Dimplex DAC12005_9005.qxd 7/5/05 3:34 PM Page 2 FEATURES The air-conditioning unit is of the mono tube type, transportable (on wheels) with air/air operating system for domestic use and has 3 settings. • Ventilate/Fan. • Cool. • Dehumidify. The ventilation mode "moves" the air allowing for its recycling much like a fan. The cooling mode, a refrigerating circuit (compressor), cools the room by transferring the heat from inside to outside though the air exhaust hose.
Dimplex DAC12005_9005.qxd 7/5/05 3:34 PM Page 3 IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS • The air conditioning unit must always be stored and transported upright, otherwise you may cause irreparable damage to the compressor; in case of doubt we suggest you wait for at least 24 hours before you start the air-conditioning unit. • Avoid restarting the air conditioning unit unless 4 minutes have passed since its turned off or the compressor may get damaged.

Dimplex DAC12005_9005.qxd 7/5/05 3:34 PM Page 7 ADDING WATER An added feature of these models. Humidity absorbed from the air condenses at the Evaporator, turns into water and is collected in the internal tank.When enough water is collected it is pumped up and over the condenser, assisting the cooling of the refrigerated gas, increasing the COOLING CAPACITY. Some of this recycled water is evaporated at the condenser and expelled from the machine as water vapour though the exhaust hose.

Dimplex DAC12005_9005.qxd 7/5/05 3:34 PM Page 9 DRAINAGE IN HIGH HUMIDITY CONDITIONS AND STORAGE ONLY During the process of cooling, water will be generated from the air and collected in the water tank inside the unit.When the tank is full, the compressor will stop and the Full Water indicator on the control panel will come on to remind you to empty the water tank. During this time the fan will continue to operate circulating the air. The water tank should be emptied as follows: 1. Turn off the unit.
Dimplex DAC12005_9005.qxd 7/5/05 3:34 PM Page 10 Dehumidification. NOTE! The machine operates in the cooling mode but it does not lower the room temperature. It absorbs the excessive humidity present in the air. 1. Plug the unit into a proper electrical outlet. 2. Position the exhaust tube as shown or remove from the air-conditioner. 3.Turn the TIMER to position ON or 1 to 8 hours automatic timer setting. 4. Set the FAN SPEED control to the desired output of airflow, high or low. 5.
