We therefore recommend that when starting up the appliance, the thermostat be turned to maximum (Pos.“Coolest”). When the desired temperature has been reached move the thermostat slider slowly away from the maximum cold position until the appliance is switched off by operation of the thermostat. In this way the appliance has been programmed with the exact temperature degree required, which is then maintained automatically by the thermostat 10 How to operate the air conditioner PAC400 24-04-2003 16:29 Pagina 11 How to operate the air conditioner PAC400 24-04-2003 16:29 Pagina 11 (REFER TO THE CONTROL PANEL ON THE OPPOSITE PAGE) Plug the appliance into the outlet.

For safety reasons, never wash the air conditioner with water. CLEANING THE UNIT Clean your air-conditioner with a damp cloth and then wipe it with a dry cloth. Precautions: Never use gasoline, alcohol or solvents to clean this appliance. Never spray it with insecticide or similar liquids, because the paint might then peel off and the plastic portions might lose their true shape. CLEANING THE AIR FILTER • If the air filter gets dirty, it will be difficult for the air to circulate and the air-conditioner will lose much of its efficiency, thus leading to about an 8% increase in electrical consumption. For this reason, it is a good idea to clean the filter • Remove the air filter as shown below. Filter • Use a vacuum cleaner to remove the dust on the filter. If the filter is very dirty, dip it in warm water (of less than 40° C.) and rinse it several times. After having washed the filter, let it dry completely before putting it back in place. CHECKS TO MAKE AT A SEASON’S BEGINNING Check to make certain that the power cord and the electrical outlet are in perfect condition and that there is a suitable grounding system. Give strict observance to all installation norms. WORK TO BE DONE AT A SEASON’S END Turn off the air-conditioner. Clean the filter and dry it before putting it back in place. Cover the air conditioner with a plastic bag to keep the appliance from getting dusty. 12 Troubleshooting PAC400 24-04-2003 16:29 Pagina 13 Troubleshooting PAC400 24-04-2003 16:29 Pagina 13 IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG Most malfunctions are caused by a very minor and easily solved problem.
