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 (electrical appliances, lighting system, etc.). Please refer to the maximum power
input data shown 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 6A (normally
for less than 1 second).
• The power socket must always include an efficient earth connection.
• Make sure that the plug is properly inserted into the socket. 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 for starting/stopping the air conditioner: use the ON/OFF button on the remote control or control
panel instead.
• Do not install the air conditioner in rooms potentially subject to water sprays (e.g. laundries).
• This air conditioner can be used by children of 8 years or older and by persons with reduced physical, sensory and
mental abilities, or lacking the necessary experience and knowledge, provided they are supervised or instructed on its
use by 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 appliance, ensure that it is unplugged from the socket.
• Do not move the air conditioner while it is operating; first turn the appliance off, then check and remove any condensate
which may have formed.
• 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. Contact a service centre to replace a damaged power
cord, so as to avoid any safety risks.
PRECAUTION!
• Do not insert any objects into the air conditioner: this is very dangerous as the fan turns at high speed.
• Ensure that air circulates freely around the unit. Do not cover the air intake and delivery grilles with drapes or
any other means.
WARNING!
• The air conditioner must be positioned at least 50 cm from the wall or any other obstacles, on a flat and stable surface
so as to avoid water leaks.
• The air conditioner is fitted with a system to protect the compressor from overload. This means that the
compressor only starts 3 minutes after its previous stoppage.
• Please wait at least 3 minutes before starting the unit. This helps 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 service centre directly.
WARNING!
• Do not expose the air conditioner to direct sunlight, as the colour of the materials may change; moreover, the
appliance may overheat causing the protection mechanism to intervene and switch the appliance off.
• Do not use insecticides, oils, detergents or spray paints near the appliance; do not use aggressive chemical
detergents to clean the casing: this may damage the finish and colour.
• Close all open windows to maximise air conditioning efficiency.
The manufacturer will not be held liable if safety and accident prevention rules are not observed.
