To install, proceed as follows: · Make a hole in a wall communicating with the outside or through the pane of a window. Respect the height and dimensions given in figure D
When the hose 17 is not attached, close the hole with the bung on the flange 16 . NOTE: When the unit is installed semi-permanently, we recommend leaving a door slightly open (1 cm is enough) to ensure an adequate exchange of air.
DEHUMIDIFICATION (mod. F130 eco only)
Position the appliance in the room without inserting the hose; in this way the dehumidified air will exhaust directly into the room
in a window pane in the wood sill of a window in the wall: for optimum results, insulate the section of the wall with suitable insulating material.

Turning on and Selecting functions
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION Before plugging in check that: · the mains supply corresponds to the value shown in the specifications table; · the socket and the mains lead correspond to the power requirements of the appliance; · the socket is suited to the plug 10 , otherwise have the socket replaced; · the socket is properly grounded. 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.
AS AIR CONDITIONER With the unit turned off, the function selector 11 is in the "O" position. Rotate the function selector dial clockwise: · Place the large star symbol in line with the reference mark to operate the unit in air conditioning mode at maximum fan speed. · Place the small star symbol in line with the reference mark to operate the unit in air conditioning mode at minimum fan speed. Now set the required temperature by rotating the room thermostat dial Note The temperature is not expressed in degrees. We therefore recommend rotating the room thermostat dial 15 to the maximum cool position. When room temperature has reached the required level, rotate the thermostat dial SLOWLY clockwise until the thermostat is activated, turning the unit off. This programs the unit to the precise level of comfort required which will then be automatically maintained by the thermostat with considerable energy savings. When regulating the thermostat, the air conditioning function is temporarily interrupted and the unit continues to operate in fan/ventilation only mode. In this way, the appliance keeps the air temperature in the room homogeneous. Note: cool air is discharged from grill after a delay of three to five minutes.
