HOW TO USE THE APPLIANCE

This appliance can be used for SOFTY cooling, heating (only model SOFTY PLUS), dehumidification and ventilation.

When switching between modes, the fan continues to turn but the compressor stops: the compressor will re-start after 3

minutes. This delay protects the compressor from potential damage.

THE DISCHARGE TUBE MUST BE CONNECTED to the appliance AT ALL TIMES: the only exception is when the

appliance is used in dehumidification mode only, in which case the appliance should be left to discharge directly

into the room for maximum efficiency (see the “Dehumidification Mode” paragraph).

Clean the air filters under the easily removable rear grille regularly to keep the air conditioner working efficiently.

OPERATING MODES

Cooling, Heating, Ventilation

Dehumidification

V 10/16

NOTE

The air conditioner does not cool the room when operating as a dehumidifier.

When the appliance is used as a dehumidifier, the flexible pipe must not be connected.

For maximum dehumidification efficiency, leave the rear discharge attachment free to discharge directly into

the environment.

The dehumidification mode is recommended during autumn and winter.

If used during summer, it is best to leave the flexible pipe attached so that the hot air is discharged towards

the outside rather than into the room.

During dehumidification, continuous drainage should be implemented (see the next chapter, “HOW TO ELIMINATE

CONDENSATE”).

4. VENTILATION MODE (FAN ONLY)

 Press the MODE button until the Fan icon appears.

 In this mode, the fan speed can be adjusted.

 The temperature cannot be adjusted.

HOW TO ELIMINATE CONDENSATE

Cooling & Heating (Softy plus)

This appliance automatically vaporises condensate in the cooling and heating mode.

Ensure that when the unit is operating in cooling and heating mode, the rubber caps

closing the drainage holes on the rear of the appliance are properly positioned.

When the air conditioner operates in cooling and heating mode, there is no need for

continuous condensate drainage; only in specific weather conditions with very high air

humidity levels may water deposit inside the unit. When the internal container is full,

the display visualises message “P1” and the appliance stops functioning.

To empty the container, switch the air conditioner off and unplug it. Remove the cap

form the rear drainage hole and direct it over a normal drain.

Ensure that the tube is not twisted or bent. The tube must slope downwards. Re-close

the drainage hole with the cap and resume use of the air conditioner.

Dehumidification

WARNING!

When using the air conditioner in dehumidification mode, it is advisable to always

arrange for continuous drainage, so as to maximise dehumidification efficiency.

Connect one end of the PVC pipe provided to the rear discharge hole and place the

other end above a drain.

V 10/16
