Setting up your portable air conditioner TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE UNIT: NEVER TRANSPORT OR TURN THE APPLIANCE UPSIDE DOWN OR ON ITS SIDE. IF THIS OCCURS, WAIT 6 HOURS BEFORE TURNING THE APPLIANCE ON, 24 HOURS IS RECOMMENDED. After the unit has GB been on its side, oil needs to return to the compressor to ensure proper function. Without allow- ing the unit this time (6-24 hours) the unit may function for only a short time, and then the com- pressor will break down from lack of oil. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS Before plugging the appliance into the outlet, check that: • The outlet's power supply corresponds to the value indicated on the rating label on the back of the appliance; • The outlet and electrical circuit are adequate for the appliance; • The outlet is a 3-hole grounded outlet . If this is not the case, you must choose another outlet. Failure to follow these important safety instructions absolves the manufacturer of all liability. If it becomes necessary, the power cable must be replaced by a qualified professional only. The instructions below will enable you to prepare your air conditioner for operation as efficiently as possible. Before use, make sure the air intake and outlet grilles are unobstructed. AIR CONDITIONING WITHOUT INSTALLATION NOTE: Keep the air hoses as short and free of curves as possible to avoid constrictions. FOR OPTIMAL RESULTS SET-UP IN A DOUBLE-HUNG WINDOW: 1) Place the bracket in the window sill, extend the bracket fully within the window frame, fix the bracket by using the pin then lower the window onto the bracket. (Should the window bracket be too large for the window. The plastic can be cut with a saw by a qualified professional.) 2) Fit the air exhaust hose in the housing at the back of the appliance. Insert it as shown in figure A. 3) Connect the window outlet (12) to the other end of the exhaust hose. Other set-up methods: • Thanks to the locking pins, it's possible to use the window bracket also for sliding windows. Position the hole of the bracket so to allow a correct installation of the exhaust hose (see figure C). C • If you have a casement window (figure D) follow steps 2 & 3 and place the window outlet (12) outside the window to exhaust the hot air. A 4) Insert the window outlet end of the exhau- st hose into the slot of the window bracket (fig. B).
