IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read through all the instructions before starting to use the air-conditioner. Keep this
manual in a safe place for future reference.
1. Supervision is needed when the air-conditioner is used anywhere near children.
2. Do not use the air-conditioner outdoors.
3. Stand the air-conditioner upright on a firm, even surface. Make sure it is standing
securely so that it cannot tilt or fall over. Water can damage furniture and floor-
coverings.
Unwind the power cord completely. An incompletely unwound power cord can
lead to overheating and cause a fire.
5. Do not use an extension cord or a variable speed controller. This can lead to
overheating, fire or electric shock.
6. Only connect the air-conditioner with a single-phase earthed power socket with
the current stipulated on the type plate.
7. Switch the air-conditioner off and always pull the power plug out of the power
socket when the air-conditioner is not in use, or when it is moved, handled or
cleaned. Do not tug at the cord when disconnecting the power plug.
8. Do not point the air-outflow opening (2) directly at people, walls, plants or
objects.
9. The air-conditioner functions best at room temperatures of up to 35°C.
10. Do not use the air-conditioner near easily inflammable gases or materials, near
an open fire, or in a location where oil or water could splash. Do not spray insectici-
des or similar substances onto the air-conditioner. Make sure that the air-conditioner
is not exposed to direct sunshine. Do not operate the air-conditioner in a hothouse
or a laundry, or near a bathtub, a shower or a swimming-pool.
11. The air-conditioner is intended only for domestic use indoors, in accordance
with the user manual, and is not intended for industrial use.
12. Before starting to operate the air-conditioner, make sure that the air-inflow
grating (7) and air-outflow grating (2) are open. The air-conditioner must not be
positioned behind curtains or drapes, or behind other objects or obstacles which
could hinder the air circulation. Make sure that no objects can get into the air-inflow
grating (7) and air-outflow grating (2), as this can lead to overheating, fire or electric
shock.
13. Do not remove the water tank (5) when the air-conditioner is in use.
14. Do not pull the power plug out of the power socket when the air-conditioner is in
use. First press the power key (15) to the OFF position.
15. After switching the air-conditioner off, wait for 3-5 minutes before switching it
back on again, as the compressor could otherwise be damaged.
16. Do not immerse the air-conditioner in water or any other liquids and do not pour
water or any other liquids over the unit or into the air-inflow grating (7) or air-
outflow grating (2).
17. Clean the air-conditioner regularly by following the cleaning instructions.
18. When you take the air filter (9) out of the air-conditioner, make sure that you do
not touch any metal parts. These are sharp-edged and could cause injury. Do not
use the air-conditioner when the air filter (9) and air-inflow grating (8) are not
installed.
19. If the power cord of the air-conditioner is damaged, it must be repaired by a
workshop that is approved by the manufacturer, as special tools are needed.
20. Always transport the air-conditioner in an upright position. If this is not possible,
lay the unit on its side and stand it upright as soon as you reach your destination.
Wait at least 4 hours after transporting the unit before starting to use it.
21. Do not operate the air-conditioner if it is damaged or looks as if it might be
damaged, or if it is not working properly. Pull the power plug out of the power
socket.

FIRST TIME OF USE
1. Read through all the instructions before starting to use the air-conditioner.
2. Unpack the air-conditioner and power cord. Remove all the packaging materials
and dispose of them for recycling.
3. Stand the air-conditioner on a firm, even surface. Water can damage furniture and
floor coverings. 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 (Fig. 1). Make sure that the exhaust-air tube (11) is firmly fitted and
directed to outdoors for the operating mode COOL.
EMPTYING THE WATER
The air-conditioner offers two ways of emptying the water.
Water tank 5 Litres
1. When the water tank (5) is full, the dehumidifying operation is stopped
automatically, but the fan keeps running for about 2 more minutes. The LED display
shows „PI", there is an alarm signal and the water tank control light (16) flashes
continuously.
2. Wait for about 30 minutes before removing the water tank (5) from the water
tank compartment, so that residual water can drain out of the unit.
3. Take the water tank (5) out carefully and empty the water.
4. Now push the water tank (5) back into position. Make sure that it is pushed in
completely. The water tank control light (16) goes off.
5. If the control light (16) does not go off, take the water tank (5) out again.
6. Check that the protective cover with swimmer (6) is installed correctly.
7. The protective cover with swimmer (6) must not be removed, because
otherwise the automatic interruption of the dehumidifying operation in the
operating modes "COOL" and "DRY" are not guaranteed. Overflowing water can
damage furniture and floor coverings or cause an electric shock.
8. Replace the water tank (5) as described in Point 4.
9. The air-conditioner resumes operating automatically about 3 minutes after the
water tank has been put into position.
External water emptying through a water tube
If you wish to install external water emptying, please follow these instructions:
1. Check that the air-conditioner is switched off. Pull the power plug out of the
power socket.
2. Remove the rubber stopper (31) from the front of the water tank (5).
3. Push a water tube of 12 mm inside diameter onto the opening (32) in the water
tank. You can obtain such a tube at a DIY or similar store. Push the water tank (5)
back in completely and put the open end of the water tube into an external container,
e.g. a bucket.
4. Make sure that the water tube is always lower than its attachment point on the
unit, so that the water can flow out freely and safely through the tube.
5. Check the secure and leak-proof fit of the water tube regularly and make sure that
it is not buckled or blocked. Empty the external container regularly. Overflowing
water can damage objects and floor coverings or cause an electric shock.
