Quick guide from the manual
This document provides essential instructions for the safe installation and operation of the Della 048-APACI-10 portable air conditioner. Key requirements include placing the unit on flat ground with at least 50 cm (19.7 inches) of clearance from obstacles, ensuring a direct wall power connection, and proper window venting. The unit uses R32 refrigerant; handle with care and contact a professional if leakage is suspected.
Installation Guide
The unit must be installed indoors on a flat surface. To install the exhaust hose: 1. Firmly click the exhaust duct into the rear opening. 2. Attach the other end to the window slider kit. 3. Secure the slider kit in the window frame using the provided screws and foam seal. Keep the exhaust duct as short and straight as possible to maintain cooling efficiency.
Operation Instructions
The unit can be controlled via the top panel or the included remote. Modes include Auto, Cool, Dry, and Fan. Temperature can be adjusted between 60°F - 90°F (16°C - 32°C). The unit features an ECO mode (accessible via control panel in Cool mode) and a Sleep mode (remote only). Timer functions allow for scheduled power on/off.
Wi-Fi and App Connection
Download the DELLA+ app from the App Store or Google Play. Register an account, then select Add Device. Ensure your phone is connected to a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network. Follow the in-app prompts to pair the air conditioner.
Water Drainage
When the internal tank is full, the display shows FL. Move the unit to a drain location, remove the bottom drain plug, and empty the water. For continuous drainage during Dry mode, remove the upper drain plug and attach a drain hose leading to a suitable drainage area.
Care and Maintenance
Always shut down and unplug the unit before cleaning. Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Remove air filters regularly and clean them with a vacuum or warm water with mild detergent. Ensure filters are completely dry before re-installation.
