• The outlet is a 3-hole grounded outlet. If this is not the case, you must choose another outlet. Failure to follow these important safety instructions absolves the manufacturer of all liability.

USE

AIR CONDITIONING WITHOUT INSTALLATION

For optimal results, set up in a double-hung window:

• 1) Place the bracket in the window sill, extend the bracket fully within the window frame, fix the bracket by using the pin, then lower the window onto the bracket. (Should the window bracket be too large for the window. The plastic can be cut with a saw by a qualified professional.)
• 2) Screw the hose adaptor B3 to the hose’s end B2.
• 3) Fit the air exhaust hose in the housing at the back of the appliance. Insert it as shown in Figure 1.
• 4) Connect the window outlet B7 to the other end of the exhaust hose.
• 5) Insert the window outlet end of the exhaust hose into the slot of the window bracket (fig. 2).

Other set-up methods:

• Thanks to the locking pins, it’s possible to use the window bracket also for sliding windows. Position the hole of the bracket so to allow a correct installation of the exhaust hose (see figure 3).
• If you have a casement window (figure 4) follow steps 2 & 3 and place the window outlet B7 outside the window to exhaust the hot air.

SEMI-PERMANENT INSTALLATION

• If required, your appliance can also be installed semi-permanently (Fig. 5).

Proceed as follows:

• Drill a hole ø 5,25 inches (134 mm) in an outside wall or through a window pane. Respect the dimensions and height of the hole given in figure 6 and 7.

As special tools are required for installation, we suggest you have the appliance installed by specialized personnel.

• Fit the wall flange B1 into the hole.
• Fit the air exhaust hose B2 in the relevant housing located on the rear side of the appliance. (fig. 1).
• Fit the end of the hose B2 to the wall flange B1 as shown in fig. 7.
• When the hose B2 is not connected, the drilled hole can be closed with the flange cap B1.
• NOTE: When installing the air conditioner semi-permanently, you should leave a door slightly open no more as 1/2“ (1 cm) to guarantee correct ventilation and room pressure.
• NOTE: Keep the air hoses as short and free of curves as possible to avoid constrictions.

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 conditioned. When installing the air conditioner semi-permanently, you should leave a door slightly open (as little as 0.39 inch (or 1 cm) 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 partially closing curtains and/or blinds to make the appliance much more economical to run

CLEANING

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 conditioner with water.
• Precautions
• Never use petrol, alcohol or solvents to clean the appliance. Never spray insecticide liquids or similar.

CLEANING THE BIO SILVER AIR FILTER

• If the filter is dirty, air circulation is compromised and the efficiency of the dehumidifying and air purifying functions decreases.
• It is therefore good practice to clean the filter at regular intervals. The frequency depends on the duration and conditions of operation.
• If the unit is used constantly or systematically, you are recommended to clean the filter once a week. The filter is housed in the intake grille. To clean the filter, extract as shown in Fig. 12
• Use a vacuum cleaner to remove the dust collected on the filter. If it is very dirty, immerse it in warm water and rinse it a number of times. The water should never be hotter than 104°F.
• After washing the filter, allow it to dry completely before repositioning it. The BioSilver filter helps capture dust and pollen and reduces the growth of bacteria and mold on the filter.

END OF SEASON OPERATIONS

• To drain all water from the circuit, remove the external cap by unscrewing it in the anticlockwise direction, then, remove the internal cap from the drainage on the back of the appliance and allow the water to drain out into a basin (fig. 13).
• In order to properly store the appliance at the end of the season, we suggest you cover it with the supplied end of season dust cover B9, and you put the accessories in the relevant end of season accessories bag B10.
