We recommend this air conditioner to be installed properly by qualified installation technicians in accordance with the installation instructions provided with the unit.

USInG thE REMotE ContRoL UnIt

hoW to InStALL BAttERIES l

Remove trhe lid in the rear part of the remote control unit and check the settings of the four microswitches as shown below:

PLEASE, SEE thE EnD oF thIS MAnUAL FoR

DEtAILS l l l l

WARnInG

Do not install this air conditioner where there are fumes or flammable gases, or in an extremely humid space such as a green house.

Do not install the air conditioner where excessively high heat-generating objects are placed.

Do not install the air conditioner where the atmosphere is extremely damp or humid (e.g. greenhouse or laundry) it could be wetted by drops of water (i.e. in laundries).

to protect the air conditioner from heavy corrosion, avoid installing the outdoor unit where salty sea water can splash directly onto it or in sulphurous air near a spa.

l

ELEtRICAL REQUIREMEntS

Before installation, check that the voltage of the electric supply in your home or office is the same as the voltage shown on the nameplate.

l

All wiring must conform to the local electrical codes.

Consult your dealer or a qualified electrician for details.

l l

Each unit must be properly grounded with a ground (or earth) wire or through the supply wiring.

Wiring must be done by a qualified electrician.

SAFEtY InStRUCtIonS

l

Read this booklet carefully before using this air conditioner. If you still have any difficulties or problems, consult your dealer for help.

l this air conditioner is designed to give you comfortable room conditions. Use this only for its intended purpose as described in this Instruction

Manual.

WARnInG l

Never use or store gasoline or other flammable vapor or liquid near the air conditioner. It is very dangerous.

l never install electrical equipment, which is not protected with IPX1 protection (protection against vertical water drop), under the unit.

l

The manufacturer assumes no responsabilities if the safety regulations or local codes are not observed.

CAUtIon l never use the power main switch to start or stop the air conditioner: always use the on/oFF button on the remote control unit or the selector switch on the unit.

l

Do not let children play with the air conditioner.

l

Do not cool the room too much if babies or invalids are present.

l this air conditioner is not intended for use by persons

(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the air conditioner by a person responsible for their safety.

SWITCHES l

Insert two AAA alkaline batteries of 1,5 V-DC making sure that point in the direction marked in the battery compartment.The displayed time flashes.

Press the SEL TYPE button.

Remote controller is now ready for operation. l

The batteries last average more than six months, anyway it depends on how much you use the remote control unit.

Remove the batteries if you do not use the remote control unit for more than one month.

IF YoU InStALL MoRE thAn onE InDooR

UnIt In thE SAME RooM:

It is possible to utilise only one remote control for all the units.

on the contrary, if you want to address each remote control to its unit, follow the procedure”Remote control unit/indoor unit address” (see Installation Instructions).

tEMPERAtURE SEnSoR SELECtoR l

Under normal conditions the room temperature is detected and checked by the temperature sensor placed in the remote controller (I FEEL icon displayed ).This function is designed to provide a comfortable room temperature by transmitting the temperature control command from the location next to you. When using this function, the remote, control should always be pointed at the air conditioner, therefore it should be placed in a position in which it is visible by the indoor unit (for l example, do not put it in a drawer).

It is possible to disable the remote controller room sensor pressing the I FEEL button. In this case the I

FEEL icon on the remote controller display lights off and only the sensor placed in the air conditioner becomes active.

notE the remote control unit transmits signals to the indoor unit each time you press a key and at any temperature change detected by the IFEEL sensor. In case of troubles (low batteries, remote control placed in a position not visible by the indoor unit,...) room temperature control is automatically switched to the sensor of the indoor unit. In this case, the temperature around the remote control unit may differ from the temperature detected in the air conditioner position.

oPERAtIon WIth thE REMotE ContRoL UnIt

When using the remote control unit, always point the unit transmitter head directly at the air conditioner receiver.

DEFRoStInG oF oUtDooR UnIt hEAt

EXChAnGER

When the outdoor temperature is low, frost or ice may appear on the heat exchanger coil, reducing the heating performance. When this happens, a protection function for the heat exchanger defrosting is activated. During this function operation, the fan of the indoor unit stops. Heating operation restarts after several minutes. (This interval will vary slightly depending on the room and outdoor temperature).

hEAtInG PERFoRMAnCE

A heat pump conditioner heats a room by taking heat from outside air. The heating efficiency will fall off when the outdoor temperature is very low. If enough heat is not obtained with this air conditioner, use another heating appliance in conjunction with it.

AUtoMAtIC oPERAtIon

1. Set the or selector to AUTO (symbol on the display; also the symbol or remains displayed).

3. Press the FAN selector button to the setting you want.

During Automatic Operation (+ IFEEL ON) the set temperature is understood as perceived one, then the system is automatically adjusted not only according to the air temperature, but also based on the relative humidity, according to the “humidex” index.

When this setting is selected, the air conditioner will operate automatically switching to the COOL or HEAT mode as appropriate (regardless of the symbol displayed).

The air conditioner changes the operation mode (from cool to heat or vice versa, if one of the following conditions occurs:

- ZonE A: changes if the difference between the room temperature and the temperature set on the remote control unit is at least 3°C..

- ZonE B: changes if the difference between the room temperature and the temperature set on the remote control unit is at least 1°C, one hour after the compressor stop.

ConFIGURAtIon

When the air conditioning system configuration is multisplit and there is more than one indoor unit connected, the automatic mode operates as follows:

- the first unit that switches on the system also decides the operation mode (cooling or heating) for all the other units that will be switched on after the first one;

- when the system has been switched on in cooling mode and one unit is activated in heating mode, an error will be signaled for this unit (wrong operating mode). If the same unit is switched on in “automatic” mode and the desired temperature is lower than the detected ambient temperature, the unit will operate in cooling mode, like the other units of the system; on the contrary, if the desired temperature is higher than the detected one, the unit will operate in fan mode;

- when the system has been switched on in heating mode and one unit is activated in cooling mode, an error will be signaled for this unit (wrong operating mode). If the same unit is switched on in “automatic” mode and the desired temperature is higher than the detected ambient temperature, the unit will operate in heating mode, like the other units of the system; on the contrary, if the desired temperature is lower than the detected one, the unit will operate in fan mode.

WARnInG l l l

Maintenance operations must be carried out by specially trained personnel.

For safety, be sure to turn the air conditioner off and also to disconnect the power before cleaning.

Do not pour water on the indoor unit to clean it. This will damage the internal components and cause an electric shock hazard.

CASInG AnD GRILLE (InDooR UnIt)

Clean the casing and grille of the indoor unit with a vacuum cleaner brush, or wipe them with a clean, soft cloth.

If these parts are stained, use a clean cloth moistened with a mild liquid detergent.

When cleaning the grille, be careful not to force the vanes out of place.

CAUtIon l

Never use solvents, or harsh chemicals when cleaning the indoor unit. Do not wipe the plastic casing using very hot water.

l

Some metal edges and the vanes are sharp and may cause injury if handled improperly; be especially careful when you clean these parts.

l

The internal coil and other components of the outdoor unit must be cleaned every year. Consult your dealer or service centre.
