The most suitable temperature for the room during the summer 
varies from 75°F to 81°F (24 to 27°C). You are recommended, 
however, not to set a temperature much below the outdoor 
temperature
DEHUMIDIFYING MODE 
Ideal to reduce room humidity (spring and autumn, damp rooms, 
rainy periods, etc). In dehumidifying mode, the appliance MUST 
be set-up in the same way as for air conditioning, with the air 
exhaust hose attached to enable the moisture to be discharged 
outside. When the dehumidifying mode is selected, the light (P) 
comes on and    appears on the display.
At the same time, the AUTO fan light (N) comes on.
In this mode, fan speed is selected automatically by the appliance 
and cannot be set manually.  
FAN MODE
The unit operates without cooling or dehumidifying.  This mode 
provides ventilation only. When using the appliance in this 
mode, the air exhaust hose does not need to be connected. 
Adjust fan speed by pressing the  “FAN” button (C) as described 
for the air-conditioning mode. In this mode, AUTO speed cannot 
be selected. The fan speed selected will be displayed.
SELF-DIAGNOSIS
The appliance has a self diagnosis system to identify a number 
of malfunctions. 
Error messages are displayed on the appliance display:

The appliance is fitted with 
a frost protection device to 
avoid excessive formation of 
ice on internal components. 
The appliance starts up 
again automatically when 
the defrosting process is 
completed.
  PROBE FAILURE

If this is displayed, contact 
our toll free number.

“End of season operations”.
SETTING THE TIMER
The timer can be used to delay appliance start up or shutdown. 
This avoids wasting electricity by not operating the appliance 
when it is not needed.
How to program delayed start up
•  Plug the appliance into an outlet and press the ON/STAND-
BY button (A), then select the desired operating mode and
other settings (temperature, fan speed, etc).
•  Press  the  ON/STAND-BY  button  (A)  again: The  appliance
switches to stand-by mode (the two central segments are 
displayed).
•  Press the TIMER button (D). The last timer setting or the
preset value 6.0 flashes on the display.
•  Use the + (E) or - (F) buttons to set the number of hours
delay before the appliance comes on.  During the first ten 
hours, you can select half hour intervals.  For times greater 
than ten hours, one hour intervals can be selected. If the 
+ (E) or - (F) buttons are pressed for more than 2 seconds, 
the time runs rapidly up to a maximum of 24 hours. Press 
the timer button again within a few seconds to confirm 
the setting. If the setting is not confirmed within a few 
seconds, the display resets to Stand-by. With the timer 
activated, the countdown before the programmed start 
up time is displayed and the light (H) flashes. To cancel the 
timer programming, press the timer button (D) again.
How to program delayed shutdown
•  Delayed shutdown can be programmed in any operating
mode (air conditioning/dehumidifying/fan).
•  Press the TIMER button (D). The last timer setting or the
preset value 6.0 flashes on the display.
•  Use the + (E) or - (F) button to set the number of hours
delay before the appliance goes off.
 
During the first ten hours, you can select half hour intervals. 
For times greater than ten hours, one hour intervals can be 
selected. If the + (E) or - (F) buttons are pressed for more 
than 2 seconds, the time runs rapidly up to a maximum 
of 24 hours. Press the timer button again within a few 
seconds to confirm the setting.
 
When the timer is set, the light (H) flashes. 
 
At the set time, the air conditioner shuts down and remains 
in stand-by.
 
To cancel the timer programming, press the timer button 
(D) again.
MODELS WITH REMOTE CONTROL
