Maximum air flow: for maximum performance.
Auto: the appliance automatically chooses the best air flow based on the temperature selected and the environmental conditions.
DEHUMIDIFYING MODE
This is ideal for reducing humidity in the room (spring and autumn, damp rooms, rainy periods, etc). For this type of use, the appliance must be set up same as in the air conditioner mode. That is, the air exhaust hose (B2) must be fitted to the appliance to allow the humidity to be discharged outside. To correctly set this mode: · Touch repeatedly the MODE key (C2) until the dehumidifying symbol appears. · The appliance will automatically choose the best air flow.
FAN MODE
When using this mode, the air exhaust hose (B2) does not need to be attached to the appliance. To correctly set this mode: · Touch repeatedly the MODE
(C2) key until the fan symbol appears. · Select the desired air flow by touching button (C5).
The air flows available are:
Minimum air flow: when quiet operation is desired.
Medium air flow: when the noise level needs to be low but with a good comfort level.
Maximum air flow: for maximum performance.

TIPS FOR CORRECT USE
To ensure optimal results from your air conditioner, follow these · recommendations: · Close the windows and doors where air conditioner will
be used. When installing the air conditioner semi-permanently, you should leave a door slightly open (as little as 1/2 inch – 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. · Never use the appliance outdoors. · Make sure there are no heat sources in the room. · Make sure the air conditioner is standing on a level surface. · Never rest objects of any kind on the air conditioner.

Never obstruct the air intake or air outlet flap (see figure below).
do not cover the appliance

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning or maintenance, turn the appliance off by using the button, then unplug from the outlet. For safety reasons, never wash the appliance using a water jet. Clean the air filter/filters regularly.

CLEANING THE CABINET You should clean the appliance with a slightly damp cloth then dry with a dry cloth. Attention! Never use petrol, alcohol or solvents to clean the appliance. Never spray insecticide liquids or similar.
CLEANING THE AIR FILTER If the filter is dirty, air circulation is compromised and the efficiency of the appliance 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, remove as shown in fig. 8.

When the appliance is empty, replace the caps. Clean the filter and dry thoroughly before putting back. In order to properly storage 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 (B8).
