Maintenance and service
7.1
Precautions for maintenance and
service
NOTICE
Maintenance MUST be done by an authorised installer or
service agent.
We recommend performing maintenance at least once a
year. However, applicable legislation might require shorter
maintenance intervals.
CAUTION: Pay attention to the fan!
It is dangerous to inspect the unit while the fan is running.
Make sure to turn OFF the main switch before executing
any maintenance task.
CAUTION
Do NOT insert fingers, rods or other objects into the air
inlet or outlet. When the fan is rotating at high speed, it will
cause injury.
NOTICE
NEVER inspect or service the unit by yourself. Ask a
qualified service person to perform this work. However, as
end user, you may clean the air filter, suction grille and the
unit exterior.
WARNING
NEVER replace a fuse with a fuse of a wrong ampere
ratings or other wires when a fuse blows out. Use of wire
or copper wire may cause the unit to break down or cause
a fire.
CAUTION
After a long use, check the unit stand and fitting for
damage. If damaged, the unit may fall and result in injury.
NOTICE
Do NOT wipe the controller operation panel with benzine,
thinner, chemical dust cloth, etc. The panel may get
discoloured or the coating peeled off. If it is heavily dirty,
soak a cloth in water-diluted neutral detergent, squeeze it
well and wipe the panel clean. Wipe it with another dry
cloth.
CAUTION
Before accessing terminal devices, make sure to interrupt
all power supply.
DANGER: RISK OF ELECTROCUTION
To clean the air conditioner or air filter, be sure to stop
operation and turn all power supplies OFF. Otherwise, an
electrical shock and injury may result.
WARNING
Be careful with ladders when working in high places.
NOTICE
When cleaning the heat exchanger, make sure to remove
the electronic components above it. Water or detergent
might deteriorate the insulation of electronic components
and result in burnout of these components.
DANGER: RISK OF ELECTROCUTION
Disconnect the power supply for more than 10 minutes,
and measure the voltage at the terminals of main circuit
capacitors or electrical components before servicing. The
voltage MUST be less than 50 V DC before you can touch
electrical components. For the location of the terminals,
see the warning label for persons performing service and
maintenance.

7.2.1
To clean the exterior
WARNING
Do NOT let the indoor unit get wet.
Possible
consequence:
Electrical shock or fire.
Clean with a soft cloth. If it is difficult to remove stains, use water or
neutral detergent and wipe with a dry cloth.
7.2.2
To clean the air filter
When to clean the air filter:
▪ Rule of thumb: Clean every 6 months. If the air in the room is
extremely contaminated, increase the cleaning frequency.
▪ Depending on the settings, the user interface can display the
"Time to clean filter"
notification. Clean the air filter when the
notification is displayed.
▪ If the dirt becomes impossible to clean, change the air filter
(= optional equipment).
