Safety rules and recommendations for the user

• Ventilate room before operating air conditioner if there is a gas leakage from another appliance.
• Cleaning and maintenance must be carried out by specialised technical personnel. In any case
disconnect the appliance from the mains electricity supply before carrying out any cleaning or
maintenance.
• Do not pull out the plug to switch off the appliance when it is in operation, since this could create
a spark and cause a fire, etc.
• Never remain directly exposed to the flow of cold air for a long time. The direct and prolonged
exposition to cold air could be dangerous for your health. Particular care should be taken in the
rooms where there are children, old or sick people.
• If the appliance gives off smoke or there is a smell of burning, immediately cut off the power
supply and contact the Service Centre.
• Have repairs carried out only by an authorised Service Centre of the manufacturer. Incorrect
repair could expose the user to the risk of electric shock, etc. The prolonged use of the device in
such conditions could cause fire or electrocution.
• This appliance has been made for air conditioner domestic environments and must not be used
for any other purpose, such as for drying clothes, cooling food, etc.
• Always use the appliance with the air filter mounted. The use of the conditioner without air filter
could cause an excessive accumulation of dust or waste on the inner parts of the device with
possible subsequent failures.
• The user is responsible for having the appliance installed by a qualified technician, who must
check that it is earthed in accordance with current legislation and insert a thermomagnetic
circuit breaker.
• Unhook the automatic switch if you foresee not to use the device for a long time. The airflow
direction must be properly adjusted.
• Stop operation and close the window in a storm or hurricane.
• Only use the air conditioner as instructed in this booklet. These instructions are not intended
to cover every possible condition and situation. As with any electrical household appliance,
common sense and caution are therefore always recommended for installation, operation and
maintenance.
• Ensure that the appliance is disconnected from the power supply when it will remain inoperative
for a long period and before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance.
• Do not bend, tug or compress the power cord as this could damage it. Electrical shocks or fire
are usually due to a damaged power cord. Only specialised technical personnel must replace a
damaged power cord.
• Do not use extensions or gang modules.
• Do not touch the appliance when barefoot or parts of the body are wet or damp.
• Do not obstruct the air inlet or outlet of the indoor or the outdoor unit. The obstruction of
these openings causes a reduction in the operative efficiency of the conditioner with possible
consequent failures or damages.
• In no way alter the characteristics of the appliance.
• Do not install the appliance in environments where the air could contain gas, oil or sulphur or
near sources of heat.
• This appliance 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 appliance by a person responsible for
