The manufactures cannot be held responsible for any damages due to failure in following normal safety procedures. Replacement of the power cable must be carried out by qualified personnel. 10 Oper a tion pac160 GB 25-01-2003 10:19 Pagina 11 Oper a tion pac160 GB 25-01-2003 10:19 Pagina 11 SWITCHING THE APPLIANCE ON Connect the appliance to the mains supply. On the display two lines will appear indicating Stand-by mode Press the ON/OFF button (A) and then the MODE button until the relevant function indicator appears viz.: AIR-CONDITIONING FUNCTION This function is ideal in hot, humid weather conditions when the atmosphere requires to be cooled and dehumidified. To ensure proper function of the appliance, after selecting the air- conditioning function, press buttons + (F) or – (G) until the desired temperature appears on the display. The temperatures most suited to the atmosphere in summer vary between (24-27°C) 75°-80°F. We do not advise selection of temperatures much lower than those outside. Select fan speed by pressing the “FAN” button (Q) until the fan speed indicator appears: MAX (P): if you want the maximum power of the air-conditioner to reach the desired temperature as quickly as possible. MIN (O): if you want to reduce the level of noise and still maintain a good level of comfort. SILENT (N):when minimum noise is required, AUTO (M):if you prefer the appliance to select the fan speed for the temperature selected on the display panel. DEHUMIDIFYING FUNCTION This function is ideal for reducing humidity in the atmosphere while avoiding increases or decreases in temperature (in between seasons, damp places, wet spells of weather). When you select the dehumidifying function, the letters “ ” will appear on the display. The water is collected in the tank at the rear of the appliance. When the tank is full, the appliance will stop working and the display will show the letters “ ” (Full Tank); the tank must then be emptied. When it is re-inserted, the appliance will re-start automatically. N.B. remove the air exhaust hose (14). Indicator C : air-conditioning Indicator D : dehumidifying Indicator E : ventilation 77 In the air-conditioning function, the unit employs an exclusive con- densation recycling system to dispose of excess moisture. In normal conditions, condensation is disposed of automatically. When the humidity is particularly high, an excess of condensation may built up in the TANK . When this happens, the display will show the letters “ “ (Full Tank); indicating that the TANK should be emptied. Whe- never conditions of high humidity make the problem recurrent, you may discharge the excess water directly into a drain, using the rub- ber tube supplied. The tube should be inserted into the hole provi- ded, after having removed the rubber stopper. (see figure). Make sure the TANK is put back correctly otherwise the display will continue to show the letters “ ” 9 11 ENGLISH Operation pac160 GB 25-01-2003 10:19 Pagina 12 Operation pac160 GB 25-01-2003 10:19 Pagina 12 Once the dehumidifying function has been selected, the fan speed cannot be changed. The appliance will automatically select the correct fan mode. “Silent” speed VENTILATION Adjust the fan speed by pressing the “FAN” (Q) button, as illustrated in the air conditioning function. “Min” Bear in mind that the higher the speed, the greater the volume of speed air filtered; by selecting the “Silent” speed, less air is filtered, but the noise level is low. “AUTO” function cannot be selected in this mode. The display will show the fan speed selected. “Max” speed PROGRAMMING THE TIMER The timer programs the appliance to switch on and switch off. This will save electrical energy by optimizing the operating times. The timer is set using the buttons + (F) or – (G); these increase and decrease by one hour at a time, but if pressed for more than 2 seconds will automatically change the time more quickly, up to a maximum of 24 hours. How to set the delayed start function • Connect the appliance to the mains supply and press ON/OFF button: next, select the required operating mode (temperature, fan speed etc.) •Press the ON/OFF button again: the appliance will go into stand-by mode. •Press the timer button (I): on the display the two central segments will start to flash. • Set the number of hours after which the appliance should switch on, by pressing the + or – but...
