GENERAL OPERATING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
•
This appliance is a portable air conditioner designed for domestic use.
•
Only use this air-conditioner as described in this manual.
•
Ensure that the required voltage and frequency (220-240 V/50 Hz) match the available power source.
•
Ensure that the electricity system is able to deliver the operating current required by the air conditioner, in addition to that
normally absorbed by other appliances (household appliances, lighting system, etc.). Please refer to the maximum power
input data indicated on the air conditioner's data plate.
•
Connection to the electricity grid must take place in accordance with current installation standards.
•
Ensure that the automatic switches and system protection valves are able to withstand a start-up current of 5A (normally
for less than 1 second).
•
The system socket must always be fitted with an efficient earth connection.
•
Make sure that the plug is fully inserted. Do not use multiple adapters. Do not touch the plug with wet hands. Make sure
that the plug is clean.
•
Do not use the plug as a means by which to start/stop the air conditioner: use the ON/OFF button on the remote control
or on the control panel.
•
Do not install the air conditioner in rooms where it may receive water splashes (e.g. laundry rooms).
•
This air conditioner can be used by children of 8 years of age or older, and by persons with reduced physical, sensory
and mental abilities or who lack the necessary know-how and experience to operate it, if under the supervision or
instruction of a person responsible for their safety, so that they are fully aware of the attendant risks.
•
Do not allow the unit to be cleaned or serviced by unsupervised children.
•
Before moving or cleaning the device, ensure that it is unplugged from the socket.
•
Do not move the air conditioner while it is operating; first turn the appliance off, check for any condensate build-up and
empty it if necessary.
•
To turn the appliance off, set the remote control to OFF and remove the plug from the socket. Pull on the plug only. Do
not pull the cord.
•
Do not use the appliance if the cord or plug are damaged.
If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by the manufacturer, dealer or a similarly qualified person so as to avoid any safety risks.
PRECAUTION!
•
Do not insert any objects into the air conditioner: this is very dangerous as the fan rotates at high speed.
•
Ensure that air circulates freely around the unit. Do not cover the air intake and delivery grilles with drapes or
other items.
WARNING!
•
The air conditioner must be positioned
at least 50 cm
away from the wall or other obstacles, on a flat and stable surface
so as to avoid water leakages.
•
The air conditioner is equipped with a compressor overload protection system, whereby the compressor only
starts once 3 minutes have elapsed from its previous stoppage.
•
Please wait at least 3 minutes before starting the unit. This helps to prevent the compressor from being
damaged.
WARNING!
In the event of an anomaly, switch the appliance off and unplug from the socket. Do not dismantle or attempt to
repair or modify the product. In the event of a malfunction, contact the after-sales service centre directly.
WARNING!
•
Do not expose the air conditioner to direct sunlight as this may alter the colour of the materials; in addition,
possible overheating of the product may activate the protection mechanism, causing it to switch off.
•
Do not use insecticides, oils, detergents or spray paints near the appliance; do not use aggressive chemical
detergents to clean the casing as this may damage the finish and colour.
•
Close all open windows to maximise air conditioning efficiency.
The manufacturer shall not be held liable if the relevant safety and accident prevention rules are not observed.
