5. Operating Instructions

The Klarstein New Breeze 9 can be controlled via the touch panel on the top of the unit or using the included remote control.

Control Panel and Display:

The control panel features an LCD display and LED indicators for various functions. Refer to Figure 2 for the general layout.

Operating Modes:

The unit offers three primary operating modes:

• Cooling Mode: Standard operation for cooling rooms. Set your desired temperature between 16°C and 30°C.
• Dehumidification Mode (Drying): Removes excess moisture from the air, reducing humidity. The fan operates at a low speed in this mode.
• Fan Mode: Circulates air without cooling. This mode is energy-efficient and can be used for general air movement.

Fan Speed Settings:

In Cooling and Fan modes, you can select from four fan speeds:

• Low
• Medium
• High
• Auto (the unit adjusts fan speed based on room temperature)

Timer Function:

The programmable timer allows you to set the unit to turn on or off automatically after a specified period. The timer can be adjusted in 0.5-hour increments, up to a maximum of 10 hours.

Sleep Mode:

Activate Sleep Mode for quieter operation and gradual temperature adjustment during the night. In this mode, the cooling performance is reduced by 3°C over 3 hours, and then the temperature is maintained at that level.

Remote Control:

The remote control provides convenient access to all functions from a distance. Ensure the remote control has working batteries (included) and is pointed towards the unit's receiver.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficient operation of your air conditioner.

Cleaning the Air Filter:

The air filter should be cleaned regularly (every two weeks or more often depending on usage) to prevent dust buildup and maintain airflow.

1. Unplug the air conditioner from the power outlet.
2. Locate and remove the air filter (usually at the back or side of the unit).
3. Clean the filter with a vacuum cleaner or wash it gently with lukewarm water and mild detergent.
4. Rinse thoroughly and allow the filter to air dry completely before reinserting it into the unit.

Cleaning the Unit Exterior:

Wipe the exterior of the unit with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasives, or solvents, as these can damage the surface.

Storage:

If storing the unit for an extended period:

• Drain any accumulated water from the unit.
• Clean the air filter and the exterior.
• Store the unit in a dry, cool place, preferably in its original packaging.
