ECO REAL FEEL FUNCTION (fig. 16)

ECO REAL FEEL is the innovative De'Longhi technology that works simultaneously on temperature reduction and humidity control, securing best comfort level. With traditional systems, during working time, optimal comfort conditions may be reached but not secured over time. With ECO REAL FEEL, once optimal comfort is reached, PAC automatically modulates compressor action and air flow, to keep it over time. To activate the function, press the ECO REAL FEEL button (D9). The ECO REAL FEEL symbol (C9) appears.

Diagram Description: A graph shows the relationship between Humidity and Temperature, with operating curves for LOW, MEDIUM, and HIGH settings. The 'Perfect!' zone is highlighted.

The “ECO REAL FEEL” status indicator (C9) becomes white for approx. 1 min. to indicate that the appliance is checking the room conditions. After a while the “ECO REAL FEEL” status indicator (C9) changes colour as it approaches comfort conditions (see below).

• ORANGE LIGHT: Room conditions far from optimal level.
• GREEN LIGHT: Most people feel good room conditions, near optimal level.
• BLUE LIGHT: Best comfort level.

NOTE: The well-being feeling is a subjective condition. For this reason, different people may judge differently the same environmental conditions.

TIPS

There are some recommendations to follow to achieve maximum local air conditioner performance:

• Close the windows and doors in the room to be cooled (fig. 20). The only exception is in the event of installation through a hole in the wall. In this case, it is recommended to leave a small opening through a door or window in order to ensure the proper air exchange (fig. 20).
• Do not use the appliance in areas with a high degree of humidity (laundries for example).
• Protect the room from direct sunlight by pulling the drapes and/or partially closing the shutters for extremely economic operation (fig. 21).
• Do not use the appliance outdoors.
• Make sure there are no heat sources in the room.
• Make sure the local air conditioner is level on the floor.
• Do not place objects on the local air conditioner (fig. 22);
• Do not obstruct the air intakes.

CLEANING

Before every cleaning or maintenance operation, shut down the appliance using the  key. Then pull the plug.

We suggest cleaning the appliance with a damp cloth and then drying it.

For safety reasons, do not wash the local air conditioner with water.

Precautions

• Do not use gasoline, alcohol or solvents for cleaning.
• Do not spray liquid insecticides or similar substances.

CLEANING THE AIR FILTER OR SILVER-ION AIR FILTER (only on some models)

To maintain the efficiency of the local air conditioner, it is recommended to clean the dust filter after every week of use. The filter is located near the intake grille. Remove the grille to access the filter. To clean the filter, it will need to be extracted as shown in fig. 23-24.

• Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any dust deposited on the filter.
• If it is very dirty, submerge it into warm water and rinse it several times. The water temperature must be kept below 40° C.
• After washing the filter, allow it to dry.
• To replace, put the filter back in its housing.

If present, the silver-ion air filter not only retains powder particles, but also performs an efficient antibacterial action. In addition, it greatly reduces irritants such as pollen and spores. The filter is treated with small particles of silver (with dimensions equal to millionths of a millimetre) which are able to block the multiplication of bacteria and spores when in contact with them, and therefore encourage their destruction.

CHECKS AT THE START OF THE SEASON

Make sure the power cable and socket are in perfect condition and make sure the earthing system is efficient. Comply strictly with the installation standards.

END OF SEASON OPERATIONS

• To completely drain the water from the internal circuit, remove the cap from the outside of the drainage hose, turning it counter clockwise (Fig. 25).
• Drain the water completely into a basin. When it is completely drained, replace the cap, making sure they are completely closed.
• Clean the filter as indicated previously. The filter must be completely dry before reinserting it.
