Ideal for reducing the humidity in a room without lowering or raising the temperature (spring or autumn, damp rooms, rainy spells, etc). When the dehumidifying mode is selected, the light ( P ) comes on. At the same time, the “ MIN ” fan speed light

( M ) comes on. In this mode, other speeds cannot be selected.

In dehumidifying mode, the appliance MUST be set-up in the same way as for air conditioning, with the air exhaust hose 12 attached.

PROGRAMMING THE TIMER

The timer can be used to delay appliance start up or shut down.

This avoids wasting electricity by optimising operating periods.

The indicator light ( H ) flashes until the appliance starts up.

You can set the appliance to come on with a delay of up to 12 hours. To cancel the timer programme, press the timer button

( D ) again. Light ( H ) stops flashing.

How to programme delayed shut down

• Delayed shut down can be programmed in any operating mode (air conditioning/fan/dehumidifying).

• Press the timer button ( D ). The timer light “ H ” flashes.

• Use the + ( E ) or - ( F ) buttons to set the number of hours delay before the appliance goes off.

The time increases or decreases in steps of one hour.

The light ( H ) flashes until the appliance turns off as programmed. At the set time, the air conditioner shuts down and remains in standby. To cancel the timer programme, press the timer button ( D ) again. Light ( H ) stops flashing.

The most suitable indoor 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.

FAN MODE

Adjust fan speed by pressing the FAN button ( C ) as described for the air-conditioning mode.

Remember that the higher the speed, the more air is filtered.

If you select “ MIN ” speed, less air is filtered but the appliance is also less noisy.
