating
periods.
How to programme delayed start up
• Plug the appliance into a mains socket and press the
ON/STAND-BY button (A), then select the required
operating mode and other settings (temperature, fan
speed, etc).
• Press the ON/STAND-BY button (A) again to place the
appliance in standby mode.
• Press the timer button (D). The timer light "H" ashes.
• Use the + (E) or - (F) buttons to set the number of hours
delay before the appliance comes on.

You can set the appliance to come on with a delay of up to 24
hours. To cancel the timer programme, press the timer button
(D) again. Light (H) stops ashing.
How to programme delayed shut down
• Delayed shut down can be programmed in any operating
mode (air conditioning / fan/ dehumidifying).
• Press the timer button (D). The timer light "H" ashes.
• Use the + (E) or - (F) buttons to set the number of hours
delay before the appliance goes o.
The time increases or decreases in steps of one hour. The light

partially closing curtains and/orblinds to make the
appliance much more economical to run (see g. J);
• Never rest objects of any kind on the airconditioner (see
g. K);
• Never obstruct the air intake 6 or outlet 1 grilles;
• Make sure there are no heat sources in the room.
