Before cleaning or maintenance, always turn the
unit off by placing the selector in the “O” position
and unplug from the mains.
CLEANING THE APPLIANCE
We recommend cleaning the appliance with
a slightly damp cloth then drying with a dry
cloth. For safety reasons, do not wash the air
conditioner with water.
Precautions
Never clean with benzene, alcohol or sol-
vents. Never spray liquid insecticide or similar.
CLEANING THE FILTERS
Dust filter
All of the models are equipped with a dust fil-
ter able to capture the dust particles suspen-
ded in the air.
In order to maintain the effectiveness of your
air conditioner unaltered over time, remem-
ber to clean the dust filter every two weeks.
1. Remove the aspiration grill
, (see fig.

Purification filter
Clean the external side of the purification fil-
ter once a week. Use a vacuum cleaner at
an intermediate power level. Never clean
the inside of the filter. Replace the purification
filter at the end of each season or in any
case, when it is no longer effective. The puri-
fication filter can be purchased in the store as
an accessory or at an Authorised Service
Centre as a replacement part. Alternatively,
the dust filter included with the appliance
may be used in place of the purification filter.

It is recommended that you clean this at least
once a month using the following method:
•
turn off the appliance and remove the
plug from the electrical outlet.
•
open the front panel
and remove the
tank .
•
remove the bung from the drainage hose
which can be found at the back the
air conditioner and empty out the water
to a container.
•
after draining off the water, replace the
drainage hose plug.
•
remove the dirt by scrubbing gently with a
cloth where the tank is positioned.

Use a vacuum cleaner to remove the dust
deposits on the filter. If the filter is very dirty,
immerse it in warm water, rinsing it thoroughly.
The temperature of the water should be kept
under 40°C.
After washing it, let the filter dry before re-
