8Pre p a ra t i o n f o r u s eHOW TO USE THE AIR-CONDITIONER WITH WATERThese air conditioners can use both air and water to cool the condenser (the hot part) of the airconditioner.To utilise the full potential of your air conditioner, the tank needs to be filled with water. The wateris used to increase the cooling power and reduce the noise level and energy consumption of the airconditioner. The water that is used in then expelled from the machine as water vapour through theexhaust hose (it does not go into room).Always use clean top water (which doesn’t contain salts). As a rule the water will usually last about 8hours however this depends on the conditions within the room, such as temperature, humidity, insula-tion and aspect and number of people. In turbo mode the water will also be used more quickly.You may also use the air-conditioner on air cooling only (without filling the water tank if you only requi-re the lower cooling power).235A) To open the front panelgrip either side of thepanel and gently pull thepanel towards you andupwards. Remove the tankLifting it forward.53B) Turn the tank upside downand remove the plug,remove the extendibletube and fill the tank, lea-ving it on the ground.C) After completing the fil-ling procedure, replacethe extendible hose,replace the cap andscrew it in tightly. Returnthe tank to its place, withthe writing FRONT clearlyvisible. Carefully hold thepanel in the centre andlower to its closed posi-tion.During the "water functioning" operation and in particularly silent locations (eg the bedroom) aslight gurgling sound may be heard. This is completely normal.IN HIGH HUMIDITY CONDITIONSWater is extracted from the air in the room, this water is also used to cool the condenser. Whenthe humidity is particulary high an excess of water may build up in the internal tank. This can bedrained by removing the bung from the drain hose and draining into a suitable receptacle.11IMPORTANT: if the room temperature is 32°C or over the airconditioner must be operated with withwater in the tank.2
