MOUNTING THE EXHAUST-AIR TUBE
(Operating mode COOL)
The air-conditioner offers two ways of mounting the exhaust-air tube. The
exhaust-air tube can be pulled out to a length of between about 45 and 180 cm.
However, for best performance the length should be kept to a minimum.
IMPORTANT: Do not stretch or bend the exhaust-air tube (Fig. 6).
Temporary mounting
1. Push the exhaust-air tube (11) onto the attachment on the exhaust-air opening
(13) at the back of the air-conditioner and press it downwards until it is completely
and tightly fitted onto the air-outflow opening (13). Leave the styrofoam ring and the
black rubber washer in the exhaust-air tube (11), so that it is sealed and leak-proof.
2. Make sure that the reduction piece (12) is mounted securely on the other end of
the water tube (11).
3. Lead the exhaust-air tube (11) with the mounted reduction piece (12) through an
open window to outdoors. Make sure that the exhaust-air tube (11) and reduction
piece (12) are at a height of at least 30 cm up to a maximum height of 120 cm as
measured from the surface on which the air-conditioner is standing (Fig. 4+5).
4. If you no longer wish to use the air-conditioner, pull the exhaust-air tube back
into the room.
Permanent mounting
1. Push the air exhaust tube (11) onto the attachment on the air exhaust opening
(13) at the back of the air-conditioner and press it downwards until it is completely
fitted onto the exhaust-air opening (13). Leave the styrofoam ring and the black
rubber washer on the exhaust-air tube (11), so that it is sealed and leak-proof.
2. Drill a hole of 140-145mm diameter through an outside wall. Make sure that the
hole is at a height of at least 30cm up to a maximum height of 120cm as measured
from the surface on which the air-conditioner is standing (Fig. 5).
3. Push the adapter (28) into the hole and secure it to the wall with the four plugs
and screws (29) provided.
4. Push the exhaust-air tube (11) without the reduction piece (12) into the adapter (28).
5. If you do not wish to use the air-conditioner, pull the exhaust-air tube (11) out of
the adapter (28) and close the adapter with the cover (28).
WINDOW-MOUNTING TRACK
The window-mounting track can be mounted horizontally or vertically in most sash
or sliding windows. See Fig. 7 for minimum and maximum window openings.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
1. Check that the air-conditioner is switched off. Plug the power plug into the power
socket. Do not touch the power cord with wet hands.
2. Stand the air-conditioner on a firm, even surface. Make sure the air-conditioner is
standing securely so that it cannot tilt or fall over. A safety distance of at least 50 cm
from other objects must be observed. Make sure that the exhaust-air tube (11) is
firmly mounted for the COOL operating mode.
3. Make sure that the air-inflow grating (7) and air-outflow grating (2) are open and
that the exhaust-air tube (11) is mounted and leads to outdoors for the COOL
operating mode.
4. Press the power key (15) to (ON) to start operating the air-conditioner.
5. Press the operating key “MODE“ (17) to the desired operating mode
• COOL
• DRY
• FAN
The corresponding control light comes on.
Operating mode (COOL)
Press the keys “UP“ ( ) (higher) or “DOWN“( ) (lower) (21) to set the desired
room temperature to between 16 °C and 32 °C. The chosen temperature appears on
the LED display (22). Press the key “FAN“ (19) to set the fan-speed – “HIGH“–
“MED“ – “LOW“. The corresponding control light (20) comes on. Make sure that the
exhaust-air tube (11) is mounted according to the instructions in the section on
„Mounting the exhaust-air tube“ , and that it leads to outdoors. When you switch
this operating mode off, wait for at least 3 minutes before switching this mode back
on again, as otherwise the compressor could be damaged.
Operating mode (DRY)
In this mode the air-conditioners runs at a preset speed which cannot be adjusted.
The temperature cannot be selected on the control panel (1). Keep doors and win-
dows closed to enable the best dehumidification performance. Do not lead the
exhaust-air tube to outdoors. When you switch this operating mode off, wait for at
least 3 minutes before switching this mode back on, as otherwise the compressor
could be damaged.
Operating mode (FAN)
Press the “FAN“ (19) key to set the fan-speed “HIGH“ – “MED“ – “LOW“. The
corresponding control light (20) comes on. „F” appears on the LED display (22).
The temperature cannot be selected. Do not lead the exhaust-air tube (11) to outdoors.
6. Timer function
The timer function allows you to choose the time at which the air-conditioner is to
switch on or off automatically (between 1 and 24 hours). The set time is not real
time, but represents the period of time that is to elapse before the unit switches
itself on or off automatically. The functions can only be programmed separately. The
timer control light (25) comes on.
The air-conditioner is switched off:
Press the key “TIMER ON/OFF“ (24). Press the keys “UP“ ( ) (higher) or “DOWN“
( ) (lower) (21), to program the time after which the air-conditioner is to switch
itself on automatically. Press the time key (24) again to cancel the timer setting.
The air-conditioner is switched on:
Press the key “TIMER ON/OFF“ (24). Pres the keys “UP“ ( ) (higher) or “DOWN“
( ) (lower) (21) to set the timeframe after which the air-conditioner is to switch off
automatically. Press the time key (24) again to cancel the timer setting.
7. Night set-up SLEEP
The “SLEEP“ function is for an automatic night set-up. Switch the air-conditioner on
as described in the section “Operating mode COOL”. Press the “SLEEP“ key (26).
After one hour’s running time the programmed temperature rises automatically by 1
°C and after a further hour it rises again by 1°C. After seven hours total running-time
the air-conditioner switches itself off automatically. To deactivate the “SLEEP“
function, press the “SLEEP“ key (26) again, or press the power key (15).
8. Panning the air-outflow grating
The airflow direction of the horizontal grating (3) can be adjusted manually. Take
hold of the grating and move the slats to the desired position. The position of the
vertical grating
must only be changed when the automatic panning function for the
vertical grating is switched off .
Press “SWING“ key (23). The vertical air-outflow grating (3) pans automatically
from left to right. Press the SWING key again to stop the panning.
Do not try to
adjust the vertical grating manually, as this could damage the motor.
