To ensure that the unit operates effectively, place the flexible exhaust hose at an upwards incline and do not bend it too sharply. Do not use the unit if it is lying on its side or in any manner deviating from these instructions. Do not insert any foreign objects into the air intake or outlet openings. Do not place any heavy or warm objects on top of the unit. 4 ◊ Do not set up or operate the unit in rooms containing explosion hazards. ◊ Do not set up or operate the unit if the atmosphere is contaminated by oil, sulfur or salt. ◊ Do not expose the unit to direct streams of water. ◊ Protect all cables from damage. ◊ Make sure that all extension cables are suitable in terms of capacity, length and intended use. G When the unit is in operation, do not switch it off directly at the power supply by unplugging it as this may damage the control circuit and invalidate the warranty. Always switch the unit on and off at the control panel. Unit Description How is the air cooled in the room? The unit is operated with electric power and has been designed for universal, fully-automatic, smooth operation. Its compact design lets it be easily transported and used almost anywhere. The device works on the principle of compression. It is equipped with a closed-loop cooling system, a quiet radial fan which requires little maintenance and a power cable with plug. The fully-automatic control, integrated thermostat, three-setting fan and water tank with integrated overflow safety mechanism ensure proper operation of the unit. This portable air conditioner meets the basic safety and consumer health requirements outlined in the relevant EU regulations. It is safe and easy to operate. Unit equipment In a closed-loop cycle, there is a special medium called a refrigerant. This refrigerant transports the excess heat out of the room to be cooled. At the beginning of the cycle, this refrigerant, in the form of steam, is sucked in by the compressor 2, compressed and, as a result, becomes very hot. The heated refrigerant is routed to an exchanger mechanism, the condensator 3. In the condensator, the refrigerant steam is cooled by the room in the air until it condenses. The heat is expelled over the flexible exhaust hose to the outside by a fan. 5. In an injection nozzle, the flow control mechanism 4, the pressure on the air is decreased and it is routed to another exchanger mechanism, the evaporator 1. Cold air is actually generated in the evaporator. The liquid refrigerant evaporates, the heat required for this process is withdrawn from the air in the room that the fan 6 guides via the evaporator. The cooled air is resupplied to the room and the cycle begins again for the refrigerant. The temperature of the room is gradually lowered through this cyclical process. Because the cold cycle is a closed-loop, no refrigerant is lost or consumed. Adjustment lever Control panel Diagram of process Handle cold air warm air Air outlet grill room air Water tank room air 2 6 5 3 1 4 Transport wheels 7 Unit functionality A portable air conditioner works in principle like a refrigerator. In a refrigerator, heat is withdrawn from the food and drinks stored inside it. This heat is expelled to the surrounding air by means of a heat-exchanger on the back of the refrigerator. The portable air conditioner cools the air in the room by withdrawing heat from it. The heat absorbed is expelled to the outside and the cooled air is resupplied to the room where the unit is in operation. 8 Condensation During cooling mode, the air that has been sucked in from the room is cooled until it falls below the dew point and the steam contained in it condenses on the evaporator surface. The condensed water drips into the condensation trap 7 attached under the evaporator and, from there, enters the water tank 8. The water tank must be emptied from time to time. 5 Operation 3 Display Normally, the target temperature is displayed here. If the thermo control button or the TIMER button is pressed, the display switches for 5 seconds to the corresponding setting. The unit may only be put into operation once it has been installed following all instructions contained in the “Safety Hints” and “Installation Instructions” sections. G The unit is only guaranteed to operate at room temperatures of 20 - 35 °C. 4 "THERMO CONTROL" button (temperature selection) After the unit has been connected to the power supply and manually switched on, the target temperature is automatically set to 25°C. This can be changed using the arrow buttons 4 in 1°C increments between 20 and 30°C: Control panel Left arrow button = Higher target temperature Right arrow button = Lower target temperature 12 This is shown in display 3. 1 5 "TIMER" button (timer clock) The timer can be preset for a maximum of 24 hours.

It is still important to check your unit carefully to make sure there is nothing wrong with it before setting it up. Document any damage on the delivery bill and inform your delivery company and your contract partner. No guarantees can be provided for subsequent claims. 5 MIN. Expelling the warm air During cooling mode, the unit generates warm air. This air must be expelled from the room being cooled to retain the cooling effect. Place the exhaust hose in front of the output opening on the back side of the unit. After unpacking the device, place it on its transport wheels and let it stand for a minimum of 5 min. before switching it on. Slide the deflector piece from the top down into the notches on the side until it clicks into place. Place the device securely on a level and firm surface. An uneven surface can cause vibrations and disruptive noises. To ensure that the unit operates effectively, place the flexible exhaust hose at an upwards incline and do not bend it too sharply. Insert the power plug into a correctly fused plug socket. 230V/1~ 50 Hz / 10 A fuse. Different ways of expelling air Make sure that extension cables are suitable in terms of capacity, length and intended use. G Make sure that the water tank has been inserted correctly. The unit will not start if the tank has not been inserted or has been improperly inserted. When the device is switched on, the red "FULL TANK" malfunction light lights up and an alarm goes off. With a flat nozzle. The flat nozzle supplied can be used in two different ways. 1. It is possible to guide the flat nozzle through the open window and secure it firmly using straps and suction devices. Ensure that the dust filter has been properly installed. Never use the unit without the dust filter installed! Without a dust filter, the plate fins of the evaporators become dirty and performance of the unit suffers. 2. The flat nozzle can also be hung through the partially opened window. With a fix connection to the exhaust hose (wall lead-through). Recommendations for optimum unit operation. The hose supplied is firmly connected to a wall lead-through. Lead-through kits can be purchased as accessories. In case of direct sunlight, make sure to close all curtains and blinds. Keep doors and windows closed during operation. 8 The exhaust hose must always be placed at an upwards incline in the direction of the flow of air! G The exhaust hose may not be extended. Water Tank 8. Reinsert the water tank properly. The integrated water tank must be emptied from time to time. FULL TANK 9. Clean the dust filter and the unit housing. When the water tank is full, an alarm goes on and the "FULL TANK" display blinks. The unit switches off automatically. 10. Follow the service instructions. 11. Store the unit in an upright position away from dust and direct sun light. 12. Protect the unit from dust with a plastic cover. 1. Wait a few minutes before removing the water tank. In our experience, a little bit of water always drips out of the unit. 2. Carefully remove the full water tank. 3. The contents of the tank can be poured down a drain. Cleaning the Dust Filter 4. We recommend cleaning the tank with a clean cloth. The device is equipped with a dust filter. It can be opened on the left side and removed. ◊ Remove the dust filter. ◊ If the dust filter is only slightly dirty, clean off the dust, for example, with a vacuum cleaner. ◊ If the dust filter is very dirty it is to be washed with a lukewarm soap solution (max. 40° C) and then to be rinsed with clear water. ◊ Make sure that the dust filter is completely dry and undamaged before you reinstall it. In case of extreme dirt the dust filter is to be replaced. Unit Shut Down 1. Switch the unit off with the "On / Off" button. 2. Unplug the power cable after pressing the "On / Off" button. This will prevent the device’s electronic system from being damaged. Prior to longer idle periods 1. Let the device run for approximately 2 hours in ventilation mode (FAN) to dry the surface of the evaporator plate fins. This will prevent unpleasant odors when the device is put back into operation. 2. Switch the unit off with the "On / Off" button. 3. Remove the plug from the plug socket and secure the power cable on the holder. 4. Make sure that the cable is not bent and that there are no kinks. 5. Empty the water tank. G Maintenance and Service G The power cable must be unplugged before any work is done on the unit! Cleaning the plastic housing: For cleaning, please use only a clean, soft, slightly damp cloth to carefully wipe off the housing. Please adhere to the following instructions: 6. Remove the remaining water via the tube to the left in the opening for the water tank. ◊ 7. Make sure to replace the sealing cap ◊ on the tube. If the sealing cap is not replaced, water may leak out. Never use the unit without the dust filter installed! Without a dust filter, the evaporator’s plate fins become dirty and the performance of the unit suffers. Never use chemical cleaning agents or polish to clean the device. These can corrode the surface. Make sure that moisture does not enter the device. Water and other liquids may never be sprayed directly into the unit. This can damage the electrical system. 9 Environment and Recycling Important information about recycling! Only authorized personnel is allowed to come into contact with the cold cycle. This ensures that refrigerant does not escape into the environment when the unit is being repaired. G The refrigerant in use is a safety refrigerant. This means that, should damage occur, the quantities released will not cause injury to the respiratory systems of people and animals. Do not touch the liquid refrigerant as it can freeze the skin! Both the refrigerant and the system parts are subject to special requirements for disposal.
